After the Gaethje fight, which is expected to happen before the end of 2020, Dana White has said that he will allow Khabib to choose his next opponent.

Before bettors jump to conclusion, there are different factors to take note of. One of them is that not only has Dana White said he would be open to the idea of it, but it seems as if both Khabib and St-Pierre are both interested.
“Sure, [I would be open to St-Pierre] if it's his last fight. This guy's been great to the company, great to the sport. I like Khabib a lot. I would do anything Khabib wanted to do,” said White.

Dana White said this long after St-Pierre retired.
During his retirement speech, he even hinted that a UFC fight between himself and Khabib was talked about but that the UFC had looked the other way.
“We tried to organize the fight—I know Khabib wanted it and I wanted it, but the UFC has other plans,” said St-Pierre.
With all this being said, bettors who are looking for a riskier bet cannot get better odds than this as it seems that the approval from Dana White is there and both sides are in agreement as well. Perhaps, Khabib’s last fight will be exactly what the UFC fans and Khabib himself as looking for.
