Dana White recently shared his thoughts on Khabib Nurmagomedov's removal from a Frontier Airlines flight. The UFC CEO lauded Nurmagomedov's humility for flying on a budget airline despite being wealthy and slammed the company for their actions.

In an interview on the Pardon My Take show, White addressed the incident involving the former UFC champion getting removed from a plane after a verbal fracas with the flight attendant and said:

"What the f*ck is he doing on Frontier Airlines anyway? 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... What do you expect?”

Soon after @ChampRDS shared a clip from the episode on X, fans flocked to the post's comments section to share their thoughts.

Chael Sonnen on Khabib Nurmagomedov being removed from Frontier Airline flight

UFC icon Chael Sonnen also weighed in on Khabib Nurmagomedov's removal from a Las Vegas to San Francesco Frontier Airlines flight. The retired MMA fighter shared a balanced take on the issue and acknowledged that airlines have to follow certain rules regarding the emergency exit seats.

In an Instagram post, 'The American Gangster' revealed that he's had to sit through the emergency-exit rules explanation in the past and said:

"So many people have blamed the airline but defended Khabib because Khabib was being polite. It's a tough one, they call it the emergency row. That person must verbally and physically acknowledge with a 'yes.' I've been in the emergency row enough times to hear this entire speech ... As annoying as it is, a hero like Khabib being removed without him being aggressive doesn't matter, because it is a consistent rule."
