Win or lose Dustin deserves to be in the hall of fame, he's been in so many big fights, been a great representative of the sport and is one of the greatest lightweights of all time.
He will be!!!
bdsm🇫🇷🇫🇷 poirier getting knocked tf out face first and will retire. we are ready ❤️
How so? he's just a fighter who's won and lost some good fights
conor caved dustbins head in
@@chauncy4166Bro look at his resume, who he has beaten. His losses to Khabib and Oliveira do not mean he does not deserve to be in that Hall Of Fame.
Huge respect to Dustin for taking this fight. Tough opponent and fighting down in ranking
Yeah because the only one that is above him he didn’t fight is an automatic loss. He had to choose wisely .
Ran from conor
Yeah cuz he got ktfo by bumthje
He had to dummy he lost his last fight he had no other choice but to fight down
@@coldestbeer😂 good one
Brett must of asked him atleast 10x why does he want to fight still...dude this is a badass fight stop talking about the end of his career
horrible interviewer
Fr, any of us could have a personality as wooden as Brett's and ask his usual monotone "So what excites you about this fight" questions
I wonder what he means when he says fighting takes something from him every time (95% of the time)
It’s all he ever asks the boring interviewer
He shouldve asked dustin what he thinks about BSD debut where he got mauled but survived. Like how do you not ask him his thoughts on that fight. So whack
Dustin gotta show the haters again how it's done.
that's what they said about Volk. But yes, I got Dustin here.
Gonna show the haters what it's like to get head kick KO'd again!
Dustin “the redneck” hillbilly. Bout to get KOed again!
💀
@@user-fx5cd4px3kthen stfu if you got Dustin
That last statement was deep man
conor’s kid
you have no dad, Conor don’t want you either
Jolie's woife
@@coldestbeer Apparently we have another one with no father figures in their life.
@kggarkalns1358 Dustin has a father figure though, it's conor
it is absolutely insane how espn has consistently the worst quality footage out of any one out there
who cares about the visuals? the problem is the low quality interviews and lame nothing burger questions, its so obvious Brett has nothing interesting to ask
Disney is losing so much money they don't even care the product they put out rn
😅
LMAO they trapped in like 1999
@@Ar1AnX1x this dudes interviewing skills are horrible
You have a legend in front of you and waste everyone's time with wack questions.
I can't understand how this guy is doing these interviews. He just doesn't know the game at all.
dude that’s what I’m saying!! This guy STINKS!
Ya get this dude outta here
Show him how it's done then, coward
@@lovefist86^Brett Okamoto's alt account
wow the way Brett is talking to Dustin 😤 Guy is a UFC legend. Go Dustin from the UK fans
Pressure makes Poirier 💎
bdsm🇫🇷🇫🇷 poirier getting knocked tf out face first and will retire. we are ready ❤️
conor caved his head in
@@beaualoevv10 years ago goofy. BSD lost to someone who’s been in the ufc for 10 years and never been ranked. This is Dustin’s first fight outside the top 5 in 7 years
@@beaualoevvConor did a lot of things….nothing after 2016 though
as a BSD fan. We do not claim this beaualevv guy lol
We are with you bro. No matter what happens, your my all time favorite fighter and human being. Really gonna suck when the real ones are done fighting.
Its crazy how many times people expect this man to prove himself, again. BSD looks great, but he’s never been in there with anyone even close to Dustin’s level. You really think Dustin couldn’t wipe out Matt Frevola in about 90 seconds?
People said similar things are Ilia vs Volk, bsd will win
Same thing ppl said about Sean when he fought Yan and even if you thought he lost the fight and Yan won you can’t deny he can hang with people at Yan’s level, top contenders. Give BSD a chance to prove himself before doubting
@stevenstrasz8631 sean had reach and size advantage in. A standup matchup. BSD V DP is a grappler striker matchup.
conor caved dustbins head in lol
@@willavery5124no ilia actually fought josh emmet who is very underrated. Anyone who’s been in there with emmet doesn’t come out unscathed.
I'm French but I much respect this man because he is humble and I know he will fight like a dog till the end! Much respect also for his courage to accept a fight with someone so far away in rank. So while I hope BSD will win, I really can't say now who is gonna win, i respect both warriors and can't wait for this beautiful combat!
Huge respect for Dustin from France! Love how respectful those two guys are about each other, you don't need to trash talk your opponent to be a beast in the octagon!
Okamoto interviews just feel like he's doing these because he has to, with zero preparation, just coming up on the spot and asking boring questions, its impressive how easy his job is and how he still somehow fumbles it
dam i thought he asked some good ones lol what would you ask im genuinely curious?
@@anthonydejesus22 it’s just the cool thing to say, under ever Brett interview u will see weirdos saying something along those lines or how he has no personality 😂😂 just ignore them
completely agree repetitive af
And he’s too wordy in allll of his interviews. Bretts the worst in all of mma
@@cyclone4060 I didn't attack him as a person at all, learn to read dude
It's a miracle guys like Poirier can even speak, the human body is a work of art
bdsm🇫🇷🇫🇷 poirier getting knocked tf out face first and will retire. we are ready ❤️
Okay little weirdo
@beaualoevv you said BDSM instead of BSD
@@beaualoevvYour autocorrect did you in and revealed your pawn searches
@@beaualoevv bdsm bruh?
Career longevity in mma is under rated by the fan base and DP is being modest. If he retired right now his career would be much more impressive than most UFC champions.
Crazy to hear him talk about legends..He truly doesn't realize he is a legend also!!
If Dustin beats this maniac i will buy his hot sauce
They sell it at Walmart for $10 a bottle the creole maple is the best flavor
Same
@@wildberry752thanks for the info
I've bought it specifically for this fight😅
We love you 💎.
Louisiana represented!
Authentic, humble, thoughtful. Why Poirier will always be my fave.
Such a great guy to hear, always genuine. Absolute legend. I wish him the best but will be backing BSD as a fellow french man.
I love Dustin! A true warrior and always respectful and honest about every situation in life. I wish him nothing but the best for the rest of his career and when he’s ready to retire I can respect that!
thankful I got to watch DP's career
Me too. What a great time to be an MMA fan its been. Dustin and Justin got me into the sport.
Never forget how conor finished him
what about how he finished conor?@@coldestbeer
We are all supporting you Dustin!! Let’s go!!!
always have and always will support the diamond!!! amazing family man, person, and fighter. ❤💎
Brett okamoto is dry as Dustin is tough
😂 true
Worst interviewer in all of mma
Great chill interview
Thanks for the video, ESPN MMA
😊 You're an awesome example of a gentleman in a real fight game. I applaud you sir
This honesty and the real from DP is so refreshing and admirable. Really hoping he can bounce back. Him as an underdog is just pure disrespect!
Dustin’s a warrior this fight is gunna be one to remember for sure 💯🔥
The fact Dustin doesn’t want his daughter to see him fight, just shows he knows it’ll be a bloodbath
I can’t describe it but i love that dude Dustin you are the man you know how there’s some people “famous” that you know that if you were to meet you would just click with. God luck diamond I know you will persevere through this fight!! God bless brother
Love Dustin. He’s one of the real ones in the fight game. Good dude, family man, doing great things with his foundation as well. Can’t wait to watch him this Saturday. LFG 💎💎💎
why does it look like it was shot on a PAL camera from the UK in 1986?
I wonder what he means when he says fighting takes something from him every time (95% of the time)
Always delivers! What a fighter.
Poirier is a legend, much respect and love from France. Regardless of who wins, it'll be a great fight that I can't wait to watch!
These questions were excellent
The 💎 showing his quality once again
My favorite fighter. DP always inspires me with his words and wisdom. God bless him!
Dustin the diamond, one of the best ever,30 UFC fights with only bangers
Prayers to you Dustin and for all fighters out there. It’s a tough sport with horrible consequences
This guy has mountains of fans ...a fighting Legend
I can tell this dudes face has been through some wars
Face of a legend
dont look at the face, look at the ears
@@psychopathichomosapienears are part of the face
conor caved his head in true
@@beaualoevv he slept conor too and youve never been in a fight fairy
This Saturday the Diamond will shine again 💎
Dustin Poirier fight weeks are always exciting, super hyped for his fight with Benoit Saint Denis, will be a war. 👏👏👏
Ready to see this fight
Let's go Dustin. Ufc legend. One more time. Even if he is not a ufc champion but he is peoples champion
such a nice guy! i am french so i will root for benoit but dusin is really a great person
100% my fav ever UFC fighter. Such a nice humble killer dude.
The Diamond defending his top 5 position this weekend. I am rooting for him.
jesus WHY does it have to be Okamoto as the interviewer? IS HIS DAD THE CEO OF ESPN OR WHAT????
Totally agree, I hate his vanilla reporting style 🤦♂️
I thought he asked pretty good questions here
bro don't hate on Okamoto.... if you're having trouble sleeping, put on one of his interviews and I swear it'll put you down for the count
Is it just how monotone he can be? I think he always asks interesting questions and usually gets a good interview out of the fighters.
I hate when he starts answering his own question, like bro shut up, let it go where it goes.
love el diamante! huge fan for a long time. LFG brother win or lose youre the fkin man!
Lets go DP one of my favorites fighters of all time ❤
He is one of my favorite fighter ..Go Dustin u still got it champ
Cheering for Dustin hardcore. What a savage. Deserves all the credit, don’t let down my parlay bruh!
I really respect this man
Dustin Poirier never disappoints anyone. Favorite fighter of all time. "Paid in Full".
He gotta pull out the “don’t count them chickens nah mean” when he wins 💪🏽
How bout that Dan?
Amazing fighter and equally admirable human being-💎💎💎
Dustin is a class act. My favourite fighter.
Still good luck and respect always.👊🙏
Respect from France. A true Legend, a good guy. But now it's time for Benoît to enter in the history of UFC.
Love Dustin! Hope he shines like a diamond!
Always been one of my favorite fighters .. was truly shocking when he knocked out McGregor the first time ! El diamente
I give Dustin Props for taking the fight , reason being this is a Rocky to drago moment you pull this one off you on a diff level then retire & chillax comfy my boy you got this Shon Lesssss goooooooooooo 🥊
Gotta respect the 💎
im from new orleans and he is my favorite fighter. the people he has fought is insane. best of the best and he grew up in the UFC and we watched him get better.
I rly hope he snags that 30th win this week and can bounce back after his losses. He needs a win.. hes always fighting savages though
What a guy!
The Frenchman gets hit a lot but has decent grappling and power reminds me of the Chandler fight excited to see how this goes.
Rooting For Dustin All The Way, Absolutely 🗣️🗣️😤😤
Congratulations on your career Dustin 🙏
Much love for Dustin. He's earned his stripes and then some. I gotta take BSD though
Future hall of famer for sure. What I love the most about Porier, is that he is an absolute animal in the cage... but just in the cage. A lot of fighters, de Masvidals of the world, are just animals who are cut loose to fight inside an octagon. Porier controls his primal instincts in order to survive, but they're in there not to control him and to make him a savage, but to make him more civilized... to make him more in control and helping him to keeping it real. He is a ture champion, with or without the belts.
Dustin is a warrior didn't duck nobody I think he will win this fight and know he will leave all in the cage he's our boy down here homies win or lose
LEGEND.
I dont understand why no one bring up Dustin Poirier's French Heritage as he is fighting à Frenchman, someone of his Ancestor's Land ? I know Americans are very patriotic but in the past, Poirier did bring up his French Heritage ( and it was obvious given his last name is typically French, plus he was born in Louisiana, Lafayette ! 😅 and his wife's name is also french > which means Pretty ).
Poirier spoke à bit about his Heritage, has à fleur de lys ⚜️ tatooed .. it would have been very interesting to me to hear about Poirier's family's History and a beautiful act to connect him with his Roots, as French audience knows very well about his French Blood ..
Poirier is American, but he said to be very proud of his Cajun Background as well many times, how hard it was for them in America as if im not mistaken, they would not have the right to speak French .. ? I would have liked to know more, instead of the same typical questions before à fight 🙃 ..
Poirier vs Saint Denis, it cannot be more French than that ..
As a FrenchMan myself ( Part French/Part Argentine ) i would have been very interested in his Family's root, know more about Cajun people ..
Great Man.
Dustin is a true competitor 💯
We're with you Dustin 🙏🏼🥊
Not the biggest fan but gotta give this guy his respect and flowers
Somehow, this is the most interested I have been for a Dustin's fight.
His other fights were interesting not because of him, this fight is a story of himself.
As much as I like Dustin this is the perfect time to fight him
My favourite fighter.. will be sad when he goes. I want nothing more than to see him take the belt. Id love for him to pull off a bisping
Dustin is already a champion in the game and in life. I don’t care if that belt says “interim” you look at that man’s resume, he is a champion of the sport for life! 💎
Dustin is hands down my favorite fighter win lose or draw Dustin is the real deal!
The diamond a true warrior my favorite fighter of all time
I would love to see Dustin win the title. Been so close 2 times, and would like to see him win it.
Let's go DP!!🔥🔥👊👊
Great interview.✔️
0:15 He's fought in Atlanta though. That's closer to Miami than New Orleans.
Dustin deserves huge respect
So much better and proffessional questions, than the dump stuff interviewers asked at press compf
The fact that this guy still has his job is wild to me
Can’t wait to see DP fight 💥
He'll definitely be in the UFC HALL OF FAME. He's a veteran of MMA. 💎⚜️👊
guys like Gaethje and Poirier(or Oliveira have been fighting only top 10 fighters for nearly a decade and they're still at the top, it is actually rare to last this long, even a lot of Elite fighters don't last this long on top
Comeon Dustin. Show the world you still have that dawg in you. That's what this fight is all about.
Who knew that DUSTBIN poirier would become so good
"A piece of me is gonna leave that I could never get back". Dam.
