Damn one of the most memorable ufc events imo
This man is so deserving of this. Congrats Dustin
I almost cant think of another fighter more deserving. He faced and beat top top ranked guys. He didnt slip his way up. He did it the HARD way
Yep.. Reminiscent of Bisping.. Glad Conor isnt holding up this extremely talented division anymore
Conor who? The number 3 contender who hasn’t won a fight in 2 and a half years? This Lightweight division is on another level. Dustin worked his way up legit. Unlike Conor who begs and makes excuses 🙄
Man it would be really nice to see him beat Khabib
Jimnosnow 2 1/3 Years but yeah
A class act, Poirier is a very decent bloke it seems.
I don't think he can touch Khabib, but he deserves this moment of glory. That's a very hardworking man right there. He's had his ups and downs and has been in the UFC for what, 10 years? He took the real fighter's road, fought tough competition, didn't trash talk his way up or skip the line like famous fighters do. He did it the old way. Much respect to him, he really deserves it.
Can't touch him? Lol we'll see
@@LProfesorr Actually he's the worse match up for Khabib so far. He can actually defend a takedown not like the other fighters Khabib has faced. I'm a fan of both. May the best fighter win that night.
Hell yeah wish he gets everything he wants in life
@@slicvm i agree but khabibs stand up has improved i dont think it will be a fight where we see khabib go for a constant takedown
Everyone has a chance against anyone. But in my opinion the worst match up for Khabib is Justin Gaethje with his wrestling, pressure and iron chin.
25 minutes to make the world fair.
👏
One of the best fights I've ever seen right after one of the best fights I've ever seen. I'm so happy for Dustin he deserves it.
Wouldn't go that far, the Israel-Gastelum fight definitely was a step above, but it was a great fight. Props to Dustin
can't choose either of the fights are great. Not stacked card but great fights in deed
That PPV was so worth it. One of the best I have seen. All the fighters on this card were tough as nails. I almost see a major dilemma for ufc.. how do they push and promote so much talent?
So proud of him. If you've followed him he has always been humble and cold-blooded. Congratulations!!
He truly paid for that belt in blood sweat & tears. A real champ
Took the hard way his body of work shits on khabibs path to the title
Dustin's a gangster..I love max Holloway but he beat him fair and square
he had 100 pounds on him.. lmao!
josephine i think he had 200+.... more punches in the head landed. thats what he had more. Max is only good fighting with smaller guys like for 2 heads smaller and they cant punch hard like 155 pounders. He couldnt counter becayse every punch shacked his legs :D
@Gh Hg hey bro I'm a McGregor fan too but you need to quit living in the past it's khabibs Belt hes after.
@Dab Of The Dead u mean the former 155lbs eddie alverez? Right buddy how bout show some respect
@Dab Of The Dead okay well now you sound just as dumb as him . You know damn well Connor achieve great things it doesn't take away from what Poirier
achieved tho .
Dustin and Max are good role models for everyone.Both humble warriors.The best man won.CONRATS!
Dustin Poirier is a Savage . A true Champion. And the only man that ever had to beat a current champion to win a interim Title. He should be proud af.
Salon Quality Poirier beat the Embedded Haircut Curse. What a guy. Props.
Followed him since the ‘fightville’ documentary. He is a grinder. Not the most talented fighter but true grit. Happy for him and his family and the fact that he gives back to the community makes him a good role model for kids wanting to learn mma.
Dustin making me love Robbie Lawler even more.
“Her dad is the champ”. That’s the best MMA quote ever!!!!!
Love max. Love you Dustin. You deserve it💯💯
💯 love both
"I love Max, ill fight him 5 more times" haha
This dude is the definition of a fighter. Him and Holloway.
Dustin Poirier and Daniel Cormier....... Now we have 2 Louisiana Creole heritage champs.
He took it, man. Congrats champ been a long time coming.
Amen on that one - amen on that one.
.
So happy for Dustin
Dustin's wife=🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The boy be eating guud😅
Curves
No. She’s in shape and has a nice rack but she isn’t pretty. Classic Butta face. She’s like a 6.
@@Teabagonyou i'd pay to see you talk about his wife on his face.
Dustin deserves this! 💯
Grit, toughness , skills and perseverance ! Dustin is a G!
It was a close fight. I like both Max and Dustin. They are full of humility and kindness.
tarek fezai Dude, the challenger has to show more than the champ and I didn’t see him do that. It is what it is, but I’m surprised by the decision.
Mish mash look at Max’s face, he was slurring his words in the hospital
@@mishmash3968 it doesnt say that anywhere in the rules dipshit its scored round by round
i remember watching fightville some years ago, and now he finally made it. great fight and congrats.
Never listened to Poirier be interviewed before but I'm definitely a fan now. He seems like a very genuine humble guy, and the amount of respect he showed for Holloway was awesome.Also that was a great fight, his fight with gaethje was great to, Poirier definitely has flown under the radar for me.
I'll give it to Dustin, I really thought max was gonna demolish him.
Badass and well deserved!! Happy for the man.
he Deserve it Great Win respect - I hope you hold on it long time Dustin Great Fight
Damn this is Dustin's interview but almost every question was about Max. Shows how formidable of an opponent Max is
Man Dustin is a very respectful dude. My 🧢 is off to him. Gotta love the honesty.
DIAMOND .. Dustin is an amazing fighter .. He has evolved into one of the most dynamic fighters in the game.. So happy for Diamond
Dustin earned every bit of the title. He is a true journey man. Inspirational
@Underwear Taker He is the lightweight Champ. Khabib is Suspended. Before he steps into the octagon with Dustin, in the interim, Dustin is the champ
And who did khabib beat to get that title conor and al ooh so impressive. Holloway a much tougher fight than the version of conor khabib last fought
Underwear Taker that fight was soooo long ago, if that’s your best argument then u lost it. Both guys are the champ and the winner of Khabib vs Poirier will be the undisputed champ.
Not to take away from Stylebender (because that fight was one of the best fights in UFC history) but Dustin's interim belt win is probably the most significant interim belt win ever because he actually beat a belt holding champion in Max Holloway, even though Max's belt wasn't on the line, he still beat a current champion. I just feel like Dustin's belt means a tad more than all the others. If Undisputed Belts are a 10, interim belts are a 5, but Dustin's is a 7, not quite 10..but close.
100% agreed. I have always said exactly the same thing. While it was interim, and Dustin I think subconsciously made the fatal mistake of putting all his emotional eggs in this basket (feeling like he'd 'completed his journey', like some said in this interview here, despite him also saying it was a 'piece of the world title'), it made this so significant because Max was becoming a dominant champion at the time and Poirier beat him in a weight class just 10lbs up. It wasn't like Max did a McGregor and went up 25lbs on 11 days notice like with Nate. This victory had a lot more substance with Dustin beating a then champion so close to his weight class.
Iv never been so proud of a fighter Dustin the diamond! ! ! ! Home state warrior, , !!! Dustin so proud of you brother, , enjoy it you earned it!!!! Fight of the century
Some good questions this press conference, good job on the media showing great respect for the fighters.
Dustin is a good man. Loves his family. Is respectful in victory, and humble in defeat. All the traits of a class A person. Congratulations Dustin Porier.
This dude is the man!!! Point blank... Congrats dustin im happy for him just a good all around person the selflessness this guy has is truely awesome....
6:50 was the best part of the video in my opinion. You can really feel the emotion Dustin really deserves this!
What a man ! Humble
They was stride for stride in there the difference was the effect Dustin had on Max & the lack off when reversed. Dustin did look much stronger at the weight he's filled out at 155, Poiriers defense is getting better he shells up & rolls with the punches
This guy boxing is amasing! The first time that i saw him was against swanson and he lost. But it was a great battle and since then every fight he delivers. Congrats from Israel.
So much heart shown in the cage tonight, that cage leveled up
Such a great card, & great fight! So happy for you Dustin!
One of the realest fighters in the UFC. DP as Jorge said is a dawg man. The guy has everything you want, all the tools a fighter needs. Straight up class act warrior. Tough to watch Dustin vs Max cuz you can’t dislike either. You just get to sit back and enjoy 2 bangers boy. “I love Max , I’ll fight him 5 more times” now that sounds like music to my freakin ears.
He’s a stud. Much props to him! Well deserved.
So happy to see DP with the belt! It has been a long time coming...
We didn't get to listen to him speak like that before, I like that!
Alot of DP All Night
Dustin new champion !!
Congratulations. You deserve it.!!
He has become a mature great man, not like the one I saw in the past, the guy was so immature in everything. Im happy for him, great win
Good fight Congrats to Dustin’s
I'm so happy for Dustin!
Would like to see him vs Ferguson. Keep underating this guy.
He keeps proving me wrong.
Awesome fight ! I love Max but I love Dustin too and he deserves this ! He's a beast and a class act ! Props to Dustin !
What a honorable man
He's wife wanted him to keep fighting when he wanted to quit and supported him all the way, when u think it about its usually the other way around, the wives usually want them to stop fighting and avoid getting brain damage
Wow this dudes amazing 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Who is the scrub that keeps talking about Game of Thrones?
Lance Matthews That’s what I’m wondering. Israel, yeah, sure. He may actually watch it (but he doesn’t.) Asking everyone else too? They aren’t going to be taking time to catch up on that when they train as much as they do- even if they did like dragons, incest and orgies. I don’t get it.
Lance Matthews me
i had a gut feeling dustin was gunna lose, so happy he won, he deserves it
The REAL fight is Khabib v Tony. Make it happen uncle Dana.
Just two great guys and fighters. They could fight on Saturday and go fishing together on Monday. Best wishes to both of them.
I like poirier a lot. I always felt he got snubbed, didnt get the respect he is owed. But man did he earn it the hard way. Good for him. I hope this guy makes some life changing money. Like 8 figures by time he hangs it up
Yep.. hopefully the khabib fight sells big numbers since he is getting ppv points now..
He is now, he's the UFC's official hot sauce guy.
Great fight congrats Dustin
Does anyone know what kind of brand that shirt is? That's a super cool t-shirt.
I'd have to watch again, and was rooting for poirier, but I remember thinking holloway was winning 3-1 after the fourth on points. guess the power shots is what did it.
Well done Dustin you won fair and square.
Dustins time to shine!!
Love Dustin but this one still hurts.. TO THIS DAY!!!
Dustin is a true champ and class act....
Incredible.
Dustin Real Champ Heart worrier
Dustin Poirier is the man, man
Adesanya vs gastelum
Poirier vs Holloway
= best brawls in 2019 so far
Dustin’s boxing looked damn near flawless in those early rounds.
props for this guy, he deserves this moment but i honestly don't think he'll last long with khabib
Great job Dustin.
"I have nothing bad to say about Max, he's still the champ" what an awesome thing to say....congrats Dustin! I hated this fight because I didn't want either to lose or either to loose some of their chin because it would be a dog fight...I hope Max is the same after this.
class act. how a champ should be.
these fights are so hard to swallow because you want both to win lo
I actually had Max wining but it was so close Dustin deserves it just as much, two class acts whom are all heart!!!!
You deserved that belt tonight, Champ. And you, like Max, embody the best in terms of respecting your opponent. For some reason, when you speak, you remind me of brett hart. And i mean that as a compliment.
nice fighter...respect the opponent, ure the real fighter brooo....u deserve to fight with khabib for the belt....
Which glasses is Dustin wearing 😂 those looks dopes
From the Back Ass of No Where to UFC Gold.
what a handsome guy!!!!
Wouldn't be mad if the UFC makes Poirier vs Tony for the real Interim Belt.
Tony will get winner of porier-khabib. He lost the opportunity to get the shot before that
Congrats DDP!
Dustin u deserve it bro
“Justin...Justin... thanks fa bringing us dat awesome fight to Atlanta mayne it was greyyt.”
Desmonde Johnson 😂😂😂🤷🏻♂️
My favorite fighter is Holloway but good fuvking job. Just little too big for him
Dustin I'm a fan.
killer fight
I would buy that book just because of the title.
Dustin like "It's good to be Champ"
never thought this man would get a shot after what conor did to him amazing ass tenacity
Have you seen his last like 5 fights? Dude is total different fighter compared to that fight. Definitely amazing tenacity
*Max Poirier and Dustin Holloway put up a great showing*
Mashaallha khabib Bhai from India o_28
Yeah, there's no way that was a draw - and I was rooting a little more for Max. You can't score taps the same way you score bombs. It's about damage. Incredible performance from Dustin, huge heart from Max.
I’m buying this man a beer one day.
While it was interim, and Dustin I think subconsciously made the fatal mistake of putting all his emotional eggs in this basket (feeling like he'd 'completed his journey', like some said in this interview here, despite him also saying it was a 'piece of the world title'), it made this so significant because Max was becoming a dominant champion at the time and Poirier beat him in a weight class just 10lbs up.
