‘I’m Finished’- Khabib Nurmagomedov Says He Recently Turned Down Dana White’s Offer To Fight Georges St-Pierre

Former UFC lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov recently sat down for an interview with MMAJunkie. He discussed many things including last weekend’s fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier in his former division. ‘The Eagle’ was also asked about a potential fight between him and fellow legend Georges St-Pierre.

Nurmagomedov is currently retired from the sport of MMA and the UFC. However, many had tipped him for a comeback to persuade his dream record of 30-0. A fight against ‘Rush’ would have provided him with the perfect opportunity to get to that number. Nurmagomedov’s late father, Abdulmanap had previously mentioned this as a fight he would like to see his son have.

“Like, he asked me, he sent me a message and say, Hey, Georges St-Pierre wanna fight with you. I say what can I do? is like, I don’t know, like, I’m finished. No, I think George is finished, you know, let this guy be legit. You know, because he’s 40 years old. And I don’t understand why he have to fight. I think he have managed to, like, I’m finished. I really finish like, people. A lot of people don’t understand this,” said the Dagestani reaffirming his retirement decision.

He also added that he recently discussed with Daniel Cormier if he would ever return to the Octagon. DC was in praise of Khabib’s performance against both halves of the UFC 264 main event. Cormier believes the Russian made it look easy against two of the very best fighters in the world.

Did Khabib Nurmagomedov retire too early?

Many experts and fans believe the undefeated Dagestani was still peaking in his career. They also imply that the best of him inside the Octagon was yet to come. This is a scary proposition, especially considering the fact that he was totally dominant during his reign in the organization.
