Poirier vs Hooker is probably one of the most overlooked fights in lightweight history,it was amazing!
no one overlooks poirier except casual conor fanboys. we all know he's the real deal. him, tony, gaethje and mcgregor is the biggest name in lightweight .
@@tj3160 watch his last interview with espn
i had to turn off after 2 minutes cuz all i saw was a man trying to look pretty and doing weird facial expressions like the duckface epidemic
also called posing
@@tj3160 low iq comment.
oh and @ our tech
dan hooker is one of the dumbest fighters on the whole ufc roster
watch his interview with the new zealand woman, but be careful cuz you will lose iq points
he talks like a cave man, but not in the savage good way, just in the "look how savy i am " low iq my brain is a rock style
and he fights like this also.
god bless him he got a strong healthy body to be able to compete, cuz his brain alone wouldnt get him anywhere he would probably be a construction worker if not getting punched in the brain for a living.
Literally who overlooks this fight? However if Dustin is leaving himself open to get hit like that against Hooker than it’s gonna be a bad night for him against Conor
Holloway vs Porier is one of the most underrated wars of all time, an insane follow up to the Izzy - Gastelum fight
One of the best cards I’ve ever watched
I thought it deserved fight of the year over Izzy vs Gastellum tbh
Despastevo Maybe such a close pick. I thought Izzy vs Gastelum was way closer, which is maybe why it won fight of the year. Idk
Max El Cucuy Hollway walks it like talk it
That wasn’t a war that was a fucking Clinic Porier has put on.
The best thing Dustin ever did was the decision to grow his hair out
Yeah he look hot now, no homo
@@LinhNguyen-my5my I think he's just joking but yeah it will be better if he didn't shaved his beard
Personally his bald is better
@@joshnell5295 girls prefer guys with hair lol
@@pyrotechnick420 imo he’s bold looks better
Dustin is a fighter who no matter how many times he falls. He keeps going keeps getting better. The must improved fighter I have ever seen.
right. he was already a beast before jumping to 155 and to see how far and even better he's become has been amazing to watch
Most improved fighter is Jan for sure
@@gr3dxdsuh865 nope. Yan has always been a scary legend. Was obvious he was gonna ko Reyes
@@hozza0411 he was alaways underdog, wth u talking about
So Dustin is a Sayajin confirmed?
I truly believe Michael Johnson is the sole reason why Dustin''s boxing offense and defense has gotten so much better. That KO changed him for sure.
Solely... cus McGregor's did nothing right? Loll any good fighter with heart learns from the losses
Not solely, but after the Michael Johnson fight he specifically stated “I will come back from this, I will work on my defense and be better from this”. He didn’t say that after Conor.
Changed his mindset too. Before that fight Dustin was more than willing to engage in trash-talk, afterwards though he became the humble, friendly man we all know and love.
Still cant believe how bad Mj sparked him, worse than conor did for sure..
sometimes boxers n fighters need those fights. just like canelo vs floyd really made canelo into a better boxer.
I love Dustin man, that hair did wonders for him.... but Khabib was the damn barber 💀
He couldn't skip khabib so he put him in the end 🤣
Khabib is everyone's barber then technically
Dustin is going to beat Conors Ass
@@krismoutinho5446 nah he’s getting countered badly with a left and finished in first or second
@@MartialLiam Khabib is my barbie ;)
12:25 Dustin casually dancing in the zone of death with gaethje...mad lad
Don't forget that Porier leg was completely F'd up after the fight. Him and Gaethje are both elite
@@bushisback112 Yeah but like Khabib that was Justin downfall he got countered hard for it
u listen to peep?
@@gosha7492 hell yea
@@KevinS7300 u a rl one rip pee
"Salon Quality Hair" gave him the chin and better striking abilitties
Is that conor and lobov, but artem doesn't have any forearms??
Omg I just noticed conors arms, it legit jumpscared me
@@mr.cowell6025 what you on about lol
That's also what it did for Ron Burgundy
@@Thawhid look at the guys profile picturr
His fight with Dan Hooker has to be my favorite fight of 2020
For real one of the best fights I've ever seen
It’s hard to pick between Poirier v Hooker and Figueiredo v Moreno.
Figgy v Moreno might be my personal all time favorite Fight.
2020 had so many amazing fights.
JJ v ZW, DC v Stipe 3, Gaethje v Ferguson, Yan v Aldo, Jones v Reyes, Volk v Max 2 ….
That second round was INSANE.
Yup same
@@CipherSerpico those were some great fights for sure
Dustin is really the man. Even if he never gets an undisputed title, this man has to be in the hall of fame just off his attitude and track record. Never passes up a scrap, and never backs down. That's a people's fighter. My guy has blessed us so many times with amazing shows.
He's like the modern version of Cowboy, but even better.
I think Dustins striking is the best example we have ever seen that mixed martial arts is truly an art form. It’s beautiful and satisfying to watch.
Royce Gracie's bjj is easily the best example why mma is truly an art form.
@Chokwe I watch the romero fight
I like the conor fight
i think adesanya is the better striker, but dustin is a better boxer
Izzy striking is remarkable and honestly anderson silva
Dustin Poirier is one of my favorite fighters man. I’m 100% never rooting against him. Literally nothing to hate and everything to love about that guy. Thanks for putting up a vid giving him justice! Great work, thanks!
McGregor will peepee on him again, his striking is far more versatile. Dustin has crisp boxing, but Kevin Lee still sees holes in his game. Dustin is badass af though.
@@nathelm8693 lol
@@venrableboss2755 that really didn't aged well 😂😂
@@nathelm8693 I love going back and reading comments like these. Not to gloat, but it's a testament t o how much a fighter has improved
These comments aged extremely well. Connor didn't have anything for dust and this time it was the weight cut on the 1st fight in my opinion
I will NEVER get tired of hearing "POIRIER POURING IT ON!"
you know a guy's good when holloway says "he's blocking weird"
Poirer vs Geathje was insane, its was straighup kick-boxing match. Classic example of leg kicks vs head strikes
exactly👀
One of the best striking matchup in recent years
@@edwardkelly3280 undoubtedly. One of my all-time favorite ufc matches, gaethje vs ferguson was dope too.
Poirier went back to his insane brawler style against Hooker and it was glorious. He wanted to make a statement there.
Imagine brawling Poirier vs brawling Gaethje.
@@cheefah3271 Imagine technical master Gaethje vs Technical master Poirier. I would watch those guys fight in any incarnation.
@@WaRLoKWYATT either way would be a ton of brain damage.
Hooker's chin might be the most legendary thing I've seen.. I thought Ferguson had the titanium chin, but Hooker's might be more impressive.
He can't do that with Conor tho. If he takes the same amount of shots he took from Hooker, he's fucked. I wanna see a good fight
The Diamond is my personal fav fighter. He is respectful, and a fucking killer. One of the best boxers in UFC
*the best
@@leandroantelo7154 LMAO no shot he does deserve to be on the best boxers in the ufc list but he falls behind when its strikers in general i dont think hes in the top 10 of strikers

Dumb casual kid Khabib was just too good and got easy out of the choke
@@UAGoWSuplexer It's a joke casual kid
@@UAGoWSuplexer he tried to guillotine Dan hooker too
I need to give Dustin poirier some more respect
That Gaethje fights commentary was insanely biased. All they talked about was Gaethje but Poirier was whoopin him the whole fight. It was back and forth but I had Dustin winning all rounds
yeah, it was like they were watching a different fight altogether. Standard UFC push. Trying to create another superstar. They were pushing for a Gaetje/Khabib superfight as soon as Gaetje got signed. DC is mainly a color commentator, but when he sees something technical he's specific and generally right on. Anik usually calls the fight in front of him but doesn't bring a lot of insight to the fight. Rogan?? Who knows what he's watching? For a guy that's been cage side for what? 20 years or so I guess, he doesnt't have a clue. God forbid there's a Jiu Jitsu fightero. Then we get to listen to another doctoral dissertation on the efficasy of BJJ. You're calling a PPV event. Everyone watching paid a lot of money to see the fights. We know what BJJ is dipshit.
Joe rogan truely believes bruises on the leg are worse than CTE and a calf kick is deadlyer than a knee to the jaw
Dustin looked so different with no hair . but no lie that fight with Hooker is easily fight of the year contender
Im so sad for u man that the "the only times jon jones got in trouble" vid got banned i loved it it was easy to see that u have put a lot of work into it.
Yup that video got blocked but maybe I will rework that video and re-upload it when it fits my schedule
@@MartialLiam why did it got banned?
@@MartialLiam m waiting already
It got blocked because of copyright... UFC still living in the stone age. They don't realize how much these content creators, who does this shit for free, help to spread their own fucking brand
@@Chakkaly theres ads, they get paid, its not for free
I think that's what made the poirier-hooker fight so brutal. They would often both leave their defenses open after every strike leading to a brutal brawl to the death.
3:56 is that jon anik rapping??
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's hilarious 😂
Who is it actually?
Flawless
Finally the video is online again.
Tbh, I really want to see Porier knock out McGregor. He's was a beast before. But now he has just improved so much
Just don't bet money on what you said.
@@andi_6294 yeah, connor is still a beast too. But he's like Floyd Mayweather he's good at getting people to want to see him get knocked out lol
@@davidsalinas9 Conor will never get knocked out, submission though, most definitely.
I think Conor could get knocked out by Dustin. But only Dustin. Nobody else in the division would knock him out I think. Dustin would have a 17% chance of KOing Conor. But it’s very unlikely.
@@dr.wolfgang3256 Connor wasn't too far away from being knocked out on the feet against Nate in their first fight that's why he shot a double leg on a black belt in Jujitsu because he knew if he kept eating shots he would eventually fall and lose via tko he rather he got submitted than finished on the feet which is fair enough.
Dustin’s gonna shock the world. If he makes it past Conor, no one at 155 bar Khabib can beat him
It's Tony Time bitches
Conor and dustin are the top lightweights post khabib imo
@@idonthaveaname4911 tony and gaethje still exist man 😂
nah Conor folds him again
@@tj3160 dustin beat justin
Who else is here after Porier put on a clinic fighting McGregor?
He did it again
And again
Again?
And again.
9:32 For all of Dustin's amazing moments in fights, that sequence right there is definitely the most underappreciated.
A few things people are underselling
1: Dustin's chin. Dustin hasn't been knocked out in years, and he's faced the likes of JG, Holloway, Pettis and Hooker since then. Conor's chances of knocking him out are *much* slimmer now.
2: Dustin's submission game. Dustin has 4 wins via submission in his UFC career(7 total), and Conor's only 4 losses are via submission.
Dustin has the better cardio, his bjj is arguably superior, and he's vastly improved in all other areas.
It will be a far closer fight than the naysayers are giving it credit. And if it goes into the championship rounds/Dustin can take him down, I truly believe Dustin will win.
Says the casual. Smh
Eh, Dustin got hit a lot vs Dan Hooker. Conor’s arguably the best striker in the UFC next to Adesanya/Silva. If Dustin gets hit the way he did against Dan... it’ll be a quicker win for Conor. I think Conor’s timing and precision will be too much for Poirier. I think he will put up a good fight, I just don’t think the combination of Conor’s dynamite of a left hand and accuracy is a good one for Poirier. I’m not saying it’ll be a first round KO for Conor, but I’m definitely predicting a 2nd or 3rd round TKO.
Side note: I don’t think the grappling will matter. Dustin can’t take Conor down.
@Bob C I think people don't get it -- Hooker is a longer striker with more angles, and Conor facing a southpaw means that the concept of lead-foot dominance being absent will make it ten times harder to set up his left cross. He uses his jab/right hook as a range finder, and he's done it against southpaws for so long, by now, people know the left is going to follow (Khabib and Chad Mendes circled to the left to avoid it), kinda like Mirko's left high-kick.
Dustin's chin? Hahaha. A gust of wind and he does the chicken dance
@@olynmus100 Nah he got hit with bombs from Hooker and stayed up & even came back.
Who’s here after Dustin knocked out Conor?
Once I saw this video I knew all along.... My second favourite re-adjustment/rebirth of a fighter after what Jan Blachowicz did
Casuals thats who.
@@KarolWolosz jan is a monster now its crazy
I saw this in my notifications the first time but was so sad when it got taken down. I appreciate the reupload.
*16:14* My man just ghost stabbed him in the jugular
I absolutely love these vids! There HQ highlights without three days grace blasting over the fight. AND they're informative. Excellent work
I really like the consistent narration and documentary style. It gives more context to their careers. Great job love your channel.
Dustin was a angry kid and fought like one. He was dangerous because he could punch but really because he was so mad. And he has grown into a pretty complete fighter today. That's what life is about. Growing into who we are all growing to be. And each of our journeys determine that destination. Much respect to Dustin. He us the definition 9f what we expect a champion to be inside and out of the octagon or ring
The song beginning at 1:43 is called Unknown Brain & Hoober - Phenomenon (ft. Dax & VinDon) for anyone wondering
Thanks man :)
I’ve always loved Poriers boxing style . Especially around the time of the Alvarez fight . He became a force in the last couple years
I'm glad he got humbled early on his career by McGregor because he seemed cocky back then
Now I love this guy.
He was just mad
He was an angry young man back then now he has matured being a father helped him mature.
I love the fluidity of his combinations and the variety with his hands kicks knees and elbows such a beautiful thing to watch him in flow state. I also like the pure dog in Dustin how he bites down on the mouth piece and throws bombs like 12.02 look at how he sits down into that punch :D. Awesome work brother keep these videos up I thoroughly enjoyed this.
A big secret of his success is how he can just throw his combinations from southpaw to orthodox fluently he as good southpaw as he is orthodox beautiful to watch
You can see Gaethje's brain cells getting slapped from his skull with each shot. Dustin used him as a heavy bag in that battle.
"Salon quality hair" .. Could you imagine how good DP would be if he grew long hair?
He's like the opposite of Brian Ortega in that regard.
He is the UFC version of Samson
Super Saiyan basically
Amazing Video, you did a very good job highlighting Dustin Poirier's skillful striking. Best video on CZcams to do so in my opinion. This video deserves more recognition.
this channel is so underrated, always producing great content, KEEP IT UP!
Poirier is like a guy who challenges you to a game of SKATE and you accept because he only knows like 3 tricks. But then he wins easily because he can do all 3 tricks regular, goofy, front side and back side.
Biased gaithje commentary Dustin was doing better than gaithje most of the time
It was like Conor vs khabib commentary like "gathje is defending poriers punches with his chin" lol
@@adithyanr.r9907 yeh 😂😂 Conor was tiring khabib out with his face 😂😂
@@coolshade789ify stupid Dominic Cruz
@@adithyanr.r9907 remember when conor got choked twice 😂
I'm absolutely convinced Gaethje would destroy Dustin in a rematch
This guy genuinely improves after each fight. He adds new tools to his arsenal everytime I see him in the cage. Very impressive to keep improving like that
Please keep making videos. They are SO interesting and us MMA fans are hooked
I love his fighting style, how can people be bored of it? He advances plenty, he picks his shots well, and he throws a shit ton
You're vids a fast becoming one of the best MMA content on youtube. Awesome work as always
The editing and commentary was great 👍 loved the video keep it going
His precision is almost unmatched
**Dustin loads bunch of combinations on Gaethjes body and head**
DC: Gaethje has to be the best leg kicker bro lol
🤣🤣🤣
@@keithtreco8851 Gaethje was landing hard kicks effectively to Dustin's legs if you see full matches instead of seeing highlights where Dustin looks good. To not mention Gaethje's kicks is just ignorant
@Jay 24 nobody denies that, but justin threw alot of powerful kicks as well
Great collection of clips showing how Dustin's striking game has improved. Good work!
Such a great video man thanks alot.
Man Holloway has one of the best chins ever.
the improvement in his standup is admirable... he deserves the attention he's been getting lately
This was a great video. Thank you!
Just came across your channel. I wish I knew about it earlier. This is a really comprehensive look at young Dustin. Kid is a master striker. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
How can you not love this guy? Tough as nails fighter, great human outside of the cage too, and so genuine and not fake at all. You can just tell that he is who he says he is
Man that Dan Hooker fight was so good
Dustin was down 2-0 and won all 3 remaining rounds
In my opinion fight of the year. It was just phone booth fighting.
One of the most important factors why Dustin's style is effective is because he is a right handed southpaw. By being in a Southpaw stance while still being a right hand dominant allowed Dustin to have more Arsenals and more options with his attacks and be creative in there that really make his opponents confuse and shell up by shifting stance in the middle of his combination. Everything in his right side stings, his jab is a power jab, his check hook is a power check hook etc etc. Leading with your dominant hand is unorthodox because usually fighters or boxers put their dominant hand in the rear to land power shots but you just compromise yourself because you rely so much on your dominant hand on the rear but by being a right handed southpaw it allows you to open new possibilities of combos seen in Dustin Poirier fighs.
-In his fight with Max, Dustin throw a winging left hand and use that momentum to switch conventional and land a massive over hand right that really hurts Max.
-In his 2nd fight with Conor it was a lead right hook that put Conor down to the mat and another lead right hook to knock him out senseless.
-In his 3rd fight with Conor, Dustin landed a lead right hook to Conor that really got Conor's attention and allowed Dustin to overwhelm Conor and make him clinch.
What a well made video, keep up the good work
Only issue for Porier is he leaves himself open for counters which Conor is the best at
Just because he loses to Conor McGregor doesn’t mean he sucks at taking on counter punchers. Conor is just an absolute phenomenon. So you can’t say he’s not good at fighting counter punchers.
@@Roach-hg2cy Dude he got cracked hard a couple times when he fought Hooker, and was in serious trouble. He can't fight Conor the way he fought Hooker, I hope he has a good game plan
@@Opsity When he fought Hooker he was just brawling. He wasn’t fighting clearly as good as he usually fights. But I agree Dustin can get destroyed by Conor, it’s just that Dustin has improved a lot since their first fight.
my thoughts as well
I'm not worried at all lmao even if he loses its not going to be embarrassing like cowboy or Alvarez. Don't sleep on Porier he's on another level compared to a few years ago
Dustin is also really good at shifting his weight on the fence and in the pocket. starting at 16:21 the second exchange his more exaggerated, but he generates so much force with just proper weight shifting. Its fantastic
This video was amazing. For sure reminds me of the boxing documentaries I used to watch as a kid on TV before internet took storm. I loved it. I absolutely love MMA and you picked a perfect person to represent the evolution of MMA through. From stand and bang to amazing footwork and defense along side top striking in the world. His ground game is fabulous too. You definitely earned a sub though this video
Subbed, excellent work
Every fight he’s been in (barring khabib) has been an absolute barn burner where he pulls through. Salon Quality Poirier is one of the best fighters on earth
@Jay 24 he didnt have hair tho
@Jay 24 was he salon quality at that point? Actually curious about that skin head Poirier was nowhere near the fighter Salon quality is
My favorite fighter, Dustin "The Diamond" Poirier.
Love your vids bro
Honestly one of the best videos I’ve ever watched on CZcams...just wow
He is freaking Jax Briggs from Mortal Kombat, that explains those fast punches
The strike he rocked Eddie with 9:32 was sensational 👏
Great video. Please keep it up!
hey just found you, while i like the clips im loving the breakdown and evolution of the fighter, keep that up! good stuff!
imagine if right after the first poirier-mcgegor fight, someone told you that one day he would have luscious hair and beat the piss out of mcgregor. You'd think they were crazy
Have to look at him as one of the greatest strikers of all time at this point. He doesn't really look spectacular like some of the others but his toughness and feel for the fights have got him very far. Not sure anyone else turns it on like he does when he feels his opponent is hurt.
I prefer your videos with commentary. There's a great balance between commentating and footage. Keep theese coming :)
Mind boggling that you have so few subscribers. Some of the best mma content on this app! 👍🏽
Would love to see poirier vs calvin kattar that would a freakin master class in striking
Nope him versus McGregor is the one
zabit vs poirier also.. both very in boxing
14:17 what song pliss..i need it for my montage
Your content is pretty good man!
This Video is so well done.
Gotta say Dustin has improved alot
Dustin is the perfect example "your not born to be something... With hard work and determination you can become anything"
hey man i didn't know your channel. Wonderful video analysis. you gain a new subscriber
What a good content, thank you!
