Khabib retired from the UFC in 2020 after beating Justin Gaethje at UFC 254. Since then, speculations on whether the unbeaten lightweight champion will return to compete or not are constant in the MMA world.
In an episode of the “Anik and Florian” podcast, the former UFC fighter Kenny Florian reported that a “well-known coach” would be preparing a fight between Khabib and St-Pierre.
However, Dominance MMA Management’s founder and president, Abdelaziz, responsible for Khabib’s career, came to his Twitter to explain that the fight has no chance of happening.
MMA fans think that the unnamed coach that Florian refers is Javier Mendez, Khabib’s trainer. In a recent interview with “Submission Radio” said that the only fight that should make Khabib reconsider returning from retirement is against St-Pierre.
What did Kenny Florian say about Khabib Nurmagomedov versus Georges St-Pierre?
Former UFC lightweight and featherweight title challenger Kenny Florian revealed that a “well-known coach” had information about a possible super-fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Georges St-Pierre.
As many others believe, Florian also thinks that Khabib would only consider resuming his career for a fight against St-Pierre. Supposedly, the duel between the two would be a dream of Khabib’s father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, who died in 2020.
Do you think Khabib should fight Georges St-Pierre? Sound off in the comments.
