Georges St-Pierre has no interest in comeback fight against Khabib: ‘I have a lot more important things to do’

Although Georges St-Pierre formally announced his retirement earlier this year, coach Firas Zahabi has teased that the former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion may be interested in a comeback fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Nurmagomedov, the reigning UFC lightweight champion, is certainly interested in the bout but St-Pierre has other plans.

‘Rush’ shut down any talk of a possible superfight with Khabib in a recent interview with TSN, claiming that he no longer has the drive to compete at the highest level and instead wants to focus on family, which is his new number one priority in life.
