Javier Mendez doesn’t think Khabib Nurmagomedov will end up grappling fellow UFC Hall of Famer Georges St-Pierre.
St-Pierre will take part in a UFC Fight Pass Invitational no-gi jiu-jitsu match Dec. 14, but is yet to draw an opponent. People are salivating at the idea of St-Pierre vs. Nurmagomedov, but Mendez said Nurmagomedov vowed to spend more time with his family. Although it would just be a grappling match as opposed to a fight, Mendez knows “The Eagle” takes every challenge seriously, so it would occupy plenty of his time.
“I don’t know if Khabib would do the competition because he stated that his family is what it’s all about,” Mendez told MMA Junkie in an interview set up by SafeBettingSites.com. “More devoted time for the family and knowing him, any challenge is a work. So he’s going to have to stay focused on one particular thing.
