The post McGregor slams Khabib’s $4.4M NFT drop as a “Scam” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Conor McGregor’s return to social media lasted for a few hours before he found a familiar target. The former UFC double-champ resurfaced on Wednesday and immediately went after longtime nemesis Khabib Nurmagomedov. However, this time he accused the retired star of running an NFT grift built on Dagestani culture and the legacy of his late father. Last Weekend, Nurmagomedov promoted a new digital project tied to the papakha. It was the traditional headpiece he wore during his undefeated UFC run. The drop reportedly included 29,000 NFTs and generated more than $4.4 million in just a 25-hour window. Then every post tied to the rollout quietly disappeared from his social media platforms without explanation, That disappearance was enough rocket fuel for McGregor. “There is just no way good guy Khabib used his late father’s name, as well as Dagestan’s culture, to scam his fans,” McGregor wrote on X. “Fire selling digital NFTs online and then deleting all the content after they were sold, he added. “what a shame and a stain on his father’s name,” he wrote further. Khabib denies NFT scam He didn’t stop there and stated that “Father’s plan has now become Father’s scam. Very sad.” McGregor’s timing wasn’t accidental, as he recently insisted on preparing for a 2025 comeback. However, recently re-entered the drug-testing pool. The former champ has been teasing a return ever since the UFC confirmed plans for a blockbuster White House event in 2026.  Khabib did respond to the allegations and denied the accusations. He went on to call McGregor “an absolute liar” while defending both the project and his family’s reputation. Sources close to the launch say the NFT collection was framed as a tribute to his late father, Abdulmanap. It was supposed to be a digital keepsake rather than a speculative cash-grab. Source:…
