Mma fans are the worst. You can support poirier without being disrespectful to saint denis. The guy is not asking for any shortcuts. He called out beneil or any other top 15. I hope he gets back to title contention
Excuses, your boy got knocked OUT
to be fair so did your boy
@@clinch4402
@@clinch4402 And ? Poirier has been knocked out several times himself and that doesn't stop him anything today
He is the future of LW. So no worries. Casual MMA fans won't understand this.
@@nxo91he is only the future because the much better vets are in their last years. Once the like of Justin, Dustin Charles etc are gone, the lightweight division is mid again.
When I saw him with a cap (he never wear that) and yellow skin at the press conference, I knew something wasnt right. When he put his first middle kick with no power at all on round 1 I was certain of it. He honored his contract and the card anyway, he's a real soldier, Dana White will remember it. You can trust BSD to show up and put on a show.
Merci pour lui 👍
Let him the time to go back and you will see !
thank u bro, i think like u
Stop making so many excuses, hes got no chin and can't box and isint a very good grappler. Porrier is a freaking legend
@@markfloyd5 Get it out your mouth
Great interview, I don't think this is an excuse, he's probably just angry and regrets the fight. But he clearly said 2 important things:
- Dustin, RDA and all the great champion fought with this kind of problem
- He could have been knock out anyway, but he would have given a better fight.
And also the fact that he didn't call off the fight made him super reliable for the fan and the UFC. He turned up, gave it all, and it was the fight of the night.
Sources ? RDA which fight ? Poirier had a staph weeks AFTER his fight and was not on antibiotic. Talking about great chamipon Islam actually pulled out of his fight against RDA due to ? staph infection....
He's unlkely to make that mistake again though so saying he's now super reliable doesn't really make sense when he knows not to fight when he's ill or has an infections.
@@JamieReynolds89 He said that he would have had better chance of healing the staph infection if he didn't have that much weight to cut (he weight 85kg in regular life, and fight at 70kg). So now he will try to stay at 80kg in normal life, so he won't have that much weight to lose, and will avoid drastic loss of energy during cutting, even with an infection.
Definetley making excuses
@@bubalfred260definitely did not listen to the entire interview
Dustin Poirier x Benoit Saint Denis is the rivalry/brotherhood I didn't know I needed
Benoit is a true warrior. Such a beast. Can't wait for his return.
Do ‘true warriors’ make so many excuses? If he took his loss with more humility, I’d agree with your assessment.
Didn't he say that Dustin could have knocked him out cold, even if he didn't have the staph? He wants to give us wars, that lasts 3, 4, even 5 rounds. Unfortunately he only had 1 round cardio because of this nasty staph, and antibiotics. No excuses here, only facts. Unfortunately for you.@@FazzzyV
There is no return! He is done! DP ruined his Hype train just like DP ruined Conors carrer!
Take your time Benoît.
Heal think and Côme back in september. No rush . Please
He is too young to understand this
C'est trop tot. Parler de Juin est ridicule. Je suis aussi un fan des premieres heures et ne veux pour tant pas le voir avant septembre...
@@Alex-be6fwJe pense qu'il peut le faire perso mais faudra qu'il ait la prudence d'un Islam. Il aurait pas Gaethje en face.
exactly.. he is already thinking about fighting in June to follow up with a fight at UFC Paris scheduled for the end of September.. is he looking to bring a big name back in front of his audience??
He's done! DP made him famous by sleeping his azz.
Keep your head up BSD,love to see you again in the octagon🫡
He rushed at Poirier to get it done quickly, that explains why he was so slow and sloppy. Staph infection is no joke. Soon as the fight started, heck even his whole body language during fight week and during his walkout, you can feel something was wrong with him. His body and mind wasn’t there.
LAME
Islam fought Arman with a staph and all of those antibiotics as well, fought Volk with all the craps rehydration time, still he came out on top, BSD is really good but he is not at Charles, Poirier, Gaethje or Arman level yet
his body and mind wasn't there because he had it sent to the mats courtesy of Poirier.
@@kinantantjiptawirawan1326oh didn’t know Islam fought Arman with staph
I'll add that to the long list of excuses
@@kinantantjiptawirawan1326the problem is you never know how someone is feeling.
Sometimes you have a disease and you feel ok, sometimes you have the same disease and you feel like dying.
So you can't compare someone to BSD.
Just look the fight, if you think BSD was at 100% you are delusional...
We don't say BSD would have won, we are just speaking facts.
In fact, if for you it's useless to speak about it, why are you here? Did you watch 24min about something you think is useless?
Or worse, did you comment on a video without watching it ?
My man still looks tired af...Please Benoit take care of yourself we love you.What's wrong with right eye and those dark circles..?
Broken nose as he said
First time seeing someone whos been in a fight huh? That's like me saying on a NASCAR video "Soo what are the tyres used for?"
Man I was so impressed with what I saw early on in the Dustin fight, this guy is a monster he kinda was dominating him like Beeb did for a bit, I then saw when he was closing the distance to strike he was throwing recklessly with his chin straight up and I was like o no.....Dustin is going to clip him with something, his chin was just out there for the taking and Dustins boxing is just super crisp so I had a feeling he would get put out after seeing that. This is probably one of my newest favorite fighters, everything about him is bad ass especially the special forces background, he also is having the quickest improvement out of anyone Ive ever watched, I could see him being a champ for sure in the future. Him vs Arman or Gamrot could make for good fights
I wish the UFC was a bit more flexible, that could have been even more of a banger fight...
I hope the UFC rewards this man for sacrificing his chances to keep the show going
he won a place, it’s a strong message, he got 50k€ too for the fight
Dana is his best friend now
Ufc doesn't give a crap about they're fighters and won't give him anything. Like I said man the ufc is the toronto maple leafs of hockey and it's our fault for watching. Stop buying it stop going to it black ball them till it's fair and the fighters get pro athlete pay. FRm league sports players get paid more than ufc players. Sure pay the super stars more but spread the wealth. I'll never pay to watch a ufc fight ever again to the bar a diet coke the main card leave. Everybody do that they start suffering
I'm French, I just love that Guy. And I'm very happy when he said that Poirier could have knocked him out even at 100%. Poirier IS a legend and deserves all the credit. Let's understand the contexte because it was a part of the story. He is just telling the truth about his condition, not making excuses
C'était une erreur d'avoir combattu. Il aurait dû être à 100% pour ce combat, surtout que c'était un duel contre le top 3. Même Jon Jones ou d'autres annulent s'il y a un souci, ils ne prennent aucun risque, la c'est pas le bas niveau...
@@intercepte He is not rich enough to do that, he would be bankrupt with all the expenses travelling & his staff. He was hoping he would get well fast, did not work out, better luck next time
@@marteljim6614 There is a UFC event every month, it could have been postponed to the following month, and the UFC could have changed the lineup. To make a good fight, it should have been at 100%, it's irresponsible to fight while sick.
@@intercepte He knew he still have a 10% chance of winning, would earn 240K€, and still climb the ranking despite loosing. It was a tough choice, I would also have preferred him canceling.
@@marteljim6614 The only advantage is that he could have bet on his defeat and made some money. I see no other advantage. Postponing the fight was the best choice.
Take rest bro
Great guy. He remains a huge problem in the 155div
We love you BSD !
I’m still happy he showed up to fight despite dealing with the adversities he faced fight week
I believe him. He looked like a shell of himself. Probably by the time he gets a few wins Dustin will be retired.
He did his work in the military, & got into the UFC with not much of a long duration of experience.. sheesh got my respect if u ask me.
what a nice guy, and also his short answers are refreshing
😄 He had a lot to say.
I prefer the attitude of BSD than Costa, who pulled out every fight. Oliveira canceled his fight against Machachev, now he fights Tsarukyan before the fight of Bo Nickal
Ufc came back to their senses. Bo Nickel opens the main card
Charles had a cut bro, it's dumb to fight anyway, respect them for doing it, but it's just dumb.
Despite his loss to Poirier I still believe BSD is gonna be a real contender in the LW division soon..the lack of experience is his only weakness leading to his loss against Poirier..Poirier himself felt the strength of this man and pointed out in the post match interview..this guy has it all..he will improve and is in fact a real tough guy.
You will be back BSD ! 🇫🇷💪🏼
Dustin is my favorite fighter. With that being said im a huge fan of BSD. Cant wait to watch him fight again.
How can anyone say this is excuses. So many others would of pulled out. You could tell he was done even before the finish. To not think staph antibiotics and weight cut in a week will have no effect on performance your a complete moron. He usually kicks more and grapples later. That went out the window. Such a shame as would of been a much better longer fight imo.
Hes a tough mf no denying that, getting wobbled & mustering up his will power to stay standing
He wasn’t slow and sloppy. Stop making excuses
I heard Dustin was going through Conor and his wife DMing each other.
His grappling aint that good it was dustin jumping guillotine that made him grapple
@@sstech5410he quite literally was slow and sloppy he fought nothing like his previous fight
He was sick as f, you'll see nex time. Just so u know he fought with a staphylocoque...He was under antibiotic the all week. First thing I said to myself when I saw the fight was "why he fight without energy" I never saw him like that.
great interview, great fighter, thanks. Take the rest you need bro
Rest up and come back stronger ! All support to our champions here Benoit ! 🇫🇷
Benoît make us so proud, he make France great again no matter he win or loose. A thrue modern knight. Can't wait to see him back. Respect to Dustin, wish him the tittle even if Benoît will get it back
Staph infection is a major handicap.
BSD stay my guy for sure. 🙏
BSD needs to work on his striking defense, staph or not you can’t drop your hands and exposed yourself.
In his defense I’ve trained boxing and people who have never tried it don’t realize when you are tired it’s almost impossible to keep your hands up he literally mentions that in this interview
@@user-pj2qn6fh6kBlatant misinformation... Bro it was early round 2. There's no reason at all for him to be so tired that he can't protect himself. Even late in a five round fight, if you can throw a punch, you can bring your arms up.
He fought similarly against his other opponents but they didn't have nearly the same striking pedigree as poirier so they didn't exploit those openings.
If you fight with your hands down then you have to move well. BSD has so far relied much more on grit than proper defensive technique.
@@faroffspring2430you do know he fought on antibiotics which completely drains your body of energy, before he even stepped in the cage
@@DominTokyoo yes but if BSD had the energy to ragdoll Poirier and to throw wild haymakers then he definitely had the energy to bring his hands up. I like BSD but his striking technique needs a lot of work if he wants to ever be a champ
this is exactly what was on my mind before the fight! BSD has no defence! and if Poirier can hit Connor with his exceptional head movement the Diamond is definitely winning by KNOCKOUT!
Wish you a fast recovery!
Merci Benoît,tu es notre gars sûre ,tu reviendras plus fort .force a toi
I like the fact that before the fight, I saw a lot of comments about BSD’s staph infection. And after the fight, there were many comments of ‘excuses’-haha. I respect and admire Dustin and my American brothers, but trust me, BSD was seriously ill and almost won. (Imagine having a staph infection a week before the fight, dealing with a 22-pound weight cut, and everything else…) And if you don’t think so, please check the other fights he participated in and observe the difference in intensity. Anyway,
his full comeback will hit hard for some people who dont realy know him, believe me 😉
I've watched his previous fights, and to be honest the infection affected him but it won't change the result. His head movement had technical flaws, and that was the main reason to his loss.he should take this lesson stop blaming his health condition
@@teriyakiman2745Could be very better in ground phases, you can see he can't move Dustin bc a lack of force. And could'nt use his kicks. Ground + kicks could easily change all of the result
@@bastienakjd lol he couldn't kick hard because they both southpaw fighter it's hard for him to kick . As his ground part he didn't even wants to do any GNP to waste dustin energy makes some damage what he did is putting his arm inside Dustin neck he wants to chock dustin out badly in the first or second round to prove himself so all his excuses is not make sense for me
@@teriyakiman2745 bro just imagine fight with 0 cardio, you will search for end that hell in first or second too. I will not waste my time in debat, just look his previous and next fights and you will see
@@teriyakiman2745 His coach (Daniel Woirin) is former Anderson Silva's coach, so he knows exactly what to do when it comes to head movement. Obviously he will learn from this fight and become an even better fighter. He's still far from reaching his maximum potential.

Thank you Ariel for this interview. We'd been waiting to hear from Benoît since the fight.
Oof, my fellow staph brothers, I am sure we can all agree, what a horrible spot to get staph 😬
Great Interview !!! As usual ! 😅. BSD will be back very soon and no matter who is front of him... This guy never refused a war... You should have notice that... Thanks Benoît. We believe you because we saw that somethings were turning bad at the second we saw you on the weight stuff... Congrats and all the best...🌞
Absolute stud, what a guy
a fight before UFC paris ?
you're crazy BSD
two legends that I hope we'll see together in the octagon ! It cannot not be a banger !
Love Benoît, thanks so much Ariel!!
Those who talk about excuses make me laugh, real hypocrites. They want to pretend that they don't want to know the bottom of the story, but in reality, like everyone else, they want to know those details.
He should keep all this to himself. It is an excuse.
@@user-io5xd6to1k why ? everybody saw he had an infection and he didn't talk about it during fight week, it is not an excuse as he explain how it afected him during the fight, casual hater
@@lucian6857 He would be more respected if he kept it to himself.
bottom of the story is he got knocked out
@@mahanx6 The bottom of the story is that he always talks about this stuff after his fights and there's no reason for him to stop. His critics are not the center of the world they think they are.
i was surprised that the fight wsa not over when he was at JP 's back,now i understand.We all know how it sucks to go working sick so imagine for a fight!
Excuses! Dude got fkn slept!
He is the man, no doubt
BSD is a superstar and will come back stronger! He is not making excuses but just explaining facts
Nah, bro is done. Excuse after excuse!

Merci Ariel 👍
These guys should be inspecting their body twice a day during camp and applying mupirocin to every scratch, bump and pimple they can find
I'd imagine that, if you use medicine that often, it ends up not working anymore at one point :/
Unfortunately staphylococcus infection is something you can catch via objects or just hand contacts etc
@@delphes5984 it has been killing mrsa for years. Catch it early and apply liberally
Dude was rolling around on sweaty mats
that’s what typically happens during MMA training
what do you expect?
merci Ariel, beaucoup de respect pour ton travail.
Force à notre Benoit national, on lui souhaite le meilleur et on sera derrière lui quoi qu'il arrive.
On l’avait tous vu que BSD n’était pas à plus de 40% !! Dès le 1er kick !!
Force a toi Benoit, bravo et merci encore de nous avoir rendu fiers! 🔥
On a hâte de te revoir mais je t'en prie prends ton temps pour revenir ! Te voir a l'UFC Paris serait super !

Frustrating for him it must be. And for us, not seeing him at 100% to get a 4/5 rounds fight.
He gave all he had in the 1st to try to make it happen. 2nd was to hard as a result... He won the 1st but he loses the fight giving all he had...
Credit to DP for survinving the 1st. It was all he had to do to win the fight in the end.
I feel we won't see a DP vs BSD number 2, Poirier is getting old and he want a title shot, he does'nt want a BSD at 100%, in two years, at 36...
Thx for keeping it real ariel 👍 no alien invasion nonsence here.
Respect
But Dariush would be a tough comeback fight. That dude is on Poirier's level.
What a warrior! Futur champ!🔥
Good fighter but he'll never be champ
@@Last_Chance.he could but he has to learn from the loss & keep sharpening his skills. He has the talent & heart to be.
Future champ 🤣 he’s overrated af
@@Fitkid7672 he has the heart yes but not the talent or the constitution
BSD is a true role model 💯💯
BSD GOD OF WAR WILL BE BACK IN DA GAME
Benoit is only a human being. Should change his nickname.
Prend ton temps, septembre UFC Paris pour ton retour serait très symbolique. Tu est l'un des meilleurs de cette catégorie c'est une certitude alors prend ton temps je t'en prie.
These are the risks when you are a weight bully
Staph + antibiotics + weight cut = impossible to win.
He's gonna be back very soon, very strong .
He has everything to be champion ; mentality, technicly, power.
Just matter of time.
Merci Benoit. J'étais limite inquiet de ton état de santé. Je sais que tu reviendras plus fort. Soutien inconditionnel
Courage benoît
Any person who steps into the cage to fight will always have my respect. In today's mma 90% of fighters are good dudes. Sucks there's always a looser.
Anybody saying excuses literally didn’t watch the interview at all . He literally showed the staph pics ??
Where is this video?
Then why did he fight? Excuses. Fighters have fought with more injuries and have won world titles.

BSD🔥🔥🔥🇨🇵🇨🇵
To be honest if someone is to be blamed here it is BSD' team and coach. This was their job to make sure Benoit could compete at his best and in good health.
cool guy
All the people saying it wasn’t staph before the fight. All the experts. Where are those geniuses now?
I am french so I might be biaised but I feel like every factor in the préparation should be taken into account for a proper analysis of the fight.
this guy is a shapeshift!
super propre ton anglais Benoit !
I had respect for Frenchy.
He should've pulled out and move the fight to UFC 300!
no, losing and making mistakes is a part of life. He'll do better next time
That's right, this is where you learn to be a dog
Allez Benoit 🇫🇷💪🏻👊🏻
I trust him, Well see after next fight
Such a bummer he had the infection. I think we all know he’s better than that performance. Can’t wait for this guys future.
Traduction en français svp
next!!!

Dan Hooker ? if so, wrong flag.

no sory
Ariel is such a great interviewer! Could work in any big media
BSD will bounce back, best of ouck brother
Prends ton temps avant de revenir Benoît 🇨🇵
He was lit when he was winning but got KOd being wreckless and thats why he lost.
Not all these wack excuses
He said the wish version of the god of war was out there lol
I know One of them had to lose but I wanted both of them to win!
but how he was allowed to fight by ufc ? They are supposed to have a health check just before fight isn't it ?
Dana didn’t want his co-maint event to be cancelled that’s why. Not good for business
MMA GURU
I don't think it's a good idea to come back before UFC Paris.

He was rushed up to fight one of the best fighters in UFC history, before even fighting a top 20 fighter, it's utterly insane really
Moises and frevola are top 20

Why does every fighter who loses say he was sick before the fight?
the winners being sick also say it, just saying it before is bad strategically
It was kinda obvious before the fight though, had a huge staff infection on his face
