I have never respected and admired a man like I do Dustin Poirier. He is the living embodiment of class and humbleness. Family man, business man, and he never makes excuses. You're the fucking man DP
Huge respect to Dustin, man. Usually never see guys who lost like that do these interviews after (thought it was mandatory they go to hospital tbh.) All class.
Also glass chin against that kick is kind of relevant. Especially is you didn’t see it which Dustin did it. Call it glass chin all you want you Probally have a couple more layers than Dustin
Dustin is a good man. Good example for young folks. I usually tell my son not to put athletes, actors, politicians ect on a pedestal however there are men like Dustin to keep an eye on. Facing life like a man, fighting back tears but still facing it and knowing what he has in life.
Damn. That sounds inspiring. Can you elaborate for a Young Man myself, Why should we avoid putting the so called „men of success” on the pedestal? You Have my full attention sir. Lets educate
Justin & Dustin both embody what being a UFC fighter is all about. Both are must see everytime they fight. Not sure where DP goes from here but I hope we see him again
@@jaseallenson316 He's only 34 and a lifelong competitor, he'll be back. Only way I can see him retiring anytime soon is if he loses his next fight bad.

You won in life my man. Thank you for being a true role model, an inspiration throughout the years leading by example how a true hardworking and humble man should carry himself.❤👊🤙

So much respect for Dustin. I wanted Justin to win, but I didn’t want Dustin to lose. Complete class act for holding his head high. This fight inspired many people in many different ways.
He took this like a man. That was a pretty nasty knockout, so I'm impressed he still made a point to come do press afterwards. Made no excuses. Fought back tears while still answering everybody's questions. Pure class in defeat.

"Where I come from, Ive already won". This is absolutely true, Poirier really came from nothing, just an average everyday kid from south Louisiana that saw the early UFCs and wanted to do that. He made his dream come true. He really is just a normal dude, a normal dude that focused on a goal, made it happen, and is now world famous and a multi millionaire. Great interview.
Dude is such a genuine article. This fight was heartbreaking because I didn’t want either guy to lose, I definitely didn’t want either guy to get hurt too bad. They’re both just the cream of the crop. Dustin isn’t done

Dude is a legend! Best in the game! Carries himself with nothing but class. One of my favorite fighters. Congrats to gajeth, well deserved win. he has improved his skills bigtime and it showed tonight! Much respect to both fighters, they are both top tier l, notice there was no beef and nothing but massive respect across the board!
I still believe he’s one fight away from another shot at the title don’t give up hope Dustin your fans still want you here.. you just got caught don’t beat yourself up to much brotha 🤞🏾
When you think about it, that first mental and physical arse whoopin Dustin took from Conor set him on a path of greatness. The guy is a true warrior poet. He’s become probably my all time favorite fighter. He has become comfortable in his own skin. That’s hard to do my friends
@rippindrummer666 ye they are both insane but you never know with guys that have the power of Justin. Justin rocked Charles multiple times and even though charles gets rocked a lot that fight could have been Justin's if just a few things went differently
Forever one of the all time greats! Regardless of wins and losses.. titles or not. Spot in the Hall of Fame secured and your place in the history of the sport has been secured for some time now. God bless you and your family Dustin!
Love porier. Just a genuine man…. He was actually winning and performing better prior to the KO…. And fair play to him….he tried getting back up immediately. Can’t get any stronger. I would love to see a trilogy
Honestly felt he looked a small step behind all fight. Usually his defense is a bit sharper than it was tn. Justin was tagging him constantly & he wasn't checking those kicks again.
@@rickjones5399 As a DP fan gotta agree, Justin looked on point, his footwork and shot selection were on point and he stayed composed, I just feel like we got robbed of a good 5 round dog fight, but it is what it is, fair play.
That's all it takes. 1 punch, knee or kick to the dome and it's goodnight Vienna. You could be totally dominating a fight, be the better fighter but one good shot landed and all that means nothing. Respect to both fighters. We all want to see the trilogy at some point.
I hate MMA reporters. If you watch more than 1 of Dustin's fights, you'll realize he has a tic that's pulling his shorts up. The guy asking if it was an "equipment issue" is actually comical. Get these guys outta here.
@@Zga95nah it’s some fat kid behind the screen. His previous profile photo was a model named Anwar Hadid, then it got exposed and he changed it to that emo guy. It’s creepy and weird af but that’s incels
I love how this man makes no excuses and at the same time you can feel how disappointed he is, that’s never easy to do especially when you put so much into what you do.
Right! for those people who clearly see just how impressive this interview is and are impressed with how he carries himself that speaks volumes about yourself. If you're not thoroughly impressed with Dustin as a man then you're likely not on the right path as a man. Didn't get the outcome he wanted but the outcome meant very little in defining his success or failure overall. Dustin represents what every young athletes should aspired to reach.
Watched this live in the bar everybody was in shock 💀 Never ever expected Dustin to go out like that and neither did anyone else honestly 2nd round is fast as hell Justin swung that f***in crane of a kick and smashed with pure force on Poriers neck, Im suprised he didnt break part of it. Dustin even had high guard and he looped his foot around it dead on.
Dustin you’re one of the best no matter what from here! True warrior spirit and embodiment of what a UFC fighter should be! Amazing company man, gives a lot to charity, puts his family first and fights for everything with all of his heart ❤️ you have won in life!
I hate to see this guy lose. He is literally the pinnacle of what a lot of men are striving to become, but if it had to be someone win and take that BMF strap, then Justin would be the only deserving candidate as far as I'm concerned.
@@beaualoevvhe was completely out lucky he didn’t die from being unconscious so long. Time to go home to promiscuous wife and dissapoinyed kid and talk about when he was a one hit wonder
Sad to see Poirier lose, especially so early in the fight, but honestly felt like he looked better than Gaethje and would have got it done, if not for the headkick. Either way, big congrats to Gaethje.
Man I hate to see either one of these guys lose. Justin seems to take losses a lot better than Dustin. I don't think it's because he doesn't care as much, but because he has that dog in him that knows, he will get that back. Dustin, on the other hand, seems to take them harder (they both deal with defeat like champs), and it seems he doesn't see the light at the end when he loses. Either way, these two men are what should be considered the definition of a true fighter. They will both be an example of the golden age of mma. Future generations will say, "They don't make them like Dustin and Justin anymore."
the reporter who asked that question knew what it was, he asked that question like such a weasel. disrespectful af. idk that journalists name but if anyone can tell me, i'd appreciate it so i can never look at any of their content Lol
@@PAWGmoth oh yeah I just got to that questions, turns out they asked him that. Well yeah it was uncomfortable, but Dustin surely did it a lot in this fight for some reason.
@@RedRumble14 it’s an odd thing he does it every fight, there’s a bunch of funny compilations on it lol. I don’t think hes ever got caught when he does it, could be wrong tho
Selfish dude behind the curtain. When he was coming up he had many vets take a chance fighting him... now hes the vet and says he doesn't want to fight the up and coming guys and only wants big names. I get it fighting is a selfish sport but someone that goes around acting like Dustin does should shut his mouth and fight whoever is ranked next to him.
Really not sure what kind of fight Dustin will take next if he doesn’t wanna fight an up-and-comer. Hope he makes another run for the belt but after two failed attempts and now knocked out of contention, who knows. Hard to see him lose like that.
Dustin is one of the best to do it and hands down my favorite fighter . He will be back , he’s never lost back to back fights . This dude is an absolute legend and such a humble dude he is comfortable in his own skin and knows his worth . Nobody would have done a press conference after that. But he also didn’t get knocked out it was a flash KO and defiantly a lucky kick by Justin he even said so after the fight . Keep your head up Dustin your the man
Didn’t seem like a hard KO, more like a body shock from a kick to a neck. It may even be better than taking these kicks for 5 rounds straight. I doubt Dustin would wanna fight gaetje again tho, he felt these kicks again and would not wanna put himself there. Just win some Dariush( easy for you) and go to boxing. You are already hall of famer
@@Kang501 That was legal. if you leaned into it then that's on you, but that isn't considered back of the head. Look up a video of the referees explaining what is considered back of the head in the rule set.
@@AtrioxiClean Coping? Bruh, this is exactly what I wanted, the first fight was so good I wanted this to be a trilogy, but now I know it was legal, just wanted to confirm it wasn't illegal
@@Kang501He leaned into the kick after dodging the straight and also turned his head the other way due to how he guards. The main point still stands that it isn't seen as illegal under the MMA ruleset.
1:02 naw bruh this is what Justin does. Thats his trick its a mindgame to make you believe thats hes not all there so that you let your guard down and come closer. He does it in every fight just go watch em. Head kick knockout for a bmf title id be upset too but dont be actin like Justin was ever not in control of that fight. He would have won no matter what.
I remember when I watched dustin fight conor the first time and I was like man he got destroyed, and then I watched him fight at 155 and just watching him grow his skill set and maturity in this sport is remarkable. Pure warrior spirit with great work ethic and a humble personality. Always a top g. Favorite fighter of all time.
This guy is a great actor! Bet he had guys with a ton of money on Gaethje to win that fight he was ready to go out anyways! This guy doesn’t want to fight anymore!
Dustin is a hell of a fighter, can’t wait to see him holding the undisputed title one day. He deserves it so much! Keep your hands up dustin, your time to shine will come, definitely!
It's gonna be tough man. Guy lost pretty bad tonight so the only way I see him getting back into title contention is by facing an upcoming prospect, like a gamrot, arman or grant dawson. Even then we have monsters sitting at the top of the rankings so we'll shall see
The way he articulate the fight games is what life is all about. Just cause you put in the work dont guarantee a W at the end of the day! Keep grinding Champ! You are inspiring many peoples lives out here!
I always remember Poirier great quote “when times are good be grateful, when times are bad be graceful” 🔥👏
Love this....

Much respect to both fighters, they are both top tier l, notice there was no beef and nothing but massive respect across the board!
I still believe he’s one fight away from another shot at the title don’t give up hope Dustin your fans still want you here.. you just got caught don’t beat yourself up to much brotha 🤞🏾
dustin is classy as hell. nun but respect
Don’t always like Dustin but got to say he takes his licks like the best of them fair play
When you think about it, that first mental and physical arse whoopin Dustin took from Conor set him on a path of greatness. The guy is a true warrior poet. He’s become probably my all time favorite fighter. He has become comfortable in his own skin. That’s hard to do my friends
DP is class man, trilogy will be fun 🔥 1-1
justin winning the belt and then dustin taking the belt in a trilogy would be amazing. love to see both fighters become champ at least once.
Not gonna happen cause Charles and Islam both will sub him
Not gonna happen cause Charles and Islam both will sub him
@rippindrummer666 ye they are both insane but you never know with guys that have the power of Justin. Justin rocked Charles multiple times and even though charles gets rocked a lot that fight could have been Justin's if just a few things went differently
It was so satisfying seeing him knocked out.. So sweet
Dustin you the man.. thanks for being who you are, and setting the example you set
Forever one of the all time greats! Regardless of wins and losses.. titles or not. Spot in the Hall of Fame secured and your place in the history of the sport has been secured for some time now. God bless you and your family Dustin!
I love this man. He could have won and Gaethje even admitted luck was involved, but Gaethje showed up tonight. God bless these men
Lol Gaethje shouldn’t have said that luck thing
He's a 🤡 and so are you 😂😂😂
he was being humble lmao
@user-ct7ib8yk6f luck is always a factor. He set it up nice but if not the whole fight may have went like that first round and he'd be the loser
@@1999_rebornOh yeah cause honesty and authenticity are lame
Props to him for doing after getting KO’d
Love porier. Just a genuine man….
He was actually winning and performing better prior to the KO….
And fair play to him….he tried getting back up immediately. Can’t get any stronger.
I would love to see a trilogy
Both are champs in my mind. respect to both
I think the last question almost made him go Nick Diaz on the reporter...(newer fan's type "Nick Diaz stupid questions" )
Honestly felt he looked a small step behind all fight. Usually his defense is a bit sharper than it was tn. Justin was tagging him constantly & he wasn't checking those kicks again.
Justin was moving much better this time. He made the changes to win.
Agree with both of you ⬆️
@@rickjones5399 As a DP fan gotta agree, Justin looked on point, his footwork and shot selection were on point and he stayed composed, I just feel like we got robbed of a good 5 round dog fight, but it is what it is, fair play.
Porier becomes good as fight increases he learns from observation.
No ..he looked sharp ..he rocked justin...he didn't go for the kill..justin threw a new kick
One of the greatest LW's of all time! Much respect to the man 👊
Probably number 3
Probably not even top 15
@@Squirrelpadre preposterous
That's all it takes. 1 punch, knee or kick to the dome and it's goodnight Vienna. You could be totally dominating a fight, be the better fighter but one good shot landed and all that means nothing. Respect to both fighters. We all want to see the trilogy at some point.
Dustin is my BMF, love that guy
I hate MMA reporters. If you watch more than 1 of Dustin's fights, you'll realize he has a tic that's pulling his shorts up. The guy asking if it was an "equipment issue" is actually comical. Get these guys outta here.
Stuff happens man, nothing to take away against Dustin. The kick was just picture perfect
Always a class act you’ll never see Dustin being a salty douchebag. Much respect we love you bro get some rest and come back 💪🏻 👊
Wouldn’t mind a trilogy with Gaethje. They’re one a piece with finishes.
your parents are crying every day because of you
have you considered buying the -r0p 3 aiready?

@@beaualoevvis that you in the pfp? If so, I’m not going to make fun of you bc you are INTIMIDATING
@@Zga95nah it’s some fat kid behind the screen. His previous profile photo was a model named Anwar Hadid, then it got exposed and he changed it to that emo guy. It’s creepy and weird af but that’s incels
I love how this man makes no excuses and at the same time you can feel how disappointed he is, that’s never easy to do especially when you put so much into what you do.
Right! for those people who clearly see just how impressive this interview is and are impressed with how he carries himself that speaks volumes about yourself. If you're not thoroughly impressed with Dustin as a man then you're likely not on the right path as a man. Didn't get the outcome he wanted but the outcome meant very little in defining his success or failure overall. Dustin represents what every young athletes should aspired to reach.
Watched this live in the bar everybody was in shock 💀 Never ever expected Dustin to go out like that and neither did anyone else honestly 2nd round is fast as hell Justin swung that f***in crane of a kick and smashed with pure force on Poriers neck, Im suprised he didnt break part of it. Dustin even had high guard and he looped his foot around it dead on.
Lol
Dustin you’re one of the best no matter what from here! True warrior spirit and embodiment of what a UFC fighter should be! Amazing company man, gives a lot to charity, puts his family first and fights for everything with all of his heart ❤️ you have won in life!
I hate to see this guy lose. He is literally the pinnacle of what a lot of men are striving to become, but if it had to be someone win and take that BMF strap, then Justin would be the only deserving candidate as far as I'm concerned.
This dude just got KO’d he shouldn’t have to do media he should be in the hospital at least to be safe
He doesn't have to do it. He chose to
he wasn’t out, he was dazed. why would he be at the hospital lol
@@beaualoevvhe was completely out lucky he didn’t die from being unconscious so long. Time to go home to promiscuous wife and dissapoinyed kid and talk about when he was a one hit wonder
Sad to see Poirier lose, especially so early in the fight, but honestly felt like he looked better than Gaethje and would have got it done, if not for the headkick. Either way, big congrats to Gaethje.
Tony should hang the gloves man. Upto Chandler atleast he was losing to respectable fighters.......now he's just losing to scrubs. 😢
Sucks cus he was looking great Vs chandler. Then head kicks changing life’s 😊
Man I hate to see either one of these guys lose. Justin seems to take losses a lot better than Dustin. I don't think it's because he doesn't care as much, but because he has that dog in him that knows, he will get that back. Dustin, on the other hand, seems to take them harder (they both deal with defeat like champs), and it seems he doesn't see the light at the end when he loses. Either way, these two men are what should be considered the definition of a true fighter. They will both be an example of the golden age of mma. Future generations will say, "They don't make them like Dustin and Justin anymore."
Legend for doing this press! Dustin is class, he'll be back
Sry buddy. God bless. You’re a good man, and my favorite active fighter.
His shorts pulling was so extreme in the first round, it’s like a coping mechanism, a reaction to a serious stress that he can’t control
the reporter who asked that question knew what it was, he asked that question like such a weasel. disrespectful af. idk that journalists name but if anyone can tell me, i'd appreciate it so i can never look at any of their content Lol
@@PAWGmoth oh yeah I just got to that questions, turns out they asked him that. Well yeah it was uncomfortable, but Dustin surely did it a lot in this fight for some reason.
@@RedRumble14 it’s an odd thing he does it every fight, there’s a bunch of funny compilations on it lol. I don’t think hes ever got caught when he does it, could be wrong tho
He's always done that. It's almost like a reset after each exchange.
Muay thai fighters do the same thing
Selfish dude behind the curtain. When he was coming up he had many vets take a chance fighting him... now hes the vet and says he doesn't want to fight the up and coming guys and only wants big names. I get it fighting is a selfish sport but someone that goes around acting like Dustin does should shut his mouth and fight whoever is ranked next to him.
Class act like always by Dustin. Legend
Tough time for this guy. Mcgregor had to drop Dustin’s wife back to the arena for this fight and she came just in time to see the knockout 😢
Really not sure what kind of fight Dustin will take next if he doesn’t wanna fight an up-and-comer. Hope he makes another run for the belt but after two failed attempts and now knocked out of contention, who knows. Hard to see him lose like that.
Win or lose, whether people consider you goat or not. You're my favourite fighter and that's all i care about 🙏
Thought for sure he was gonna retire hope he gives us a couple more wars then dips
Win like a man? I didnt see him winning like a man against Hooker or Chandler… 😂
bro fr
Dustin is one of the best to do it and hands down my favorite fighter . He will be back , he’s never lost back to back fights . This dude is an absolute legend and such a humble dude he is comfortable in his own skin and knows his worth . Nobody would have done a press conference after that. But he also didn’t get knocked out it was a flash KO and defiantly a lucky kick by Justin he even said so after the fight . Keep your head up Dustin your the man
Figured Gaethje would win and we'd end up seeing the trilogy, nice to be right about the Gaethje win now couple years see if we get the trilogy
Didn’t seem like a hard KO, more like a body shock from a kick to a neck.
It may even be better than taking these kicks for 5 rounds straight.
I doubt Dustin would wanna fight gaetje again tho, he felt these kicks again and would not wanna put himself there. Just win some Dariush( easy for you) and go to boxing. You are already hall of famer
Kick was behind the ear, that was illegal
@@Kang501Dude learn the rules and stop coping, it was perfectly legal
@@Kang501 That was legal. if you leaned into it then that's on you, but that isn't considered back of the head.
Look up a video of the referees explaining what is considered back of the head in the rule set.
@@AtrioxiClean Coping? Bruh, this is exactly what I wanted, the first fight was so good I wanted this to be a trilogy, but now I know it was legal, just wanted to confirm it wasn't illegal
@@Kang501He leaned into the kick after dodging the straight and also turned his head the other way due to how he guards.
The main point still stands that it isn't seen as illegal under the MMA ruleset.
You won the watch game Dustin 👌🏼 , that thing on Justin's wrist looks hideous 👎🏼
1:02 naw bruh this is what Justin does. Thats his trick its a mindgame to make you believe thats hes not all there so that you let your guard down and come closer. He does it in every fight just go watch em. Head kick knockout for a bmf title id be upset too but dont be actin like Justin was ever not in control of that fight. He would have won no matter what.
I remember when I watched dustin fight conor the first time and I was like man he got destroyed, and then I watched him fight at 155 and just watching him grow his skill set and maturity in this sport is remarkable. Pure warrior spirit with great work ethic and a humble personality. Always a top g. Favorite fighter of all time.
I was happy to see Dustin kicked in the mouth. He deserved it and it was worth waiting for 😅
Big respect to Dustin
I always said that was a lucky head kick cuz Justin does not throw high kicks it def caught me off guard when it hit lol
Dustin is not only showing maturity but showing the heart of a champion.
This guy is a great actor! Bet he had guys with a ton of money on Gaethje to win that fight he was ready to go out anyways! This guy doesn’t want to fight anymore!
Dustin is a hell of a fighter, can’t wait to see him holding the undisputed title one day. He deserves it so much! Keep your hands up dustin, your time to shine will come, definitely!
It's gonna be tough man. Guy lost pretty bad tonight so the only way I see him getting back into title contention is by facing an upcoming prospect, like a gamrot, arman or grant dawson. Even then we have monsters sitting at the top of the rankings so we'll shall see
Why do I feel like this shit is fixed now or now maybe I’m crazy
Poirier always comes back ready. "He'll be back for that hit." He's a warrior. Poirier vs Gaethje 3, the Trilogy. As a fan, I love it.
I couldn't like Poirier more. What an absolute stud.
The way he articulate the fight games is what life is all about. Just cause you put in the work dont guarantee a W at the end of the day! Keep grinding Champ! You are inspiring many peoples lives out here!
The guy that asked the last question never saw dustin fight before :D
LEGEND LOVE THIS GUY.
