UFC Champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, removed from Frontiers Airlines Flight.

UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov recently shared his experience of being removed from a flight in the U.S. due to a disagreement over his seating arrangement. The incident, which gained significant attention online, saw Nurmagomedov seated in the exit row when an airline employee informed him that he needed to either change seats or leave the plane. His account sheds light on the situation, which was captured in a viral video.

In his post, Nurmagomedov clarified that he was flying with Frontier Airlines, contrary to initial reports suggesting Alaska Airlines. He described the airline staff member as being quite rude from the outset, despite his efforts to communicate effectively in English. The confrontation escalated when the employee insisted on his removal, stating that they were uncomfortable with him occupying the exit row.

The exchange highlighted the challenges faced by travelers when dealing with airline policies and staff decisions. Nurmagomedov expressed his frustration, noting that he had confirmed his English proficiency during check-in. Ultimately, the airline staff offered him the choice of switching seats or being escorted off the flight, leading to his rebooking on a different flight altogether.
