Following former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov being escorted off a Frontier Airlines plane recently due to a disagreement with the airline staff over his seating in an exit-row seat, it seems UFC head honcho Dana White has something to say about it.
While appearing in an interview with DraftKings, White expressed amusement at how a millionaire like Khabib would choose to fly Frontier Airlines—an airline infamous for its low customer satisfaction—and also criticized the company for its actions. Given the status and financial health of Khabib, the choice seemed to be a baffling one as far as Dana White was concerned.
The CEO and President of UFC went on a minute-long tirade against Frontier Airlines, stating that Khabib shouldn’t even know what Frontier Airlines is, just as most people don’t. His rant has garnered significant amusement online, leaving fans in stitches.
Hilarious Fan Reactions
Fans were left cackling as the UFC big man went on and on about Frontier Airlines. Let’s take a look at some of their most hilarious reactions.
Fact check
Dana White might need a fact check on Khabib's retirement reasons, as it appears the user is setting the record straight. Khabib doesn’t fight anymore not because he made loads of money but because he promised his mother he would stop fighting after the passing of his father and coach, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov.
Join the club
Frontier Airlines has been facing criticism for years due to its lack of punctuality, rude staff, and low flying comfort. So, as this user points out, it seems everyone who has flown Frontier Airlines has already torn into them. Looks like you’re too late to the party, Dana!
Damage Control
Uh-oh, it seems Dana White is just doing damage control by calling Khabib a millionaire to debunk the criticism and rumors surrounding him, specifically that he doesn’t pay his fighters, according to this user. Busted!
The safest door
The entire disagreement between Khabib and the airline staff was over his seating in an exit-row seat, and considering Frontier Airlines' negative reputation, this user seems hilariously convinced that the exit door was the safest door on the aircraft.
One less fan
If the CEO of Frontier Airlines was ever a fan of the UFC, Dana White’s slamming of the airline may have changed his mind. Looks like UFC fights won’t be airing on TV in that household anymore!
Effective prevention
The best way to avoid flying with Frontier Airlines, you ask? Stay at home, duh! With all the negative reviews and experiences shared online, it seems like this user has found a foolproof way to steer clear of any potential issues while traveling.
Looks like Dana White definitely proved that he’s the CEO of the UFC, alright, because his comments sure packed a punch!
