"I used to fight for myself, now I fight for my family" Words from a grounded, focused, driven-man. Great win Dustin 🤙🏽😁
Revelation12 2017 mad respect to you for this comment
So great
His output tonight was INSANE
interesting to see his post fight drug test results
What did they say, 200 landed in 2 rounds?
reallybadgas -- never seen anything like it. He got chopped down like a redwood, and came crashing down on the lumberjack. Insane fight.
Kit James 289 !! So insane
Dude... this was one of the best and funnest fights I have ever seen. Justin Gaethje is the definition of a guy who gives his body and his health to the sport! And I really believe this is the point where Dustin Poirier took it to the next level. During that fight I thought his time was coming to an end but man, what a badass! He pulled it off.
In my opinion, Dustin definitely deserves the tittle shot, but... Ufc won't give him it due to him not being a big money fight for the ufc. That's what ufc Is now adays
Ryan Wilson, Damnit it man.!!! I do agree.!
Poirier has been a favorite fighter of mine for a long time.!! It’s an amazing journey to watch his progression.. Truly proud of him.. he deserves/earned the next title shot..
I hope the UFC brass can see that, give him that shot.!! The Diamond.!!
NOW he deserves it u talking like he deserves it for years like khabib did come on be realistic
Whats your point? The product is made for the fans its entertainment not the olympics, you really saying you would rather see Khabib vs Dustin instead of Khabib vs Conor? I don't think so, besides I think most people would still agree Conor deserves the shot over Dustin as it was his belt that he never lost therefore it is a disputed belt regardless of his layoff, that needs to be settled as he is coming back soon.
Ryan Wilson Not sure. Khabib was a flop at 300k PPV and Tony at 200k PPV. So they should just let him fight. I bet it would do 450k. And it would be the toughest fight Khabib has ever had
Nautilus1972 check it out .. there r still mcchicken fans..werent u all extinct?
Great fight Dustin. Watching him improve has been awesome.
Real fighter. Lightweight division is by far the best division in the UFC right now. Imagine if only 2 LW bigest stars were more active (McGregor and Diaz). But anyways there is a plenty of great warriors in LW division
I'd love to see McGregor way more active at LW for sure . Id love to see Conor clear out the division just like he did to the FW division . It definitely would be difficult but Conor is a crazy individual
El Cucuy vs Dustin is well deserved. He already beat Alvarez and Justin.
No telling when Ferguson will be back though. Probably a year at least.
Outlaw cho you misspelled Khabib
bruh _ Tony is #1 contender. He should be getting the title shot. I like Dustin but he’s not ready. Gaethje fought like a moron all his life and now his chin is gone. I appreciate his efforts to make fights exciting but dude ain’t smart in the end.
nah tonys next fight should be for the title no questions asked... I think dustin wanted the rematch with alvarez, if he won that then i could see a title fight in his future
outlawCho: lolwut? So much ignorance in this comment section.
First of all the #1 contenders (Tony) only obligation is to fight the champion, just as the champions only obligation is to fight the #1 contender.
Secondly. even if that is the case, no chance Dustin with 3 wins of mid tier fighters and 1 NC deserves a fight with a guy who is currently going 10-0.
-Lastly to you specifically outlaw, you're probably the biggest idiot here. 26-0 vs 23-3.
-Khabibs least dominant match (minus Tibau who admitted to PED use during said fight) is more dominant than 90% of the rosters most dominant performance, including Tony.
-An Khabib was the #1 contender back when connie beat Alvarez for the belt. His only obligation was to fight Connie but he pussed out. Delay due to the champion being scared yet able to fight does not constitute in a proper reason to lower said fighters ranking. An Tony V lee who was like #7 certainly doesn't constitute as a proper interim belt match.

Ferguson is injured, Alvarez is 1-1 (1) in his last 3, Conor doesn't deserve the shot, he should fight Diaz. Poirier should get the shot, he's the only worthy contender that'll be ready in September. It doesn't matter if Khabib smashes him or not, Poirier has done enough to earn the shot.
Just looking at this Comment is making me remenisce on the Good Old Lightweight Prime day’s of the UFC 🤌
Dustin is a warrior and it's great to see him dig deep in an all out war and pull out the win.
what a badass.
This divison is crazy good, great video
Remember seein a documentary with dustin in it way back when he was starting out, humble dude good to see him still improvin and climbin the ranks
Ferguson & Poirier
Eric would love to see that fight!
Ferguson V McGregor for title shot
Alvarez V Poirier for next contender
they both deserve tittle shot not to say but Tony is the real champ
The Chosen One worst list I've ever seen
Erick nah, Khabib is. Tony beat Kevin Lee who was beat by Al Iaquinta. And i believe Al will give Tony a hard time in octagon.
this guy is a beast, hope you take eddie's soul next and then a tittle shot!
Has my respect. Great personality and character. That last minute of the interview says it all 👌
dustin should have went to the body more, disappointed in that. but dustin is becoming a role model of mine. what a fighter.
You certainly know how to pick your role models man. Id like to think by now everyone knows what kind of guy he is.
Dustin Poirier - a true warrior, and one of my favourite MMA fighters. Always puts everything on the line whenever he fights. He's not the fighter that he used to be several years ago. He has made some remarkable improvements in his fighting skills and cardio. More importantly, he has matured into a respectful and responsible young man. I agree with Dustin that he should be given the well-deserved shot to fight for the championship belt asap. After he wins the championship, he can avenge his earlier losses.
Great fight but unfortunately he's gonna tear both ACL's next fight for wearing sunglasses indoors. Tough price to pay.
Shawn Goodine at least he has a reason. His eyes are probably a mess and wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a little concussed. Tony is just being a douche
He has a legit reason to wear them.
what does wearing glasses inside have to do with your knee and an acl tear?
ohhhh...tony roast lol
I actually don't think that won't happen, I think he will be more aware of it because of what happened to Tony
I'm watching this a few days before Dustin's title fight against Khabib. This guy has gone through a lot, he's been overlooked several times and he's been underrated for most of his carreer. He truly deserves all the good things coming his way and I really hope he gets it done next saturday.
He already beat alvarez. Poirier vs Tony would be an extremely interesting foght. Poirier is on fire right now.
wow! Dustin just won me me over. Respect all around for this guy. And plus he is had an amazing performance. kept to the game plan and not deviate from it. and ultimately, the game plan wins it.
Bad dude. Evolving into a bona fide beast. Respect 💎
I mean you have
Such an amazing dude. Absolute beast. As classy as one can be. Absolutely deserves a title shot.
He's becoming better n better with every fight.
Super classy. 👍 Made a fan.
Such a humble guy aswell
Great Guy ,super humble ,i like his way of thinking..
I almost teared up at the end bit
Maybe I'm overthinking it, but he looks like he's in so much pain that he's probably tearing up a bit/has a runny nose. What a great fight. I've been sleeping on Dustin for years. He has my full attention now
Daniel Grozier for 12 mins? Damn!
he has a broken nose.
It's not easy to do what you love but still fall short. UFC owes him the title!
My GOD dude your stand up is insane!!!
I already knew about Dustin s slick striking & skills. I questioned his durability &toughness. Props to him man. Gaethje is hard man to get out from under when he's got you hurt. And listening to DP speak post fight. I'm a big big fan of his now. Good dude and legit AF
Hard not to love this guy, especially after seeing this.. seems like a good dude
Respect To Your Performance, Much More Respect 4 U After Your Words Diamond💯
9:37 of the video right in the feels my man. your an awesome fighter I hope you get the gold....
Im sorry 9:30 till 9:37 your the man
Ya gotta love this guy! Pure Beast
Respect to you my friend!
really great guy, excellent win, loads of respect for him
Exzellent fight and a great win !!! Thank god for fighters like Justin,Dustin and Eddie.
What a true professional and genuine guy Dustin is.
Was so extatic when he beat Conor the last couple times.
Thank you Dustin
Hes gona become an outstanding champion its people that have a tuff journey in the process of achieving this that become outstanding.
You can't hate this guy. A good fighter and humble.
Great job Dustin, was rooting for Justin but I couldnt be happier for you! Also, what a brilliant, honest assesment of his skills and the fight. Beautiful insight into a fighters mind whilst taking and giving damage. Unfortunately for him, Justins post-fight interview has 4x the views, Dustin cant catch a break :(
I take it your happy
Class act. Much respect
I think this is the fight where Dustin would have learned heart and toughness more than ever. Congrats to him for showing warrior spirit.
What a warrior
Nothing but respect for this guy!
He seems really like a nice guy. I wish him good luck 👍
What a warior 👊🏻👊🏻
Great guy and I’m definitely a fan!...I listen to him speaking about his upbringing and man it sounded tough! Love to see him go win the belt and get that money fight with McGregor!!
Amazing fight for Dustin..great job.
He absorbed Pettis swag
Great fight diamond.
if he doesn't get a title shot next, get him the Alvarez rematch. can't leave unfinished business lay to rest
He should get the shot OVER Alvarez, he fought 2 times since, Alvarez only once and sat on the sidelines ever since that win over Gaethje, he's pulling a Woodley.
Alvarez doesnt deserve a title shot. He ducked Khabib when he was a champ and ducked him after he lost belt.
Now that khabibs the champ he wants the title shot. Thats now how things work. Eddie needs to go through edson,tony,lee before getting a title shot.
i love dp but hes just not title worthy (defending type champ). kinda like forrest,, good but deff will never hold the belt for any length of time
Rabby I think in the ufcs eyes he probably is in front of Eddie because Alvarez only has one fight left on his contract, giving him a title shot would get him a lot of negotiation power they don't want him to have
He beat Alvarez
I really like Dustin. He has been tkoed twice and he keeps coming back. But honestly I don’t see him beating khabib, Tony, or Mcgregor. Khabib takes him to the ground and mauls him easily. He’s obviously not out boxing Conor. And tony is the most well rounded fighter in the division.
on point.
100% agree
same. i feel like he is better than ever. he deserves that tittle shotm
I think he beats tony, not the other two
Disagree. I see Khabib giving him a hard time, but the other two are a lot closer than people think.
What a brilliant division!?! Wow
Two top fighters, and many great contenders including this man, Mr. Poirier.
It's the exact opposite with this division, you find a hard time picking boring fights.
Never seen such class
This is the champion we deserve, entertains the fans, take risks and skilful
Now that's a role model!
Congrats ! Great fight. And he deserves this more than anybody !
Dustin you are the best in my eyes awesome fight 😤
Dustin Is legit my favorite fighter
I’ve become a big fan of Dustin after his last few fights. Love his crisp, technical striking and that he’s a dog in the cage.
God bless you Dustin
Justin was also resting when the eye pokes occurred. I don't know why people get upset with the fighter on the receiving end of an eye poke. Both replays clearly showed it.
Love this guy he’s so underated he should be getting that title shot
Well done Dustin. You are getting better every fight.
This was just what I was hoping for DP in this fight, obviously not the eye pokes or leg damage, but persevering through JG brutal attack, and finishing strong. That freakin left hand counter to that leg kick was open numerous times, maybe he could've threw it a little sooner, maybe it was perfect timing. Dustin showed improvements with his boxing for this fight. Even tho much of it seemed like sloppy arm punches, this was most likely bc he couldn't put the weight on that front leg.
Good job buddy!
Great guy!
GREAT FIGHT
What a stand up guy! Dustin Poirier is the man!
What a champ
I wasn't a porrier fan. Seen lots of his fights. Scratch that! This guy is tough as hell. Top rank for sure
Gratz Dustin, great win
I like this guay! He's elegant so elegant..
Great fight boys. Great fight.
Dustin speaks well and is genuine. Hope he makes it big. The comments are all saying Dustin would have beat Alvarez in the NC... yet he is still ranked below Alvarez. Rankings irrelevant?
savage
A Definite “Louisianimal”...!!! 👍🏻
Tough as nails, great fight buddy get back home and take it easy with your family you desrve it !
Dustin is exhausted, u can see and feel it
Great fight
Yep! Dustin Is The Truth.
Dustin is the more complete fighter, supreme boxer and defensive fighter. Justin the best leg kicks and jabs and both have the heart of a gladiator.
Really hope he got the undisputed belt. He deserves it. Great example
Poirier is a BEAUTY
Man after I voted for Justin I to be honest wanted Dustin to win in a bad ass way and he did, and I still love both fighters. Incredible fight and post press speaches.
I don't know why but I would love to see him and Max fight again
I think he have Dustin vs Khabib around September time whilst we wait for Tony to get ready. Winner faces Tony.
How can you not like Dustin poirier
He Matured
I always "liked" Dustin, but now I'm a fan.
Damn I bet that leg hurts. Good win by Dustin tho...
American top team has some excellent wrestlers and I hope Dustin can get his grappling to the next level so that he can perform well against Khabib or Tony. I actually like his chances against McGregor a second time.
I hate when people try to take credit away from a great fighter he won fair and square had him in a lot of danger and herb stopped before he was able to really put a new look to Gathjes face I wish he would have let it go another 8 seconds to see whether he could have been able to defend his self I don’t think he would of have but he coulda had some payback for the eyepokes and the 2nd was a double eye poke
Good Kid.
Or give Dustin the shot and make ferguson vs alvarez
