Frontier Airlines has issued a statement after a video of UFC icon Khabib Nurmagomedov being removed from a recent flight went viral.
On Saturday, Nurmagomedov was scheduled to travel from Las Vegas to California where Saturday’s UFC pay-per-view event is scheduled to be held. However, his flight plans were held up after an airline attendant forced him off the plane. According to reports, Nurmagomedov was sitting in an emergency exit row and was repeatedly asked if he would be able and willing to assist in the event of an emergency.
After a brief verbal fracas, Nurmagomedov was removed from the plane, but not before another passenger caught some of the incident on video.
