      Hearing this makes me think he knows it's time to retire but isn't sure how to walk away. He has a beautiful family, solid brand and overwhelming favor with the public. If he focused 100% on his business empire he could for sure reach McGregor levels with his hot sauce and everything else. All of his fans would give anything with his name on it a chance

      Not just Dustin but literally everyone that comes on! Theo has a way of disarming his guests with his zero-ego and it breaks down walls that are normally pretty well built up in these guys. And bc they're so comfortable and not worried about playing the mental battle games, we get to see that exposed underbelly and it makes for great conversation every time!

    Poirier has been responsible for some of the best fights I've ever seen. I'm a huge fan of his style. Huge power and great boxing skills, good ground game, great cardio and a heart of a champion. Most importantly, I feel like he's one of the only true Christian fighters and walks the walk in and out of the cage. In a backwards world where it's cool to be morally depraved and cocky, Dustin is a stone.

    This was a really good interview. To see how he was struggling and overcame it. And Theo is really a good interviewer. I think the reason he’s become so popular because you can tell he’s not just interviewing, but he is speaking from his heart. I don’t even know if he would’ve thought, he would be as popular as for interviewing people.

      Well, we don't have to sugar-coat it, it IS a bad thing however I agree he has nothing to be ashamed of.

I mean EVERY fight has been an absolute war and he's a staple of modern ufc. A legend in his own right, which is more than what most fighters get to say.

    Never ceases to amaze me how many people call Dustin fake. A sore winner is another funny one, like people don't love Colby or Conor when they're "sore winners"

    I wish Theo would’ve took Tony up on his offer on going to his 4 day event, it saddens me to hear he’s back on anti depressants, because I know that’ll never give him the peace he’s searching for.

    Dustin reminds me of the old Samurai way of life and exsistance in Japan, they only really lived when they fought,normal life was boring and mundane to them,sadly death was their only release. I think looking at Dustin here In this interview he looks edgy, nervous and very alert,maybe too alert,I hope he is ok mentally.
