How close do you think his people should have been for Artem to be intimidated?
Artem, being from Russia should have known that his words would not just slide. In Russia the is an expression that you have to be able to ”answer for your words”, you have to take responsibility for your words. It is ok to talk shit about someone if you are prepared to say it to that person’s face and be prepared to take the consequences. Here the guy is playing tough, calling Khabib a coward and saying he will b!tchslap Khabib. When Khabib actually gets in his face and confronts him, he shits his pants and swallows his word.
Khabib himself talks a lot of smack and is actually criticised for that and have a lot of haters in Russia (he has more fans obviously) because of the trash talking. But the difference is that Khabib is always prepared to answer for his words.
