Khabib's Manager Thinks UFC Star Could End Retirement to Fight Georges St-Pierre

If UFC president Dana White wants to coax Khabib Nurmagomedov back into the Octagon, there's one matchup out there that could do the trick.

Asked by ESPN's Brett Okamoto what type of challenge would interest Nurmagomedov in ending his retirement, manager Ali Abdelaziz didn't have to think too hard.

"I think the one thing that would make Khabib crazy, make Dana crazy and make everyone crazy. I think if Georges St-Pierre picked up the phone and called Dana White and he said 'I'm going to make 155 pounds,'" Abdelaziz said. "And I love Georges St-Pierre, everybody knows how much I love Georges St-Pierre, but Georges St-Pierre, he's playing with us also because he keeps doing interviews and he knows what he's doing.
