When Dustin lost to Khabib, he said “when times are good be grateful, when times are tough be graceful” (or something very similar). I never forgot that; I think of that quote any time I’m dealing with stress.
We would be lucky if there were more fighters like him. Past few years I never count him out. He's the only guy I don't totally count out against Khabib. He is an incredible representation of the sport...up there with Nunes, DC, and Stipe.
@W Baldwin I would imagine it's the same type of illiterate "weirdo" who gives fighters corny nick names and who doesn't know how to spell the word "money". 🤡 You maddddddddd? 😂
Why are so many people in this thread morons? Interim champ is NOT the same as undisputed champ. It’s effectively a glorified number 1 contender. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still an achievement, but Poirier wasn’t THE lightweight champion.
Brings tears to my eyes when I see him with his spirit back like this, as compared to him thinking he was gonna retire after his lost. We love you Diamond.
Wao what a casual, people like you that give more credit to the way how a fighter talk than the way he fights makes the sport a total circus, that's Why Colby acts like he acts, same thing with Cejudo and guys like that. Ya'll casuals make me sick.
@Ahmad this is Dustin's interview, I am Dustin's fan, I said good things about my favourite, from where did your Khabib come? No one asked you about Khabib. Take your khabib and go somewhere else.
My prediction is that Gaetjhe gets the win over Khabib and then Poirier beats Gaetjhe again. Khabib isn’t training at his usual gym plus his father is ill and I feel like this could negatively affect his performance against Gaetjhe. Gaetjhe is Khabibs toughest opponent yet, stylistically, and is coming into this fight super confident after that win against Ferguson.
bmcgmusic they stated that of the fighters who don’t hold a title, they root for this one the most not that there was any issue or anything like that But good day bro 👌🏻
When he said "I wanna be there for my daughter...forever." I actually felt that. But can only second all the other people here: He seems to be a great guy for real.
Not only is this kid a monster in the cage, he's an upstanding, sincere sportsman. He's the kind of fighter the UFC needs as a champ representing his weight division.
Wow this guy is as real and genuine as they come. He's right there as one of my favorite fighter now along with Thug Rose as my favorite female fighter. Hope this guy gets to hand one to Nurmagomedov some day.
The King Of Lafayette! What a beautiful, humble man Dustin Poirier is! A complete man, has had his highs, has had his low's but has kept going. Really does justice to his nickname - The diamond.
Conor McGregor:My foot was a balloon Dustin Poirier:My foot is swollen like a balloon Dustin Poirier vs Conor McGregor 2 is the fight to make and should be made
No point he’s already been ko, rather see Dan vs Connor or Dustin vs tony or dan vs tony, but the bigger question is where does Kevin Lee fit into all of this
Conor is irelevant, doesn't want to fight dangerous guys anymore. He is a spoiled brat that's mad because the UFC doesn't grant his wishes anymore. Could have fought Tony but he quickly became a Mcnuggets, same goes fore the Gaethje fight that he didn't want...
5 minutes into this interview, and you know poirier's answering every question with 100% honesty. No doubt, this guy is GSP with about 90% of GSP's track record. Amazing Poirier came from his background to the person he is now. Amazing guy
13:30 he definitely learned from khabib when Dustin had him on the ground in the 5th you saw that Dagestan hand tie and the leg wrap Dustin was doing on dan those are khabib moves 😂
I used to not be a fan of Dustin. Now he's one of my favorite fighters. Such a class act and a showman. He's not old school, he just has honor in spades.
@@JS-cg4ji definitely one of the greatest just for his record, the opponents he's faced, his weight class, and the era of his weight class with all the best of the best fighting at the same time in that weight class. any of the top 10 in the light weight division in this era are one of the greatest fighters of all time for mma.
@@JS-cg4ji I don't think he's saying he's in the GOAT conversation but he's certainly not just another "elite" fighter. Look at his resume and amount of fights. Definitely one of the best to ever do it in the UFC.
rene rivera honestly I think Dustin would beat Justin again. But there’s no way I see Justin beating Khabib. It’s mma anything can happen but this one I can’t imagine happening
I like Poirier and its good to hear some honesty on how he felt at the end of the 2nd round and how he felt after the fight. Most fighters these days are like 'nah they didn't hurt me, I feel great'
Decent, down to earth, humble and a great fighter. No need for trash of BS. I wish fighters like this get the amount of compensation and respect they deserve.
Literally the most genuine and at least from public interview records, a nice, person overall. Definitely wish him well on his future fights and career. Like Tyson said, fighting is not a tough man sport, it's a thinking man's game.
Ariel :How you feeling? Dustin: I'm busted up man I love it. I love an honest guy who comes out of a war like that and doesn't need to pretend like he's just taken a few scuffs
Much Respect to the way Dustin conducts himself, both in and out of the octagon. Congratulations Dustin on a great win. Hooker is a formidable opponent.
Poirier isn't my favorite fighter. I was rooting for Khabib, McGregor, Gaethje and the Korean Zombie when they fought but man I really hope Poirier wins the title one day. He deserves it more than anyone imo.
Dustin has matured a lot in the past few years and has quickly become one of the most likeable fighters in the game. He is so genuine and is a good role model for anyone, fighter or not.
We appreciate you Dustin, a real gem, the diamond. Love seeing you supporting schools, something that personally means allot to me. Keep on being you, much love for you brother.
Dustin vs Conor, Oliveira vs Ferguson. Make that happen Edit:Everyone is saying conor is retired, do you really believe that? He wants to fight with a Gate. And other people are saying that conor doesn’t take rematches, do you guys forget about Nate Diaz? If conor wants the fight with the winner of Khabib vs Gaethje, he needs to fight one more time because the cerrone win was not a No.1 Contender fight
Him between rounds after the 3rd I think saying, "I'm having a blast" showed how much heart he has and really does love the sport truly and doesn't just say that. Such a respectable and talented man 💎👊
Dustin is such a great and honorable human being. Hearing him talking so faithfully about his life and experiences is so heartwarming. Love him to bits.
Dustin has given some of the best athletic and fighting performances in UFC history. His demeanor and gratitude are amazing and world class. Hes got great things ahead. This is just the first step.

All main event fighter's should be getting a million minimum! A class act , a true warrior, a top lightweight, and a genuine guy, deserves a heck of a lot more .. With companies like Reebok and ESPN funding the UFC, this million is a small percentage of total revenue. 18% is fighter pay. That includes USADA costs.. so basically fighter pay is a joke ..

That’s how it is man. Every fighter is gonna feel it in the next 5-10 years. Both Dustin and hooker took tons of damage. Showed how much heart they got

Can't prove you wrong. Dustin has always been one of my favorite fighters, maybe my number 1 favorite. Close to GSP. Both classy, intelligent and in the top of MMA.
Dustin's one of the most honest guys out there and someone who's true to himself...So RESPECT for that...and he's a good fighter too...Kudos to him! 👍👏👏👏
This was one of, if not the most honest interviews in mma i've ever watched. I know Dustin's not "the nicest mofo" in mma, as there's wonderboy, holloway, etc., but have to say it really felt like Dustin was just really so honest, straightforward, and classy. And after a win like that to boot. Props to you Dustin! Inspiring.
no one can deny Dustin is a real class act, top man much respect.
for sure wish the kids would strive to be like dustin rather than people like conor McGregor
Hard to not cheer for Dustin.
He is the man 💪💎
Happy to be the 666th upvote
Every aspect of him is top notch. Inside/ outside of cage, personality, generosity to savagery is commendable

Been a favorite since Fightville. Like 2010 or '11. Poirier hasn't changed much since then either. Glad that he's getting more and more recognition.
Man real sees real Dustin literally had no problem with saying he lost the first 2 rounds to him.
I can’t stand fighters that are delusional
Connor would have came up with all sorts of excuses
Ferguson too lol
Yea...Kudos to him for that...👍 👏👏👏

i used this as a comment to someone but decided to chare with all, Dustin is definitely one of the greatest fighters just for his record, the opponents he's faced, his weight class, and the era of his weight class with all the best of the best fighting at the same time in that weight class. any of the top 10 in the light weight division in this era are one of the greatest fighters of all time for mma. prove me wrong.
I think anyone in the LW division would need a win over any 2 of Conor, Khabib and Tony to be the GOAT of LW.
Tony is now a has been.....hes 37 pretty sure he will decline in UFC soon
You’re definitely right. At the top 10 in LW it could go to anybody on any night
Can't prove you wrong. Dustin has always been one of my favorite fighters, maybe my number 1 favorite. Close to GSP. Both classy, intelligent and in the top of MMA.
Cant prove you wrong, because YOU are Right haha
Dustin's one of the most honest guys out there and someone who's true to himself...So RESPECT for that...and he's a good fighter too...Kudos to him! 👍👏👏👏
0:53 HIS FOOT WAS A BALLOON 🎈
So good to hear real, honest talk for one of the bests. Impossible not to wish him to be champion soon
Can we start a petition for UFC fighters to get payed more please ✊🏾💙
I'm tired of seeing fighters not get rewarded for the punishment they face.
It will never happen until another organization throws out enough money to poach some of the big names on the UFC roster
100k isn't enough for one fight?? There paid fine quit complaining
“I’m busted up man” this dude is the real deal
Dustin is original! Mad respect
You got to love how much down to earth he is!
Great guy!
Mans got a Ninja Turtles mug...just another reason to like the dude
Yeah, but Tony Ferguson is a ninja turtle.
@@DanielPerez-wy2vu honestly his face did get minced into a turtle by Gaethje so you're not wrong there haha
@@benjaminmajorUT Here's a cookie for trying
This was one of, if not the most honest interviews in mma i've ever watched. I know Dustin's not "the nicest mofo" in mma, as there's wonderboy, holloway, etc., but have to say it really felt like Dustin was just really so honest, straightforward, and classy. And after a win like that to boot. Props to you Dustin! Inspiring.
