not easy to improve for decades as a fighter and be at his best at 35, specially for an exciting fighter who goes to war every fight, his chin is still solid because he has really good defense
Dustin is an awesome human being, nothing fake about him. Just pure. It would have been a tremendous story if had won. I know he'll be feeling disappointed but the man is still a winner in life.
I’m a hardcore Islam fan, but I have a deep respect for Dustin Poirier. He’s a true warrior and a beautiful soul. Please, don't fight again-you’ve already achieved everything. God has blessed you with prestige, a championship belt, money, and a wonderful family. You gave it your all in your last fight, so let’s hang it up on a high note, champ. Remember, Islam will eventually have to do the same, and the next champion after him will too. It’s the cycle of the sport.
Yep If dustin doesn't want to start talking like stipe miocic and nate diaz he better retire soon. The only fights that would be good for him would be a rematch against oliviera for his legacy or fighting volkanovski too could be great for his legacy if he beats him that means he would have had wins over two of the greatest 145er in history (max, volk), than he should retire after that. But anyway just retire dude for your health, you didn't win the undisputed belt but you beat a long list of former world champions. , be proud of that at least. Look at it this way, what would you had preferred? Wining the undisputed belt but in your career you couldn't beat any legends or hall of famers or former champion in your life and lost every time like Micheal bisping.......? Or your legacy where you may have never won the undisputed belt but had killed so many legends and hall of famers in their prime in your long journey? With victories over (geathje, conor twice, eddie twice, max holloway) your were the undisputed king of violence and wars........what more do you want? Retire with grace or stay to long and get run over by the fight game like so many fighters that came before u not capable of learning from the mistakes of the fighters of the past......
If i was his manager i would advice him to wait until islamgoes up a weight class -which he would do imo in one year or so- then the belt would be up for graps.
Plus even tho poirier performed very well in this fight and his last fight as well, I re matched some of his previous fights to see if his speed and reaction timing has declined and buddy it did, he clearly is declining in speed. I re watched his fight with (eddie, geathje, max, khabib) and compared his speed and reaction in his last two fights, poirier definitely slowed down, he was faster 5 years ago. He can compensate his decline in speed with his experience to a certain extent but there is limite to that too... Also it's a lil off topic but I wonder how much 302 did in ppv numbers,a journalist should ask him next time, since the ufc doesn't release the ppv numbers anymore.
Good send off fight for retirement. The stakes, the opponent, the history, the performance, the adversity suffered w the injuries. He was competitive for 4 rounds and gave him a gnarly cut. Don't see a win against a lesser opponent beating this high.
I was lucky enough to meet Dustin at a Saints Game and what you see is what you get. He’s an admirable man, beyond a martial artist. A champion at life.
Dustin is one of the realest of the real, hell of a fighter, hell of a career, & a real example of how to do it, even if it is the end, Diamonds truly are forever, ooosss
The MMA fan in me wants to see Dustin keep fighting bc he's one of the best ever but the Dustin fan in me wants him to go live his life and be the great man he is doing something else. I honestly have a lot of love towards this man as a human being not as a fight. Nate fight would be a nice goodbye win though
This guy is the reason I got into combat sports and has been such a great role model for everyone outside of the cage. Legendary fighter, great man, and still has a lot more to give in his life outside of the cage
“As he was Wrapping you up like an octopus”😂😂😂😂. Glad Dustin didn’t take that personally and very brave and brilliant way of asking the question from Ariel😂😂🙌🏾
Dustin fought stylistically the hardest opponent possible, who is also the PFP #1, and took him to the brink and made him bleed. The Diamond has nothing to be ashamed of.
Dustin is a great guy and true warrior, awesome career and what he does for his community impacts so many people. A true light in this world and we are thankful for the memories and the moments. The Diamond 💎 is forever.
This was my first UFC event and this man’s walkout was absolutely breathtaking, he put it all out there and there would be absolutely no shame leaving on that note. 💎’s are forever.
I love this guys attitude. He's been one of my favourite fighters since he was at FW. Always been a dog and a proper man outside the cage. Guys been a staple of the game and sitting at the top for ages. Man deserves his flowers. Hall of Famer, no question. one of the best to ever do it!
correct decision -announce retirement. If a fight and money are correct for you, come out of retirement. If not well deserved retirement. Hall of Famer. Absolute legend. Animal. Great dude. Much love from Ireland
@@shaunrichards4821 lol, he definitely has lost a lot of support with his antics. A love/hate relationship. It's a tricky one for me. I will be routing for him against chandler and hope this is a turning point and he gets back on track. Everyone likes a redemption story!
@@Nathan.007 yessir hopefully the Irish kid that was raising belts and koing guys in the first round comes back. He's a big legend here in America Im rooting for him as well
Dustin has given so much to this sport already. It's time to keep the rest of u and your faculties intact for your family 👏 wasn't always your biggest fan but the way you carried yourself through the ups and downs of your career is inspirational
he gave facts you can take those as you want, understanding that injured ribs and broken nose from maybe head acsident, sure efected last rounds , he said islam is pp
Poirier and Gaethje are incredible. The improvements Gaethje made, to destroy Tony, beat Fiziev and KO Poirier, after originally being collapsed by Poirier and Alvarez were insane. As was Poirier's improvement in the grappling department post Khabib and Gamrot training. To defend 11/16 takedowns from Islam is crazy, especially how after so many of us wondered how he'd do given the Khabib fight.
Dustin is still a champ 🏆 I never seen Kahbib teams scared of loosing they were shouting at Islam. Dustin a good father, good husband and a legit fighter. Let's go!!! Dustin 💪
DP is the people champ forever! Warrior and a legend and a Hall of Famer followed your whole career and you always put one hell of a fight on every single time
Dustin is an all-timer. Nothing but respect for him as a person. He is truly one of the last of a golden age in this sport. He owes nothing more, and that has been the case for years. The only thing he owes is a good life for him and his family in retirement. Thanks for one of the most amazing careers DP. 💎
Should be a LOVE 'Like' in RUclips. How can you not love Mr. Poirier's positive attitude? Thank you to all involved with this! Saw the movie so many years ago and didn't pay attention to the names. The people did stand out, but, my oh my how you have shined since Mr. Poirier since, and I thank you for being a people's Champion!
You know man ur good enough..U have been a personal hero..being from The new orleans area..we always feel undeserving..u have given to others and now take care of you and yours..hugs and kisses..spend sometime with that family..
@@NB-zj4yv sorry to break it to you bro but losses matter. If you wanna talk CV Tony has wins over 2 former champs, Dustin has wins over 4. Tony’s streak is impressive but who was he beating, and is it really more impressive than Dustin’s schedule? I don’t think so.
There is two legends in ufc or mma that is role model for humanity and righteousness. The two are 1-khabib 2- Dustin piorier. These two never fade away.
DP been my favorite fighter for years, the thought of him retiring is disheartening as a fan but he can leave knowing that he he made it to the top and did it while being a great role model for the next generation of fighters. True warrior, dad, and husband. Quality man
That boxing workout back in Lafayette he’s talking about from fightville was our team. We all knew he had it back then.I am in the boxing scene from fightville. Dustin was always a class act and a humble guy. I am grateful to have trained and sparred with him back in the beginning of his legendary career. Diamonds are forever!
I don't understand this narrative that Hill and Buckley have tried to push. This is literally just basic interviewing skills. He's setting the guest up to tell their point of view instead of leaving the audience to assume - that's WHY the people are coming on the interview show.
Hes been at it for a long time. I remember way back in the day I was watching MTV caged and those guys spoke about this dude from their area that's really good and going places, it was Dustin Porier. I think I was 19 at the time and I am turning 38 in a few days. So, I feel old these days yet Dustin has been doing his thing for half of my life, UN FREAKIN' REAL!!
Ariel the worm is good at putting words in the guests mouth. His jewish bias against Islam is evident here again. It wasn't a headbutt but a clash of heads. Then he makes it seem like Dustin was super injured before the fight. Every fighter enters a fight banged up. Islam had staph. This guy is the biggest weasel on earth.
Haters gonna hate, had to bring up him being Jewish.....and then you claim he has a bias against Islam?!? Call a man names who is just doing his job, he is not the 1st who claimed it was a headbutt.
Ended careers…… Dustin was done already he was happy he got the title fight, and that volk fight was due to his own stupidity to take that fight on short notice…..
I’m gonna miss seeing his fights but, unlike most fans I want the fighters to leave with dignity. Seeing them going out the way Tony is just isn’t fun. Just like Khabib and gsp leaving on top khabib was probably a little pre mature but I’m a fan of leaving on top or on there own terms!
I can’t imagine what it feels like for Dustin not having the title in hand after the build up.. I know he’s been at it for ages but I feel like he has just hit his peak performance, confidence, fan base wise everything. He’s still right there at title contention.! Step back for a little let a few more people contest while being a back up fighter just in case
I like 165 idea but these two have been LWs and forever. It’d basically be an opportunity for one of them to add “undisputed” to their resume but at the same time neither of them want to stay active for much longer.
Would love to see dustin commentate. He seems really insightful and present in the moment when recalling fights. I bet he would be good at calling them.
Or he can lose, keep trying to chase leaving on a win and end up retiring on a 4-5 fight losing streak. Just let him be! I guess if he is gonna fight maybe Dariush? But that's not really a big fight
Dustin has a very genuine manner, and articulates in a way which gives real insight into his experiences. Never excuses. No rationalizing. I can only feel real respect for him. An empathic guy. It's a shame he never became champ. He deserves it. He's been in so many memorable wars. He's a superb fighter.
Solid interview Ariel! Dustin Poirier is the man, a true legend of the sport, class act, an overall great guy and a perfect ambassador for the sport. Even without winning the belt, DP has had a Hall of Fame worthy career. 👏👏👏👏💎
Damn, Arturo Gatti, Max and Dustin are my fav fighters of all time. I sincerely love this dude and I try to live my life raising three kids as a single Dad like this dude lives his. I'm nowhere close but, when I wake up and my feet touch the floor, I get another chance to do things right. I love how he says this is my story and things that happen in my life are mine.
he's good financially, his words not mine.. and he's beaten Conor twice , ppl keep throwing out these ideas of what they think Dustin should do but none of it makes sense.. let that man retire in peace, he's earned that
@@DynastyIcon not saying he need to do it. Just saying that if he wants the real money, he needs to fight McGregor what ever the outcome. Pretty sure it will be the number 1 ppv $$$
I"ve always been of a fan of just listening to this guys interview. The way he talks, just seems so knowledgeable. Theres always something to learn from it. Thats how I feel when I listen to a Tom Brady or a Kobe Bryant type interview.

I’m gonna miss seeing his fights but, unlike most fans I want the fighters to leave with dignity. Seeing them going out the way Tony is just isn’t fun. Just like Khabib and gsp leaving on top khabib was probably a little pre mature but I’m a fan of leaving on top or on there own terms!
Absolutely right! About wanting the diamond to come out victorious
Should had asked him how much did ufc 302 did in ppv.
Well? Good? Very good? Great? Tremendous?
Would be nice to do 1 retirement fight the FANS love him.
Love Dustin, always a warrior.
I can’t imagine what it feels like for Dustin not having the title in hand after the build up.. I know he’s been at it for ages but I feel like he has just hit his peak performance, confidence, fan base wise everything. He’s still right there at title contention.! Step back for a little let a few more people contest while being a back up fighter just in case
Dustin vs Justin 165lb Title/ New weight class intro fight.
Meh.....
I like 165 idea but these two have been LWs and forever. It’d basically be an opportunity for one of them to add “undisputed” to their resume but at the same time neither of them want to stay active for much longer.
And islam jumps to 165 to become double champ 😂
Would love to see dustin commentate. He seems really insightful and present in the moment when recalling fights. I bet he would be good at calling them.
He can have one farewell fight and Leave with a victory. But first take care of your health,get those operations done.
Or he can lose, keep trying to chase leaving on a win and end up retiring on a 4-5 fight losing streak. Just let him be! I guess if he is gonna fight maybe Dariush? But that's not really a big fight
He can fight Colby because they already got beef and then they both hopefully retire
Dustin has a very genuine manner, and articulates in a way which gives real insight into his experiences. Never excuses. No rationalizing. I can only feel real respect for him. An empathic guy. It's a shame he never became champ. He deserves it. He's been in so many memorable wars. He's a superb fighter.
7 fights left in the contract.Plenty of title shots to me.
Solid interview Ariel! Dustin Poirier is the man, a true legend of the sport, class act, an overall great guy and a perfect ambassador for the sport. Even without winning the belt, DP has had a Hall of Fame worthy career. 👏👏👏👏💎
Lmfao Dustin about to crack up when Ariel asked about his wife telling him to pull out
Damn, Arturo Gatti, Max and Dustin are my fav fighters of all time. I sincerely love this dude and I try to live my life raising three kids as a single Dad like this dude lives his. I'm nowhere close but, when I wake up and my feet touch the floor, I get another chance to do things right. I love how he says this is my story and things that happen in my life are mine.
My number 9 UFC best fighter in the World 🙏🏿🇺🇲🗺🗡
9? No way. Not even top 25. That's crazy. He's a legend no doubt.
DP will always be the man!
Dustin poirier will only return for a BIG payday
McGregor IV
he's good financially, his words not mine.. and he's beaten Conor twice , ppl keep throwing out these ideas of what they think Dustin should do but none of it makes sense.. let that man retire in peace, he's earned that
@@DynastyIcon not saying he need to do it. Just saying that if he wants the real money, he needs to fight McGregor what ever the outcome. Pretty sure it will be the number 1 ppv $$$
I"ve always been of a fan of just listening to this guys interview. The way he talks, just seems so knowledgeable. Theres always something to learn from it. Thats how I feel when I listen to a Tom Brady or a Kobe Bryant type interview.
DP is a dawg, man. He's climbed that ladder so many times and brought us along for the ride.
