UFC President Dana White has pumped the brakes on the buzz about a potential superfight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Georges St-Pierre.<\/p>\n
Nurmagomedov, the UFC lightweight champion, is currently scheduled to defend his title against the division’s interim champion Justin Gaethje.<\/p>\n
While this challenge is at currently at the forefront of the champion’s mind, he has long expressed interest in a fight with St-Pierre, the former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion, and recently suggested he’d like to fight the Canadian in April<\/a>.<\/p>\n White, however, is not particularly keen on the idea. He reminds that the UFC recently hired St-Pierre as a French-language commentator, and explained that he’d rather the Canadian stick to roles of that type than return to the cage.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, let\u2019s see what happens with Gaethje,\u201d White told TSN<\/a> (via The Body Lock<\/a>). \u201cYou know, that fight\u2019s got to happen first. We just hired GSP, he\u2019s the French commentator now for us. That\u2019s more what I\u2019d like to see GSP doing.<\/p>\n \u201cYou don\u2019t see too many athletes who go out on top. GSP has done that and done it very well. He\u2019s got the money, he doesn\u2019t need the money,\u201d White added. \u201cHe\u2019s working for us now in a different capacity and I\u2019d love to see him go out on top.\u201d<\/p>\n While Nurmagomedov has been eager to fight St-Pierre for some time, St-Pierre recently leaned towards sticking to his current retirement when asked about a potential superfight with reigning UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman<\/a>.<\/p>\n
