Khabib Wants to Fight Georges St-Pierre, ‘It Was My Father’s Dream Fight’

Khabib Nurmagomedov says he wants to fight Georges St-Pierre in April … and claims the UFC is trying to make it happen.

“Regarding Georges St-Pierre, that fight really inspires me,” Khabib said during a media event in Russia.

“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.”

As we previously reported, Khabib’s father, Abdulmanap, died from COVID-19 complications back in July.

But, Khabib says he wants to make his dad’s dream come true — saying “I want that fight.”

“If I beat [Justin Gaethje] in October, then fight St-Pierre in April before Ramadan, that would be ideal.”

The issue — 39-year-old GSP has repeatedly said he’s retired. Though he admitted back in July he would consider another fight if Dana White had the right offer.

Dana must’ve been listening … because Khabib says White is down to make it happen.

“Dana told me after this fight they’ll talk to St-Pierre. If he agrees, we’ll fight. Both I and the UFC want that to happen.”

GSP was called out by reigning UFC welterweight champ Kamaru Usman recently — but told TMZ Sports, “I think for me it’s better if I stay retired … It’s not worth it for me.”

George told us he feels extremely grateful to leave the fight game with all of his faculties and wouldn’t want to compromise that.
