Georges St-Pierre won't rule out grappling match against Khabib Nurmagomedov

UFC legend Georges St-Pierre has refused to rule out a possible grappling match against Khabib Nurmagomedov.

For the longest time now fans have wondered what would happen if Georges St-Pierre and Khabib Nurmagomedov squared off against one another.

“Even some of the guys sometimes, they tell me, ‘Hey, are you preparing a comeback?’ I’m like, ‘No, I’m 40 years old. I’m done.’ I like to stay in there and keep my head in the game.”

Georges St-Pierre always seems to be flying to a different corner of the world in the name of training and taking part in seminars. He’s also just become a part of the Karate Combat family, taking up the role of Sensei for the upcoming fourth season.

On the flip side, Khabib spends most of his days focusing on
