This dude fought a fuckin crazy roster his whole career. What a legend
How did him and Tony never cross paths??
@@BeyoncesMiddleFinger2 crazy stuff tbh
i'm french and huge bsd fan but boy oh boy how difficult this fight is for me, poirier is a legend.
I'm Australian and I had to cheer against Max Holloway 3 times... I hear ya 😂
Max is Hawaiian @@izaakchater9165
Why is it difficult for you???? Aren't you just watching??
Poirier sounds like a French name so I think you’re safe!
@@izaakchater9165I think JDM can become champion
gaethje stopped the young fiziev from climbing.
Now Dustin needs to stop Benoit and then Oliveira has to follow up against Arman..
The new gen are trying to come up and they will but not just yet.. 💪💪💪
Let’s go Dustin.
He can’t stop BSD
Fiziev is 31, Gaethje is 36. They’re apart of the same generation of millennials bro.
EDIT: Gaethje is 35, not 36.
@@jamaicanloneanimal8224big difference in fight years dude
Dustin is getting hurt bro
@@leeweston2949yeah although it's only a 5 year age difference, and should be in the same Generation, they aren't. Justin has been fighting MMA longer, making it a 10~ difference in actuality.
“He earned his crack at the top of the division and that’s just how it goes”- Dustin the Diamond Poirer
He believes in respect and fairness. A warrior regardless of the result Saturday.
Yeah thanks
@@GengoSenmonhahahahaha ok.., watch any of his wins. Dude is the most fake and disrespectful fighter on the roster
Thanks cinema sports! Can you repeat the rest of the interview now?
@@GengoSenmonmore like a made a scene and Dana brought the check book
This guy is my favourite fighter.
Super straightforward as always.
A man's man.
True gentleman.
A true nice lad. Respect to the fellow i reckon he comes out on top
My thought exactly. Well said
The amount of hate dustin gets for doing literally nothing is insane. Dude is one of the most humble motherfuckers. He's already set and he's out here fighting still because he wants to.
right!!
Who hates on him? I think he's a legend
Dustin doesn’t deserve hate, he’s a straight shooter and legend of the sport
He’s scared of Colby 😂 I don’t hate the guy but to say he’s not is just a flat out lie
Wtf hate does he get? Stop spreading bs. There will always be trolls for every fighter but for DP he barely has any hate. Stop the cap for likes 🤦
Top quality questions from the journalists and smooth responses from Dustin as usual
This is an underrated comment! Big facts!
Paid the cost to be the Boss
They kept asking about him saying it was canceled bro got annoyed
It's crazy to me not a single journalist even thought asking about the "french connection" between these two fighters, Poirier being from the most french part of USA, being closed to the cajun community and having a "Fleur de Lys" tatoo on his hand, one of the most iconic french symbol, it sucks nobody cares about this whole background between these two
@@YOUENNNNlol be real. Dustin was upset and said ok when the paycheck looked right. its all about money for Dustin now. since he will never touch the belt
Dustin is a legend
Guru owns him.
@@SatoshiShintoMegurutard alert
@@SatoshiShintoMe you live in your mother's basement
Legend of nothing
dude better hope not for a gust of wind on the night
dustin is lowkey excellent on the mic. he’s well said
Really curious to see who takes the win tonight…
Between *Dustin v. Benoit* & *Chito v. Sean*
I love how serious he is. He really carries himself like a badass, which he is
I don’t think I could handle another Poirier loss. Please MMA gods, be with Dustin 🙏
Real.......
Only one god.✝️
Charles beat the crap out of Dustin, Benoit will knock him out
@@holy_gemyou're insulting him a bit with that name. explain it to him.
@@CrawlingNYourSkull1you ain’t from the swamp!
Dustin a real OG - go get em Diamond
Diamonds are formed under pressure brother 💎
I can't NOT read Benoit Saint Denis without Arthur Morgan's voice in my head.
Dutch?
Love this comment ❤
Boyyyy
I’m French and curious how this fight will go but man, Dustin Poirier is one CLASSY CLASSY guy. So inspiring. May the best fighter win!
I am French and was in the military so I have to go with Benoit. But damn is my heart torn apart. Huge respect to both warriors, let's feast on Saturday !
Being French is worse than trans.
Benoit god of war is so overrated
The Frenchie will quite.
@@raymondaloni2309 I wouldn't bet that at all if I were you
@@badoundiaye5624 I think not. He has a strong warrior mindset and good sportsmanship. So does Dustin.
We in France respect both and you should too.
Ofc we'll be cheering for Benoît Saint-Denis but as you can see in the comments most of us were cheering for Dustin before and like him because of how respectful he is. Both have kind of the same profil.
Short hair means he won’t have his tick of adjusting it during the fight.
Now as long as he fixed his shorts he can focus on the fight
The shorts thing drives me crazy too, but it’s a moment where he relaxes and releases tension I guess
ants -> pants
Exactly what i was thinking when i see the haircut!
He fights in slip this time.
his shorts are fine I think it's just an old habit he has from street fights he's turned into sort of a reset on his stance- it's not great because he's dropping his hands way down periodically but he's kind of adopted the tick into his rhythm. It'd be interesting to see what would happen if his shorts were too short to do that- he'd probably do it anyway haha
Dustin is just so straight forward, so real. I root for BSD but you just can't hate this guy, i'm so happy this fight is happening
If by "real" you mean a loser like every other normal person than yes.
@@GapModel1 What are you on about bro
@@GapModel1ya wtf u yappin about buddy
@@trapboy206you can't read? If you can and disagree, make a logical argument and give reasons. Please don't take the name calling route, it's unintelligent and a waste of time. Also if it's just a FEELINGS thing and that I'm not actually wrong but I just hurt your feelings than........................ I mean there are many reasons to like a fighter but one of the biggest reason is how much you can relate to them and fighters like Dustin, Nate Diaz, Tony, Charles, etc have that because they are very beatable, very imperfect with a very normal or less than normal up bringing. These fighters are also refer to as very "real" and many fans like them because those fighters make the fans feel like the fighters are in the same level as themselves. These same fans also don't really like fighters like Khabib, Islam, Jon Jones, or even DC because these guys don't make many mistakes and make the fans feel lesser. Of-course nothing wrong with any of these "feelings" but I just call it out like it is.
@@GapModel1 brother you started by callin him a loser for no reason, yet you're the one who asks for arguments ?
Weird world we live in
I watched these media interviews with MVP, Holland, Chito and O’Malley and Dustin for me is the classiest most humble guy.
This kid has always been smart and polite. He's a lot to look up too.
Kid? He’s 35. How old r u lol
@@alexha2884Lol. I think you're taking to Dana White.
Dustin looks fresh with shaved head and black top, looks meaner than having a salon cut and bright shirt on.
True, ha, I like the shaved head better.
Of course I shave my head too, so that might have something to do with it also ha
You know hes more savage with shaved head i cant wait @@Dalty7
Dying to get in his briefs too, Huh buddy?
@@timtaylor6575 Shut up..
@@PiglipsMaximus you forgot when poirier went on a STREAK with salon quality Poirier but this is just memes anything could happen lol
Pea head version of Dustin has me worried. The chin might not be there. Rooting for Dustin btw 🤞
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bruh
He was a pea head when he ko’d Bobby Green, but that was Pea Head with beard
Never realized how much Cauliflower ear he has
You’re a beginner as ufc he was a dog with this cut and his hair and his chin?? Huh
Poirier is such a solid individual morals, standards and integrity
....win lose or draw he never turned nothing down!
It’s crazy how fans just say a fighter is done after just one fight like the loss was to gaethje man, a fight either guy could’ve won but he got caught that doesn’t mean he’s all of a sudden washed up old and done with fighting
People are fickle, Justin has gotten much better since their first fight, anyone could’ve won that one. It’s mma man this is why we love this sport not sure why people count anyone out
Just cause they saw volk lose they think older fighters will lose
@@kagomehigurashi693 yeah I agree but I think it’s different with volk since he’s lost 3 of his last 4 fights with getting knocked out cold twice so I don’t think they should apply the same narrative to fighters like Dustin and stuff
@@stormcloud7885 for sure Dustin hasn’t fought in 8 months or so, volks turnaround was way too quick
Let’s just take a second tho to fucking appreciate the times we are living in man it’s been a beautiful thing to watch this last era of fighters, win or lose these dudes are warriors
Whatever happens diamond...thanks for all the exciting fights over the years. Respect for stsying at the top for so long
As a french frog, huge respect to Boss Dustin for accept this fight.
You are italian with that name
Roberto Bonaparte 😂
@@aogi7757Lol
Robbie the Frogilini
Porier body is going to be free
Saint Denis is a bad dude BUT he NEVER fought anyone even close to Dustin .. The Diamond is one of the best to EVER do it and he gets the win…
casual.
@@SatoshiShintoMe we’ll see
@@SatoshiShintoMecasual for stating facts? poiriers literally going down as one of the greatest regardless if he didnt win the belt. mans resume speaks for itself. HALL OF FAMER 💎
Never won a belt...@@VIRGINCYCLOPS
@@VIRGINCYCLOPSporier is not going down as one of the greatest. Definite hall of fame, definite legend. One of the greatest.. no.
one of the only ones, if not the last one of the real dogs from the old school style who still rocking, this guy is REAL, no BS or connor trash talk BS, this is a FIGHTER, and he is there to fight, nothing more, RESPECT FOR DUSTIN!
French rooting for BSD, but how can you not love Dustin? His background, hes ethics and what he brings inside and outside the cage. Thanks Legend.
I talk for the french community, we've got nothing but respect for Dustin, big heart, big warrior and brave af to take BSD
He ASKED for 5 rounds?!?
That's insane
Thats intelligent
Dustin have Plenty of 5 rounds experience while BSD never fought a 5 round fight
@@AB-fr2ei Well said! Still gotta be a beast to want 5 rounds tho!
I mean not really...? Why wouldn't Dustin want a 5 rounder over only 3? Especially against an up and comer
@@disturbedmoo regardless of what we are getting war
lesssgo Diamond 💎
@@disturbedmoo
Almost 70% more work. 5 rounds is a whole different training camp,changes everything. Doesn't matter if you've been there more than your opponent, it's a hella badass thing to ask for.
Poirier looks great and behind the « easy going » type of behaviour he seems really focused on the fight and it’s clear that it means a lot to him. He is not washed in any way shape or form, looked great in his last fight until the headkick. Rooting for BSD on this one as I’m french but big respect for Dustin, we all love him out here 💪 It’s going to be a fight for the ages that’ll be remembered for the years to come, can’t wait for Saturday night, may the best win!
DP is truly one of the greatest lightweight fighters in UFC history. 🇺🇲
No he’s not
@@TrollAlert-xv6qg explain
Dustin soyrier has always been an overrated priviliged north american bum. Even RDA was better than him.
Not even close to arman's, islam or usman level.
Even this french is going to maul this soyrier bum
@@FirelordTwinkyzhe has always fought strikers, except when he fought grapplers and he was mauled
Gamrot, Arman, Usman, fiziev, all better than soyrier. Even mid fighters like ismagulov or dawson can beat this soyrier bum
Peahead Poirer is back!
Say it to his face !!
@@mocarpenter8836 learn to take a joke i like dustin but its a joke dont be a sensitive bitch about it
@@mocarpenter8836bro cry more
😂
This isn’t peahead Dustin
You aren’t funny
Dustin, I don’t know you but listening to your words in this interview tells me you are a real man of character. Someone I’d be proud to call friend. Thank you for being authentic.
He’s such a classy dude. One helluva fighter but an even better human being.
It’s amazing that Dustin is still so fresh minded and the same guy he’s always been after all the wars he’s been in. Besides his nose being a little crooked the guy seems to not have taken a ton of damage even after all those wars! Not sure how anyone can not be a fan of this guy. Rooting for Dustin all day!!!
Man DP has a wholesome aura to him in this interview, but it's almost too wholesome, like he's mentally retired already.
Idk about all that wholesome aura but I agree with him seeming mentally retired. He got paid for those two Conor fights so he’s probably set
He’s just a cool calm collected guy. Humble but best believe he’s coming in like a warrior.
@@jayslice4371 I agree tbh, that aura fades when I saw him talking passive agressivley to Dan Hooker after their war. Idk, he seems like he complains a lot and is oddly very sensitive even though hes one of the best fighters on the planet
Wholesome is the most overused word of '23 and now 2024. That's not really a proper use of the word.
Thats all a act. I remember all the things that was said about him early in his UFC career. Training partners said he was terrible to train with. He constantly tried to hurt others in the gym. Was mouthy and just unlikable. Then he started acting like goody two shoes after that and the UFC ran with it. Then his wife,,, Swamp trash. How many times have you seen her with he boobs basically hanging out looking like a prostitute,, while holding their daughter.
Look at the ears on Cleetus. Holy lobes Batman
That left ear trying to escape his head
@@alexdevine760 left ear is allergic to peas😂
Nothing compared to Bo Nickal
Look at the head on you lol😅
Do you have a personality or do you just constantly quote McGregor to make up for not having one?
Porier appreciating Alvarez was lit 🔥
Absolutely. 💯
Gotta love dustin. True warrior and always respectful. Real martial artist
Dustin looks young and healthy and fresh for a fighter who has been in unlimited Wars
Dustin always has crazy fights win or lose, how can people count him out, his past fights are fights of the year, watch him fight against gaethie, chandler, khabib, hooker, mcgregor and the list goes on, be grateful fighters like him put everything on the line for the best fights
It's cause he's not a crotch sniffer
DP good at not giving these reporters the shit talk they want.
Que entrevista tan reconfortante, se escucha tan tranquilo, tan positivo con el momento que vive y como acepta el porvenir. Idolo💪
poirier is a legend and how can you not like this guy. I love this guy.
I respect Dustin so much, he has nothing to gain for taking this fight and a loss could signal the last chance he has to ever be a champ
The media is so damn goofy with these questions.
What would you ask if you had the chance?
@@Randy-pk1ndbetter questions
They are the opposite archetype of human that would take risk and strife like that of a combat sport athlete.
They are quite ratty 🐀
@@Randy-pk1ndstfu we’re allowed to criticize
@@Randy-pk1ndI'd ask if he can take off with those ears
Don’t forget Dustin has never lost 2 in a row.
Doesn’t mean anything mate
@@hahnoceits speak to his mentality you have to admit that. Clearly doesn't feel sorry for himself for very long
bro asked every question I wanna asked, great press conference hahaha
A real legend that evolve in every fight, great warrior and greater rolemodel.
Man Dustin Poirier is a legend, so many unforgettable fights, plus a classy guy outside the octagon. Super excited for his fight with BSD Saturday night.
Damn, my guy is really mentally prepared to call it off anyday, sad and proud at the same time. All the best my legend!
Big respect for Dustin. This will be one of those legendary fights that we will always remember! Cannot wait!!
This version of Dustin is more hard and bada$$ the buzz cut and non flamboyant shirt. Great for you man keep this up. 👍
The guy asking questions at the start, I hear him all the time, but he always have great shit
Justin is a great guy. Great fighter. Kudos to him. A BSD fan.
French here too, I just discovered Dustin. So it's going to be two good and respectful guys fighting. What a time to be alive
The Diamond looks sharp right now. His haircut or looks seems like resembles the young Dustin. It's gonna be banger. Again, Diamonds are forever.
St Denis is still young in the game , dont know if he is ready just yet , tough fight
Really good media performance, all legit and creative questions
the best active fighter imo. rootin for you getting gold brotha.
A rare gentleman from Louisiana 👊🏼💯
Legend.
Who?
@@BigPercNowitzkiPeahead
Guru is, yes.
Put him out cold you casuals
Dustin became someone I have come to look up to. we are the same age, but this guy is a true inspiration, champ or not !
Excited this fight. When porier fights you know it's going to be a wild night.
Audio is the real mvp as usual 😂
He's a tough night at the office for anyone. Good for him for this. Solid move.
beautiful watch brother! Kick his ass this weekend.
I love the diamond. Great fighter great guy. True warrior. One of my top guys.
The way Dustin laughed when asked about "side quests" 😂
That rose gold watch is niiiiiiceeee
Dustin's eyes shining when talking about the Alvarez fight.
Good to see that spark on a veteran.
I got mad respect for dustin. He always keeps it real.
Very interesting what is going on in the lightweight division. Young gen of fighters going up trying to topple the legends of the division and Makachev is the final boss
Looking good Dustin.
All the respect for these legends, forever.
anyone recognize what brand that t-shirt is?
Dustin deserves to be undisputed champion. I would love that for him
Dustin is one of the legends in the UFC he gotta get hall of fame in UFC
Man … Poirier is an absolute legend!! I hope he gets another title shot but more than anything else I hope he doesn’t hang around too long and doesn’t pick up unnecessary damage.
Dustin is a legend Hall of famer and one of the best lightweights of all time...
Lol he rockin the old school cut
Absolutely love this guy. I hope he gets it done.
Looks like he belongs in a war film
He could be gangster or viking💪😂🤷🏻♂️its the same
Never ever thought I'd say this... Looking forward to seeing DP fight
Wtf? All his fights are bangers
dustin studly as always.. absolute class.
I cannot believe how long and successful this man’s career has been. Amazing.
Dustin bringing up hd net... They used to have some great fights back in the day.
Dustins left ear is Definitely listening, didn't miss a word
Shout out to HDnet back in the day! They showed a ton of fights and Inside MMA was awesome.
it’s better to burn out than fade away… sometimes a person just needs to know when to call it quits.
Feels like i am in 2014 again seeing dustin like this
Hoping fro hard ko win. Like he old days
Or he might get koed like he always use too
@@deion2041he’s only been tkoed/koed 3 times in 50 fights
Man if you know Dustin as a fighter u know he a dawg. Seconds away from being champ 2 times. He got caught with a crazy shot from a guy who never throws head kicks and he even guarded but went thru his guard in a way that was more of a miracle than Islams kick on Volk. Dustin is still elite, but we all know that mentality is a big part of the game and if u think ur old and ain’t got much time left that’s how you’ll fight. I’m scared Dustin’s mental state is gonna fail em.
his mental state is fine believe me
Dustin’s been my favorite fighter for a while now💎💎
Dustin rules. Much respect to him as a fighter and a man
Dustin - a true gentleman. Wish you all the best🤞
What a resume. Class 💎
American History X Dustin Porier is one variation to fear
*Curb stomps BSD in round 4*
After that interview there is no way he won't retire if he gets beat here.
That was like watching someones last pre fight interview
Espero que Dustin gane. Los buenos peleadores son aquellos que motivan a otros a salir adelante y Dustin es uno de ellos. Además, siempre me ha gustado su forma de comunicarse, su forma tranquila de concentrarse en el siguiente reto.
Si tengo que empezar a ver las peleas de Benoit Saint Denis. No recuerdo haber visto alguna pelea de él. No sé, tal vez el wey realmente me sorprenda.
Good dude, right there
