Based on AMBCrypto, UFC champions Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov are clashing over Nurmagomedov’s Papakha NFT project, which sold $4.4 million worth of digital collectibles in 25 hours. McGregor accused Khabib of scamming fans by using Dagestani culture and his late father’s name, then deleting promotional content after the sale. Khabib denied the claims, calling McGregor a liar and defending the NFT as a tribute. On-chain investigator ZachXBT later highlighted McGregor’s own 2022 NFT project, which also disappeared after promotion. The dispute highlights growing concerns over celebrity accountability and regulatory scrutiny in the NFT space.
