Khabib Nurmagomedov won’t come out of retirement for money, but a super fight with Georges St-Pierre could do the trick.
That’s according to former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier, who trains and mentors Khabib at American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) in San Jose, California.
Nurmagomedov retired undefeated, at 29-0, following his submission win over Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 but ‘The Eagle’ had always wanted to hang up the gloves on his 30th fight with a win over retired welterweight legend Georges St-Pierre.
Cormier isn’t sure the fight will ever come to fruition but believes it’s Dana White’s only shot at convincing Khabib to make a comeback.
