Even tho I was rooting for Dustin There is something uncanny about seeing Dan carried out on a stretcher, the guy has been through some nasty fights man People often forget how brutal these injuries are
yer an Dan after that fight has had a long road back,,, an look at Dustin, still at top of the division.... Dustin is a Legend, the beatings he has taken win or lose,,, hats off to gaethje....
Reminds me of Rory. Like maybe should have let them get some more experience under their belts. Idk hookers age but remember Rory being young going up against monsters that have been through it all
To be honest that fight was so brutal it made me think should MMA fights just be 3 rounds. I honestly wondered if Hooker would ever fight again after it.
It lasted less than a minute. Slightly teasing him is not being a dick. Especially considering he gave him respect right after and told him "keep doing what you're doing"@@oliverpiper1882
Dustin’s one of the few fighters who never needed a belt, Dustin winning a belt, though I’m sure it’s something very important to him, will never change how MMA/UFC fans feel about this dude…
100% bro, you beat Max Holloway to win an 'interim' nobody is considering that any less of an achievement than an undisputed title win. Dustin is goated💯
The more and more Dustin fights the more I fucking love him. Every single fight, win or lose soooo fucking entertaining! He's the people's champ for me
Wouldn't exactly call Dan "the new guy" he'd already been in the UFC for like 6 or 7 years at that point and prob had about 15 fights and fought a bunch of legends like Edson Barboza, Jim Miller, and Paul Felder.
Poirier is my favorite fighter and this was the fight that made me a fan of his. Dan is working his way back up and I would love to see a rematch when the time is right.
That's was a crazy fight especially being in the Apex you could hear the punches, Dan nearly had Dustin at the end of the second round but both guys put on a great fight!
I like Poriers mentality, if he loses he knows he’ll have to take a bigger risk in opponent for the next fight not a safer choice, luckily for him it’s paid off.
Dustin himself said that he was saved by the bell after Dan’s knees at the end of round two (I think). Dan fought like a warrior and showed us his heart. The diamond did so as well, I’m a fan of both.
Dustin is freaking Beast man he always fight the Best with no excuses He fought Prime Connor prime Khabib prime Islam and Charles Olivera and never back down from anyone respect 🫡💪🏾
While most fighters evolve slightly when they get to the show. Dustin is different. He keeps changing his fight game. It just keeps evolving to being better and better. A true warrior mentality to overcome what is stopping you from moving forward. 💯
I have nothing but respect for Dan, but Poirier is a savage. I legit thought Hooker might die when they gurneyed him out into the back of the ambulance
So Hooker was not the new guy, he had been in the UFC for a while like 6 or 7 years before that fight. New guy versus veteran but they are basically the same age 1989 1990. They both have around the same amount of fights. Dustin got 40 and hooker for 36 and that is at this point in time. They both have had 7 fights since.
For the record this fight was a split decision and could have went either way. The confidence Dustin had after the bell shocked me and everyone I watched it with cuz it was definitely close
8:00 it frustrates me so much that people don’t realize that the term, Master Chief, is John’s rank. It’s not a nickname that he was given or something. It’s a real rank in the military. Just how Johnson gets called Sarge. Most of the time you go by your rank in the military and if your lucky by your last name and if your unlucky by a nickname some angry Staff Sarge gave you.
Dustin is no joke never ever underestimate him he always has that sudden knockout power waiting. I dont like Dan but fair play to him for getting up on two feet to shake Dustins hand, after taking a beating that most men would not have been able to get up from.
I'm not fan of Hooker, but they're not showing how hooker beat him in first and second round specially in the end of second round, dustin also bleeded and got bruises
When Dustin said “How bout that Dan” I feel like everyone took it the wrong way. Both guys took some very very bad punishment. I feel like Dustin was congratulating him on a top tier brutal fight
Hooker took a beating. But that was the most competitive fight iv ever seen. Porier was taking nasty combos from hooker in round 2. Not to many fighters would have made it through the 2nd round against either fighter. So while nothing you said is wrong , it’s kinda misleading
Let’s be fair here.. this was one of the greatest fights ever. If Dan gets going just a tick earlier or if the 2nd round extends by just another 5-10 seconds, Dan Hooker stops Dustin Poirier.. the last 45 seconds of that round are by far the most fun 45 seconds of fighting you can watch in any UFC fight ever.. so I guess at the same time you could say for Dustin to come back from the brink at the end of that 2nd round to win the fight does prove what an unstoppable force he is. I hate to see the trajectory Dan’s career has taken since then, & I only hope Dustin leaves the game gracefully & we never have to see him leave unrecognizable.
I like both and didn't care who won that fight. But I remember it was during Covid. And you could hear all them punches they were throwing and landing. Dan took some hard punches that night so did Dustin.
It was a BANGER and in the APEX you heard every single shot land . They went to WAR ya Dustin won but that's what our Dan as one of the gate keepers in the division too
The most brutal and violent fight I ever seen summer 2020 if you seen it all you seen some unbelievable fight I tell you pure violence and heart much respect to Dan and Dustin

Hooker got visibly slower in the octagon after that fight. He surely wasn’t the same fighter after Dustin

He's the Diamond for a reason he's extremely hard to beat in stand up.
100% bro, you beat Max Holloway to win an 'interim' nobody is considering that any less of an achievement than an undisputed title win. Dustin is goated💯
Belt or not porier goes down as one of the all time best. Fought the most elite guys and gave them work
The more and more Dustin fights the more I fucking love him.
Every single fight, win or lose soooo fucking entertaining!
He's the people's champ for me
just realise that Dustin send Dan & Conor in a stretcher,one of the most underrated fighter ever
TECHNICALLY Conor sent his own self on a stretcher. Bro had hairline micro fractures on his leg by a prior injury from training.

Pressure makes the 💎 baby. Dustin has one of the coolest one liners and bad ass battles to back it up.
People don't appreciate the wars Dustin has been in over and over again and he turns up next fight brand new every time the man is an absolute legend
Dustin happens to be my favorite fighter just cause he is a very well rounded and man his boxing is just so slick.
Wouldn't exactly call Dan "the new guy" he'd already been in the UFC for like 6 or 7 years at that point and prob had about 15 fights and fought a bunch of legends like Edson Barboza, Jim Miller, and Paul Felder.
More than 2 years later and getting a title shot again the fucking beast! Respect the man 💪🏼
I remember watching this fight. Probably one of the best fights I’ve ever watched
Poirier is my favorite fighter and this was the fight that made me a fan of his. Dan is working his way back up and I would love to see a rematch when the time is right.
Hooker would get slept this time
Changed Dan's life trajectory 😮
This dogfight was more exciting than khabibs whole career
That's was a crazy fight especially being in the Apex you could hear the punches, Dan nearly had Dustin at the end of the second round but both guys put on a great fight!
Just shows the greatness of Khabib to finish Poirier without a scratch on his face.
Khabib nutriders cant warch a ufc video without commenting his name
Some fighters are above the belt. Dustin is one of them.
Hhmm, i’d say Dustin is ‘past the belt’ instead of/as opposed to above it tbh.
He hasn’t been the same fighter since Dustin.
Absolutely amazing fight!!❤
I like Poriers mentality, if he loses he knows he’ll have to take a bigger risk in opponent for the next fight not a safer choice, luckily for him it’s paid off.
This was a great flight one of my favorites for sure
"HOW ABOUT THAT DAN" 😂
This fight was on my birthday 🙆🏾♂️😳i couldnt believe it was such a banger
Dustin acting like dan didn’t very nearly knock him out and was saved by the end of the round
Dustin took the dub
Dan didn't knock him out though, he emptied the tank too late in rd2 and then Poirier put it in him for the next 3 rounds.
It was back and forth ,only thing is Dustin has heavy hands
@@abhisekbhattarai1583 you clearly didn’t watch the fight if you don’t know what I’m talking about

Mad respect for dustin.
Dustin himself said that he was saved by the bell after Dan’s knees at the end of round two (I think). Dan fought like a warrior and showed us his heart. The diamond did so as well, I’m a fan of both.
Those two mauled each other...
Dustin “only humble in defeat” Poirier
That was war dan you got my respect kuzz
"He almost die there"😂😂😂😂
Oh how much I miss 2020
In fairness, at the end of round 2, Dustin was practically out on his feet.
Yea, but Hooker had taken some huge punches by then, both of these guys have great chin!!
Yes sir Dustin is to be respected
after catching dustin w some crazy combos, Porier just showed him theres levels n beat the bejeezuz out of him
Only time I've ever cheered for Dustin
These 2 are just dawgs
Dan was talking mad shit before the fight, who cares if dustin wants to throw it back in his face a little?
After that Dan went crazy and got all tatted thinking that’s going to give him power like a rice rocket with stickers 😂
Dustin is freaking Beast man he always fight the Best with no excuses
He fought Prime Connor prime Khabib prime Islam and Charles Olivera and never back down from anyone respect 🫡💪🏾
While most fighters evolve slightly when they get to the show. Dustin is different. He keeps changing his fight game. It just keeps evolving to being better and better. A true warrior mentality to overcome what is stopping you from moving forward. 💯
Dustin é um cara muito brabo, sou fã desse cara.
I have nothing but respect for Dan, but Poirier is a savage. I legit thought Hooker might die when they gurneyed him out into the back of the ambulance
There will never be another Dustin poirier. Happy to witness such a career
Dustin is a legend
Dustin is a different breed
So Hooker was not the new guy, he had been in the UFC for a while like 6 or 7 years before that fight. New guy versus veteran but they are basically the same age 1989 1990. They both have around the same amount of fights. Dustin got 40 and hooker for 36 and that is at this point in time. They both have had 7 fights since.

Are we just ignoring the insane combination Hooker landed on Dustin? He had him seeing stars as well
8:00 it frustrates me so much that people don’t realize that the term, Master Chief, is John’s rank. It’s not a nickname that he was given or something. It’s a real rank in the military.

Dan never came back after this Fight..
Great content!
Can we get another one of these for the BSD fight?
That fight still stands out in my mind it was a war
That fight was a war
Hooker isnt the same since he was whipped by Poirer, Chandler, Allen, and Makhachev. Took some abuse... doesn't fight the same.
Don’t forget, Poirier was about five seconds away from getting TKO before the round ended
Istg, 12 years later dustin is STILL gonna be top 10 in LW
Amazing fight what a war
People forget Dustin was about 10 secs away from losing this fight at the end of round 2….absolute war!
Dustin is no joke never ever underestimate him he always has that sudden knockout power waiting. I dont like Dan but fair play to him for getting up on two feet to shake Dustins hand, after taking a beating that most men would not have been able to get up from.
He almost killed Dustin and killed him self doing it
I'm not fan of Hooker, but they're not showing how hooker beat him in first and second round specially in the end of second round, dustin also bleeded and got bruises
Dustin is by far my favourite fighter in the UFC
Poirier had only started to hit his prime in 2020. Dan timed it badly & paid the price
Top five UFC fights ever.
This was the best fight of the year they put a great fight on they need to run it back 2024

It was brutal watching that fight, Dan left a part of himself in that cage that night for sure.
If you’ve never seen this fight go watch it!! You won’t be disappointed if you like watching strikers fight.
If not Khabib and Gaethje, Proper would be the long reigning champ. But it is what it is.
U forget he has a win over Justin they r 1 1 now
They were both in hospital they got put in the same room
Poirier has to be one of, if not the greatest of our generation to have never been the undisputed UFC champion
Islam gonna send Dustin on stretcher 😂
No. Hooker took him to an equally scare ground. He wasn't the harder hitter or better strategist. He just has tardio
This fight was the hardest fight for me to watch...until tony and Justin.
dustin has now done this twice
Dustin is the FN GOAT 🐐
