Dustin looking great as an analyst! ✨
Dustin looks great in everything he does
The past 3 LW champs couldn’t beat him without crotchsniffing him. One of the top LW of all time
@@Ziggyvuhe got subbed twice. Cope harder lol
Awesome to See the Diamond on this!
I'd like to see him commentate more often he was talking about staying busy after retirement this would be a great way to do that
His new career
Absolute BMF
We want Dustin to keep doing stuff like this
Get The Diamond on that analyst rotation. We have a gem here.
You could say.. a diamond
I agree. Something about his voice is so amazing in this environment. Plus his knowledge and experience. Perfect.
Glover is probably the coolest and most humble guy in the UFC, a heart the size of the world, without him Poatan would never have been able to become a hall of famer in 3 years, a legend from Brazil
FACTS- I also love how he is always in the background praising Alex and never trying to upstage him. He obviously is a world class teacher, mentor and coach.
Glover is such a good human being
Alex still has to fight on his owm
He doesn't get enough credit 🗣️🗣️🗣️ tell em
Why did he just give away a black belt like that though? Glover came up the hard way in jiu jitsu he of all people should understand the importance of grinding for it. Doesn't feel as meaningful when it's handed to you. He is top 3 jiu jitsu guys in ufc history his tutelage should be taken seriously but it makes it hard if he will just pass out a black belt like a ham sandwich.
Love having Dustin on desk and teddy is just fantastic
Teddy is a maniac, so fun to listen to.
Poirier coming for Chandler’s analyst jobs
Dustin's new job
I am happy to see Dustin ❤
Fire Brett and replace him with Dustin.
The plan
How about not firing anyone and just add Dustin as well?
Facts
Agree. No energy
PLEASE !!!
Dustin on commentary?! Please let this be permanent.
Glover is a super plus , love ol glover, happy for him , champion forever
2nd title defense already. Wish Alex was younger. His time is gonna go by so fast.
With his activity and heavier weight he will be able to do many more fights
he could retire tomorrow night and hed still be one of the greats
@@DaviddavidheheI think he retires if he wins the HW title... id do it too if i was him 😂
Strong point from DC imo about Glover being able to show Alex the strongest caliber of ground and wrestling that he could face at 205. I think DP spot on too about how quickly Glover is able to help Alex close any gaps. I think Glover and Alex are great example of an amazing coach-fighter duo that can result in impressive growth, and hones top fighter even more
Dustin and Teddy Atlas were great. Hoping to see more of them
pretty sure they could replace Okamoto with ChatGpt
😂😂 why do yall hate this man
Or tito ortiz
Ugly people hate naturally hate pretty and successful people@@marcernest3165
@@marcernest3165i dont get it either 😅
LMFAO
lol the look DC gave after Dustin said he’s not done was priceless
time code?

This might be the best combined panel in the game… run this one back again ESPN if you know what’s good for you
Dustin held his own man, good job
Maybe I’m reaching here but Dustin said “I’m still chasing that” when talking about Robbie inspiring him to be a champ. God I hope that means he isn’t retiring 🙏
He ain't retiring yet
This card gonna by amazing i completely forget about conor vs chandler thank you to alex pereira and jiri to save this day
Jiri offended the indigenous people of Brazil. They do not invoke evil spirits...they believe in the protection of their ancestors. Alex has indigenous blood...warrior blood. But he only achieved success by combining 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. He trains...trains...trains...tirelessly.
man does teddy know how to talk in circles
not even he tries and fails dude is just there to remind hey i was around a bunch of boxing greats
but when it comes to giving a single solid point he goes full gibberish
Not ready for Dustin to retire but seeing him on media would make it easier for sure, he looks great up there!
Dustin been ACTIVE AF...he's DEF one of the FACES of UFC!!...he a CHAMP at LIFE!!
Dustin is a natural. No need to bash brett at all. I enjoy his style.
Cormier seems to be such a good guy. No ego and always putting others up
idk if its his first time but dustin did really well here. bring him on more often!
Dustin is looking good as a commentator 👏
Brett Okamoto is like shopping at Pottery Barn.
Pls keep Dustin for these. Maybe even Commentary some day
DP looking at home!
Having Glover so close, would never be a bad thing!
Plus, Alex is avenging Glover in change of training.😁
Dustin looks and sounds comfortable here
Dustin is prefect for a MMA analyst role on ESPN or with the UFC!!!!! I was hoping someone would pick him up and give him this opportunity to be around the sport without having to fight. Dustin Poirer is a wealth of MMA knowledge and speaks so well and it will only get better the more he does it.
“Oh So you’re a commentator now?” in Diaz voice
Great to see Dustin, even happier to see Teddy.
About time they show Dustin some love. Hope to see more of him
Teddy Atlas is on 🔥
Love DP being with the guys!
Didn’t know teddy atlas fw MF doom
When did he reference?
DP needs to be a regular on the show 💎
Dustin needs to get behind the desk whenever he hangs the gloves up, felder is my fav on the commentary team, would be sick to have Dustin right there with him.
Dustin is awesome in this position
Glover litteraly passing the torch to Alex
How? Wasn’t Glover always getting knocked out?
Very good Job Dustin. Wasn’t expecting it but you did great for your first time!
Aw man great seeing DP doing analyst work.
Bro really came off a barstool and took everything Izzy had
Cant believe glover and the amazon king are living 30 min away from me 😂
They added it to each other's careers. People just didn't take notice of Pereira but he's was at Glover's corner for years. He helped Glover his striking a bit more during his last Title run.
Dustin looked like he fit right in and smooth so much knowledge legend 💪
Good job Dustin 🎉
DP doing a fantastic job! Lets go 💎
Good to see DP in the booth!
DC: "He stands up straight, stares you down, then beats you down."
Love they have Teddy on, ya he can be arrogant some times but gotta give the man respect he's a legend
It's nice to see DC and Dustin here!
Why did DC look away when Dustin mentions about being champ again. 😂😠sad
Coz it will mean Dustin beating Islam
Was looking at someone behind Brett in the distance
Because he isn’t a good person
Let's goooo Dustin!!
Shine bright like a diamond!
What headset are they using?
Keep the 💎💎
The height similarity between DC and Dustin is insane considered their differen weight classes
Love that Dustin on it , was gunna shut it off then he came on and I watched rest lol
Stare matches what follows after it. That is what make him scary.
Wait how did they switch out Brett with Teddy like that?! 😅
Dustin is made for this! He will get all of the fighter interviews! He will overtake DC if UFC lets it flow naturally
Nervous Dustin but looks great in that headset definitely should consider it going forward.
What’s the name of the show?
Let's appreciate Pereira while we have him
If Dustin retires, I'd love to see him keep the money flowing by commentating or doing fight studies for the ufc.
the Diamond!
Alot of people always talk about how Izzy saved Alex career etc.
But honestly there's never enough talk about how much Glover actually saved it.
Beautiful partnership.
I mean his career really didn’t need saving. He was the glory’s only concurrent double champ and one of 2 glory 2 division champions with 5 defenses and largely considered the best kickboxer on earth. He makes way more now but certainly made good money during his glory title runs
MMA Fighter of the year, definitely the New🗿of the UFC.
Shine bright like a diamond
Omg shut up already. Let Dustin finish his stori. (crybaby voice)*
Poatan: winning or losing, doesn't matter, I'm here to FIGHT!
5:01 "I would" Lmao DC is the best
Bret’s introduction was completely wrong. LMAO. 😂 Alex knocked Izzy out in the second round.
2:36 Dustin says he’s still chasing gold. BOYS HE JUST TOLD US HES STILL FIGHTING
Lol someone in the bar said I bet you can't do it again"....😏 He told them my beer
The Louisiana boys.
Glover is the man
Get Dustin in the Commentary team
Lets go dustin!
Daniel is the best for this Job
🙏🏾✌🏾🐜CHAMA✌🏾🙏🏾🐜
Dustin would be an excellent analyst and commentator! That should be his next full time gig. He is very charismatic. Much better than Brett
4:05 he not lying .. one time my dad bought a ppv for tyson and prior to the fight he had been talking about it for weeks and right before the knockout he went to the fridge, and i told him the other guy seemed like he had passed away (i was only 6) Anyways, my dad Still mentions that fight till this day, and he still regrets going to the fridge LMAO
@1:55 DC's mind* "pause"
Best Believe That With Glover In Alex’s Corner It’s Major Sinificance & A Blessing Upon Blessings !!!
Dustin needs to wait for Max to win the FW belt back cut back down to 145 then challenge Holloway for the belt who he's beat twice already. Then he can be champion.
3:30
Bret morphed into Teddy
TEDDY!!!!
was listening to audio only and thought joey diaz came on all of a sudden there
💎
Glover
DC almost called Dustin a world champion. OUCH
Don't know how good Jones is at HW. He beat Ciril But is Alex a better striker Than Ciril? Alex has been with Glover for awhile. Alex is definitely better on the ground than we've seen.
UFC 303 "Amazon fighting spirit vs samurai fighting spirit"CHAMA💪🤝👊
DC tuning out ehen that teddy yabber on
Ask glover about Luigi, not many people know
