Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov shares the latest update regarding his NFT collection

UFC star Khabib Nurmagomedov became one of the most popular sportspersons to jump onto the NFT hype-train back in late March.

The Russian’s NFTs, which are unique digital tokens, were a hit amongst his fans to an extent that even he did not see coming.

And now, he has shared a new update regarding the sale of these Non-Fungible Tokens on his Instagram. The post mentions that the deadline of the NFT sale has been extended from April 29th to May 29th to the time taken in processing orders.

Nurmagomedov also mentioned that almost half of the NFT stock has already been sold. In total, 320 cards were released with just one ultra-rare Platinum token.

But, Khabib also had some bad news for his fans in the United States of America who wanted to purchase the NFTs.
