The Russian government has seized the expansive supercar collection of former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. This drastic move comes as a result of Khabib’s alleged failure to pay $3.4 million in taxes, which has led to enforcement proceedings of around $900,000 against the 35-year-old retired star.
This includes a family house in Dagestan and his car collection:
Ferrari California T – $300K
Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S – $161K
Mercedes-Benz S-Class – $122K
BMW 7 Series – $101K
Toyota Land Cruiser – $85K
Toyota Tacoma – $44K
According to reports, the court has ordered Russian law enforcement to search and seize Khabib’s assets worth $900,000, which will then be sold to recoup the unpaid taxes. This means that Khabib’s prized collection of high-end vehicles, estimated to be worth millions of dollars, is now in the hands of the Kremlin.
The situation has left Khabib’s fans and the MMA community deeply concerned about his future. With the loss of his lavish car collection, the Dagestani fighter may be forced to part with his other valuable assets, including his house, in order to settle the outstanding tax bill.
Meanwhile, Khabib’s longtime rival, Conor McGregor, has seized the opportunity to mock the Russian’s misfortune. McGregor, who has a history of taunting Khabib on social media, reposted a video of himself piloting his yacht while listening to “Still D.R.E.” by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, seemingly to highlight the stark contrast between his and Khabib’s lifestyles.
McGregor went on to suggest that most other stars in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) would be better than Khabib, stating, “The guy won’t even fight, come on. The one thing that really attracts me to this game is, these are bad f*cking men and women here in this f*cking company.”
Despite Khabib’s legal troubles, the former champion remains determined to put his affairs in order and move forward. He has been forced to travel to the United States to train his protégé, Islam Makhachev, while simultaneously trying to resolve his tax issues back in Russia.
As the saga unfolds, the MMA community will be closely watching to see how Khabib navigates this challenging situation and whether his longtime rival, Conor McGregor, will continue to capitalize on his misfortune.
