- Dustin Poirier returns to Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show to discuss how negotiations for a fight vs. Tony Ferguson at UFC 254 fell through and how he felt (5:05) disrespected during talks about a potential Michael Chandler bout. “The Diamond” then speaks about (6:48) the talk surrounding him and Conor McGregor, which started with a tweet from McGregor proposing the two fight for charity. Poirier talks about McGregor stating he’d donate $500,000 to The Good Fight Foundation and what he’d do with the donation. (20:54) Poirier breaks down Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Justin Gaethje and offers his pick for who wins.

for a guy who came from nothing, who's literally fought for everything he's earned and to not want an extravagant life for himself but is ready to give all that money towards helping other people out........Wow!!! I love Dustin man... The man is a diamond indeed
That's why Dana is pathetic and greedy to disrespect a guy like Dustin, especially because he has paid his dues over and over again!
Finally. Deserved re-match. Questionable hit in the back of the head. He gets on the wrong end of a lot of missed calls.
well said, his nickname suits him, Dustin the diamond
@@yowhatsmyname behind the ear is legal, and that’s where Conor hit him
@@yowhatsmyname please don’t start a stupid narrative for what could be an awesome rematch. If Dustin Porier accepted the loss for what it was then I think we all should as well. All we can do is hope that he gets the opportunity to prove he’s a better fighter.
"Does that annoy you?"
"No, I don't live in the Diaz world... I live in reality."
Loooooollllll the way he said that was hilarious
I was literally abt to comment how dope that response was! Slick
That was a Poirier 10-8 if I ever saw one.
@wutup5566 dustin would have killed nate anyway
@@I_barely_know conor couldnt kill nate what are you talking about, perhaps he would get the win but it wont be walking in the park
Idk man when he got asked about Nate Diaz he said “ he could get it to” and he sounded hella nervous about that one 😂 not conor for some reason or Tony
“I dont live in the Diaz world, I live in reality”. Best Dustin line of all time lol 19:05
💯
And that’s why over a year later Diaz is still on his mind Diaz already forget about this dude realistically🤣
I hope Nate beats him for that.
A real quote from a real dude
Nate diaz is washed up
This dude is such a good human, i have mad respect for him. He's exactly what the younger generation needs to see
Definitely.
yes true
1000% correct love this
Agreed Dustin is a great sport. Loved what he did with khabib and I love how he’s bouncing back 💯
CHANDLER MAKING MORE THAN PORIER? What a JOKE
And Chandler beats no one in the top 10. Watch.
@@elijahramos8688 i hate that dude, didn't he just get kod
@@elijahramos8688 already has. Top 10 exists outside the UFC

Chandler did the savvy thing by testing free agency.
The more times Dustin talks the more i respect him he's such a nice human being.
Hes a savage.

Get back to training guy
Same here
He’s a Diamond 👍🏼🏴
This guy is amazing.
His fighting supports his family, also he supports charities, helps children of the streets.
Nice guy.
Dustin would dominate chandler, he should not be getting paid more then Dustin
He's only being paid more to get him into the UFC think on the offers that Chandler probably had where Dustin has a contract and is probably trying to renegotiate! But I agree Dustin would outclass Chandler
chandler would get dominated by every top 5 lightweight i think. he needs to fight charles oliveira or hooker
@@joegusset5902 Hooker out points him. Dustin tkos him.
Yh I think Chandler is good but Poirier should not waste his time with a guy who is basically unranked, Poirier should definitely fight Conor or Tony
You’ve clearly never watched Chandler fight
If anyone deserves more money it Dustin poirier. Has never had a boring fight
I mean the one with McGregor was boring

@Greg & wat happened in between those two fights & after?
@Greg yu'll nvr understand tht since yu're worshiping tht Oldman beater.
@Greg what about khabib?
Sad to see UFC disrespecting dustin and tony like this :(
Nah Dustin is just a dummy.
@@StallionFernando why is he a dummy?
Well. They both fought for belts over the last year and both choked big time in the process. They should just keep their mouths quiet or else Dana will just cut them. Nuff said.
What are you referring to?
@@stefanomagaddino632 choked? Maybe you could say that about Tony but hardly, he was fighting Gaethje and cut weight twice, which admittedly was stupid. And Dustin choked by getting tapped out by the greatest grappler known to man? And Dustin & Tony are at least risk of being cut as anyone in the UFC. Your opinions are wild bro lol
I like this guy. The most honest guy in UFC.
No politics all straight talk.
“I don’t live in the Diaz world, I live in reality” what a legend.
“And in the Diaz world, that means absolutely nothing” - Goldberg voice.
But nah, good statement by Diamond lol
Lol he takes everyone one of Conors bait time and time again. Dude is far from reality.
Dustin is a legend for sure
The Diaz world involves eating seven edibles, vaping thirteen cartridges, hitting thirty dabs and smoking ten zips a day. 😤
@@sinematographynaction all while running a triathlon 😂
Dustin is one of the biggest stars in the organization and he's totally right to ask for more. He does have fight of the year contenders every time he fights as well and they're absolute wars. Give this man a little bit more! It's ridiculous that Chandler would've made more than him
@PARK He didn't duck Tony... He wanted more money. Watch the interview lol. Chandler was being offered more than him, when Dustin is having FOTY contenders every single fight and has arguably the best resume in lightweight history and has 6x the followers on social media. He fully deserves more money.
@X206Killj0yX Congrats on picking the 1 fight in nearly 4 years that he's had that hasn't been a FOTY contender
@PARK Because Conor is an easy investment. There is no risk involved with paying Dustin a bigger cut of the pie because the pie in a Conor fight would be HUGE regardless.
@@AlwaysRetr0 these Tony fan boys are idiots they look for every reason to say people are ducking Tony. Like Tony tried ducking Gaethje’s punches.
@@AlwaysRetr0 exactly. Why are people saying dustin ducked tony
Dana always tries to change the narrative that the fighter just doesn't want to fight when in reality its just them wanting more money.
Most of the time it is just about the money for sure but why do fighters always sign 6-8 fight deals and 2 fights into it the fighters complain they arent being paid fairly lol like dude you just signed a new deal finish up your contract before you start wanting more money.
Tell me, Does the UFC pay fighters less than their contract when coming off a loss?
@@Thunderfist_McBeefcake nope lol. They sure dont.
@@Thunderfist_McBeefcake Dana will happily, *_HAPPILY_* pay a losing fighter 50G's over their contract, if they put on a performance. These internet idiots, to quote DC, have no idea what they're saying.
Truth is, Dustin is just not a PPV draw. It's unfortunate for him, but that's where the money is.
You’re all wrong, that’s why fighters are upset, if they lose a fight the UFC forces them to negotiate for a lower purse their next fight. But if they win they don’t get paid any better
Pay the man his due's.
This diamond is worth its sparkle
Well said
Dustin went from "Peahead" to one of the most respected fighters in the game by both fans and fighters. Dustin has come a long way since. A true champion and good human being
what’s peahead
meds bald Poirier
@@woodinamedso3454 Dustin was a peahead, now he's a diamond
Dustin feels disrespected with the contract he received and he wanted just a little more to feel respected by the UFC. Dana is the one who didn’t make it happen. Dana’s cheap AF.
Or Dustin got greedy wanting more than his signed contract
@@Thunderfist_McBeefcake both
Dustin did not get “greedy”. He saw inferior fighters like Chandler getting more money than him and decided his worth is more. UFC constantly renegotiates contracts with fighters after they lose. Stop shilling for UFC.
@@fungunsun1 , you're infatuated with him and believe what he says, not what he does. Tony is right when he speaks and he just keeps getting burned.
Thunderfist McBeefcake nah man fighters should get paid more
Let's be honest here. Most if not everyone love Dustin Poirier. He's a huge draw and he's always giving everything he's got to win his fights. Paid in full and all around good man, Dana needs to pay him his worth
well said
@@alboreham388 He sold out Tony when Tony stood up for him
How has he not been sent an offer or contract when dana came out and SAID he offered him and conor a fight?? Did dana just flat out lie?? Geez just pay them both and let them fight in December. There is literally no reason why the UFC should not do this and give them and the fans what they want. So annoying..
@@MM-ch5gs exactly, even after Conor has already baitied him several times and Dustin falls like a idiot over and over. Dude is a gullible idiot.
Huge draw?? Thats an overstatement
the UFC is straight up disrespecting poirier and ferguson
Give this man his worth, if anyone is deserving of compensation it’s Dustin!
There's not many fighters i would pay PPV to watch in a non-title fight, DP is definitely one of them though.
For sure I agree man!
Never has a boring fight
Agreed is he really not a draw ? I’d pay to watch him fight as well
Ufc's finest fighter!
His Hooker fight was PPV quality
Not many in the UFC right now more deserving of a huge payday than Dustin, hope they get the Conor rematch done.
Facts. He has been beaten badly, came back, fought some absolute killers AND beat them. Max, Gaethje, Alvarez, Hooker, this man has one of the best resumes in UFC history. Love watching him fight.
poor Dustin. will be another fight and same result. Ferguson Vs Conor is the one they should be making it.
@Samuel Greaves i think Dustin can actually beat Conor rn
@Samuel Greaves hes grown as a fighter since then.. and anyone can say what the want but mgregor did catch once or twice around the back of the head
@@botondbakos5954 of course . I’d bet money he beats Connor.

This is exactly why there will never be a fighters union in the UFC.
Tony took a stand for Dustin but they eventually pay Dustin for the Conor fight and now Tony is left out in the cold.
Whered they pay dustin? He literally stated they havent even reached out to him.
And yeah..tony shot himself in the foot by doing 2 weight cuts before fighting gaetche.. Tony is now the peoples champ, but he shouldve waited to fight khabib.
Tony should've been more business savvy here..because we all know the UFC is pure greed, so he shouldnt have put his career on the line.
Hopefully he gets the next title shot after gaetche, but if khabib wins..in the ufc's eyes its either Tony or Conor ..and we know which one will make the company more interested.
Sad, but reality sets in.
That's why Dominance MMA exists
britain we shall see about that. I believe gaetche will drop khabib in their fight and then finish him. So who knows.
@@UnTangledUrn Him fighting Conor is the pay. He chose the money over sticking by his fellow fighter. There is nothing wrong with that but as I stated, that's why there will never be a union.
@@theguvnor3880 thanks for figuring out that mystery for the world. Didnt know Conor was the money fight.

Its very disrespectful to ufc stalwart like Tony or Dustin to be offered less money than a juice head Bellator fighter.

Which Bellator fighter you mean? And i think after the fight against Conor, doesn’t matter if he wins or not, he will earn good amount of money.
@@anonymus5667 talking about Michael Chandler specifically. Also after the Frankie fight a month a half ago or so dana bashed bellator, Scott, and cross promotional fights.

Power move by UFC, to show who's boss. Dana has to keep a big stick for some reason
Right! The top brass in the UFC isn't stupid so maybe we're outliers. Particularly with the fights DP has been in the last few years.
For real! What tf is fans thinking!!!?!?!?!?
I think they had to pay chandler a certain amount or he woulda just gone back to Bellator, unfortunately the Fertitas don’t run the UFC anymore and make things right for they’re loyal fighters
@@mindyourbusiness1934 lol power move? they aren't gonna pay someone extra for a "power move". they got him from bellator, so they had to at least match his base pay from there. he's earned his payday

"You say you like to stay hydrated on social media, WHEREDOESTHTAWHEREDOESTHATWHEREDOESTHAT come from?"
The reason why Dustin isn’t getting the money he wants is because UFC isn’t about fighters fighting anymore, it’s about fighters who can sell their fights. Dustin doesn’t talk, he comes in, does work and leaves and that in UFC’s or Dana’s eyes isn’t what they wanna see. How unfortunate but the reality we live in.
You are right. Also, I can sat for me personally that Chandler doesn't say anything that makes me want to see him fight either... so I am not sure why he was offered more money.
He ran is mouth to McGregor last time...Same result. He’s slow and boring with no real weapons. Conor is going to tune him up

It’s funny but every time I see champions from other organizations being brought to the UFC and thrown to the wolves it always reminds me how the UFC baby sat Conor! A two division champion!

Now that's a guy that knows how to talk to the press. Perfectly spoken. UFC should make this guy a commentator without question, especially when they have fighters who still fight & commentate I feel like it only makes sense for the sport.
Business is Business, there will always be financial disagreements between the company and the fighters BUT the UFC should look after the fighters that have put the blood sweat and tears in the cage for them. Offering Chandler MORE than DP is an absolute slap in the face. I can't blame DP for saying 🖕 to the UFC
God bless Dustin.. he thinks about his family.. this man is it another one I will add to my favorites list!!

Love Dustin definitely one of my favourite fighters and one of the best all round guys between him and dc Louisiana must produce a lot of people with good character,I’m sure it goes both ways as it does everywhere
I been watching Dustin since he was at that legendary press conference with him, McGregor, Jones, and DC crazy to see he's become one of the best fighters in the UFC. His next fight is going to be big for sure anyone McGregor, Justin, Ferguson, Diaz, Khabib, Chandler. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
