Part of the reason he did so, he explained to “ The BBC MMA Show ,” was a line in St-Pierre’s contract that promised a title defense. St-Pierre couldn’t simply collect a belt and money and skip town. After St-Pierre (26-2 MMA, 20-2 UFC) claimed health complications forced him to vacate the belt , White is in no mood to extend another favor to the French-Canadian star, who’s called for a shot at the winner of an upcoming lightweight blockbuster between champ Khabib Nurmagomedov (26-0 MMA, 10-0 UFC) and superstar Conor McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) at UFC 229. “I’m not interested in that fight,” White said. “He knows that, and I’ve told him that many times.” White has previously addressed the topic , but never has he drawn such a firm line in the sand.
