Dana White recently sounded off on Frontier Airlines for removing Khabib Nurmagomedov from a flight and slammed them for being incompetent. He also heaped praise on 'The Eagle' by noting that choosing to fly with the airline rather than traveling on a charter shows how humble he still is.

The flight removal was highly publicized as the UFC Hall of Famer expressed his disappointment for how they treated him as a passenger and even accused them of his removal being racially motivated. Frontier Airlines released a statement in response to the backlash they received and mentioned that Nurmagomedov and his team were reimbursed for their tickets as a result of the inconvenience.

During his latest appearance on Pardon My Take, the UFC CEO shared his reaction to finding out 'The Eagle' was traveling on Frontier Airlines. He said:

"What the fu*k is [Nurmagomedov] doing on Frontier Airlines? This kid's got more money than anybody...but that's how humble he is. He's flying on that piece of sh*t airline, you know, what does he expect?...I don't know what you have to do to get kicked off Frontier Airlines, but listen, Khabib doesn't fight anymore cause he's got sh*tloads of money. I gotta teach Khabib how to charter a plane." [1:37:47]

Dana White doubles down on criticism of Frontier Airlines

In addition to attempting to make sense of what resulted in Khabib Nurmagomedov's flight removal, Dana White doubled down on his criticism of Frontier Airlines.

During the aforementioned appearance, White mentioned that Nurmagomedov was in an exit seat, which means he would be among those responsible to assist in case of an emergency and reiterated how wealthy and humble 'The Eagle' is:

"That's how dumb they are in Frontier Airlines. If there's anybody you want in that position, it's Khabib Nurmagomedov. Good job Frontier Airlines...After he won the Conor [McGregor] fight, he went on like, the Muslim world tour...That kid's got more money...Khabib shouldn't even know what the fu*k Frontier Airlines is, just like most people don't." [1:38:40]
