Dana White addresses the Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. GSP rumor
During Friday’s UFC 200 press conference, UFC president Dana White was asked to comment on top lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov’s recent statement that he was offered a fight with Georges St. Pierre for July’s UFC 200 event in Las Vegas.
The UFC president seemed rather shocked by the question, which prompted him to respond with the following:
“What? To the best of my knowledge that is completely inaccurate. Yea… I was not in that meeting.”
Khabib is coming off a TKO victory over Darrell Horcher which he earned earlier this month at UFC on FOX 19.
The top lightweight contender revealed in a recent interview that the UFC had offered him fights with both GSP and Nate Diaz for July’s UFC 200 event.
