Longtime AKA coach Javier Mendez has an replace on the return of former UFC light-weight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov…and it is not a very good one.
‘The Eagle’ has been (loosely) linked with a possible grappling match in opposition to former UFC welterweight titleholder Georges St-Pierre, after promotion president Dana White advised fight sports activities media that he was “closely concerned on the earth of grappling”.
“I do not know if Khabib would compete as a result of he mentioned his household is what it is all about,” Mendez advised MMA Junkie. “Extra time spent with household and figuring out it, any problem is figure. He’ll due to this fact have to remain centered on one factor particularly. He isn’t going to take it flippantly if he does. So I do not see that occuring, however I could possibly be flawed. I’ve by no means spoken to him about it, if he is . However in my view, there is no such thing as a higher match to make than this one.
It isn’t the primary time Nurmagomedov has been linked with a St-Pierre grappling match, however “The Eagle” beforehand advised followers on Instagram that there was “no level” in competing as he has retired from competitors and has different tasks to tackle as a coach and father.
UFC matchmakers will doubtless have to search out one other title in St-Pierre and Nurmagomedov for the UFC Struggle Go Invitational grappling occasion in December.
No strategies?
