Georges St-Pierre’s wishes to fight the “perfect fighter” Khabib Nurmagomedov may not be completely thwarted. During a recent interview with ESPN, Dana White was asked if he would be willing to give “The Eagle” what he wanted for his final fight, which could come in 2021.
White was quick to say that he would let Khabib do whatever he wanted as he thinks highly of him and has been good for the UFC and MMA sport in general. And that even includes taking on former UFC middleweight and welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre.
Obviously, a juicy nugget like that took social media by storm, and the combat community was buzzing at the prospect of seeing two of the best pound-for-pound fighters ever shot down in what would likely be the final match for both men.
As far as Khabib is concerned, he already has “Rush” on his tail, as he took the opportunity to slip into one of Joe Rogan’s Instagram posts to poke fun at his fight schedule after Conor McGregor chimed in on the excitement. of Rogan for combat.

It appears that “Notorious” implied that he had a hangover before his fight against Nurmagomedov at UFC 229, which he lost by submission. Whatever the case, “The Eagle” couldn’t pass up the opportunity to let McGregor know that he wasn’t getting a rematch.
As for St-Pierre, he seems a little excited at the prospect of finally achieving the dream fight of his, though it could all go down the drain if Gaethje pulls off one of the biggest surprises at UFC 254 on October 24.
