Dana White criticises Frontier Airlines on social media

Nurmagomedov recently got into a dispute on a Frontier Airlines plane. 'The Eagle' got into a confrontation with the flight staff over his seat allotment, which led to the Dagestani being removed from the flight.

Nurmagomedov later took to social media to share his side of the story with the public:

"Lady who comes to me with questions was very rude from the beginning, even though I speak very decent English and can understand everything and agreed to assist, she still insists on removing me from my seat. What was the base for that, racial, national or other one, I'm not sure. But after 2 minutes of conversation, she called security and Iwas deplaned from this aircraft."

Dana White not interested in giving Arman Tsarukyan another title shot

Arman Tsarukyan was scheduled to fight Islam Makhachev for the lightweight belt at UFC 311. A day before the event, Tsarukyan withdrew from the fight due to an injury. He was replaced by Renato Moicano, who ended up losing to Makhachev in the first round.

At the UFC 311 post-fight press conference, Dana White was asked whether Tsarukyan would still be next for a title shot. White replied in the negative, saying:

"No, No! He's going back to the drawing board. I don't want anybody to ever fight hurt, ever. We've been in these positions before... And you miss opportunity sometimes and he did. So, we'll see how this plays out for him next year."
