Craig Jones, renowned BJJ master, stated that Khabib Nurmagomedov requested as much as $5 million for a grappling match with Georges St-Pierre.
“I was at the Fight Pass Invitational, talking to guys from the UFC. They asked me for ideas on opponents for George. I had no idea who might come up as an opponent. I named Khabib's name. They told me that Khabib asked for $5 million for the fight, something like that. I just said: “Wow!” So Khabib didn’t fit in the money, he raised his price too high.
