Javier Mendez recently offered some insight into a potential grappling contest between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Georges St-Pierre.
While in conversation with Denis Shkuratov and Kacper Rosolowski of Submission Radio, Mendez asserted that the fight appealed to him greatly. However, he further admitted that he was not aware of such a contest being in the works.
Khabib and 'GSP' are popularly regarded as GOATs in the MMA community. A fight between them is something that fans have long yearned for.
While an MMA contest between the two seems unlikely, Mendez revealed that Khabib is more than willing to grapple with anyone. He further admitted that 'The Eagle' built up a reputation for being an indomitable grappler even after having hung his gloves up for good.
"That's pretty interesting. I never heard of that. That would be interesting. That would be fun to watch. He's grappling now. Kills everybody. That guy's still killing everybody, everybody. He's heavier though, but he's killing everybody, more dominant than when he was lighter. He kills, he kills everybody bro, everybody."
Considering the way a clash between the two has been hyped, fans will most certainly pay top dollar to watch the action unfold regardless of the ruleset for a possible matchup.
