Former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov explained why he is extremely negative about slaps.

“In our mentality, a slap in the face is not good. It's better to hit him in the face with a fist. Don't slap anyone, that's bad. You cannot slap a man. How can a man be slapped? In America, this may be normal, but for me it is not.

Even if I have such an opportunity, I will never slap a person. This is very disrespectful, ”Khabib said at a meeting with fans in Las Vegas.

It is worth recalling that this conviction did not prevent Nurmagomedov from slapping his compatriot Artem Lobov in 2018.
