I can accept this kind of stuff when it's an act. I used to be stupid and think he was real but after I opened my eyes I could see he was just a character the whole time. Same with Covington. Some other guys trying to trash talk though make it cringe and take it seriously. These days I miss the talk Chael had because it was funny. The post-Conor period of everybody forcing confrontation at press conferences was embarrassing.
Chael's trash talk and character work was next level, especially for MMA.
Dude was a full blown heel but he was still likeable. Lots of these other MMA fighters don't know how to pull that off. Colby tried but failed pretty badly at it lol.
