Khamzat, Khabib and Usman: GSP lists three names he will return for

10 July 2022

Georges St. Pierre has listed down three names that he would come out of retirement for. The former UFC champion was asked about the fights that interest him if he is to return and GSP listed down the names of Khamzat Chimaev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Kamaru Usman.

"If I had to come back and fight today, the three current fighters I would choose to fight, and I won't because I don't wanna come back, but If I would have come back... I would want to be the best. So, I'd would the best guys. Maybe Usman, Chimaev and... Khabib, if he would still be there. But, unfortunately for me and the fans and everybody, it's not gonna happen. Because I'm done and I don't miss it at all," said Georges St-Pierre during one of his interviews [h/t Sportskeeda].

GSP retired from MMA with a professional record of 26-2 to his name and had won the UFC Welterweight title and UFC Middleweight title during his run. In fact, GSP is considered to be one of the greatest UFC champions of all time and holds a long list of records to his name.

As for the names that GSP mentioned, Kamaru Usman has been reigning on top of the Welterweight division for a long time since Khabib Nurmagomedov retired with a perfect record of 29-0. Khamzat Chimaev, on the other hand, has been climbing the ranks and is undefeated at the moment.

Interestingly, Khabib vs. GSP is a fight that was in the news for a long time, and apparently, it is a fight that Khabib’s father Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov wanted to see.
