Former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov kicked off plane after seating dispute

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov was booted from a flight this weekend after a disagreement with airline staff.The incident took place on Saturday on a flight departing from Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas and stemmed from what appeared to be a misunderstanding between Nurmagomedov and the flight attendant over the ex-UFC fighter’s ability to assist the crew in the event of an emergency since he was sitting in an emergency exit row. The nearly two-minute video starts with Nurmagomedov in the middle of a conversation with the airline staff as he tells them that “he knows how to help people.”At one point in the video, the staffer could be heard telling Nurmagomedov: “We cannot allow you to sit in the exit row.” “I am not going to do this back and forth.I’ll go call a supervisor.
