How can you not root for Porier.. same for Islam, but Dustin showed how much of a man he is by apologizing for the translation issue with “MF’er” (he didn’t have to do that), and his humility after that loss…he’s a prime example of what a strong man is. No matter what he decides to do after this, he’s going to excel massively.
This MF culture is really shame, he should never mention that no matter if he apologised or not he made a big mistake like coner , never disrespect any ones family specisly if it's a muslim family in any way , 💯 flashback
He had to do that man that's not just a word it's a tough insult in here At the end of the day, wouldn't you apologize if you insulted a man you respect, even though unintentionally?
Genuine argument for Islam as the lightweight GOAT now. Longest win streak in division history (13) breaking Ferguson and Khabib’s record of 12. Defended his belt 3 times (equal to Khabib) and two of those being against the P4P #1 at the time. Not to mention winning the belt by submitting the UFC submission GOAT
LOL??!!... Serious, LMMFAO??!!...AAHAGAAAAAA!! Thanks for the laughs!! I fucking HATE Jon Jones, I think he's a GIANT piece of shit, but he & George St-Pierre are the 2 best greatest fighters of all time. Go sober up dude... Jesus...
Totally agree, him wanting to go up to welterweight when he barely beat a 145er and barely beat Dustin. Volk and Dustin are gnarly but to want to get immediate shot at WW is insane
I think Poirier is the most respectable fighter in the UFC. True gentleman for clarifying the whole MotherFckr thing and also humble in victories and in defeat. Something mcgregor could do with.
i thought Dustin shouldn't retire, but after listening to him, it is better he retires on top, he put up an amazing challenge to Islam, he's been fighting nearly 20yrs, he's been in a lot of wars, and taking more damage for a few more years could take it's toll on his health - right now he's good mentally, never had too serious injuries. man needs a break, he's tired and exhausted. hes done his time and earned tonnes of respect. i see him becoming a regular pundit in the commentary box, he will always be in the sport.
He's done everything in the sport, fought EVERYONE, never got the belt....but fuck it, he's got a family to take care of and that's the greatest thing a man can have.
He owes the sport, the company and the fans absolutely nothing. It really is a shame he never claimed the undisputed title, must be one of the best 145/155 fighters never to do so but when you see the level of competition he was up against there's absolutely no shame in that record of his. Fought some legendary battles and is one of the most respected fighters in the game. Id like to see him go out on a win but if this is to be it I wouldn't be disappointed. Fair play Dustin, proper warrior.
How can you not respect poirier. He only fights the best - islam, khabib, holloway, Korean zombie, gaethje, chandler, saint denis, Eddie alvarez, Oliviera, mcgregor. That’s a crazy resume!
Right bro like Ciryl Gane is that guy lmao dude layed over to Jones way before that fight ever happened. Aspinall vs Jones is the best shot at Turning that 0 to 1
You know Islam and khabib don't just train wrestling they train in everything. That's the idea of being a well rounded MMA fighter. Is you have to know both worlds very well
The only reason he can do that is because Dustin cannot commit a lot to striking since he can get taken down then it’s hugging on the ground for the rest of round
@@ShaariAmin-zn4klThe difference between them and you is that they will realize it's just a fight and move on and you will go back to Mumbai and live out the rest of your days as a Dalit sweeping the streets
@@ShaariAmin-zn4kl Can you possibly say that again but in English? The purpose of speaking is to communicate, and I can tell you the gibberish you just spewed is something no one can understand. Are you drunk?
People hating and booing Makhachev all night was almost as gay as Jon Jones ducking unifying the belt (with new interim champ and #1 ranked pound for pound contender Tom Aspinall) like the black death and suddenly pretending like people have to see a Jones v Pereira fight before they die. Islam showed up and showed out in true fashion and put the smesh on your boy.. and Jon dont want none of our new heavyweight king. Hed rather retire than have to prove himself against anyone whos actually competition to him.
I don't think you can have 13 championship defenses as a duck 😉 . Also it is his right to pick the biggest fights with his status. People really found out about Tom because he beat Sergi. Jon Jones beating Tom absolutely does nothing for him. His resume is filled with straight elite competition.... Tom is just another. Stipe on the other hand is widely recognized, and is a fight that legit makes sense if your Jon Jones. Both financially, and resume wise. When Jones beats Tom if they fought then you will look back, and just see Tom as another body. He ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING. Stipe no matter how old is a certified legend as the best ever HW in the UFC.
@@ShaDusK Then vacate the belt and fight him as just a normal heavyweight bout. If you have the belt, you should fight the interim next, period. Anything else is ducking your responsibility to unify the belt
Who's your p4p? In the UFC now, I would say Alex Pereira Of all time I would say the all-Mighty Mouse, Demetrious Johnson (or Khabib or Jon Jones or Fedor....)
@@Narleeboylmao tf ? Francis over Jones ? You must be new to the sport. Jones resume is 99% more impressive than any fighter in the world plus the way he beat all the legends he fought. Jones the goat but not the best fighter in present day.
Shout out to Porier. When he was younger I couldn't;t stand the dude. When he fought McGreggor I gave him no chance. He has since become one of my favorite fighters. He's a polite savage with the heart of a warrior. Respect to a legend. Hope he rides off in the sunset
He was a boy when he started in the UFC and he grew up to be a father and a solid man, its perfectly normal part of maturing. I mean, remember what you were like when you were 18-22 and tell me you weren't a lil know-it-all arrogant punk, I certainly was.
No he didn't, ROFL, Dustin busted him open, what crack are you smoking? Its all about DAMAGE when it comes to striking. Pansy glove taps get fuck all points. GET A CLUE. Dustin had the harder shots. Credit to islam for whipping out a darce with 2 mins to go but it's only because he feared for his life as Dustin put it on him bad in the rounds and with how well Dustin was defending those takedowns, Islam was definitely fearing he'd get KOed, you could see it on Islams face, as its that same deer in headlights look he had in later rounds against volk. Dustin was landing more and more and wad outstriking him. You say he outstruck dustin when round 1 there was no striking and he just held up the entire round with submission attempts thay never even looked threatening (dustin defended them perfectly) Rd 2 and 3 islam landed some combos but nothing that hurt dustin at all, they were mostly love taps. The only thing that actually hurt dustin was the head clash. To say he outstruck Dustin is idiotic. Dustin was landing the harder shots in the entire fight and im sorry but volume does not beat damage caused. If you love tap me 10 times but it does fuck all and I hit you 3 times but bust you the fuck open, im ahead on striking. People on here are fucking daft. Dmg is the key criteria and only Islam was the one busted open. In the last round he held onto that leg for dear life as Islam knew he was done if he didn't, he had taken too much dmg from dustin and that knock out was coming. Everyone knows it. He needed the submission then and there as he was gassed, and bleeding bad. Otherwise Dustin would of finished him as Islam was done and he knows it. That was a submission out of desperation, not domination cause he knew he would lose if the fight went on any longer, he was getting hurt fucking bad. If islam was outstriking him so bad, why ride the takedowns and submissions so much every time you are in the slightest bit of trouble? He feared Dustins striking and was getting outstruck otherwise there was no need to insta resort to "oh shit go for takedown" cause he got touched. Like please think before you speak.
@@MartialArtsFanatic1he busted Dustin up as well lol, Dustin cut him with an elbow. Islam had more significant strikes and higher accuracy on all strikes. Pipe down
hey dummy, that's cus this guys always so close, real og's that have been watching UFC for a long time get that, not just dorks like u who started watching during khabib's era.
@@Frxnk_ttv His point is clear, Anyone Islam fights even if it was my taxi driver, the haters will ride Islam's opponent so hard and will root for him like never before.
Islam....you hv shown Fantastic performance. Proud of you. Eventhough islam is the winner, he looks very humble, not selfish. This is truly reflecting islam religion. Hope dustin could continually interact with islam makhacev.
Both where great tonight. And dont get me wrong brother. Islam is a great religion, but alot of people are also hating the islam religion and then people say; dont bring religion to it. Keep the islam religion out of it. Also in this case i think we should keep the religion out of it, wether its good or bad. This is about fighting. Its not always have to reflect about religion. The way you say this meens people who are cristian, buddheist or atheist are selfish and are not humble? In my eyes every good human being should be humble and not selfish. If we want to keep religion out of it then dont bring it into it, unnecessary, wether good or bad. It provokes unnecessary conversations about religion while we brothers, are here for the fighting.
What a fight Machačev vs Poireier was. I think one of the best fights ever. Top of the top fighters with a mix of emotions to both sides. Machačev is the best, the final boss of the game to beat, and I always follow him. Him and his team are always fantastic. I think just Machačev had some problems, maybe the weighting cut was something tough, and he didn’t recover well. But no matter what, he always wins. But Poirier, wow. It’s incredible how he matured as person and as fighter through the years, in this fight he had the light in his eyes. He was there just to his best, period. Confident and very focused. How he handled Machačev was crazy. At this point no belts are important to Poirier, even if he has it or none, he will be forever be a legend of the UFC. Congratulations!
I agree with Islam here, He shouldn't have been worried about Dustin striking and respect it that much, He was doing great on the stand up against arguably one of the best boxer in the UFC.
Dude if he comes back and loses it'd spoil this amazing send off. It's not that he's not good enough to hang around with these dogs, or that he wouldn't be able to climb back. It's missing years with his family. You have to imagine another title shot would take 2 maybe 3 years minimum. Fighting killers where he could get clipped like anyone. How can you tell a father would you trade 3 years with your daughter for a maybe? I love dustin. I'm heartbroken he didn't win, I want him to have the belt so bad, but I don't think he can against Islam. He did so much better than I thought he would. I'm shocked islam didn't finish him the first round, then to escape 4 more times impossible positions. Unless he moves down, I don't think he gets the belt from islam. Because islam is also going to get better.
@ShaariAmin-zn4kl he got his nose broken by a clash of heads and persevered, and he went out even though he tapped. Tell me you've never been in a fight without telling me 🫵🤡
Tyson Fury made 150 million for his last fight, Makachev made 500, 000. U.F.C. Underpaid Fighting Championship. DW thinks grown men slapping each other in the face is sport. Idiocrcy.
False, Dana said in 2008 that every champion will walk away with at least 1 million after every title fight. Mighty mouse confirmed that. Only the top 8 boxers per weight class make over a million a fight
Ufc have monopoly on mma , thats why. They have created a brand , and as long as ufc is alive, mma fighters pay will stay low. Mma Fighters need to boycot ufc and put them out of business, only then can the fighters have a bigger piece of the pie
Agreed power slap blows. But the ufc is building a juggernaut, putting up performance institutes in countries across the world. Boxing is the exact opposite and flies from ppv to ppv with no goal other than the money grab. I'm not saying the pay structure for ufc is good as is, i do think fighters should be paid more. But i think if the ufc modeled after boxing starting tomorrow, it would be horrible for the sport
@@r8m8s8 yeah i do support his retirement i was meaning that he shouldnt retire until he completes his dream of the world title because it will eat away at him he has been so close so many times but his cardio is through the roof for his age. if he done fair enough jmo
I dislike both but more Islam cause fighters who main cuddling instead of standing and banging then they're boring af. Atleast DP wanted to fight and not cuddle like Islam did.
Dagestani guys really believe MFer means you and your mother are having intercourse… for Dustin to tell Khabib sorry and Islam just shows his heart. I’m proud to have trained and been inspired to do MMA because of Dustin 10 years ago it saved my life from drugs and all type of trouble. True hometown hero for us in MS and LA
I had a huge back and forth debate with a work colleague of mine after I flippantly said MFer, he ended up talking me around to his way of thinking. We don’t say the N word because of its origin regardless of how flippantly people do use it, it still represents what it represents. The origin of MFer is exactly that, regardless of how it’s lost its meaning over time
Big cultural differences. In US it's just a word, can even be used as sort of a compliment under certain circumstances. In Russia, and especially in places like Dagestan, you mention a mother, you better be ready to fight. Parents are sacred, especially mothers. In US we make mama jokes all the time, in other parts of the world you make a mom joke, you better have a good health insurance.
It's about respect that Muslims and Dagestanis in particular have for their mothers, that parents' names should never be associated or dishonoured by any foul language whatsoever, be it literally or figuratively. It's how one honours parents.
I was born in the late 80's and remember MF'r being a fighting word growing up in Chicago till my teens...only till gangsta rap made it cool did it loose it's bite and became harmless lexicon. It's the same in Asian countries, Middle East, and Eastern Europe. The city people in those countries are more understanding of the global mono culture, I'd still not take the chance and offend them unnecessarily.
Dustin's post fight octagon speech was great, his daughter gradually starting to cry got to me and made me feel for him...I always thought his "good guy" thing was an act but it seems like he's genuinely a nice guy
Dustin did such a good job. He got out of some nasty positions. I might be mistaken, but apart from Volk, I think he did 2nd best against Islam of all time. I don't think I've ever seen someone survive against him that well. Also shows how good Islam is. He seems unstoppable at this point
Why isn't anyone even mentioning that headbutt that messed up Poirier's nose.... Dustin was doing very good. No shame in losing that fight. That was an epic fight.
The haters already making excuses for Dustin loss on Instagram and Twitter, I love Dustin but did they just forgot that Islam was fighting with a staph infection?!
They are soooooo MAD, I have seriously seen some these dustin *fangirls* literally complain about Islam going for the ground and tapping him out, it’s unreal the excuses they are making 🤣🤣🤣
I’m a 100% Islam fan, but Dustin please don’t retire yet, you still have a couple of years, and you fought amazingly tonight. You have what it takes to be the champ. Third time’s the charm 💎 fans really wanna see you get that belt. Islam probably has a couple more lightweight defenses before moving up. So Dustin only has to beat Arman, and then fight for the belt with the next guy.
Jon walks out everytime bud, whos Tom fought thats even close to Jon seriously, Tom talks big but hes hasnt fought 1 time since winning his "Belt" and hes healthy so wats his excuses?
huge porier fan this is for sure a depressing fight can’t say it wasn’t made known this would happen but the result of this fight still is a legacy for dustin, i want him to stay but respect him if he retires 💎
Dana is getting very delusional with Jones story. Now he is the best athletes in the history of sports! The fact that he's a cheater should exclude him from the MMA conversation let alone the history of the sports.
Dana: “yeaaahhh Jon has taken loads of PEDs throughout his career, been caught for only a fraction of em, but he’s definitely the best athlete ever. Oh…the roids? Let’s just not worry about that minor detail.. Inswear that he would’ve been just as good without em, which is why he took em.. because he’s so good, that he figured the PEDs would actually decrease his ability and strength” 🤦♂️ For those who are new to Combat sports… IT’S ALWAYS BEEN THE MOST CORRUPT “SPORT” OF ALL! These ppl are scumbags.
Max v Olivera for the BMF belt Olivera is the only dude worthy of that title Dustin says he doesn’t know what he would fight for.. legacy my man!! Him v Colby would be a bangerrrrr and they got that beef
Very impressive finish by Islam. However I am surprised that he kind of got tired after round 2.. I think he deserves to be p4p king but don’t think he will match khabib’s dominance simply because of his gas tank. Being a huge fan of khabib and Islam I have accepted Islam as a completely separate fighter to khabib and won’t have the same expectations anymore. Great fight tho, kept me on my feet the whole time lol
@@eza_ahm He also cuts extreme weight. I know Khabib cut massive weight as well. The comparison doesn't make total sense to me. Islam is a better striker than Khabib and has power. Khabib was nothing but mauling his smaller and inferior opponents on the ground. I mean look at Khabib in retirement. I doubt he could make 170 now without at least 3 months notice. He's way over 200 pounds as a coach.
I don’t think he was tired man. It’s just a complete difference in fighting style. I just think we don’t know how good khabib really was until he retired. Khabib always shot the foot and that allowed him to be flawless. Couldn’t be touched. Also the way he understood fighters weight , and was able to place it everywhere was why people were so ragdolled by him. Tonight showed Islam is a completely different fighter. He likes to fight on his feet. Khabib was getting mad at that. He doesn’t just grapple. I know khabib was a dominant striker too, but islam is just a more well rounded fighter. But grappling and wrestling , nowhere near khabib. But that submission in the end was insane.
Khabib is more patient. He dont rush to gas out for submission instead of press the opps, smashing on the ground, drain opps battery. When he decided to do submission, its just happened. Thats why he never get brush like Islam.
khabib was about 5 levels above everyone else. cardio, chin, ground n pound, does submissions when he chooses not when he's given an opportunity. if khabib really wanted to finish any fighter in 3 minutes, he could do it. he chose to prolong many of his fights.
Dustin! I hope to see the gold getting wrapped around ur waist one day! But if that day never comes, remember this-u hv never been a disappointment to us fans. It was always a pleasure watching you fight and never give up. It was wonderful to know what kind of person u r. In and outside the octagon. It's been a pleasure becoming ur fan over the years!!! Once a BMF, always a BMF mate! I wish you all the goodness in the world and may u achieve whatever you want. And love to your family ❤ We won't mind watching u n Connor going one more time though 😜
I was rooting for Dustin, and he showed out, but man, Islam is a special fighter. It's so impressive how he's carved out his own lane from Khabib. He may not be as heavy on top with ground and pound, but his hands are far more natural in the standup, and his trips/submissions are so slick. Much respect, that ankle pick was so clean.
I couldn't disagree more, we definitely don't need a new president of thee ufc. Dana is a G, he's the only owner/rep in all of sport who isn't bought and paid for. Nfl, nba, NHL, mlb, etc, all those clowns care more about being politically correct and not getting "cancelled" above all else. Dana is 1 of 1, when he steps down that will be the end of it. It's refreshing to have someone like Dana be real and not suck nuts up to all the P.C. and woke bullshit this world has become. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Jon jones got done for PED, he can’t be in the conversation of the GOAT just as that MAN who competed in the women’s swimming tournament. Dana just loves him cuz he got nowhere else he can make money unlike Francis Ngannou
@@josephdover198 I’m talking about this fight night buddy, not any other fight. Islam was most definitely not 190+ tonight, but Dustin was for sure about 177-180.
@@tmannfaeva4225 I never said Islam was 190+ in the cage. I said he walks that heavy. Dustin was not 180 in that cage. Dustin was not bigger than Islam. Sit down kid. Years ago when Dustin won the interim title against Holloway at the post fight press conference he said he felt a little heavier than Max and stated his in cage weight was 175. That's not unusual at all because everyone cuts weight. Tibau used to step in the cage at 183 after cutting to 156. Geoff Neal against Ian Garry was 200 pounds. The fight night weights were released. Cost was 214 against Romero and 215 against Whittaker. Alex Pereira stepped into a middleweight bout at 219 pounds before he even fought for the title and he overcut by 2 pounds coming in at 184. Sit down kid at no point has Dustin been bigger than Islam and it didn't start tonight.
@@dmdm5339 I said exactly that! I was responding to the absolute fool that said Dustin was bigger than Islam. Pipe down, son. No one in the UFC lightweight division weighs more on fight night than Islam just like no one with the exception of juiced Tibau weighed more than Khabib in that division. They're both weight bullies that walk around significantly heavier than even welterweights like Covington. Thank you for pointing out verbatim what I just said.
Every pre fight press conference he says we are going to make each other bleed for you guys. Fight comes and nobody bleeds. He either backs up and jabs or walks forward and jabs. He did at least mix in some kicks this fight
Was never much of a Diamond fan til last night. He is my example of what every UFC fighter needs to bring to the table. He has so much pride and the will to win and that is what we live to see. Even if he is never champion i am gonna still put him in my all time goats. He earned it.
lol no it's quite cringe. Jon Jones lost to a total bum that can't buy a win in his last light heavyweight fight. Reyes has done nothing except get knocked out since. Jon has one heavyweight fight against an absolute bum in Gane with no ground game whatsoever. Zero percent chance that Gane accepts that callout for the France card in September against Almeida. Gane will be taken down in about 6 seconds and choked inside half a minute.
The reporters drilling Dustin about the retirement are SCUM. You have done everything in the sport Dustin. God speed doing what ever is next for you Sir!

People hating and booing Makhachev all night was almost as gay as Jon Jones ducking unifying the belt (with new interim champ and #1 ranked pound for pound contender Tom Aspinall) like the black death and suddenly pretending like people have to see a Jones v Pereira fight before they die. Islam showed up and showed out in true fashion and put the smesh on your boy.. and Jon dont want none of our new heavyweight king. Hed rather retire than have to prove himself against anyone whos actually competition to him.
@@Joseph-Mullins hes doesnt need to >unifiy with the participation belt
“When jones is currently fighting” is a huge stretch💀 at least Islam doesn’t duck contenders
100%
I don't think you can have 13 championship defenses as a duck 😉 . Also it is his right to pick the biggest fights with his status. People really found out about Tom because he beat Sergi. Jon Jones beating Tom absolutely does nothing for him. His resume is filled with straight elite competition.... Tom is just another. Stipe on the other hand is widely recognized, and is a fight that legit makes sense if your Jon Jones. Both financially, and resume wise. When Jones beats Tom if they fought then you will look back, and just see Tom as another body. He ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING. Stipe no matter how old is a certified legend as the best ever HW in the UFC.
@@ShaDusK Then vacate the belt and fight him as just a normal heavyweight bout. If you have the belt, you should fight the interim next, period. Anything else is ducking your responsibility to unify the belt
@@ShaDusKYou're literally what's wrong with the sport 😂
@@ShaDusK Stipe is in his 40's now 😂 no one is gonna buy that fight. And Jones couldn't even handle Santos or Reyes, he ain't the goat
Great performance by both fighters. What a finish in the 5th round by pound 4 pound king.
Who's your p4p?
In the UFC now, I would say Alex Pereira
Of all time I would say the all-Mighty Mouse, Demetrious Johnson

Shout out to Porier. When he was younger I couldn't;t stand the dude. When he fought McGreggor I gave him no chance. He has since become one of my favorite fighters. He's a polite savage with the heart of a warrior. Respect to a legend. Hope he rides off in the sunset
He was a boy when he started in the UFC and he grew up to be a father and a solid man, its perfectly normal part of maturing. I mean, remember what you were like when you were 18-22 and tell me you weren't a lil know-it-all arrogant punk, I certainly was.
I have so much respect for Islam and Dustin. Both show the heart of a Lion and are class acts. Someone had to lose but the both gained respect.
Islam out struck Dustin
Haters don't want to admit how good Islam is.
No he didn't, ROFL, Dustin busted him open, what crack are you smoking? Its all about DAMAGE when it comes to striking. Pansy glove taps get fuck all points. GET A CLUE. Dustin had the harder shots. Credit to islam for whipping out a darce with 2 mins to go but it's only because he feared for his life as Dustin put it on him bad in the rounds and with how well Dustin was defending those takedowns, Islam was definitely fearing he'd get KOed, you could see it on Islams face, as its that same deer in headlights look he had in later rounds against volk. Dustin was landing more and more and wad outstriking him. You say he outstruck dustin when round 1 there was no striking and he just held up the entire round with submission attempts thay never even looked threatening (dustin defended them perfectly) Rd 2 and 3 islam landed some combos but nothing that hurt dustin at all, they were mostly love taps. The only thing that actually hurt dustin was the head clash. To say he outstruck Dustin is idiotic. Dustin was landing the harder shots in the entire fight and im sorry but volume does not beat damage caused. If you love tap me 10 times but it does fuck all and I hit you 3 times but bust you the fuck open, im ahead on striking. People on here are fucking daft. Dmg is the key criteria and only Islam was the one busted open. In the last round he held onto that leg for dear life as Islam knew he was done if he didn't, he had taken too much dmg from dustin and that knock out was coming. Everyone knows it. He needed the submission then and there as he was gassed, and bleeding bad. Otherwise Dustin would of finished him as Islam was done and he knows it. That was a submission out of desperation, not domination cause he knew he would lose if the fight went on any longer, he was getting hurt fucking bad. If islam was outstriking him so bad, why ride the takedowns and submissions so much every time you are in the slightest bit of trouble? He feared Dustins striking and was getting outstruck otherwise there was no need to insta resort to "oh shit go for takedown" cause he got touched. Like please think before you speak.
@@MartialArtsFanatic1he busted Dustin up as well lol, Dustin cut him with an elbow. Islam had more significant strikes and higher accuracy on all strikes. Pipe down
Because a lot of people think him and his team is on roids
He only has success in the striking due to the takedown threat.

Eventhough islam is the winner, he looks very humble, not selfish. This is truly reflecting islam religion. Hope dustin could continually interact with islam makhacev.
Both where great tonight. And dont get me wrong brother. Islam is a great religion, but alot of people are also hating the islam religion and then people say; dont bring religion to it. Keep the islam religion out of it.
Also in this case i think we should keep the religion out of it, wether its good or bad. This is about fighting. Its not always have to reflect about religion.
The way you say this meens people who are cristian, buddheist or atheist are selfish and are not humble?
In my eyes every good human being should be humble and not selfish. If we want to keep religion out of it then dont bring it into it, unnecessary, wether good or bad.

Dustin can retire in peace now, was a great showing. Heal Up, live life.
What a fight Machačev vs Poireier was. I think one of the best fights ever.
Top of the top fighters with a mix of emotions to both sides.
Machačev is the best, the final boss of the game to beat, and I always follow him. Him and his team are always fantastic. I think just Machačev had some problems, maybe the weighting cut was something tough, and he didn’t recover well. But no matter what, he always wins.
But Poirier, wow. It’s incredible how he matured as person and as fighter through the years, in this fight he had the light in his eyes. He was there just to his best, period. Confident and very focused.
How he handled Machačev was crazy.
At this point no belts are important to Poirier, even if he has it or none, he will be forever be a legend of the UFC. Congratulations!
Learn English bro. And belt is the only thing that matters. If it’s not for belt Dustin won’t even fight he just said it.

It's missing years with his family. You have to imagine another title shot would take 2 maybe 3 years minimum. Fighting killers where he could get clipped like anyone. How can you tell a father would you trade 3 years with your daughter for a maybe? I love dustin. I'm heartbroken he didn't win, I want him to have the belt so bad, but I don't think he can against Islam. He did so much better than I thought he would. I'm shocked islam didn't finish him the first round, then to escape 4 more times impossible positions. Unless he moves down, I don't think he gets the belt from islam. Because islam is also going to get better.
Let him quit if he wants. Don’t be that kind of fan.

Tyson Fury made 150 million for his last fight, Makachev made 500, 000. U.F.C. Underpaid Fighting Championship. DW thinks grown men slapping each other in the face is sport. Idiocrcy.
False, Dana said in 2008 that every champion will walk away with at least 1 million after every title fight. Mighty mouse confirmed that. Only the top 8 boxers per weight class make over a million a fight
Ufc have monopoly on mma , thats why. They have created a brand , and as long as ufc is alive, mma fighters pay will stay low. Mma Fighters need to boycot ufc and put them out of business, only then can the fighters have a bigger piece of the pie
Agreed power slap blows. But the ufc is building a juggernaut, putting up performance institutes in countries across the world. Boxing is the exact opposite and flies from ppv to ppv with no goal other than the money grab.
I'm not saying the pay structure for ufc is good as is, i do think fighters should be paid more. But i think if the ufc modeled after boxing starting tomorrow, it would be horrible for the sport
@Kurdmanji1996 good luckwith that. Ufc fighters putting ufc put of business. You sound like a college idiot

Dagestani guys really believe MFer means you and your mother are having intercourse… for Dustin to tell Khabib sorry and Islam just shows his heart. I’m proud to have trained and been inspired to do MMA because of Dustin 10 years ago it saved my life from drugs and all type of trouble. True hometown hero for us in MS and LA
I had a huge back and forth debate with a work colleague of mine after I flippantly said MFer, he ended up talking me around to his way of thinking. We don’t say the N word because of its origin regardless of how flippantly people do use it, it still represents what it represents. The origin of MFer is exactly that, regardless of how it’s lost its meaning over time
Big cultural differences. In US it's just a word, can even be used as sort of a compliment under certain circumstances. In Russia, and especially in places like Dagestan, you mention a mother, you better be ready to fight. Parents are sacred, especially mothers. In US we make mama jokes all the time, in other parts of the world you make a mom joke, you better have a good health insurance.
It's about respect that Muslims and Dagestanis in particular have for their mothers, that parents' names should never be associated or dishonoured by any foul language whatsoever, be it literally or figuratively. It's how one honours parents.
I was born in the late 80's and remember MF'r being a fighting word growing up in Chicago till my teens...only till gangsta rap made it cool did it loose it's bite and became harmless lexicon.
It's the same in Asian countries, Middle East, and Eastern Europe. The city people in those countries are more understanding of the global mono culture, I'd still not take the chance and offend them unnecessarily.
They're all inbred so it's really a possibility. Usually they stop at first cousins

Very impressive finish by Islam. However I am surprised that he kind of got tired after round 2.. I think he deserves to be p4p king but don’t think he will match khabib’s dominance simply because of his gas tank. Being a huge fan of khabib and Islam I have accepted Islam as a completely separate fighter to khabib and won’t have the same expectations anymore. Great fight tho, kept me on my feet the whole time lol
He had infection and probably taking antibiotics
@@eza_ahm He also cuts extreme weight. I know Khabib cut massive weight as well. The comparison doesn't make total sense to me. Islam is a better striker than Khabib and has power. Khabib was nothing but mauling his smaller and inferior opponents on the ground. I mean look at Khabib in retirement. I doubt he could make 170 now without at least 3 months notice. He's way over 200 pounds as a coach.
had staph, if he didn’t he would’ve denied it at the presser
I don’t think he was tired man. It’s just a complete difference in fighting style. I just think we don’t know how good khabib really was until he retired. Khabib always shot the foot and that allowed him to be flawless. Couldn’t be touched. Also the way he understood fighters weight , and was able to place it everywhere was why people were so ragdolled by him. Tonight showed Islam is a completely different fighter. He likes to fight on his feet. Khabib was getting mad at that. He doesn’t just grapple. I know khabib was a dominant striker too, but islam is just a more well rounded fighter. But grappling and wrestling , nowhere near khabib. But that submission in the end was insane.
Brotha brotha your grappling was good brotha!
This fight with Porier showed that Islam isnt close to Khabib. He has been hurt and lost rounds while Khabib was never even cut.
Khabib is more patient. He dont rush to gas out for submission instead of press the opps, smashing on the ground, drain opps battery. When he decided to do submission, its just happened. Thats why he never get brush like Islam.

You know it wasn't the best night what a majority of questions to Dana were not about tonight's fights
Never expected Dustin to perform that good I was impressed
This all answers that khabib was on another lvl
khabib was about 5 levels above everyone else. cardio, chin, ground n pound, does submissions when he chooses not when he's given an opportunity.
if khabib really wanted to finish any fighter in 3 minutes, he could do it. he chose to prolong many of his fights.

Once a BMF, always a BMF mate! I wish you all the goodness in the world and may u achieve whatever you want. And love to your family ❤
We won't mind watching u n Connor going one more time though 😜
I was rooting for Dustin, and he showed out, but man, Islam is a special fighter. It's so impressive how he's carved out his own lane from Khabib. He may not be as heavy on top with ground and pound, but his hands are far more natural in the standup, and his trips/submissions are so slick. Much respect, that ankle pick was so clean.
Dana's nuts. No way Jon Jones is pound for pound best in the world. We need a new president of the ufc and a new, legitimate, heavyweight champion.

Years ago when Dustin won the interim title against Holloway at the post fight press conference he said he felt a little heavier than Max and stated his in cage weight was 175. That's not unusual at all because everyone cuts weight. Tibau used to step in the cage at 183 after cutting to 156. Geoff Neal against Ian Garry was 200 pounds. The fight night weights were released. Cost was 214 against Romero and 215 against Whittaker. Alex Pereira stepped into a middleweight bout at 219 pounds before he even fought for the title and he overcut by 2 pounds coming in at 184.

Every pre fight press conference he says we are going to make each other bleed for you guys. Fight comes and nobody bleeds. He either backs up and jabs or walks forward and jabs. He did at least mix in some kicks this fight
There were way worse fights in the prelims also costa ran away all the time even sean was dissapointed
Sean is the man. That guy don't give a fuck about anything. He sais what he thinks and sais what people think. I respect that dude
Was never much of a Diamond fan til last night. He is my example of what every UFC fighter needs to bring to the table. He has so much pride and the will to win and that is what we live to see. Even if he is never champion i am gonna still put him in my all time goats. He earned it.
I see what u did 😂😂 Pride month poirier
My fav press conference. Dana showing love to Jon Jones is always awesome
lol no it's quite cringe. Jon Jones lost to a total bum that can't buy a win in his last light heavyweight fight. Reyes has done nothing except get knocked out since. Jon has one heavyweight fight against an absolute bum in Gane with no ground game whatsoever. Zero percent chance that Gane accepts that callout for the France card in September against Almeida. Gane will be taken down in about 6 seconds and choked inside half a minute.
Unfortunately the salt will continue. They still won’t STFU about Khabib and Islam.
You mad? Why shouldn't people not talk about them after what they have achieved???
Khabib lightweight goat
Lmao wtf they're the goats of the lightweight division what do you expect
The reporters drilling Dustin about the retirement are SCUM.
You have done everything in the sport Dustin. God speed doing what ever is next for you Sir!
People saying how khanib was so great doesn’t realise it was not the same Dustin . He learned alot and worked hard . Great fight … Makhachev is the man .
DP is a fucking legend and true warrior.
Thanks for the video, UFC
