Getting on the wrong side of UFC CEO Dana White never seems like a good idea; Even airlines are not banned for his scathing criticism.
It's been a fortnight since Khabib Nurmagomedov was kicked off a Frontier Airlines flight over an exit altercation, and White is still busy criticizing the company.
The news spread as many fans thought the incident revolved around Nurmagomedov's legacy. UFC lightweight contender Michael Chandler implied discrimination and proposed a new procedure for the exit chair.
In his statement, Nurmagomedov maintained a neutral position, and Frontier Airlines denied any responsibility in their announcement. However, this doesn't matter as the Wall Street Journal has them ranked as the worst airline in 2024, and White thinks Nurmagomedov will agree.

Dana White slams Frontier Airlines for being rated the worst airline by the Wall Street Journal
In an Instagram story on January 22, White shared the Wall Street Journal article with a caption suggesting Nurmagomedov would agree that they are the worst airline of 2024.
“Wall Street Journal says Frontier is the worst airline, Khabib Nurmagomedov agrees,” White wrote.

Khabib Nurmagomedov won't retire after stressful aviation incident and rocky UFC 311
Although White will not leave Frontier alone, Nurmagomedov has business to attend to.
'The Eagle' cornered three fighters at UFC 311: Islam Makhachev, Umar Nurmagomedov and Tagir Ulanbekov. Makhachev defended his title against Renato Moicano, while Merab Dvalishvili handed Umar his first defeat, and Ulanbekov defended his position in the preliminaries.
Nurmagomedov is already on to his “next goal,” which is assisting his cousin, Usman Nurmagomedov, in defending his Bellator Lightweight Championship against Paul Hughes on January 25.
It's safe to say that Team Khabib has had a hectic start to the year.
