Conor McGregor - Georges St-Pierre discusses Khabib Nurmagomedov fight
Georges St-Pierre has seemingly poured cold water on talk of him fighting the winner of McGregor’s grudge match with Nurmagomedov.
“I can’t say yet, yes or no. One thing I know is the UFC will never want me to go to 155,” St-Pierre told MMA Fighting.
“They will be scared that I will ride off into the sunset with their belt again. And I understand them. I understand them from a business standpoint.”
Conor McGregor slammed by former team-mate ahead of UFC 229
McGregor’s former SBG Ireland team-mate has branded the Dubliner ‘narcissistic’ ahead of his UFC 229 showdown with Nurmagomedov.
“I’ll be honest with you, I never really got on well with Conor within the gym because me and Conor sparred a lot,” Price said of McGregor in an interview with MMA Fighting’s Peter Carroll. “At the time, Conor was taking fights at lightweight.
“I understand the hierarchy within gyms. Even here at AKA you have heated spars, but afterwards, we shake each other’s hands, we talk about what we can work on and develop as training partners or as a team.
“Basically, with Conor, he’s quite narcissistic. He’ll see you as competition. He’s not very nice to be around in the gym.
“If you’re giving him hard spars, he won’t see you as a friend after a while.”
