“It’s a fight I’m really excited about, man. Khabib is bigger than me. He reduces weight better than me and I'm older too. This is also a crucial factor. I need to know the terrain (category in which the fight would take place). It is one of the principles of the art of war. I need to know if I will fight in a fight that he already knows and I don't. This could be to his advantage. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate all sides for the fight to happen”, declared St-Pierre.

According to Ultimate's president, Dana White, there will be a meeting with Khabib Nurmagomedov to define the fighter's future and try to convince him to give up retirement. The president stated that the conversation, which will take place on Luta Island, in Abu Dhabi, will be quick.

“It will be a five-minute conversation. It’s yes or no”, said Dana, in an interview with the North American website ‘MMA Junkie'.

In the past, Khabib declared that his dream fight in MMA is a super fight against GSP. Dana White also admitted that he likes the idea of ​​the fight and, if Nurmagomedov wants to try to retire undefeated against the Canadian, the fight could take place.
