Georges St-Pierre’s coach thinks he has the best matchup for the former UFC middleweight and welterweight champion in mind. That would see him compete in the rumored 165-pound division in the UFC that has been pitched heavily by fighters.

St-Pierre went on record before his last fight by saying that the reason he is returning to MMA to cement his legacy as one of the all-time greats in the sport. He fought once and then stepped aside due to an illness. While doing a recent interview, GSP made it known that he will make a decision if he wants to fight again soon.

If he does return, then fighting 5 pounds lighter than he used to would be perfect. Thus, Firas Zahabi believes it’s an option.

“As of what I understand right now, there is no 165 [pound division],” Zahabi told YouTube channel MMA Betz (transcript via BJPenn.com). “It’s a ‘maybe’ from what I understand. It’s a rumor I should say, and if that happens I think it could be very interesting for Georges. I’m hoping that rumor is true.”

If this were to happen then he already has the best matchup in mind. That would be to take on UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.

“I think the best matchup would be, for sure, Khabib [Nurmagomedov]. If they were to create a 165-pound division, I think it would make a lot of sense to have Georges St-Pierre and Khabib be the first ones to fight for that title.”

Lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has responded to Nate Diaz’ claims of slapping him in the face.

The Dagestani fired back at Diaz after the Stockton bad boy claimed to have slapped Khabib in the face in front of his entire team. Diaz also claimed that neither Khabib or anyone in his entourage did anything to oppose him.

After his UFC 229 victory over Conor McGregor, Khabib posted a video of himself on social media. The video was of him submitting McGregor. The champ kindly reminded the Irishman that he would always have to live with the ‘shame’ of his loss.

“You will live with this shame all your life, bi… #tapmachine #mactaper”

As it turns out, Nate Diaz is the one who responded to Khabib’s tweet. He took this opportunity to remind the Dagestani how he slapped him across his face while his team stood by and watched.

“I slapped you in your head you and your team didn’t do sh*t … Live with that ur all pu**es”

As you can probably imagine, Khabib has a slightly different recollection of events that night. For starters, “The Eagle” claims Diaz ran away and hid behind security. Khabib also claims that his team ‘smashed’ the Stockton crew and he has video evidence to prove it:

“You was hiding behind security and ran away coward, it’s clear on the video. We just smashed your team that night you punk”

Diaz wasn’t done, as he fired back claiming Khabib knew what happened so he would have to deal with it:

“Be real You know what happened live with it”

Khabib-Diaz?

This beef seems to be taking off rather quickly on social media and for good reason. The two have history not only in their outside-the-cage brawl but their shared rivalry with McGregor. Diaz almost came back to the cage after more than two years away to clash with Dustin Poirier at last November’s UFC 230.

He may be angling for a much bigger fight now. The clear choice for the next contender is Tony Ferguson. Yet Khabib’s manager recently claimed Ferguson didn’t sell enough tickets to fight the champ next. Diaz would arguably fit the bill, and many would favor ‘The Eagle’ to win hands down.

A rematch with McGregor is always available for the champ as well. First, we have to find out when Nurmagomedov can return at his NSAC hearing January 29.
