Aiemann Zahabi Beats Pedro Munhoz at UFC Edmonton
The bantamweight bout between Pedro Munhoz and Aiemann Zahabi in Edmonton ended with Zahabi’s momentum intact. On November 2, 2024, he earned a unanimous decision over the longtime contender, extending his winning streak to five. Zahabi went on to beat José Aldo in 2025 before Sean O’Malley stopped his run with a second-round knockout in June 2026.
Zahabi won the matchup the preview called close
Zahabi faced an experienced opponent in Munhoz. Zahabi controlled the three rounds well enough to take the decision, with scores of 30–27, 29–28 and 29–28. The official scorecards confirm the result, and the event recap notes that the victory was the biggest of his career to that point.
Aldo win lifted the stakes
Zahabi followed the Munhoz win with another major result: a unanimous decision over former champion Aldo in Montreal on May 10, 2025. All three judges scored that contest 29–28, moving Zahabi into a new tier of the division and extending his streak to seven. The scorecards preserve the narrow margins of the win.
O’Malley ended the streak in 2026
That run ended on June 14, 2026, when O’Malley knocked Zahabi out with a right hand at 4:02 of the second round. The official results describe the finish and record O’Malley as the fighter who halted Zahabi’s six-fight winning streak immediately after UFC 315.
Munhoz entered the Edmonton matchup as the established name, but Zahabi turned the opportunity into a career marker. The result launched a stretch of increasingly high-profile assignments before a former champion finally brought it to a stop.
