"Yesterday the UFC called me with a proposal to hold the main bout of the evening against Nate Diaz, or against Georges St-Pierre," Khabib said during a live interview on Match TV. "They hope that I will take the fight. But it is four days after the month of Ramadan, and it would be hard physically to fight five rounds. I'll be back in September and October."

I get it if he doesnt "fight" during Ramadan, but not even training? this is just dumb, i know its his religion, but it is messing with his professional life too.

You're telling me Nate Diaz and GSP are options to fight there but the UFC would match them up with Khabib rather than each other? Lmao, this dude is straight lying

He can't train properly because Ramadan requires you to fast after sunrise and before sundown every day for an entire month.

Not necessarily. UFC might have just wanted a proposed fight in hand before approaching GSP. We've gotten no indication that GSP accepted or would accept.

Nate Diaz has stated that GSP is "Nick's fight" and would not consider it.

In all fairness if you are a truly religious person then it should come before your professional life.

I'm not but I can appreciate his moral conviction on the matter.

cant train.. no drinking water during daylight hours and all sorts.....

this seems weird though, UFC offer a fight to a fighter they know isnt even available for ufc 200

LOL as though Nick is in the running for anything, he hasn't had a win in 5 years and that was over an older, smaller BJ.

 

[tdko]

never thought of that, but Khabib vs GSP would be such a sick fuckin fight

How can he train if hes only eating twice a day?
