- UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier speaks with ESPN MMA’s Brett Okamoto about getting acclimated to the weather in Abu Dhabi ahead of his title unification bout vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 242. “The Diamond” says he’s not focusing on the man, but the style of his opponent and that his experience is making him confident ahead of Saturday. (4:40) Poirier describes his long road to UFC gold and the fight where he felt the furthest away from his goal.

“If I don’t take advice from you, I don’t take criticism from you”- Dustin Poirier
Damn what a quote
it sounded pragmatic to me too.
Makes a little sense, but reminds me of Rhonda who didn’t accept all the criticism from random people clearly telling her what was best leaving Edmond...She just kept getting bad advice from those around her.
I thought I was the first to comment lol
LegacyEvoAce Don’t you dare fucking compare Ronda to Dustin Poirier. Moron.
@@NeedMoreJuice. why not? look at accomplishments ronda rousey is a legend in comparison to dustin dont compare dustin to ronda how about that. a 5 time world champ second biggest name in mma.
Poirier is a really decent guy. The charity he set up with his wife and the work they both do to help those less fortunate is testament to his character. Huge respect. Good luck this weekend.
@salamango81 it not a competition, they both doing good for others that's what counts.
@salamango81 such an ignorant comment
Yes sir! That alone puts me in his corner. Helping woman and children is very admirable and the fact that he seems to just stay true to himself and not let the game get to his head. Let's go poirier!
@salamango81 I love khabib but dam man. What is your problem.
salamango81 Dickehead it’s not a competition
Huge respect for Poirier. What a nice disciplined man.
OK. But 28 0

How huge why not tiny 🤔🤔
@@rorybray7356
Sadat says ha is continuously calling us ( muslims) enemy territory .. so fuck dustin for thinking like this ..
As a Khabib fan I wish Poirier good luck. He is a good sportsman, modest and good role model for younger generations in sports.
Fighters should learn from Dustin..and I don't mean fighting!Great comment Levanyashin.
@mohamed aref khabib is padded record
@Epoch plus5 been a fan since the micheal johnson fight, not everyone became a fan after the mcgregor fight. Plenty of people started following him before he was champ.
@@4LP3E My foot was a balooon, stfu lol
Epoch plus5 boring yes, until he starts smashing down his oponent from above, then all the waiting pays off. Piece to you!
Everyone has skills to beat khabib, until they face khabib inside octagon
Kevin Lee sees holes in Khabib's game
True!!!!
Only one can beat Khabib: the Time!!!
FF
Both Khabib and Poirier are great guys! Happy to see the respect between them.
mr gwanson ok incel
Rezo D how does your response make any sense whatsoever? Also when colby class people soyboy and says that kinda stuff iys cause he can back it up. Who the fuck are you again?
mr gwanson say it to his face
Rezo D Ahahha I see you have nothing left to say😂😂😂 dude that’s so pathetic. Try to be a tough guy and ya end up liking like a fool. God with how sad you are you won’t be anyone’s daddy😂
sss when you finished with the insults go back to your 9 to 5 job with 8 dollar per hour while the misogynistic guy gets millions of your stupidity.
Congratulations to you & your wife's 10yr anniversary! Dustin #1 dude
Douchebag whiteboy calling somone dude how typical
@@bart4543 Alvarez? doesn't sound very white to me. Sounds like you just hate white people and are looking for every opportunity to express that. Inferiority complex is real.
David David hahaha you made him shut the fuck up
@James Dean 😆
@@bart4543 - Reads 100% respectful, positive comment
- Gets upset because Dustin is white
- Starts spewing some nonsensical bullshit about "douchebag" white boys to the guy who was 100% nice and respectful
- The guys last name is Alvarez, I'm not too convinced he is a white guy
- You're the douchebag here, douchebag
I am a Khabib fan, but i like Poirier too. Good luck man, best man wins!
“I am standing next to...” - both sitting
Mr. A lol
Lol
I’m high and this was hella funny
He gave it his all, but Khabib is just too much
Jordan Flynn too much grappling i like to see him in a boxing match
more people loves khabib after conor's fight,now more people loves dustin before fighting khabib
You'll right
@kurа borisovna you’re *
The White Walker lol because being humble and a killer is what people like.
It's red towel night when you fight khabib
The White Walker you mean more Conor fans like Dustin now. 😂😂
I hope he wins, he seems like one of the best people in the fight game
He going to Lose that's like Michael Jordan missing a shot in the Clutch!!!! #Khabib2xChampion
king Web I meannn Michael Jordan didn’t hit EVERY shot in the clutch sooo... kind of a bad analogy lol. Go Dustin.
@@kingweb581 its MMA anyone can win on the night shut the fuck up and go give advice on growing ant farms or some shit.
He's a nice dude now. He used to be arrogant/cocky. Look at him vs MJ staredown.
@@brucewayne7203 he wasn't cocky in that fight; they genuinely didn't like each other, and Dustin never fought well in the past when he got emotional (Conor, MJ, etc.).
"if I wouldn't take advice from you, I won't take criticism from you.." -Dustin Poirier
I fucking love it
Kevin Kowalczik that is a great philosophy.
Thats great and all but he still got smashed
Man whoether losses I will feel bad is hard to hate any of them
Why do you feel the need to hate one of them. It's just a competition, there doesn't have to be a bad guy for a fight to be good.
Diamonds are meant to shine ....let's shock the world
Tom Tom
Not this time...
@M Harish nah khabib got this he's 27-0 he will soon retire undefeated
@@travisk6221 yep
@@travisk6221
....if he beats Dustin then Tony I would agree with you but that is a big IF.
M Harish khabib worked harder. Shows in the record. Remember khabib is driven and has faith through his religion. He has no concept of greed or vanity. He’s doing this based on purpose. You could be rocky and it makes 0 difference. Only someone like khabib can best khabib. No western fighter is capable.
I love ❤️ khabib but respect Dustin Poirier he is cool guy ♥️
LETS GO PORIER !!!
All out war Saturday mark my words
I'm come here for smesh this guy
I think people should stop saying "mark my word" because it never pans out for anyone who says that lol same thing got said every single day leading to the Conor fight and what happened? Don't go into hiding if you're wrong though dude 😂

@@banabak6732 with the face
Incredible guy. His personality's come on leaps and bounds.
Dustin is a good guy, but Khabib just showed what a lifetime of skill building looks like, as he always does.
Poirier
We are all rooting for you
Would be nuts if he pulled off the upset
only to get starched by Conor in a rematch lol
If Dustin can stuff Khabib's take down attempts it's a boxing match. I think we know who the most likely winner of that match up would be.
No it wouldnt. It sucks this fanbase is so unfamiliar with MMA. Nobody that khabib fought was this well rounded
Able to box and grapple for 5 straight rounds. Dustin is gonna beat khabib
@@ULTIMARAGNAR0K Salon Quality Poirier TKO's McGregor in the first.
robertg305 I think he may
Dustin is such a great fighter and human being
you are a gentleman. I wish you the best, good luck in the fight. win lose or draw it will be a great one.
over in round 3 - Poirier becomes Porridge
Who is here after khabib won
am here after his loss big respect dustin
Poirier got smashed by kabib. There's no way he could ever win
Prayers love cheers support & respect for Dustin!! Truly a great fighter & wonderfully humble man!! Appreciate the respect between both of them.. REPRESENT the USA 🇺🇸
Wow. Props to the interviewer, best interview questions I've heard in a long ass time (not just vanilla, same ol sports journalism shit). Super interesting
yea Brett has stepped his game up. most mma reporters and sports reporters in general ask the dumbest, lamest questions. This was one of the better interviews i've seen in a while.
God damn, the more I watch of Dustin Poirier the more conflicted I get towards Saturday. Two weeks ago I was totally fanboying over Khabib...now I am not sure who I am rooting for. May the best man win.
If we look at the statistics...
Same feelings bro....it's true that khabib is undisputed and undefeated and is a monster in grappling.....but Dustin is a pro as well....better boxing and stand up....he has more confidence than other fighters.....and most of all he is very determined this time....this is nothing dangerous than a man who is very determined in a fight.....my guts tell me khabib will be rocked for sure during this fight.....he has responsibility and pressure fighting beside dad, and fans and defending the belt....anyway let's see the outcome!
28-0 And Still
Since the build up to this fight I think poirier is top 3 of my favorite fighters. He may not be the fastest, strongest or best fighter but he finds a way to win. Plus his care for others, story, heart & personality just amazes me. He is the definition of a true fighter 💯👊🏼👊🏼
We support you man! Daniel going into the 🔥. Walk in it with the lord my man...
What a great man you are brother!
Deep inside in my heart, I have the feeling that you will bring that built home.
Go Dustin 🏅✌️✌️
Love khabib but like Dustin too they both are worthy very interesting fight cant wait
As a khabib fanboy i will say anything can happen... So dont get your hopes up too high.. Even khabib himself never claimed victory before fight.. He always says victory only comes from God.
Edit : Khabib won Alhamdulillah and also huge respect for dustine
I love that about khabib i used to be atheist til khabib he made me believe in god because he is humble and seems to really genuinely believe in god
He said that? He's definitely gonna lose now
In several videos you can see khabib feels no one can beat him. In the promo video of this fight khabib says "no one can beats me", which means none of my next opponent can beat me. There are plenty of men on this planet who can wreck khabib in a fight in or outside this cage, even less strong opponent, (I would start with buakaw banchamek for example)... he was born muslim and has been taught all his life that god have all power over human destiny. So part of his "humility" comes from his religion. when he points his finger to the sky at the start or the end of a fight, it's because he was educated into islam, nothing less nothing more, it does not even comes from him, but from a guy who died 1500 years ago in foreign land far away from his... He 's no god nor semigod. (there is no god, only godliness but that's another subject). Khabib is a top grappler/wrestler/samboman and never met a fighter able to beat him in his ufc division for around 30 fights. Ben askren had 19 consecutive wins and thought he was invicible, he says it himself. Of course he was not as masvidal showed in 2,3 seconds. Mike tyson had 37 consecutive wins before meeting his destiny and lose vs buster douglas. He too, tyson, thought he was invicible and tyson was 100 times more a beast of a fighter than khabib is ...last but not least: anything can happen in a fight, all fighter knows it inluding khabib, but at the end of the day, khabib knows very very well that the biggest threat to his belt is not poirier but ferguson. I'm not saying poirier can not beat him, but I do say that fergsuon has much more elements in his game to beat khabib than dustin have, and khabib knows this very well :-) that's why khabib want to fight tony, lot of respect to khabib for this, khabib truly wants to fight tony cause he knows that tony is different from the others in this division... may the best wins
Wallah
Jesus christ is God
I respect both of these warriors so much, this will be bitter sweet. 2 class acts!
Dustin is going too shock the entire Planet.
I hope so.
I'll be rooting for you Dustin.Gretings from Russia:)
Traitor
RAT
Me too
@@AhmedBATTLEFIELD fuck you
Эркин Калыбеков because khabib is Muslim and Deep inside russians hate muslims. We know this ;)
There is no way Khabib will loose to this guy in front of his Father. Khabib been training so hard... But both of these guys are great person.
But Tony is great threat to break that 28-0 win streak
@M Harish you are stupid af. Khabib and dustin are 2 dif people. Khabib has his own lifetime coach which is his Father and this time his father will be in the corner of the actagon...
29 guys: I have the skills to beat Khabib Nurmagomedov
Khabib: Smesh, alamdulilah
''IF I WOULDN'T TAKE ADVICE FROM YOU I'M NOT TAKING CRITICISM FROM YOU'' fuck that is powerful
Khabib time most humble guy in the game khabib wants a test and hopefully Dustin can give him that so he can really explode on Dustin and show many unseen skills that khabib has in his arsenal real talk 💯💯💯 come on let's go khabib
I like khabib but my gut feeling says Dustin will shock the world!!
#andnew!!
@Evo Shift
You're going to get blocked from commenting on this channel lol.
@Evo Shift why dont you get out of your moms basement and do something about it yourself why waiting for Dustin
@Evo Shift don't listen to these guys there democrats Trump 2020 baby!!
Hey, let's all get along. No need to argue. Appreciate this event and the fight, gonna be a great one.
I have the same feeling brother if he can land on Khabib in the first like he did to Max he will win
man the way Dustin answers makes me shivvvvver! ..this guy even almost convinced me him winning!
I've always supported khabib but this guy seems special. A proper family guy. I really wish him the best.
Even am Muslim and I love my brother khabib always but this guy is decent and respect ✊ guy not like that POS Conor
Mike Johnson still talking about the champ champ lol
In the words of the great Grand Moff Tarkin: “If saying it only made it so”
Always a relief to see two beasts who are also gentlemen, conducting themselves professionally.
"If I don't take advice from you, I don't take criticism from you." Well said, Dustin.
Conor “My foot was a balloon” McGregor
Conor could drill and train for 10 lifetimes and he’d never beat khabib
@mr gwanson Stop it. Khabib is McGregors kryptonite. Connor is barely a gatekeeper now.
Murmurmurmurmur
Conor ‘2 Serious In The Gym Not Serious Enough Outside It’ Mcgregor
Conor drink up 🍹
Let's go Dustin🤘🗡
Porier you just received a new admirer from India and I do like your attitude and how disciplined you are and also I like the shape of your face it's a perfect jawline.
Brett has a way to get the fighters to really opening up to him.. great interview!
fan of both but I feel like Dustin has something up his sleeve and will shock the world
but he aint got any sleeves ? he got something up his shorts ;)
He lost the fight.
@@MohammedMuhiUddin He lost a wrestling match, Khabib and his dagestani pals literally grab crotch all day, you call that fight ? That was wrestling and that is all dude got slapped up on the feet.
@@jackgreenway4646 khabib won the fight.
@@MohammedMuhiUddin Wrestling match, Colby won his Wrestling match against RDA i bet you hate Colby when he fights.
Look what Jorge did to askren he was unstoppable too. Go on Dustin u got this bro
Askren was never unstoppable like khabib
Askren was never good always a hype job don't compare the two
All the best of luck Dustin, you are a huge inspiration to so many and have always stayed true to your roots, best of luck and go make history buddy!
Simply a pleasure to see two men demonstrating basic respect and competing .....hopefully a great night and good luck to all competitors...
Nice guy Okamoto interviewing nice guy Poirier, about to fight nice guy Khabib. Nice!
Lets go champ!!!!!
I am a supporter of Khabib but I love this man too. How wonderful behavior he possess. Really a strong and gentle sportsman. It's hard to watch being defeated anyone of them. May Allah bless both of you and your family....
Never knew much about him but once you learn more about him he is super likable. I have a tremendous amount of respect for him. He is legitametly a compassionate human. His legacy will be huge. Bless him and his kindness. I hope he prospers as champion.
Tony Ferguson the type of guy to build an arena to see who his title shot fight will be against
This was a good one
You are the type of idiot to actually spend time for writing non-related crap comment somebody started before you. Fuck you!
full of confidence...until the 2nd minute of the 1st round
Dustin one heck of a guy. I am a Khabib fan but huge amount of respect for him. May the best man win.
Fully respect to this guy and I wish you all the best.
Abu Dabi could be the new Japan, no drunken screaming fans
That's what you want in a crowd, part of the fun is having a crowd that shout, cheer, boo, and sing.
@@jsheriff396 u dont need this in football match, they will still shout cheer boo and sing without alcohols, i bet the same thing can happen too in a fight match

@@onmysoul2121so sad then, in my country we can still sing cheer boo without those stupid alcohols while watching football match
@@Raigazero1 I didn't say anything about alcahol, we'll drink what we like tho
I hope he wins. I’d love to see the McGregor rematch now Dustin is in the weight class that fits him best.
I think Dustin would decimate mcg these days
Ed Ghent so Connor can knock this guy out again not even kabib was willing to stand with conor that's called 1punch k.o. power and poorer no matter how much you like him would get slept!
@@DizGuys Youre emotion is clouding you're judgement dude Connor has a pretty good chin and if poorer can't knockout a blown up Holloway how is he going to hurt Connor hey I understand you don't like Connor but don't let that make you delusional Connor has legitimate 1puch k.o. power.
I’d rather see him fight tony. Tony is the one that deserves the title shot of this winner
@Anthony Aguilar yeah after Connor was gassed but what was he doing beforehand wrestling the he'll out if him!Come on anthony go watch the dam fight again then clap back at me!
"If I wouldn't take advice from you, I won't take criticism from your".
That's a great line.
Whoever wins will be a true representative of what a champion should be. Both honest hard working guys that are awesome fighters.
U r nice man poirier,...good luck after your retirement in MMA.
Imagine Dustin wins his next 3 fights..... Khabib, Tony and McGregor. He'd be the biggest thing since sliced bread!
Paul Lynch lol
I'm confident that he'll beat Khabib and McGregor. But Tony?
💎 is the most grounded UFC champion. Real class he shows.
US is on your back, great interview and hoping for the win
Khabib is one of my favorite fighters. I have a gut feeling Poirier going to finish Khabib. Just my opinion. Best of luck to both fighters.
Same here I've had khabib for all his fights but there's something bout Dustin that makes me think he's going to win u never know tho
same
just your opinion - now get some sleep
Enemy territory is when u get inside the octagon. Just be careful brothet dustin
I've admired this guy and his journey throughout his personal life and career.
Great interview and great guy.
Tony Ferguson's the type of guy to shave his hair, and grow it out again after seeing Dustin's success.
Ariel should be doing these interviews tbh, Brett just asks a lot of pretty weird, silly questions.
Yo Dustin!!! What ever's the result in this fight, you earned the respect of every mma fans man!!👊👊👊
For me you're already the people's champ! God Bless bro!
Great interview. Best of luck to Dustin Poirier
Tony Ferguson is the type of guy to slap out the gum bouncing around in Chael Sonnen's mouth
gb only came down to the comment section to look for the tony comment
Dustin Poirer the day after he loses: "I have the skills to beat Khabib, I just choose not to use them!"
Dustin is a great human being and great guy lot of respect for u both are great human being but khabib to good for Dustin
Whose here after Dustin tapped? Still undisputed!!!!!!!
Now i hear the same thing from ferguson mouth.
I respect khabib and dustin for saying they are gonna defend against Ferguson rather than Conor
Dustin Poirier is the definition of humble, trust this guy to not lose his mind when he makes big money
oh how i love a decent humble fighter like him.
Wow! Brett Okamoto’s mic actually works for Dustin Poirier, and nobody else.
Who came back after khabib beat dustin? 😂
Khabib & Poirier both great role models for the Sport ..Can't wait for fight night!
It's nice to see one of the greatest fighters in the world be so humble, thoughtful, and considerate. No matter what happens, and I wish him the best, I hope he keeps a solid fan base and White starts paying him properly. The mans earned it.
khabib normagedove will win in sha Allah from Somalia 🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴
i have seen the media day face-off of them, khabib's stare is so scary and different, wishing the best for both fighter but all i can say; khabib is going to be different september 7th
@Meic Feel tbh i never seen khabib stares like that, he was once with abel but not intense as this
Good , great mindset.. go Dustin
He’s an impressive guy. He has turned it all around. Well done 👍
I honestly wonder how Brett has a job.
Tows the line and satisfies the boss. Often a common recipe for climbing the ranks. I personally don't find any value in Brett's interviewing. Generic questions and zero charisma. i'm only here to support Dustin.
Agreed
Damn . He’s a decent interviewer. Y’all are bugging . To quick to discredit someone .
Brett = ZZZ
mrpotatoguy1 simple he complies with dana
“They believe... then after first round, they don’t believe” like if you read it Khabib accent
Both of u is great fighter great attitude as well
Good guy, I'll be rooting for him.
