'I did my best to stay calm and respectful': Khabib Nurmagomedov clarifies after ex-UFC champion was removed from plane

Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov was removed from a Frontier Airlines flight at Las Vegas' Harry Reid International Airport following a dispute with airline staff over his seating in an exit row. A video of the incident, which has since gone viral on social media, shows the retired fighter defending his actions and questioning the airline's decision.

Sharing his account on X, Nurmagomedov clarified, "First of all, I need to clarify that it was @FlyFrontier, not AlaskaAir. Lady who comes to me with questions was very rude from the very beginning, even though I speak very decent English and can understand everything and agreed to assist, she still insists on removing me from my seat."
