In a recent interview with TSN’s Montreal 690 Radio Show, GSP revealed that a fight with Khabib had previously been in the works, but unfortunately fell through.
In case you didn’t know…
St-Pierre is one of the most popular and successful fighters in the history of the UFC. In 2018, the Canadian born fighter returned to the octagon, following a four year lay off, to claim the Middleweight belt from Michael Bisping.
Unfortunately, due to serious health issues plagued GSP before and after the fight with Bisping, he made the decision to retire earlier this year.
The heart of the matter…
Although GSP is adamant that he currently has no plans to make a second return to mixed martial arts, he has no problem discussing how he believes he would get the upper-hand over the undefeated Nurmagomedov.
What’s next?
Khabib has a long queue of dangerous contenders knocking on his door for a shot at his Lightweight title. If the Dagestani grappler does manage to overcome the likes of Poirier, Ferguson and McGregor undefeated, it leaves very little else for him to do in the sport. Except, perhaps, to test himself about one of the greatest of all time in Georges St-Pierre.
