Amid his ongoing case with the Russian FTS (Federal Tax Service, enforcement proceedings have reportedly been launched against former undisputed UFC lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, to the tune of $900,000.
Nurmagomedov, a former undisputed lightweight champion, retired from mixed martial arts competition back in 2020, following his successful championship unification win over then-interim gold holder, Justin Gaethje with a submission win in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
And linked continually with a return to action in recent years – Khabib Nurmagomedov’s potential comeback to mixed martial arts has only been fueled further by his reported issues with the Russian Federal Tax Services – to which he owes more than $3,400,000.

And per a report from Russian media outlet, MASH, Nurmagomedov has seen enforcement proceedings launched against him to the tune of $900,000 – with a search procedure launched by bailiffs in a bid to seize and subsequently sell property and goods of Nurmagomedov.
“Enforcement proceedings have been initiated against Khabib Nurmagoedov for around $900K,” Championships Rounds posted on X. “The case against Khabib was opened on July 5th. and since that time he has been prohibited from leaving the Russian Federation. Bailiffs have launched a search procedure for this property for subsequent seizure and sale.”
“This includes a family house in Dagestan and his car collection:
Ferrari California T – $300K
Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S – $161K
Mercedez-Benz S Class – $122K
BMW 7 Series – $101K
Toyota Land Cruiser – $85K
Toyota Tacoma – $4K
In total, Khabib owes the Federal Tax Service more than $3.4 million.”
Nurmagomedov hit the headlines earlier this month to boot when the UFC released new, previously unseen footage of his fight with former two-division champion, Conor McGregor back in 2018 – which appeared to show the Russian star spitting on his arch-rival after his submission win, before launching a slew of verbal attacks on him.
