HuffPost
Social media users accused Frontier Airlines of “profiling” the former UFC fighter, who is Muslim.
Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov was escorted off a plane after an on-board dispute with Frontier Airlines.
Footage of the incident, which reportedly took place on a flight leaving Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport on Saturday according to multiple outlets, has been making the rounds on social media.
In clips that surfaced on Sunday, Nurmagomedov, 36, was seen debating with airline staff while sitting in the exit row on the plane headed to Los Angeles. An unidentified airline employee was seen telling the Russia-born mixed martial artist he either had to switch seats or get off the plane.
The airline told Nurmagomedov that the “flight attendants” were not “comfortable” with him “sitting in the exit row.”
“It’s not fair,” Nurmagomedov said, prompting the worker to reply, “It is fair. Yes, it is.”
