Islam Makhachev joked about Khabib Nurmagomedov's scandal on the plane

UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev joked about Khabib Nurmgaomedov, recalling the incident on the plane.

"This is how we flew to Dagestan. And no one kicked us out of the plane," Islam wrote on his social media page.

This comment was a reference to a famous incident that had occurred earlier, when a Frontier Airlines employee asked Nurmagomedov, who was sitting next to an emergency exit, to confirm his ability to provide assistance in an emergency. After a brief confusion caused by the staff's questions, the flight attendant offered Khabib a change of seat. However, he categorically refused, and the situation escalated into a conflict, ending with Nurmagomedov voluntarily leaving the plane, receiving a refund of the cost of the ticket from the airline representatives.

Makhachev's joke was a continuation of a series of comments surrounding the incident involving the former UFC champion.
