MMA Fighting<\/a>. \u201cBut this whole thing of \u2018I\u2019m going to shoot him\u2019 and all that, I think that\u2019s just nonsense. Nobody is going to take things to that level. It doesn\u2019t make sense. This whole trash talk thing is something that\u2019s accepted now, it\u2019s normal, so everyone is going to use whatever they can to try to destabilize the other person. Even if they talk about things that, from my point of view, in my humble opinion, I wouldn\u2019t do. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a man\u2019s move when you bring up family, kids, you know? But if that\u2019s what\u2019s available, then everyone\u2019s going to use it.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cMy role is simply to talk to my athlete and make sure he doesn\u2019t let this affect him mentally or psychologically because that area needs to be very well protected,\u201d Nascimento said. \u201cWe know the responsibility we have. That\u2019s my job. And Khamzat Chimaev is much more mature now. Certain things we used to have to deal with before don\u2019t happen anymore.
