The drama surrounding Khabib Nurmagomedov’s financial troubles has taken a new twist, and Conor McGregor is seizing the opportunity to make his feelings known. The UFC Hall of Famer’s issues with the Russian Federal Tax Service seem to be escalating, and McGregor is not letting this chance slip by without a comment.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Khabib, the Dagestani MMA star, is facing a substantial tax bill exceeding $3 million. This comes after an audit revealed discrepancies in his financial documentation related to business investments. Recent updates from Russian news source Mash.ru suggest that the situation has worsened, with officials now working to seize Khabib’s assets in Dagestan. Among the items being confiscated is an impressive collection of luxury vehicles valued at around $900,000.
According to the report, the collection includes a Ferrari California T worth $300,000, a Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S priced at $161,000, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class valued at $122,000, a BMW 7 Series costing $101,000, a Toyota Land Cruiser priced at $85,000, and a Toyota Tacoma valued at $44,000.
In addition to the seizure of his assets, Khabib is reportedly barred from leaving Russia. This poses a significant challenge as he has been residing in Dubai for over a year and has not indicated any plans to return to Russia.

Conor McGregor, ever the provocateur, has had quite the reaction to these developments. Upon learning of the nearly $1 million worth of Khabib’s assets being seized, McGregor couldn’t resist making his feelings known. He took to social media to send a series of taunting messages to his former rival.
“Brotha, I just put in to buy your family home off government because you can’t afford,” McGregor taunted in one of his direct messages to Khabib. “I plan on [taking a] big smelly Irish sh*t.”
In another message, McGregor continued his jabs: “Brotha, I take big sht in your house. Brotha, you abandon from family and now I take your house for sh*t and p*ss.”
McGregor’s comments are his latest attempt to get under Khabib’s skin amid the unfolding tax scandal. The UFC superstar’s knack for stirring up controversy seems as sharp as ever, especially when it comes to his former rivals.
