Enforcement Proceedings Started Against Khabib Nurmagomedov After Tax Evasion Charges

Khabib Nurmagomedov

Khabib Nurmagomedov, the undefeated UFC legend, is facing a new opponent: the taxman. The ‘Eagle’ has landed in hot water with Russian authorities over unpaid taxes. This came after ‘Eagle’ owed more than $3,400,000 to the Federal Tax Service.

As of June 5, Nurmagomedov has been grounded, literally. Moreover, he is prohibited from leaving Russia while authorities hunt for his assets. Enforcement proceedings have begun against the former UFC lightweight champion, totaling a whopping $900,000. So, Khabib’s toughest fight might be against the Federal Tax Service.

Since his garage is quite impressive, Nurmagomedov’s cars are the next target for the FTS. His luxurious car collection includes:

Ferrari California T – $300,000
Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S – $161,000
Mercedes-Benz S-Class – $122,000
BMW 7 Series – $101,000
Toyota Land Cruiser – $85,000
Toyota Tacoma – $44,000

That’s enough horsepower to make any car enthusiast green with envy. Auctioning these off is more than just chump change. It’s enough to make even a champion sweat. Authorities are eyeing Nurmagomedov’s family home in Dagestan for potential seizure.

Khabib Nurmagomedov’s condition is a far cry from his last appearance in the octagon. In October 2020, he submitted Justin Gaethje at UFC 254, maintaining his perfect 29-0 record. Now, he’s grappling with a very different kind of submission in the form of taxes.

Conor McGregor Enjoys Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Misery 

Amid tax invasion charges, the rivalry between Conor McGregor and Nurmagomedov just got a new chapter. The undefeated UFC legend faces a $3.4 million problem with Russian authorities. Meanwhile, the ‘Notorious’ couldn’t resist taking a jab at his old rival’s misfortune.

While Khabib Nurmagomedov grapples with this financial chokehold, McGregor is living his best life. The ‘Notorious’ took to social media, flaunting his carefree lifestyle aboard a luxury yacht. He is seen singing “Still D.R.E” while piloting his expensive luxury boat. Well, talk about rubbing salt in the wound.

The contrast between their current situations couldn’t be more stark. Khabib Nurmagomedov might lose his house and the entire collection, while Conor McGregor’s biggest worry is probably too much sunburn from yachting. The ‘Notorious’ has certainly kept the rivalry alive with his social media jabs despite ‘Eagle’s’ vow never to fight again. It remains to be seen what the next phase of this rivalry will lead to.
