Totally true. I know most of these guys understand that after the fight is over there will be hugs all around, etc, etc. With Khabib, I wonder if it really wasn't understood culturally, especially with Conor crossing the line insult-wise? 99% of guys know it's an act to sell ticket or hype yourself up. Khabib took it as a legit personal insult.
I won't be paying for this one. I don't like the over the top gamemanship. I liked St. Pierre's approach for some time, but I also like Nate Dias' approach of just not caring. Conor's, at legitimately hate because of the meatheads that tend to holler at each of his events. He has a cult following and each one of them are annoying.
