Media reported about Khabib Nurmagomedov's removal from a flight to the United States

Former UFC champion and Russian fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov was asked to leave a plane in the United States after he had a dispute with a flight attendant. This is reported on January 12 edition of Essentially Sports.

It is noted that in social networks spread a video, from which it follows that in the cabin Nurmagomedov took a seat near the emergency exit. The stewardess clarified from the famous passenger whether he would be able to help others if there was an emergency.

The sportsman did not immediately understand what he was being asked. Then the flight attendant asked Nurmagomedov to move to another seat, threatening to call a supervisor, notes "Gazeta.Ru". However, he refused, noting that this requirement is unfair. After that he was asked to leave the plane altogether. Together with him, his comrades who accompanied the former champion decided to leave the cabin.

The fighter added that he fully complied with the requirements of the flight crew throughout the landing process. In addition, during registration, he was asked whether he speaks English, to which he answered in the affirmative.
