Khabib Nurmagomedov really wants to fight retired UFC legend Georges St-Pierre. Despite having two fights himself to get through, and the fact that GSP retired earlier this year, Khabib has asked his manager to attempt to setup the superfight.
Via TMZ Sports:
Ali Abdelaziz not only reps Khabib — but he’s also close with GSP and helped get Georges back into fighting after a 4-year layoff to take on Michael Bisping in 2017.
Georges won that fight — but hung up his gloves in early 2019 saying, “You should retire on top.”
Now, Ali says the fighters have expressed to him that a Khabib vs. GSP matchup would be a “dream fight” on both ends … but the trick is getting everyone to agree on money and a weight class.
The money would have to be an insane amount for the 37-year-old GSP to come out of retirement. Khabib isn’t going to be an easy fight for anyone to take, let alone a guy who has already decided to retire.
