Frontier Airlines rejects the notion that UFC Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov was removed from a flight for any reason other than not being compliant with Federal Aviation Administration requirements. Nurmagomedov confirmed Sunday that he was escorted off a Frontier Airlines flight after video of the incident went viral on social media. In an Instagram post, Nurmagomedov said the incident was related to his English fluency, which is an FAA requirement for passengers sitting in exit rows on flights that depart from the U.S. For his part, Nurmagomedov said the flight attendant who first approached him “was very rude from the very beginning.” He went on to write, “Even though I speak very decent English and can understand everything and agreed to assist, she still insists on removing me from my seat
