With all things considered, the iconic Canada native believes he knows why UFC President Dana White is so reluctant to let Nurmagomedov ride off into the sunset.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn UFC, the way they promote it is \u2018UFC 259,\u2019 that\u2019s the UFC, they promote the UFC, then you have the two guys,&#8221; St-Pierre told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=791L1eGpMpU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ESPN<\/a>. &#8220;So it\u2019s just a different way they promote the sport. I think the promotion should be more centered on the athlete than the promotion because there\u2019s all kinds of titles. The title is just a meaning. Even if you\u2019re champion, doesn\u2019t mean that people think that you are the best in the world if you are champion. You can be champion, but you haven\u2019t fought the best guy. People are not stupid. People know that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor that reason I believe they want to keep Khabib in because they feel like Khabib is undefeated. He has probably the most dominant career ever. I don\u2019t even know if he lost a round\u2014He might have lost a round but he dominate all his opponents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>St-Pierre compared the UFC business model to that of boxing which has the events titled as the fighters&#8217; names who are competing. He also noted how Nurmagomedov is in the same boat as he was now and that the UFC was mad at him for not continuing to keep the ball rolling as champion.<\/p>\n<p>The now 39-year-old former welterweight king in St-Pierre first announced his retirement \u2013 or hiatus from the sport \u2013 in 2013 following his split decision win over Johny Hendricks at UFC 167. At this point, &#8220;Rush&#8221; had defended his crown nine consecutive times at 170-pounds.<\/p>\n<p>Four years later and St-Pierre returned \u2013 this time at 185-pounds to challenge champion, Michael Bisping. Needing only three rounds, St-Pierre got the job done and submitted Bisping via rear-naked choke. Once more, the TriStar product would leave on top.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Nurmagomedov remains the holder of the lightweight title.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey don\u2019t want him to leave on his terms, they want a guy to beat him, then after they gonna be like, \u2018Okay, now you can leave,'&#8221; St-Pierre said. &#8220;But Khabib is smart, I think he\u2019s very smart, he left on top, and there\u2019s nothing wrong with that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Georges St-Pierre is one of the few fighters in MMA to go out atop the peak of the mountain.
