Eagle FC president Shamil Zavurov, in his recent interaction with RT Sport, weighed in on a possible grappling match between former UFC Champions Khabib Nurmagomedov and Georges St. Pierre.

Though both the fighters are retired from MMA at the moment, Zavurov is optimistic about a potential grappling contest between the two.

"Khabib is always in shape. I also follow Georges St-Pierre on Instagram and I can see he's always in shape too. Always training. Same for Khabib... He is such a big fan of the sport that he is still in great shape. He's in the United States now and he's working hard with other guys twice a day. It will be exciting but you better ask Khabib,” he told RT Sports.
