MONTREAL – If a Georges St-Pierre vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov fight is to ever happen, don’t count on it taking place at lightweight. Once upon a time, St-Pierre (26-2 MMA, 20-2 UFC) said he was capable of making the 155-pound limit to go for a title reign in a third weight class. It would be the dream scenario for a potential showdown with Nurmagomedov (28-0 MMA, 12-0 UFC), but the chances now seem more grim than ever. St-Pierre’s longtime head coach, Firas Zahabi, said that, at 38, he doesn’t see “Rush” making the commitment to cut down to that division for the first time.
