Georges St-Pierre believes that UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is the best fighter on the planet right now. However, he still sees a chance for Justin Gaethje to become the new lightweight champion on October 24.
After a huge lay-off of more than a year, Khabib will return and defend his title against Gaethje at the headliner of UFC 254. That said, his undefeated record will also be at stake. However, ‘The Eagle’ is still leading the odds and is the absolute favorite in the matchup. Likewise, Georges St-Pierre will not bet against him. Yet, he has chalked a way for Justin Gaethje to vanquish his Dagestani opponent.
Pointing out on the stylistic differences between Khabib and Gaethje, GSP said that it is the early stage of the fight that can bless ‘The Highlight’ with a surprise win. If not, the former welterweight champion doesn’t see Gaethje winning the fight.
