There’s been a lot of talk about a potential bout between dominant UFC champions Georges St-Pierre and Khabib Nurmagomedov, even after both are seemingly happy with their decisions to retire from mixed martial arts while on top of their games.
Firas Zahabi fielded questions about this possible match up, and he gave a similar response to his friend and pupil, about how they shouldn’t be pressured by anyone to return to competition.
“Listen, Khabib is retired, Georges is retired,” Zahabi said on his YouTube channel. “I’m happy to keep them retired.”
St-Pierre still trains daily as part of his lifestyle, but Zahabi says he wouldn’t dare push his buttons and pull him away from all the good things going on in his life right now.
