Rapper 50 Cent has offered Khabib Nurmagomedov “$2 million cash tonight” in an apparent bid to lure the Dagestani fighter away from the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and instead fight for rival mixed martial arts promotion Bellator.
Curtis Jackson, whose stage name is 50 Cent, took to social media on Oct. 12 and called the UFC’s treatment of Nurmagomedov following the brawl after UFC 229 “wrong.” He said he would pay the lightweight champion $2 million if he came on board to Bellator, with which Jackson is affiliated.
