UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov explained why he would never agree to fight legendary George St. Pierre in the welterweight division.

“I will definitely never fight in welterweight. This is not my natural weight class at all. In good shape I weigh 82 kilograms, and dropping to 77 kg and weighing 81 kg in a fight against the best fighter in the history of the welterweight division... No, I am a lightweight champion, and if there was something interesting, then I would did in his division,” Khabib told reporters after the EFC 33 show.
