SEAToday.com, Las Vegas - Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov is in the spotlight after a video of him being kicked off a Frontier Airlines plane went viral on social media. The incident occurred while he was traveling from Las Vegas to San Francisco, United States, on Sunday (1/12).

Through his X account @teamkhabib, the fighter from Dagestan, Russia, confirmed that the incident began when he was approached by a flight attendant who asked rude questions from the start of the conversation.

Despite speaking in decent English and agreed to assist, the flight attendant insisted on moving Khabib from his seat next to the emergency exit. After two minutes of conversation, the flight attendant called security and asked for Khabib to be removed from the plane.

"What was the base for that, racial, national or other one, I'm not sure", according to the post.

The airline is now investigating the issue.
