Khabib Nurmagomedov is facing financial trouble in Russia. According to a social media post, Russian authorities have initiated enforcement proceedings against Khabib for an alleged unpaid tax debt of $3.4 million.

The news has ignited a firestorm of reactions online, with many fans speculating on the potential impact on Khabib's long-standing rivalry with Conor McGregor.

Conor McGregor scoffs at potential BKFC matchup with Khabib Nurmagomedov
In a recent interview at a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) event, Conor McGregor dismissed the possibility of ever facing Khabib Nurmagomedov inside the BKFC ring.
A reporter's question regarding a potential McGregor-Nurmagomedov BKFC matchup elicited a dismissive response from the Irishman. McGregor not only expressed doubt about Nurmagomedov's willingness to fight but also took a jab at the Dagestani's fighting style.
'The Notorious' said:
“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.”
