Khabib Nurmagomedov was recently involved in a plane incident that led to him being removed from the flight. Despite his reputation as one of the greatest in mixed martial arts, he found himself in a dispute with the flight staff.
Due to a misunderstanding, Khabib was asked to move to a different seat that was not his own, leading to a confrontation with the flight attendant. Ultimately, he was escorted off the plane along with his friend after a supervisor was called to handle the situation.
