The entire UFC realm has been angered after witnessing Khabib Nurmagomedov get harassed on his recent flight. Boarding the Frontier Airlines, a flight attendant asked the UFC legend to switch his seat from the emergency exit. On refusing to do so, Nurmagomedov was forced to get out of the plane. Now, his former manager, Ali Abdelaziz has shed some light on why Nurmagomedov booked the flight with Frontier Airlines.
According to a recent update, Abdelaziz spoke with ’TMZ Sports’. He stated that one of his friends had already booked the flight and thus, the former UFC champion did not want to disappoint his friend. Thus, instead of taking a different airline, the undefeated UFC legend decided to fly with Frontier Airlines.
Lashing out at the company, Abdelaziz stated, “This is a s**t airline… “I think these people need to apologize. I think he deserves an apology. It’s not like he needs one, but I think these people need to apologize to him.”
Meanwhile, Ali Abdelaziz was not the only one to get mad at the airlines. Joe Rogan too, expressed his frustrations on the matter.
