Were starting to think maybe the UFC should look into GSP as an opponent for Khabib Nurmagomedov
We get a decent amount of heat around here for continuing to bring up a potential Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Georges St Pierre superfight
But when everyone around Khabib keeps namedropping GSP as the only fighter thatll get Khabib back into the cage well were duty bound to report that to you no matter how often UFC president Dana White tries to downplay the idea
The latest exhibit in our exhaustive collection of Khabib would return to fight St Pierre evidence is Nurmagomedovs head coach AKAs Javier Mendez
You guys gotta remember the key thing is hes gotta ask his mother for permission too Mendez told Submission Radio And I didnt see GSP being offered And I thought the only way he was gonna come out of it was if GSP was in that picture
But based what it happened I dont see why he would want to come out and fight anybody Why Fighting the best is not gonna motivate him Hes not looking at the money aspect of it But if they can put GSP if they can put GSP on the table maybe theres a chance there
And Im not saying it will happen because I dont know but Im just saying GSP might be the only one Ive always thought it was GSP because thats what his father wanted and I think if they can get that one worked out and he can get his mothers permission I think that one could work But I dont think anybody else is gonna work Period
If he asked my opinion I would say hold out for GSP or retire Mendez said Thats what I would tell him But hes never asked me so that conversation never took place
Mendez made it clear that Whites attempts to keep pushing Conor McGregor werent going to pay off
Youre never gonna get that rematch he said Just like youre never going to get the Tony and Khabib fight Thats never gonna happen either Its not gonna happen I mean Khabib doesnt need it He seems fulfilled And like I said I think the only juicy part for him is what his father wanted GSP Ive said it many times And who knows maybe thats out of the question now
Maybe GSP doesnt want it maybe Khabib dont want it now I dont know cause I never talked to Khabib about what he wants Ive always listened to him
