Aiemann Zahabi battled Jose Aldo at UFC 315, a contest that was hosted in his native country of Canada. Post-fight, Zahabi revealed the emotional turmoil he went through as a result of Aldo's issues during the weight-cutting process.
The fight was initially sanctioned as a bantamweight bout between Aldo and Zahabi. Nevertheless, because the Brazilian fighter did not reach the weight limit of 135 pounds, the fight was altered to a featherweight contest. Zahabi, who had already dehydrated himself to the bantamweight limits, needed to rehydrate to the featherweight limits for the fight.
At the post-fight press conference, the Canadian fighter weighed in on the sudden switch of weight class, stating:

"I was in a terrible spot. I was between a rock and a hard place because the last time they came to Montreal was ten years ago and I don't know if they're coming back. My wife hasn't seen me fight live in five years because I was on a hot streak. Now, I got the mental coach and I feel top of my game. I got my wife front-row tickets, got my family coming, got my friends coming. I got everyone coming here."

He added:
"And it's like, 'Do I fight? or Do I not fight?' If I wanted to become a legend, I would have to face adversities. I'd have to win when the odds were against me and I felt like I did that today."
