However, St-Pierre has recently given some hope to a potential bout against the Russian. He said that he would be open to fighting the UFC Hall of Famer in a grappling match. While speaking with Helen Yee Sports, the Canadian stated that he would be open to fighting Nurmagomedov in a grappling match and would like to raise money for charity during the event: "Maybe one day I will do a grappling match (against Nurmagomedov), and if it’s for a good cause and it’s well organized, you never know." However, 'GSP' didn't want to get his fans too excited and went on to say that both fighters are currently happily retired from combat sports: "Every time I say something like this, people get excited and rumors start. But the truth is that we’re retired, and I’m good where I am, and I’m sure he’s good where he is." Watch the full 'GSP' interview here: Khabib Nurmagomedov last fought in 2020 when he beat Justin Gaethje at UFC 254. The Russian won via submission during the second round of their pay-per-view bout in Abu Dhabi. theScore@theScoreGeorges St-Pierre vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov?
