Former UFC champion in two weight divisions George St. Pierre told why the American promotion never arranged his duel with Khabib Nurmagomedov.
“No, that won't happen again. We tried to organize this fight. It won't happen again, but it's okay. Perhaps this is for the best. I am a big Khabib fan. He is an amazing fighter with an incredible career.
Why didn't the fight take place? Didn't agree on time. When Khabib and I wanted it, the UFC didn't. And now we are both finished, and they want this fight. It's about money. They wanted to do what is beneficial to them, and not what is beneficial to us and the fans - that's the real reason why the fight did not take place, ”the Canadian said in an interview with Sherdog.
