Makhachev spoke about his attitude towards trash talk

Islam Makhachev, UFC lightweight champion, spoke about how he feels about trash talk. He noted that he recognizes this phenomenon, but only in moderation, without affecting male honor and dignity.

“I’m always for trash talking, but in moderation! Just without hurting masculine qualities and dignity. There’s no problem with that—it’s part of the business. This is a show! People should be interested. And the UFC doesn’t need fighters who trash everyone and remain silent. For example, they don’t know English,” said the fighter.
