Khabib: Georges St-Pierre would be ‘a very tough matchup for me,’ but I have to smash him

UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov will likely be facing former champion Conor McGregor for his maiden title defense. But if there is another fight that greatly piques his interest, it would be against another two-division champion, Georges St-Pierre.

Speaking during a Q&A session prior to the UFC on FOX 30 event in Calgary over the weekend, “The Eagle” admitted that St-Pierre would give him a tough fight. At the same time, he remains assured that no other fighter would be able to deal him his first career loss.

“Georges is greatest competitor in the UFC of all time,” Nurmagomedov said (transcript via MMA Mania).
