On Wednesday, a report surfaced that the legendary Georges St-Pierre will announce his retirement on Thursday at the Bell Centre in Montreal.  The 37-year-old hasn't fought since returning to the octagon and defeating Michael Bisping.

Apparently St-Pierre wanted a super-fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov, but that hasn't happened, or at least it hasn't happened yet.  Once Khabib got wind of the reports, he took to social media to issue a challenge to St-Pierre before he calls it a career.

 

 

Let’s do it in November. After this fight you can retire. I grow up on your fights, and have nothing but respect for you, and I believe showed that to you George when you were in Moscow. But, it would be honor for me to share Octagon with one of the greatest fighters of all time. Let’s do it 155 lbs, or I give away 5lbs to you, cause you newer done 155. Well, it’s your choice 155 or 160, Montreal, NYC, Moscow or Abu Dhabi. Send me location my Friend 📍 #GSPvsKHABIB #ufc #mma #history #RUSSIAvsCANADA

Khabib and St-Pierre both want the fight, but only one man has the power to make it happen.  The ball is now firmly planted in Dana White's corner and the fight world awaits a big announcement, one way or another.
