Khabib’s $4.4M NFT sale sparks feud as McGregor slams ‘crypto scam’

Conor McGregor, a renowned mixed martial artist, has once again found himself at odds with former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, though their latest conflict has unfolded not within the octagon but in the digital realm of cryptocurrency. This dispute ignited when McGregor accused Khabib of deceiving fans with his “Papakha” NFT project. Named after Khabib's signature headwear, these NFTs (non-fungible tokens) were promoted as digital collectibles tied to the athlete's undefeated legacy in the UFC. The sale of these 29,000 NFTs was reportedly a quick success, raking in over $4.4 million in 25 hours. However, controversy erupted when the promotional posts for the project vanished following the sale's conclusion, an action that drew McGregor's critical gaze and subsequent condemnation.
