Georges St-Pierre calls Khabib Nurmagomedov ideal legacy fight: ‘He’s the best fighter in the world’

Georges St-Pierre is standing firm in his stance that should he ever fight again, it will only be against the man he considers to be the best of the best.

Speaking to TSN, St-Pierre was asked for an update on a potential comeback, a topic that has persisted since he announced his retirement in February. The 38-year-old last fought at UFC 217 in November 2017, where he defeated Michael Bisping by third-round submission to capture the middleweight championship (a title he would later voluntarily relinquish).

It’s no secret that “GSP” and current lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov have long been interested in a fight with one another and despite UFC president Dana White having his reasons for not wanting to book that matchup, it’s the only challenge St-Pierre is currently considering given all that he’s already accomplished in MMA.
