Footage of Khabib Nurmagomedov being kicked off of flight sparks wild reactions from fans: "Conor is typing"

Khabib Nurmagomedov was removed from an aeroplane whilst traveling in the United States. It's unclear where exactly the incident took place, but 'The Eagle' is in the country to help corner Islam Makhachev at UFC 311 on Jan. 18, which takes place in Los Angeles.

Footage of Nurmagomedov sharing a lengthy discussion with a flight attendant has gone viral online. The former UFC champion was seated in the emergency exit row of the aircraft, and it appeared that an air hostess was not satisfied with his level of English speaking, should he need to assist staff on-flight in case of an emergency.

This prompted staff to ask him to move seats or be removed from the flight. The now-viral footage has drawn a number of reactions from fans, with some taking pity on the 36-year-old, while others choosing to poke fun instead.

A video of the incident involving Nurmagomedov was uploaded to X by @combat_casuals, where the former fighter can be heard saying:

"I know the language, I know English. I know how to help people and now you guys, because of this women, don't trust me [at all]."

Khabib Nurmagomedov breaks down Merab Dvalishvili vs. Umar Nurmagomedov

UFC 311 will be a busy night for Khabib Nurmagomedov, who will feature in both Umar Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev's corner. 'Young Eagle' will face Merab Dvalishvili in the co-main event for the bantamweight title before Makhachev clashes with Arman Tsarukyan in the main event for the lightweight belt.

In the recently released UFC 311 Countdown video, 'The Eagle' can be seen breaking down the 135-pound title fight. The former champion believes that both fighters hold advantages over the other, and said:

"Merab, he is a very good fighter... [Dvalishvili] has got championship heart. But the striking game, Umar kicks much better, his distance [s better]. Merab is a the better freestyle wrestler, and Merab is better than him on pressure... But when we see how [Umar] mixes it up, like mixed martial arts, he’s one of the best right now in the world... It’s gonna be a very high-level fight."
