Members of Team Khabib, known for⁤ their discipline and respect, might perceive some of Merab’s remarks as crossing⁤ a boundary that compromises the spirit of martial arts. The question lies in whether these taunts ​carry real ⁣provocations or are merely strategic ​talk meant to unsettle opponents.
