Here's how you can get a rare Khabib Nurmagomedov NFT card and meet The Eagle himself
Khabib Nurmagomedov has something special for his fans as the 'Eagle' has launched his own NFT cards while also giving them a chance to meet him personally. The former UFC lightweight champion recently introduced the Diamond NFT card, which is up for auction now.
What separates the Diamond NFT from its Gold and Platinum counterparts is the fact that it comes with a personal meeting with Khabib Nurmagomedov. The auction page describes the Diamond NFT as the following:
"The unique Diamond card will only be limited to one copy. The card buyer will have the opportunity to personally meet Khabib, and will also receive other gifts from him, which will be announced at a later date before the auction starts."
Another factor that differentiates the Diamond NFT from the other Khabib NFT cards is the fact that it can only be procured by particpating in the auction, as opposed to the others, which can be ordered through retail stores online.
The card went up for auction today on a website called OpenSea, which describes itself as the largest digital marketplace for crypto collectibles and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The auction is scheduled to go on till April 29th and has a minimum bid of $ 11,116.75.
