The Irish star recently took to social media to criticize his former opponent for auctioning NFTs of the Papakha — Nurmagomedov’s traditional head wear — via the social media platform Telegram. Nurmagomedov recently announced that all the Papakha’s had been sold during the auction.

McGregor called the entire process a “scam” in a scathing post on social media.
“There is just no way good guy Khabib used his late fathers name, as well as Dagestan’s culture, to scam his fans and fire sell a bunch of digital NFT’s online and then delete all of the content after they were sold, leaving his fans robbed of their money? There is just no way good guy do this,” McGregor wrote on X.

McGregor went further in his next post, referring to the acution as “Father’s scam.”
What a shame and a stain on his father’s name.
Just wow! To scam fans using his father and his countries culture is just so low.
Father’s plan has now become Father’s scam. 😔 🙏
Very sad.
On the opposite side of this, it was Great to see Islam Mack honour his own father… https://t.co/M23ZoYP42b

That prompted a response from Nurmagomedov, who also seemed to include a sales pitch in his reply.
“You absolute liar,”Nurmagomedov wrote. “You will always try to darken my name, after you got destroyed that night, but you will never achieve that! Yes, good guys don’t do that. They don’t create exclusive digital gifts with real time value, that you can share with your friends and family. Gifts in the shape of Papakha – hat that symbolize traditions and culture of Dagestan people.
“Traditions and culture that slowly walking over this world, whether you like it or not! Gifts that you can find exclusively on Telegram, greatest messaging platform on the world.”
McGregor fired back one last time, demanding that Nurmagomedov apologize for what the Irishman considers to be an online scam.
“Apologize this instant for using your late father’s name to sell these ‘gifts’ that cost your fans so much of their money,” McGregor wrote. “Also to sell something means it is not a gift you low IQ troglodyte! That is the direct opposite of what ‘gift’ means. Duh duh duh dumbass, hahaha. Scamming on your dead daddy’s name. Shame.”

Nurmagomedov and McGregor squared off in the UFC 229 main event in October 2018, when “The Eagle” claimed lightweight gold with a fourth-round submission victory. The bad blood between the two was so intense that Nurmagomedov jumped out of the cage to attack McGregor training partner Dillon Danis after his victory, sparking a melee both in and out of the Octagon. The animosity between the two hasn’t subsided since then, though Nurmagomedov retired in 2020 and McGregor hasn’t fought since 2021.
