Khabib Nurmagomedov on fight with Georges St-Pierre: ‘He’s 40 years old, let’s just leave it’

A fight with Georges St-Pierre has been Khabib Nurmagomedov’s dream matchup, but the recently retired Russian is adamant the fight will not happen.

When the two fighters met in an episode of UFC Embedded in 2017, Khabib said it was his late father’s dream to see him compete against GSP. Since then, Khabib has won the UFC lightweight title and defended it three times. Nurmagomedov (29-0) retired after his latest title defense against Justin Gaethje last October.

Talking recently to ACA fighter Magomed Ismailov, Khabib thinks a fight with St-Pierre is past its expiry date.
