"When you see him fight, he's incredible. He wins every round. Nobody has ever even found a weakness in him. So he's a real good problem to solve. "For me, as a fighter, that's the most exciting thing."
Normally a welterweight fighter calling out a lightweight would be weak sauce but a) GSP is going to be 38-years old and barely fights anymore, b) they are the same height and both walk around at 190-lbs., and c) Khabib is arguably the #1 fighter in the world. GSP eyeing that triple-champ status.
Agreed with your whole post. Did not like Mousasi calling out Rory, or TJ calling out DJ, but this feels different and I want to see it. I feel like London or Berlin would be the most fitting place to have this fight if they could get it signed.
https://www.rt.com/sport/450411-khabib-confirms-ufc-legend-georges-st-pierre-target-november/ Khabib is down. “He has one or two fights left… Georges St-Pierre is the greatest fighter ever to step in the octagon. That’s my opinion. “I think he can drop to my weight [155lbs]. It would be interesting to fight him. “My return will be planned for around November, in New York [in Madison Square Garden]. He’s fought there before, and there’s a big [Russian] diaspora."
