8 UFC Dream Fights Fans Never Got To See

8. Georges St-Pierre Vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov

Of all of the dream fights featured here, GSP vs. Khabib is the only one that realistically has a slither of even the slightest hope of happening.

By all accounts and purposes, Georges St-Pierre is retired from MMA. The French-Canadian made that announcement earlier this year, with him last competing back in 2017 when he returned from a four-year absence to step up to middleweight and dethrone Michael Bisping as the UFC Middleweight Champion.

The possibility of St-Pierre vs. Nurmagomedov is well and truly the stuff of dreams for fight fans. Georges is regarded as one of the all-time best pound-for-pound fighters ever – to some, the best – while Khabib is viewed as the best of the current crop, as reflected by his UFC record of 12-0 and overall MMA record of 28-0.

What gives fans a glimmer of hope here, is the fact that Khabib has publicly stated how he would love to fight Georges St-Pierre. Added to that, Dana White has recently gone on record to say how that would be a fun fight to make should Nurmagomedov get past Tony Ferguson in a fight that’s expected to take place in March or April of next year.

GSP has talked about how he'd fight Khabib if the contract was right, but there's also the matter of finding a weight class. St-Pierre has always competed at welterweight bar that Bisping middleweight contest, and Khabib is the current UFC Lightweight Champion. Then again, comments by Dana White suggest that a recent body cleanse has seen GSP drop down to even less weight than Khabib.
