Welterweight G.O.A.T. Georges St-Pierre was quoted recently on an MMA TRUFAN documentary podcast, and discussed the allure of a superfight vs. the lightweight G.O.A.T. Khabib Nurmagomedov. Last year Nurmagomedov’s manager Ali Abdelaziz said that was the fight “The Eagle” wanted. GSP wanted it just as much, but the UFC declined to make it, presumably over concerns that St-Pierre could, again, win a title and abandon it, as he did after beating Michael Bisping at middleweight.

Khabib was very exciting for me because, for a fighter, a fighter doesn’t think like a normal person, said St-Pierre. A fighter always wants to fight a guy who seems invincible, a guy who seems like the perfect fighter, who is unbeatable. He has an aura of invincibility. So, that means if I do it I’ll be the first to have ever done it. It’s not a question of money. Yeah, the money is there but it’s not a question of money first. It’s a question of glory, of self-accomplishment, of making it in a way that you’ll be in history forever, for myself.
