Who would win in a fight between lightweight legend Khabib Nurmagomedov and reigning UFC 155-pound champion Islam Makhachev?
That was the topic of conversation between former two-division titleholder Georges St-Pierre and head coach Firas Zahabi.
“Well, it’s hard to say,” St-Pierre said when asked who would come out on top between the two Dagestani icons. “Khabib might have a more solid game in terms of positioning, ground-and-pound, and takedowns. I say that, but I don’t know either of these guys personally. I’ve never trained with them. I’m just basing this on my analysis of their styles when I watch them fight.
