Dp can hold his head up high. He only lost to the best and beat the best. Islam is just an animal.
Dustin overrated journeyman
Dry your mouth off. Got some white fluid on it
@@user-nj4qg4gx7hleast obvious rage bait
Thats right Tsarukian wont beat him. Neither will Leon of course Leon wont beat Shavkat. Now Shavkat vs. Islam is a battle for the ages.
Shavkat overrated and will not beat leon@@brandonluther80
Dustin a legend no matter if he retires or doesnt🫡
Word
not easy to improve for decades as a fighter and be at his best at 35, specially for an exciting fighter who goes to war every fight, his chin is still solid because he has really good defense
Here to pay my respects to the Diamond. Thank you for all the fights over the years they were always bangers.
Dustin gives the most honest, unflinching and just absolutely great interviews every single time.
Dustin is an awesome human being, nothing fake about him. Just pure. It would have been a tremendous story if had won. I know he'll be feeling disappointed but the man is still a winner in life.
Facts
Imagine bro gets divorced😂
@@user-uc7qb1su4ebro like why tf would anyone imagine that 😭 u getting thru tought time on ur own my guy ?
You don't know him personally. So just take the vids of him as a interview not a personally point of view
@@oduyhoang7541stop being insecure it’s a joke and Dustin isn’t your husband stop d riding 😂
I’m a hardcore Islam fan, but I have a deep respect for Dustin Poirier. He’s a true warrior and a beautiful soul. Please, don't fight again-you’ve already achieved everything. God has blessed you with prestige, a championship belt, money, and a wonderful family. You gave it your all in your last fight, so let’s hang it up on a high note, champ. Remember, Islam will eventually have to do the same, and the next champion after him will too. It’s the cycle of the sport.
Yep If dustin doesn't want to start talking like stipe miocic and nate diaz he better retire soon.
The only fights that would be good for him would be a rematch against oliviera for his legacy or fighting volkanovski too could be great for his legacy if he beats him that means he would have had wins over two of the greatest 145er in history (max, volk), than he should retire after that.
But anyway just retire dude for your health, you didn't win the undisputed belt but you beat a long list of former world champions.
, be proud of that at least.
Look at it this way, what would you had preferred? Wining the undisputed belt but in your career you couldn't beat any legends or hall of famers or former champion in your life and lost every time like Micheal bisping.......?
Or your legacy where you may have never won the undisputed belt but had killed so many legends and hall of famers in their prime in your long journey? With victories over (geathje, conor twice, eddie twice, max holloway) your were the undisputed king of violence and wars........what more do you want?
Retire with grace or stay to long and get run over by the fight game like so many fighters that came before u not capable of learning from the mistakes of the fighters of the past......
If i was his manager i would advice him to wait until islamgoes up a weight class -which he would do imo in one year or so- then the belt would be up for graps.
100% respect to Dustin!
Plus even tho poirier performed very well in this fight and his last fight as well, I re matched some of his previous fights to see if his speed and reaction timing has declined and buddy it did, he clearly is declining in speed.
I re watched his fight with (eddie, geathje, max, khabib) and compared his speed and reaction in his last two fights, poirier definitely slowed down, he was faster 5 years ago.
He can compensate his decline in speed with his experience to a certain extent but there is limite to that too...
Also it's a lil off topic but I wonder how much 302 did in ppv numbers,a journalist should ask him next time, since the ufc doesn't release the ppv numbers anymore.
@@thedaintyprincejbr3176he's not beating Arman or charles
10:15 Broken ribs, Broken nose. "I'm fine, I'm not injured, I'm all good." 😂😂 Dustin is a Dawg!
They both entered that fight with pretty bad injuries. It comes with the level of fighter
@@ramonbriones4487you say that like it’s supposed to detract from the fact that this man battled to the bone.
@@ramonbriones4487no Islam was perfectly healthy he’s NOT that guy
@@paulvalenzuela7994 He beat dustin with staph
@@vasheldiablo507Islam has Staph and couldn’t kick at all
“I can’t read good Ariel” 😂😂😂
Time?
42:30. Start a minute earlier.
That hurts. Dustin is too real.
@@emtyassasin3943It’s a reference to Zoolander my guy. “Center for kids who can’t read good”
I came here to comment the same thing and your comment is the first I see 😂
Dustin became an amazing fighter with legendary status through hard work. You gotta respect that.
Oh hello there captain obvious. It's been awhile. Wife and kids doing well?? Smdh.
Its not everyday you get someone with a heart like The Diamond baby. Much love DP you inspire us all baby.
Baby? That's a bit extreme
Good send off fight for retirement. The stakes, the opponent, the history, the performance, the adversity suffered w the injuries. He was competitive for 4 rounds and gave him a gnarly cut. Don't see a win against a lesser opponent beating this high.
I think like 85% of the people that are watching the show right now came for Dustin and Dustin only
85%? Try 99%, nobody “likes” Ariel lol😂
This should be the most liked comment here…
Idk man, Ariel seems like a normal dude & a good interviewer. Idk why he gets hate
To be honest, I listened to almost everyone today except Savanna Marshall since I have no clue who that is. But Dustin was the main event
I like arial big nose
He's got a legacy better than most champions. Legend
What a warrior! I was pretty ambivalent towards Dustin until recently but dude deserves all the respect in the world. Definition of a fighter!
Dustin is brilliantly honest in his post-fights. Class act all the way. Nothing but respect for Dustin.
“As he was Wrapping you up like an octopus”😂😂😂😂. Glad Dustin didn’t take that personally and very brave and brilliant way of asking the question from Ariel😂😂🙌🏾
Ariel's a savage
I was lucky enough to meet Dustin at a Saints Game and what you see is what you get. He’s an admirable man, beyond a martial artist. A champion at life.
Dustin is one of the realest of the real, hell of a fighter, hell of a career, & a real example of how to do it, even if it is the end, Diamonds truly are forever, ooosss
Wipe your mouth when you're done.
He’s mid
Dustin fought stylistically the hardest opponent possible, who is also the PFP #1, and took him to the brink and made him bleed. The Diamond has nothing to be ashamed of.
Ariel did everything he could to discredit Islam's win. Kudos to Dustin for not taking the bait.
Was gonna comment the same bro
Very snakey individual, you know it hurts him to see Islam P4P 1.
I don't think ariel tried to discredit islam
Dude come on what? He kept reinforcing the idea that Islam is the best in the world, what are you talking about?
he gave facts you can take those as you want, understanding that injured ribs and broken nose from maybe head acsident, sure efected last rounds , he said islam is pp
Truly a diamond that shines bright.
Love Dustin. Thank you both for letting us in on your conversation.
Truly one of a kind. Thank you for entertaining us throughout all these years, Dustin. You are a hell of a man and a role model to so many.
That was the best DP we have seen I think.... Don't retire just yet brother. Keep ya head up !!!!! 💎
The MMA fan in me wants to see Dustin keep fighting bc he's one of the best ever but the Dustin fan in me wants him to go live his life and be the great man he is doing something else. I honestly have a lot of love towards this man as a human being not as a fight. Nate fight would be a nice goodbye win though
Dustin is a true legend. I’ve watched fightville 16 times. It’s so great to see who he’s become.
He is a Champ! Win or loose you have already been a champion. THE PEOPLE'S CHAMP
Legendary-a true inspiration. A modern day rocky-he is everyman. his story, struggle and fight style resonate with all of us!
Anytime ariel asks you a question, he already knows the answer but just wants to catch you in a lie or something. He's like a cop.
You know the reason I’m pulling you over for sir ? -Ariel Hawaii
Very manipulative
I mean you have to, at least, vaguely know the potential answers of a question, to come up with a question. But he's sly for sure
@@traplord3608
I'm just goin for a drive jason
I don't understand this narrative that Hill and Buckley have tried to push. This is literally just basic interviewing skills. He's setting the guest up to tell their point of view instead of leaving the audience to assume - that's WHY the people are coming on the interview show.
Should be a LOVE 'Like' in CZcams. How can you not love Mr. Poirier's positive attitude? Thank you to all involved with this! Saw the movie so many years ago and didn't pay attention to the names. The people did stand out, but, my oh my how you have shined since Mr. Poirier since, and I thank you for being a people's Champion!
This was my first UFC event and this man’s walkout was absolutely breathtaking, he put it all out there and there would be absolutely no shame leaving on that note.
💎’s are forever.
Wow first
And this was one of the WORST Ppv Cards of all time to he honest
@@jonbaxter4063 u remember that night when everyone got knocked out. ?
Masvidal. Wei li, weidman leg, etc
Dustin has given so much to this sport already. It's time to keep the rest of u and your faculties intact for your family 👏 wasn't always your biggest fan but the way you carried yourself through the ups and downs of your career is inspirational
That was an absolutely mind-blowing interview. What an incredible guy.
Huge Fan!💯 Much Love Dustin! Whether You Retire Or Not. I Loved And Felt Grateful To Watch Your Fights! Such A Amazing Career! 💯💎
Dustin you are a class act sir. Much respect
I love this guys attitude. He's been one of my favourite fighters since he was at FW. Always been a dog and a proper man outside the cage. Guys been a staple of the game and sitting at the top for ages. Man deserves his flowers. Hall of Famer, no question. one of the best to ever do it!
bro is interrogating Dustin
Enjoy your beautiful famiy and retirement warrior. Had a blast watching you fight champ
Its been an honor pulling for Dustin all these years.
Aye shout out to Dustin, genuine dude man 4real. 👌
correct decision -announce retirement. If a fight and money are correct for you, come out of retirement. If not well deserved retirement. Hall of Famer. Absolute legend. Animal. Great dude. Much love from Ireland
I smell disloyalty to the notorious
Hey quick and real question do a lot of y'all still support McGregor
@@shaunrichards4821 lol, he definitely has lost a lot of support with his antics. A love/hate relationship. It's a tricky one for me. I will be routing for him against chandler and hope this is a turning point and he gets back on track. Everyone likes a redemption story!
@@Nathan.007 yessir hopefully the Irish kid that was raising belts and koing guys in the first round comes back. He's a big legend here in America Im rooting for him as well
This guy is the reason I got into combat sports and has been such a great role model for everyone outside of the cage. Legendary fighter, great man, and still has a lot more to give in his life outside of the cage
DP is the people champ forever! Warrior and a legend and a Hall of Famer followed your whole career and you always put one hell of a fight on every single time
Respect to Dustin for all the great moments he has given us over the years
This was very motivational. Dustin has a crazy good mindset.
DP is great! Amaizing career, very top level competition. And the way he holds himself after loss. Great example to follow. All the best! 🎉
So both fighters went in their fight compromised and refused to pull-out of the fight. Two dawgs with hearts of true warriors. ✊
90% of fighters do it every fight, nothing new
This man's journey can be turned to a movie, and the fact that he didn't achieve his ultimate goal makes the whole thing more poetic and relatable.
You know man ur good enough..U have been a personal hero..being from The new orleans area..we always feel undeserving..u have given to others and now take care of you and yours..hugs and kisses..spend sometime with that family..
That boxing workout back in Lafayette he’s talking about from fightville was our team. We all knew he had it back then.I am in the boxing scene from fightville. Dustin was always a class act and a humble guy. I am grateful to have trained and sparred with him back in the beginning of his legendary career. Diamonds are forever!
Agreed, he sounded like he’s not done. When he’s done he’d know, he’d know for sure.
Much love to this dude, Poirier is an amazing human being!
Would love to see dustin commentate. He seems really insightful and present in the moment when recalling fights. I bet he would be good at calling them.
Don't retire yet bro look at this chance another one can come just the same as this 1 I support ur decision we live in the same town so always will
Absolutely right! About wanting the diamond to come out victorious
What a fighter and what a human being! Thank you Dustin!
Poirier and Gaethje are incredible. The improvements Gaethje made, to destroy Tony, beat Fiziev and KO Poirier, after originally being collapsed by Poirier and Alvarez were insane. As was Poirier's improvement in the grappling department post Khabib and Gamrot training. To defend 11/16 takedowns from Islam is crazy, especially how after so many of us wondered how he'd do given the Khabib fight.
Imagine… DP vs JG 165lb title/new weight class intro.
Dustin would be incredible in commentary, all due respect to the current commentary group but Dustin would be huge step up from the current level.
Love the Diamond 💎💎💎 what a special Human he is, I was and stil is behind you all the way from South Africa
Hes been at it for a long time. I remember way back in the day I was watching MTV caged and those guys spoke about this dude from their area that's really good and going places, it was Dustin Porier. I think I was 19 at the time and I am turning 38 in a few days. So, I feel old these days yet Dustin has been doing his thing for half of my life, UN FREAKIN' REAL!!
Heart still broken
GOAT of the uncrowned
Word
tony is the one
@@NB-zj4yv Really? Isn’t he on like a 7 fight losing streak? Or are we only counting the times where he was winning?
@@hanz1491 We are talking about the overall and CV of the fighters here.
@@NB-zj4yv sorry to break it to you bro but losses matter. If you wanna talk CV Tony has wins over 2 former champs, Dustin has wins over 4. Tony’s streak is impressive but who was he beating, and is it really more impressive than Dustin’s schedule? I don’t think so.
Dustin is a life champion, rhe wat he speaks, respectful and just hones, best wishes for him
I"ve always been of a fan of just listening to this guys interview. The way he talks, just seems so knowledgeable. Theres always something to learn from it. Thats how I feel when I listen to a Tom Brady or a Kobe Bryant type interview.
This is a great interview, well done 👍
A Legend, A War Dog, A Warrior, A Gladiator!!! Long live the Diamond💎
Great interview! Respect ♦️
Great interview. Always loved DP and Ariel's chemistry
Agree
I love his honesty. LEGEND!!
Solid interview Ariel! Dustin Poirier is the man, a true legend of the sport, class act, an overall great guy and a perfect ambassador for the sport. Even without winning the belt, DP has had a Hall of Fame worthy career. 👏👏👏👏💎
DP is such an inspiration to all civilians. Keeps it 100% real, always. I hope he gets one more fight in and goes out on top at least.
DP is a dawg, man. He's climbed that ladder so many times and brought us along for the ride.
I love the vibe between these 2.
DP A LEGEND! Plz don't retire!
You did it your way Dustin!!! You really fought the most dangerous guys for your fight for the title. Your a real fighters fighter. Thank you sir.
What ever he does I hope he’s happy. What a cool dude. Genuine.

Not a robbery
bro you ae still the man keep your head up bro and do as you will with your self love as you are
Dustin is an all-timer. Nothing but respect for him as a person. He is truly one of the last of a golden age in this sport. He owes nothing more, and that has been the case for years. The only thing he owes is a good life for him and his family in retirement. Thanks for one of the most amazing careers DP. 💎
Dang, Dustin really is the man.
this was great to watch
Obviously
@@Last_Chance.rude
Dustin is a class act!! Love him, whatever he decides to do he has the support of so many!! 💯💪💎
Dustin is awesome! This interview is like a pros/cons list for whether he should fight one more or retire for Dustin.
Would be nice to do 1 retirement fight the FANS love him.
I’d love to see Dustin do some commentary/ analysis gigs I think he’d be great
Dustin you are one of the greatest ever!
Beautiful interview!
DP been my favorite fighter for years, the thought of him retiring is disheartening as a fan but he can leave knowing that he he made it to the top and did it while being a great role model for the next generation of fighters. True warrior, dad, and husband. Quality man
This Dudes the Man 💎 's are FOREVER
Go out on top mate. Absolute legend. Nothing to prove
Next fight or none. He will go as people's champ/legend. The way he say things....CLASSSSSSSSSS
A great human being. Love his positive outlook. I'd like to see him fight one last time, win and then walk away from the sport.
Damn, Arturo Gatti, Max and Dustin are my fav fighters of all time. I sincerely love this dude and I try to live my life raising three kids as a single Dad like this dude lives his. I'm nowhere close but, when I wake up and my feet touch the floor, I get another chance to do things right. I love how he says this is my story and things that happen in my life are mine.
Such an inspiration this man is, a real hero to me. His spirit and pure heart is what makes him so admirable by many people around the world.
A belt means nothing in the end, it doesn't make you a better person. Just look at Mc Gregor who's got a belt but he is a piece of crap.
Dustin is a family man with great values, an altruist, someone who conducts himself in life with gratitude and dignity. A real champion to me
Top bloke is Dustin. Legend.
I can’t imagine what it feels like for Dustin not having the title in hand after the build up.. I know he’s been at it for ages but I feel like he has just hit his peak performance, confidence, fan base wise everything. He’s still right there at title contention.! Step back for a little let a few more people contest while being a back up fighter just in case
My fav fighter of all time. Glad to see him go out with a bang like that. But i wanna see him v Nathan
And will be one of my favorite fighters of all time here in West Virginia we love the Diamond!!! Just a good ole boy let's go Dustin!!!
Do what you feel on your heart brother no shame love you dude
People want to see him win because he's a role model for kids and for the most part does everything the right way. He's not a cheat, he doesn't lie, and he tries to do right. The only time I've cried since I was a small child, was watching the make a wish foundation work Dustin does with these kids.
Dustin has a very genuine manner, and articulates in a way which gives real insight into his experiences. Never excuses. No rationalizing. I can only feel real respect for him. An empathic guy. It's a shame he never became champ. He deserves it. He's been in so many memorable wars. He's a superb fighter.
