The bad news for Khabib Nurmagomedov continues to mount as the Russian Federal Tax Service appears to be bringing the hammer down on the UFC Hall of Famer—and Conor McGregor is loving every minute of it.
Earlier this year, reports claimed that the Dagestani fighter owes more than $3 million in unpaid taxes following an audit of his business investments which “uncovered irregularities in documents.” Now, Russian news outlet Mash.ru is claiming that bailiffs are in the process of seizing Khabib’s properties and assets in Dagestan, including a fleet of luxury cars said to be worth upwards of $900,000.
Per the report, a Ferrari California T ($300k), a Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S ($161k), a Mercedes-Benz S-Class ($122k), a BMW 7 Series ($101k), a Toyota Land Cruiser ($85k), and a Toyota Tacoma ($44k) were all taken as part of the investigation.
Nurmagomedov has also been prohibited from leaving the Russian Federation—an even bigger problem considering ‘The Eagle’ has been living in Dubai for over a year and shows no signs of returning to his home country.
Conor McGregor Threatens to Buy Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Childhood Home
After hearing that his UFC 229 opponent had nearly a million dollars in property seized, Conor McGregor couldn’t contain his delight. He sent Nurmagomedov a series of DMs threatening to buy his childhood from the Russian government and leave behind a big Irish surprise.
“Brotha, I just put in to buy your family home off government because you can’t afford,” McGregor said in a DM to Khabib. “I plan on [taking a] big smelly Irish sh*t.”
“Brotha, I take big sh*t in your house. Brotha, you abandon from family and now I take your house for sh*t and piss.”
“Brotha, where is the toilet roll?”

McGregor also reposted one X user’s reply to the Nurmagomedov news that simply read, “Meanwhile McGregor” above a video of the former two-division champ cruising around on his speedboat.

Conor McGregor is certainly no stranger to run-ins with the law, but thus far, ‘Mystic Mac’ hasn’t given his government any cause to come at him.
