In Tyumen, MMA fighter Khayal Iskanderov acquired a Volkswagen Passat B6 from Nikita Purtov, who runs a private clinic, and later sold the car without arranging payment first. This sequence of events was reported by Ura.ru. The incident centers on a proposed sale in which Iskanderov expressed an interest in purchasing the vehicle but claimed he lacked the funds at the time. He asked for a delay, and Purtov, who had agreed to the arrangement, lent his trust to a tentative handshake that involved the transfer of the car and its accompanying documents. Yet the cash was not delivered within the agreed window, and it subsequently emerged that the car had been resold to another party, and it is now located in Sverdlovsk region.
The dispute arises from a claimed payment of 750,000 rubles that was never completed. There was no formal purchase-and-sale agreement signed between the two parties, which complicated resolution efforts. The lawyer representing Purtov stated that attempts to settle the matter amicably did not succeed. When the police were contacted, officers chose not to file a lawsuit, a decision that was later challenged by the lawyer. Purtov is said to be genuinely concerned about his personal safety amid the ongoing dispute.
Separately, the enforcement system has moved against former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in connection with a 79.4 million ruble debt. Reports indicate that a formal case was opened on July 5, and Nurmagomedov has been barred from leaving the country while enforcement actions proceed. Bailiffs have initiated procedures to locate and potentially seize and sell assets, including several high-value vehicles such as a Ferrari California T valued around $300,000, a Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, a BMW 7 Series, a Toyota Land Cruiser, and a Toyota Tacoma. The measures reflect a broader enforcement effort tied to the debt.
In related news, there have been other developments involving individuals connected to the sports and entertainment world, with reports noting ongoing financial and legal pressures across different jurisdictions. Observers emphasize the importance of clear documentation in vehicle transactions and the potential consequences when formal agreements are absent. The case involving Iskanderov and the broader enforcement activities both illustrate how informal handshakes in high-stakes deals can lead to long, costly disputes that stretch beyond local borders. They underscore the need for due diligence, written contracts, and adherence to legal processes to protect all parties involved.
