Khabib Nurmagomedov’s dream fight was always Georges St-Pierre and, in a recent interview with MMA Junkie, ‘The Eagle’ revealed that UFC president Dana White tried to lure him back into the octagon with an offer he couldn’t refuse.
Except he did.
Nurmagomedov turned down a fight against his idol St-Pierre because, in his own words, the Dagestani is finished with the sport and has no intention of returning to the UFC no matter what offer they put on the table.
“He sent me a message and said, ‘Hey, Georges St-Pierre wants to fight with you,’” Nurmagomedov said.
