Khabib Nurmagomedov was kicked off a flight over the weekend after disagreeing with airline staff over seating.
The incident, which took place on Saturday’s flight from McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, was captured on video and posted on social media.In the video, you can hear a flight attendant asking Nurmagomedov, who was sitting in the emergency exit row, if he was ready and able. help other passengers in case of emergency.
The flight attendant says: “We can’t let you sit in the exit row… I’m not going to do that. I’m going to call the manager or we can go ahead and escort you off the plane.”
Nurmagomedov is visibly disappointed by the situation and answers. “It’s not fair,” while insisting that he complied with the flight crew’s demands during the check-in. “When I was checking out, they asked me if I knew English… and I said yes. Then why are you guys doing it?”
Despite the UFC legend’s fightback, a controller was brought onto the plane and allegedly gave Nurmagomedov the option to switch seats or take another flight.When no decision was made, Nurmagomedov was removed from the plane.
We’ve reached out to Nurmagomedov and Alaska Airlines…no word back yet.
