The winds of change they are a-blowing, and that could bode well for Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Since winning the UFC lightweight title last year, Nurmagomedov has been singularly focused on one thing: a potential superfight with Georges St-Pierre. Likewise, St-Pierre was also interested in fighting Khabib following Khabib’s domination of Conor McGregor, niy Dana White and the UFC insisted that fight would never happen. Instead, St-Pierre retired from the sport when it became clear a fight with Nurmagomedov was out of the question and the lightweight champion went on to defend his title successfully against Dustin Poirier.
