You can call it that but when the fighters themselves don't see it that way, what value is your opinion?

As Joe Rogan pointed out during the mayhem, Khabib is a prideful man, and he didn't take any of that as a joke or showmanship. He took it deadly seriously. S***-talk his family and he'll come after you.

Conor always goes overboard, but he does it to hype the fight, and is ALwAYS humble after the fight.
