Ethe legendary Khabib Nurmagomedov (29-0) is having a difficult month. Yes a few days ago Russian special forces ‘visited’ his MMA school to investigate possible links to the terrorist attack that occurred in Dagestan several weeks ago, Now the Russian Government freezes their bank accounts. All after the (now retired) UFC star contracted a tax debt with the authorities of that country.
There is a diversity of opinions on the amounts, but it is clear that there is a problem: according to ‘RT Russian’, citing data from the Federal Tax Service, the debt is 79 million rubles (1 million dollars) as of July 1. But the local Dagestan media outlet, ‘Mash’, claimed that ‘The Eagle’ debt amounted to 297 million rubles ($3.4 million at the exchange rate).
Since retiring suddenly and following the death of his father, the former UFC lightweight champion has embarked on a series of business ventures that include dietary supplements and a chain of restaurants and hotels. Back in May, ‘Mash’ claimed that bank accounts belonging to Khabib’s company ‘Eagle FC’ and a charity fund belonging to Nurmagomedov had been blocked due to a $3 million debt.
According to reports from Russia, The fighter renounced ownership of several companies… but his relatives and close collaborators retained control of some of them. It was through this investigation that certain irregularities were found.
Khabib, by the way, is currently in Germany and Yesterday, for example, he attended the Spain – Georgia round of 16 match. He watched the game in the box with Luis Figo and behind Ceferin.
