Ben Askren thinks GSP would have beat Khabib Nurmagomedov had he not retired

There’s no doubt that Georges St-Pierre and Khabib Nurmagomedov are two of the greatest MMA wrestlers of all time, but who would have come out on top had they faced off in the Octagon?

Unfortunately, we’ll never know. St-Pierre was originally rumored to collide with Khabib in a UFC super fight, but that bout fell through after ‘Rush’ announced his retirement earlier this year.

Speaking to UFC fighter turned commentator Dan Hardy in a recent interview, former Bellator and ONE FC welterweight champion Ben Askren, who is looking to cement his own legacy as one of the greatest wrestlers in MMA, analyzed the difference between both fighter’s styles.
