UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov doesn’t think anyone can beat him.

However, there’s another fight that interest the MMA universe. A bout between Nurmagomedov and former welterweight king Georges St-Pierre. “The Eagle” was asked about this possible match-up during a Q&A at UFC on FOX 30 fight week:
“Georges is greatest competitor in the UFC of all time,” Nurmagomedov said. “Even if we fight, I think it’s going to be a very tough matchup for me, and for him too.
“I never lose round in the UFC, I think I can give him very tough match. I know you guys love him, but when cage door close I have to smash my opponents. In my mind I think nobody can beat me.”
