Georges St-Pierre is said to have had the lead on Khabib Nurmagomedov, according to an MMA icon who trained with 'Rush'.
In his amazing career, the Canadian proved himself as one of the best of all time, with the help of its formidable gripping skills and unparalleled Vecht IQ to win titles in two weight distributions.
St-Pierre conquered Nick Diaz's Mind Games, won the trilogy against Matt Hughes and earned the love of fans around the world.
The only thing he didn't do was share the octhoek with 'The Eagle'.

Chael Sonnen thinks Georges St-Pierre Khabib Nurmagomedov would have defeated
A matching between Georges St-Pierre and Khabib Nurmagomedov is said to have placed two of the best mixed martial artists to have once walked the face of the earth, against each other, in an almighty collision.
The fact that it never happened, still leaves some MMA enthusiasts with sleepless nights, including Chael Sonen, who is convinced that 'GSP' would have had the lead.
In an episode of Fight Back said with Jake Shields, 'The American Gangster',
“I rolled with Georges. I think Georges would have defeated him. '
The host replied: “I trained with both of them. I don't want to share my opinion, but I think that's a good gamble. “
Shields discussed his time with Nurmagomedov and added: “He is clearly really good, but Georges just has that explosion. I don't know, a heavy fight. “
Georges St-Pierre explains why he rejected Nate Diaz Fight
Nurmagomedov is not the only big fight that St-Pierre has missed, where the legend ever is considering an offer to hire Nate Diaz.
Although not necessarily as mandatory as a confrontation with the Russian, a collision with the Stockton Brawler would still have received enormous attention from the casual fans.
After much attention, the UFC Hall of Famer called the difficult call to say no.
Now St-Pierre has explained why he didn't want to fight against Diaz.
