Khabib Was Kicked Off A Plane Last Night Due To A Misunderstanding About The Emergency Exit Row
Khabib Nurmagomedov was kicked off a flight yesterday due to an alleged misunderstanding about the emergency exit row duties - AKA the part where the flight attendant needs a verbal "yes" from you when she asks if you'd be willing to assist in case of an emergency. According to this person's account of the whole exchange....
....Khabib apparently didn't understand what was being asked of him for a bit before "reluctantly" giving a yes, which led to the flight attendant wanting him to swap seats with another passenger. Khabib argued back, as seen in the video we DID get (likely in defense of the superb extra leg room the exit row gives you), and eventually got escorted off the plane.
Honestly, it's a shame - not only because of the huge headache this has now caused for everybody involved - but because Khabib Nurmagomedov might be the most qualified person to ever sit in that Alaska Airlines emergency exit row seat. If there was EVER an something that happened that god forbid required that door to come off, Khabib is smeshing it like the Incredible fucking Hulk in .2 seconds. He probably doesn't even need the instructions, or the little lever to make it unlock. He'll just destroy it. If that flight attendant saw even one fight in his UFC career she would know that. Now it's a big story on TMZ, Khabib fans are gonna absolutely hate her guts and likely send her death threats and horrible messages for years, and Khabib was late to UFC 311 fight week - arguably the most important few days of Islam Makhachev's career. What a mess. But also does Khabib not know the drill by now? Was that his first time sitting in an exit row seat? Just say yes and put your headphones back on.
Conor McGregor must be in heaven. Oh, speaking of Conor - he played soccer (it's soccer here in 'merica, get over it) in Ireland this week and unfortunately is getting clowned for shooting takedowns on his opponents/hitting them with vicious body kicks and tripping up the second he got the ball....
Sad times for the former Champ Champ. Dana might institute a no soccer clause in all contracts moving forward. He definitely saw McGregor's ACL tear flashing before his eyes there. Who knows if he'll ever come back, though - he's still talking about a boxing match in India right now.
P.S. Why is the UFC flying Khabib in via Alaska Airlines? No offense to the UFC (or Alaska Airlines, I don't mean to hit them with a ricochet here), I'm all about saving a buck - but c'mon now. Khabib is a Hall of Famer. Fly him in Delta or United or something!
