Dana White tries to explain why he won’t book Khabib vs GSP: St-Pierre didn’t keep his word

Georges St-Pierre and Khabib Nurmagomedov have been wanting to fight each other for a while, but the UFC hasn’t shown any interest in making the fight happen. These failed negotiations is also one of the reasons why the two-division champion decided to retire.

Months later, and Khabib is still calling for the bout, while St-Pierre’s coach is hinting that an “amazing” offer could make GSP consider making a comeback. Dana White though just isn’t interested, and he tried to explain his reasoning.

“Georges St-Pierre and I had a deal,” White told Aaron Bronsteter.
