Georges St-Pierre has said how he would approach a fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov
Former UFC two-division champion Georges St-Pierre says he would have had hit work cut out for him had he ever set foot in the Octagon to face the undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov.
St-Pierre, who retired soon after he claimed the UFC middleweight title from Michael Bisping in late 2017, will go down as one of the most legendary fighters in mixed martial arts history after a breathtaking run with the UFC after which he was rightfully heralded in organization’s Hall of Fame.
Much like Khabib, though, St-Pierre resisted any urge to come out of retirement after stepping away from the sport five years ago, even despite tentative links to a fight with Khabib himself after both men spoke of their interest in testing their skills against one another.
But speaking to fans ahead of the UFC’s first-ever event in Paris, France on Saturday night, St-Pierre detailed how he feels he would have fared against several of the most dominant fighters in recent history.
