Joe Rogan Weighs in on the Episode

On a recent episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience" the longtime UFC color commentator said he wonders what would’ve happened had the flight attendant knew who Khabib Nurmagomedov was.

“He was calm and respectful, he obviously speaks English and he said, ‘Yeah, I’ll assist. I’ll open the door.’ Wouldn’t you love to be on that flight going, ‘Ma’am, do you know who that is? Let me tell you who that is, let me Google him real quick.’ Jesus Christ.”

Rogan then quipped that if the incident happened in Dagestan, there would’ve been a world of problems for the Frontier Airlines worker, as Khabib is an idolised figure there.

“Imagine if she did that in Dagestan? They’d throw her in a hole,” Rogan said.

Khabib Eventually Reached and will be in the corner of Usman and Islam at UFC 311

Nurmagomedov took the flight to reach California to support Umar Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev for their title fights, which are scheduled to take place at UFC 311. The drama cut his journey short, but he indeed reached the state later. Umar will take on Merab Dvalishveili for the Bantamweight title, whereas Islam could make history at the event by setting the record for the most successful UFC Lightweight title defenses.
