Conor McGregor accuses Khabib Nurmagomedov of scamming fans with $4.4 million NFT sale
Summary
UFC star Conor McGregor publicly accused his rival, Khabib Nurmagomedov, of running a scam following the sale of papakha-inspired NFTs, which reportedly generated about $4.4 million. McGregor claimed Nurmagomedov used his late father's name and Dagestani culture to take money from fans and then deleted promotional posts, calling it a "stain" on his father's legacy. Nurmagomedov vehemently denied the accusations, labeling McGregor an "absolute liar" and asserting the NFTs were legitimate "digital gifts" celebrating Dagestani tradition. The rivalry reignited over this digital asset controversy, though McGregor himself has a history with failed crypto ventures, including a meme token presale that required refunds.
