Georges St-Pierre: Khabib Nurmagomedov is probably the best pound-for-pound fighter on earth

[TheHNICuLuv2Hate]

“I think actually one of the best pound-for-pound in the world, maybe the best pound-for-pound in the world, is Khabib Nurmagomedov,” St-Pierre said. “I always said it. For me, he’s probably the best pound-for-pound. Unfortunately, I believe people don’t give him enough credit. Maybe because he’s not American, he’s not someone who talks a lot of trash like Conor McGregor, he’s someone who’s very respectful, he doesn’t make a lot of noise by talking. But the same thing, like I said before about me, is that the resume speaks by itself. You know, the guy’s undefeated, he beat everybody. I’m just sad that the fight with [Tony] Ferguson didn’t happen, because it would have been an amazing fight.

“Look, I really like Khabib,” he said. “It would be crazy. I don’t know what’s going to happen, like I said. There is Conor, there is Ferguson, there is Khabib at 155. Like I said, I don’t know that is what I’m going to plan to do. If I beat Bisping, I might stay at 185. Or I might go challenge a guy at 170. It depends. The way my body is made I couldn’t make 155. It would be a tough cut. Because I walk around at 188 – 188lbs when I wake up in the morning. I think Khabib is about the same size as me. Maybe heavier than me. A lot of 155ers are bigger than me. But it would be a tough cut. And I’m not a big fan of cutting weight. But it depends on who’s there at the right moment. Maybe it could be done, but I don’t know.”

GSP could actually get wrestle fucked here?

Waking up at 188 shredded is a super tough cut to 155, it aint happening bruh

I love Georges but I find he repeats himself a lot in his interviews. Don't get me wrong, I love the guy. Just like I said, he repeats himself a lot in his interviews.

 

[VitorReem]

He's not making 155 let's be serious

He experiences quantum time-leaps, don't you know?
He probably can't remember what he said in the last interview.

[GSP_37]

What top guys did Khabib beat who were near the top at the time?

 

[Franklin U.]

I don't care if it's Gsp saying this.....based on what can you say this???
Don't get me wrong, khabib is a great talent but from his stand up alone, I can't endorse such an opinion.

 

[Bokelj]

Don't know what was in the kebab they were feeding him

 

[Codpiece]

Crazy talk. Khabib is good, but that's just silly.

Yeah, I'd be curious to see the wrestling matchup here.

 

[VVarhead]

Uhhh, maybe because he's a grappler, wtf?

This is MMA, not K1.

 

[IAC]

Very discriminatory of him not counting non-earthlings.

 

[rurouni]

Khabib rarely fights and gsp says he's not popular b/c he's not american. STFU

Kabob is starting to look like Pam Poovey
