Reigning lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is hoping to fight Georges St-Pierre after his title unification bout with Justin Gaethje at UFC 254, but ‘The Eagle’ says the ball is now in ‘Rush’s’ court.
“Regarding Georges St-Pierre, that fight really inspires me,” Khabib said at a press conference in Moscow (video and translation courtesy of RT Sport).” It was my father’s dream fight. But time passes, Georges St-Pierre will be 40 next year. I think he has to decide whether we’ll fight or not. I want that fight. If I beat Justin in October, then fight St-Pierre in April before Ramadan, that would be ideal.
