Appearing in the latest episode of Podcast Anik & Florian, former UFC Kenny Florian boxer talked with commentator UFC Jon Anik about a rumor, although it could not become a reality for many years, but still enough to make MMA fans expect: Georges St-Pierre may be upset with Khabib Nurmagomedov.
“I heard about an unimaginable news last week,” Florian said. “I cannot tell the exact source, but it is from a very famous coach in the MMA world. He is preparing for a pair of likely matches between the Khabib Nurmagomedov and a UFC legend – the Georges St -arierre champion.”
“Currently, at least according to what I know, this match is not sure. But I know that Georges St-Pierre will prepare if it can happen.”
The “solicitation” between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Georges St-Pierre can be traced in 2019, when Khabib once firmly affirmed as a nail that he had nothing more than being confronted with the legendary St-Pierre, who followed Khabib “the greatest MMA martial artist”. However, this match has always encountered the fierce opposition of UFC President Dana White.
It is important that Kenny Florian facts are displayed, the high possibility that the source comes from Tristar's coach Firas Zahabi – the head coach of both Georges St -Pierre and Kenny Florian since the 2000s; So many viewers want to believe that it may be true.
Unfortunately, only a few hours later, the representative of Khabib Nurmagomedov, Ali Abdelaziz, announced on Twitter that “it was just a rumor”. Who knows, in an attempt to hold Khabib back to the stage, White can bear to give it to the Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Georges St-Pierre takes place?
