Khabib Nurmagomedov on Being Removed from an Airplane

Former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has described the behavior of a flight attendant, who requested him to change his seat on an airplane flying to the US, as provocative. According to Nurmagomedov, the flight attendant was rude to him from the very beginning, but he attempted to remain composed and not to engage in any conflict.

“Despite the fact that I speak English well and understand everything, she insisted that I be removed from my seat. I can't say for sure whether it was due to racial, national, or some other reason,” the fighter wrote on social media.

It is worth noting that Khabib Nurmagomedov, the former UFC lightweight champion, was removed from an American Airlines flight headed to the US.
