Conversation History

Chael Sonnen Jan 13, 2026

“I'll go with Georges St—Pierre if you're bringing in former as well. I think that was the match. There was talk that they were going to pay $5M for a grappling match between those two guys. I think that was embellished, but I would have bought that PPV. I'd have loved to have seen Georges vs. Khabib.”

– via his YouTube channel (January 13, 2026), reflecting on the legendary "what if" superfight between Georges St—Pierre and Khabib Nurmagomedov in light of the recent Real American Freestyle (RAF) boom

“Its very hard for anything to get in the way of undefeated”

– reacted to Henry Cejudo's GOAT conversation against Khabib

“The reason we did not get to 30—0, and the reason this stopped at 29—0, had nothing to do with competition. Khabib was not scared of anybody... If you wanted Khabib to get to 30—0, and you wanted him to walk out for the 30th time... it was the weight class... The absolute No. 1 reason fighters retire... is that they don’t want to make weight anymore.The reason you didn’t get Khabib vs. Conor 2 had nothing to do with money or location, had nothing to do with a statement that was made or a promise that was going to be kept. Khabib, as an athlete, was done weighing 155 [pounds]... They could've got Khabib—Conor 2. All they had to do was make it at 170 [pounds].”

– on the reason a Conor McGregor vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov rematch did not happen, via his YouTube channel.
