Conor McGregor, mired in the “eternal shame of losing,” is offering cash for pushups.

That’s because reports circulating on social media claim longtime nemesis, Khabib Nurmagomedov, has lost access to his bank accounts after Russian tax authorizes seized his assets over unpaid debt — reportedly upward of $3 million.

Not surprisingly, McGregor remains “ecstatic” over Khabib’s financial situation.

The “pushups for cash” remark comes from a controversial video posted back in summer 2018, when Khabib and his cousin were accused of paying a homeless man to do pushups for cash.

McGregor has already been warned to “be careful” with his ongoing tax critique.

Nurmagomedov retired from combat sports back in late 2020 and seemed content to raise sheep (and cell phone towers). No word yet from “The Eagle” — who wiped the floor with McGregor at UFC 229 — but his unverified tax troubles are unlikely to prompt a UFC comeback.

As for the “Notorious” Irishman, he’s expected to make his long-awaited Octagon return after patching up his pinky toe at some point later this year, presumably against fellow TUF 31 coach Michael Chandler.
