If UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov gets his way, he will fight three times in the next 11 months. And one of those fights will come against Georges St-Pierre.
"He gave me very specific instructions," Nurmagomedov's agent, Ali Abdelaziz, said, per Brett Okamoto of ESPN.com. "He said he wants to fight Sept. 7 and again in December. And if [former welterweight champion] Georges St-Pierre can figure things out with the UFC by April, that's the deal. He would like that fight in April."
Okamoto noted the 37-year-old St-Pierre announced his retirement in December but said he wanted to fight Nurmagomedov during the retirement announcement.
