The star Russian former UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov was removed from the flight to the USA (VIDEO)

It is reported that Khabib took a seat near the emergency exit, and the flight attendant asked him if he was ready to help passengers in an emergency, to which the athlete could not answer.

Then the flight attendant called a supervisor, who said that he could not allow a fighter to sit in the row near the exit. Later, 36-year-old Khabib and his team left the plane.

It will be recalled that the native of Dagestan in October 2020 in his last fight won against Gagey and defended the title of UFC lightweight champion for the third time.

After the fight, Nurmagomedov announced his retirement. The Russian fighter won 29 victories in the UFC without losing a single fight.
