Dana White is reacting to the Frontier Airlines-Khabib Nurmagomedov controversy. Earlier this week, a video showing Nurmagomedov being escorted off a Frontier Airlines flight went viral on social media.
According to the former UFC champion, he was unfairly kicked off the plane after he insisted that he had told the flight attendant that he was willing to help other passengers if needed because he was seated in an exit row.

Frontier contends that Nurmagomedov did not initially respond when asked if he could help other passengers while sitting in the exit row.

“On Jan. 11, 2025, as flight 4401 from Las Vegas to San Francisco was preparing for departure, a flight attendant initiated the customary briefing for exit row passengers,” Frontier Airlines wrote in a statement published by MMA Fighting. “Customer Khabib Nurmagomedov, who was seated in an exit row, was asked multiple times if he was willing and able to assist in the event of an emergency. According to the flight attendant, Mr. Nurmagomedov did not respond, despite repeated attempts, which placed him in non-compliance with FAA requirements. The flight attendant informed Mr. Nurmagomedov that he could be moved to a different upgraded seat or exit the plane.
“Videos circulating on social media platforms do not capture this interaction, and instead show a subsequent interaction after a gate agent entered the plane and reiterated the option to be reseated. As a result of the customer’s initial unresponsiveness and repeated declinations of a seat change, he was asked to deplane per airline and FAA policy. The decision to deplane the customer was in no way related to his ethnicity and we have refunded him and his traveling companions for their flights.”
On a recent appearance of Pardon My Take, White reacted to Nurmagomedov getting kicked off the Frontier Airlines flight.
“Khabib doesn’t fight anymore because he has sh–load of money, I have to teach Khabib how to charter a plane”
“He’s got more money than anybody, that’s how humble he is. He’s flying on that piece of sh– airline.”
“Khabib shouldn’t know what the f— Frontier airlines is like most people don’t”
Dana White goes OFF on Frontier Airlines, but also doesn’t know why Khabib was flying Frontier in the first place
“[Khabib’s] got more money than anybody, that’s how humble he is. He’s flying on that piece of sh*t airline.”
