I am old school, you show respect to your opponents, you're prize fighting, however the trend in MMA nowadays is shit talking to try to boost public status..... Conor excels in it, everyone else is a cheap knockoff.
I preamble with that because Artem ran around like a little bit throwing personal insults towards Khabib acting like that shit is a game.... He should know better how Russians take that... He acted like a fake ass tough guy and his card got pulled.... Fuck him. Likewise, you go out there insulting people's religion and family, you better be prepared to incur their wrath.... Do I condone the post fight brawl? No.... But I understand why it's done.
Has Khabib done some asshole things? Yes... But no different than the racist douchebag things Colby Covington, or other showboating, bravado fighters have.... I've gone on record here saying how much I can't stand that shit, and how I feel that MMA today lacks a Bushido code.... But fighters today feel like they have to act like that to promote themselves, because idiot fanboys are like "woohoo that's awesome".
I personally find it funny that the American MMA fan base get mad at foreign fighters for acting in this manner (except Conor), but love when a Covington does the same shit
