Georges St-Pierre open to "novelty fight" with fellow UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov

UFC legend Georges St-Pierre is open to a grappling match with Khabib Nurmagomedov - providing it is just a "novelty" fight.

St Pierre has not fought in the UFC since defeating Michael Bisping to earn the middleweight belt in November 2017 before announcing his retirement two years later. Nurmagomedov similarly retired as a UFC great having never been beaten in the octagon after defeating Justin Gaethje in his final fight two years ago.

The Canadian star has admitted he is completely done from competing and will not be making a full comeback to the octagon at 40-years-old. “If it’s well-organised… if there’s some event that is well-organised, that is a novelty fight, something good, maybe, why not?," St Pierre told MMA News. I’m still in the entertainment world, I’m in great shape. I still train like a professional athlete. I still get it.
