Khabib Nurmagomedov Removed From His Flight(Video)

Social media has been buzzing with the news that Khabib Nurmagomedov was removed from a Frontier Airlines flight.

Check out the video and Khabib’s response below.

Khabib Removed From His Flight

This weekend, UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov was removed from a flight after a dispute with crew members. From the video of the event, the dispute was apparently, because the crew was uncomfortable with Khabib’s presence on the flight.

Nurmagomedov: Who isn’t comfortable?

Attendant: My flight attendants.

Nurmagomedov: It’s not fair.

Attendant: It is fair.

Nurmagomedov: It’s not fair. You guys, when I checked in, they asked me, do I know English? Yes, I said.

Attendant: They said yes, I understand that, but it’s also off of their judgment. I’m not going to do this back and forth. I will call a supervisor. You can either take a different seat or we can go ahead and escort you off the plane.

Nurmagomedov: It’s not fair.

Attendant: Which one are we doing?

After this comment, Nurmagomedov had enough and left the plane.

Khabib’s Response

After the video went viral, Khabib made an Instagram post explaining the situation. He claims the staff was very rude and unfair to him and his team.

“First of all, I need to clarify that it was Frontier Air, not Alaska Air.

Lady who comes to me with questions was very rude from the very beginning, even though I speak very decent English and can understand everything and agreed to assist, she still insists on removing me from my seat. What was the base for that, racial, national or other one, I’m not sure.

But after two minutes of conversation, she called security and I was deplaned from the aircraft, after 1.5 hours I left on another flight to my destination.

I did my best to stay calm and respectful as you can see on the video.

But those crew members could do better next time and be nice to clients.”-Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Apology From Frontier Incoming?

Apparently, this Frontier Airlines crew lives under a rock and doesn’t know who Khabib Nurmagomedov is. From the video, they handled the situation poorly and will likely get backlash from the incident.

The airline has yet to comment on the situation and Khabib will likely not be leaving a great review.
