UFC president Dana White is scheduled to meet Khabib in Abu Dhabi and discuss his future in UFC. Dana White will try his best to try and convince Khabib to come back for one last fight against Conor McGregor, but Khabib’s father always dreamt of him fighting St-Pierre.

When asked about the Khabib fight St-Pierre said “It freaking excites me, man. Khabib is bigger than me. He’s a better weight cutter than me, probably, and I’m older than he is, and that plays too,” GSP said. “We need to know the terrain. It’s one of the principles of the art of war. I need to know if I fight in a place that he knows the terrain and I don’t, it’s an advantage for him. Right now it’s an advantage for him. I don’t have the structure to train, and he does. So there needs to compromise on both sides to make the fight happen.”

Conor McGregor or St-Pierre which fight is most probably to happen against Khabib?

Dana also said that if Khabib only wants to return for the St-Pierre fight the he would make that happen as well.
