Dana White is baffled as to why Khabib Nurmagomedov flew Frontier Airlines
In an interesting turn of events, Khabib Nurmagomedov was removed from a Frontier Airlines flight because he would not move from his exit seat when the crew wondered if he could help if an emergency arose.
The video spread like wildfire across the internet. But while many were mostly puzzled as to why this decision was made, Dana White was more baffled as to why the Dagestani chose the airline in the first place.
On an episode of Pardon My Take, the 55-year-old said: “What the hell is he doing at Frontier Airlines? This guy has more money than anyone, but that's how humble he is, he flies with that piece of shitty airline. What do you expect?”
That said, the host then asked what on earth someone has to do to get removed from a Frontier flight.

White chuckled, “Exactly. I don't know what you have to do to get kicked off Frontier Airlines. Listen, Khabib doesn't fight anymore because he has a lot of money. I have to teach Khabib how to charter a plane.”
The UFC CEO then claimed that the employee who called for his dismissal had made a big mistake.
White insisted: “That's how stupid they are at Frontier Airlines. If there's anyone you want in that position, it's Khabib Nurmagomedov.”

The concept of getting an athlete like Nurmagomedov off a plane is certainly intriguing, especially, as White suggested, he would likely be the ideal person to handle an emergency.
After all, he may be the greatest lightweight to ever grace the octagon.
He's not the only man vying for the throne, however, with an MMA legend throwing another icon of the game into the mix.
