UFC legend and arguably the sport’s GOAT George St Pierre recently appeared on the Joe Rogan. The former Welterweight Champion discussed a number of topics during the podcast, including the dream bout that never materialised against Khabib Nurmagomedov.
‘To me, Khabib is one of the scariest to do it” George St Pierre began on the podcast. “Because he’s beating you down. He’s not only beating you, but he’s breaking you mentally. And for me, that is worse than anything. For me, he’s the scariest one pound-for-pound.”
‘I would have been (interested in fighting Nurmagomedov)” GSP added. “But it’s over now. I was done three years ago.’
George St Pierre on Khabib
‘I wanted to come back for Khabib because for a fighter, the scariest thing sometimes is the most exciting thing to do” St Pierre revealed. “And (Khabib) is a problem that has never been solved before.”
“But to come back for another guy and to fight for another title, then if I win it’s going to be another one and another one” George St Pierre would conclude. “I’m going to turn 40 years old, and I hate to admit it Joe, and I refuse to accept it, but sometimes I feel like my best years might be behind me.”
