Anything but Fighting: Aiemann Zahabi loves Dragon Ball Z, Naruto

UFC bantamweight contender Aiemann Zahabi is preparing for one of the biggest fights of his career this Sunday at UFC White House, where he will face former champion Sean O'Malley in a high-stakes 135-pound bout. Beyond the octagon, the 38-year-old Canadian has opened up about his passion for anime, particularly Dragon Ball Z and Naruto, shows he enjoys watching with his daughters.

Zahabi (14-2) enters the matchup on an impressive streak, holding the longest active winning streak in the UFC's bantamweight division with six consecutive victories at that weight class. His recent resume includes signature wins over legendary Jose Aldo at UFC 315 and consistently ranked contender Chito Vera, both claimed in 2025. Currently ranked No. 8 in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings, Zahabi believes a victory over O'Malley would cement his status as the undisputed No. 1 contender and set him on a clear path toward a title shot. For O'Malley, the fight represents an opportunity to rebuild his title credentials after back-to-back losses to Merab Dvalishvili, though he did rebound with a win over Yadong Song. An upset victory this weekend would represent the biggest accomplishment of Zahabi's career and would elevate him into the elite tier of the bantamweight division.
