It is secure to say we all know which airline Khabib Nurmagomedov will not be flying with sooner or later.
After video of the previous UFC light-weight champion being faraway from a Frontier Airways airplane went viral early Sunday morning, he made an announcement on his social media in regards to the incident.
“Woman who involves me with questions was very impolite from the very starting, although I communicate very first rate English and may perceive the whole lot, and agreed to help,” Nurmagomedov defined.
The preliminary dispute appeared to stem from the UFC legend being seated subsequent to the emergency exit and Frontier flight attendants not believing he was appropriate to take action after asking if he was prepared to help if there have been an emergency.
Within the viral video, a crew member could be heard explaining to Murmagomedov that he was being requested to change his seat “as a result of my flight attendants aren’t permitting you to sit down within the exit row … as a result of they are not comfy with you sitting within the emergency exit row.”
The Frontier crew member is then heard giving Nurmagomedov two choices, both change seats or be faraway from the plane and the previous champ opted for the latter. Shortly after their dialog, he was escorted off the aircraft with out additional incident.
The 36-year-old retired fighter wasn’t prepared to simply accept the crew member’s reasoning for switching seats on the time and made that clear when addressing the matter on-line.
“What was the bottom for that? Racial, nationwide or different one, I’m undecided,” Nurmagomedov continued. “However after 2 minutes of dialog, she known as safety and I used to be deplaned from this plane.”
The Corridor of Famer was on a flight from Las Vegas heading to Los Angeles, presumably to prepare UFC 311 subsequent week. The Dagestani is now a coach and is about to be octagon-side for fellow countryman and present light-weight champion Islam Makhachev and cousin Umar Nurmagomedov who headline the primary and co-main occasions of that card.
“I did my greatest to remain calm and respectful as you’ll be able to see on the video. However these crew members may do higher subsequent time and simply be good with purchasers.”
Nurmagomedov talked about in his assertion that he boarded one other flight a few hours later and finally arrived at his vacation spot.
No official assertion on the matter has been made by the airline at the moment.
