ALBAWABA - Former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov recently went viral on social media after a video showed him getting kicked off a flight from Las Vegas to Los Angeles due to a heated debate with the flight attendant crew.
As it's difficult to pinpoint the cause of the incident in question, several users on social media claimed that Khabib was seated in the emergency seat but could not adhere to the instructions made by the crew about exit procedures due to the language barrier.
One user added, "Why would they be ‘uncomfortable’ with him sitting in an exit row? Makes no sense." To which someone replied, "The inflatable slide thing for emergencies is on his aisle and they asked him if he understood what it was and he didn’t know so they asked him to move seats, he didn’t, so they kicked him off."
