I always remember Poirier great quote “when times are good be grateful, when times are bad be graceful” 🔥👏
Love this....
#Greatful
Legend 🤙 win or lose. Same with Justin, both bring it and give us our money's worth every time.
All Respect for the Diamond
He read that from a womans magazine somewhere. I'm going to replace my "live, laugh, love" painting with that.
this guy is fighting back tears and still be so articulate at the same time. respect man.
Yes that's impressive. He knows how to handle himself

“Where I’ve come from, I’ve already won” sent shivers down my spine
Absolutely
Dustin can spit fire on the mic when he wants to, people need to recognize
Its absolutely true for him. He came from nothing and made it like very few have.
All the bullshit arguing about who is better, doesn't matter. Go home while your brain is still functioning. Most of us will never get that victory
Coping mech but eh
I have never respected and admired a man like I do Dustin Poirier. He is the living embodiment of class and humbleness. Family man, business man, and he never makes excuses. You're the fucking man DP
Have you bought the ring yet?

He’s a bad winner what you talking about? And he cries when he loses. So have you practiced your proposal speech yet?
Huge respect to Dustin, man. Usually never see guys who lost like that do these interviews after (thought it was mandatory they go to hospital tbh.) All class.

@beaualoevv you had to wait 7 years and a ton of wars where he's taken crazy shots. 😆 hilariously stupid.
Also glass chin against that kick is kind of relevant. Especially is you didn’t see it which Dustin did it. Call it glass chin all you want you Probally have a couple more layers than Dustin
@@beaualoevvdude took a full soccer kick straight to the head whm glass chin?
Patient Gaethje is the mythical fighter we didn’t know we needed. Both fighters looked good, Gaethje just threw the perfect head kick. Congratulations
i hope he fights the winner of Islam/Charles, it’ll be a really hard matchup for him regardless but let’s see how this new mythical version of him fairs against the 2.
Patient Gathje got slept by Charles
@@proudindian9140do you know what patient means
@@proudindian9140 That’s cause Charles is a menace. Currently my favourite fighter

Dustin is a good man. Good example for young folks. I usually tell my son not to put athletes, actors, politicians ect on a pedestal however there are men like Dustin to keep an eye on. Facing life like a man, fighting back tears but still facing it and knowing what he has in life.
Damn. That sounds inspiring. Can you elaborate for a Young Man myself, Why should we avoid putting the so called „men of success” on the pedestal? You Have my full attention sir. Lets educate
PS i mean it, im No sarcastic whatsoever
Future Hall of Famer. The true fans love you in the good and bad. You're one of the legends of the sport. Respectful, articulate and the literal definition of a class act. Thank you for all you do. We are proud of you.
Hes never won gold in the ufc
If he's HoF that's gonna be one huge, watered down hall lmao
@@PeterTeal77 literally if that's the case may aswell put in every top 5 rank fighter in every division.
Dude was just unconscious and is speaking so fluently, Dustin is a legend and will always be one of my favorite fighters.
He didn't go all the way out, like Usman did. It was a great stoppage
Journeyman he is. He will never touch Undisputed Gold. If he loses one more fight he will retire
@@capalottyslimalini2878Yet here you are on his post fight interview after his LOSS, sad greasy little troll, get a life maybe you’ll retire the keyboard 😂
True but he wasn't totally out cold. He lost awareness for literally one second. You can see his disappointment knowing he lost right as Herb Deen slides next to him
@@capalottyslimalini2878even if he retired after this fight he still has the best resume out of any lightweight 😂😂 stop talkin shit and respect the man. theyre both bmf's
This man holding back tears. He fights with high emotion.

@@luiscaeja6705 So?
Love porier, but it blows me away how very few gave justin a chance. I commented in many comment sections, justin for sure takes this and i couldnt believe the resistance i got.
@@jaseallenson316what are you talkin about did you look at the odds.
"My life is good, my family is good, my daughters are excited for me to get home.. I've won, I've won life"
This guy gets it, massive respect and inspirational stuff wheather you are a fighter or not. McGregor could learn a thing or two from him.
always gotta bring up mcgregor huh😂 talking like you know him personally
McGregor has set his kids up for their one kids' kids. Stfu. Also Poirier could learn a few things from Conor considering he's never won a UFC belt and Conor won two.
Commenting as if McGregor hasn't won in life, rent free
@@Kevinjj1991money doesn’t always = winning. He loves fighting but doesn’t fight, that’s a depressed drugged up man. He’s very successful still though but it’s not everything
lol this dude is the saltiest winner I've ever seen. And now he's eating some humble pie and you're comparing mcgregor humble in victory or defeat. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
42nd fight in MMA. Thats a lot of training and alot of heart. Great man. Nothing to be ashamed of. Still proud of you Dustin.
Props to Dustin for not being a sore loser.
He was never a sore loser. He's a sore winner 😢

Justin & Dustin both embody what being a UFC fighter is all about. Both are must see everytime they fight. Not sure where DP goes from here but I hope we see him again
I think he takes one more fight at the most. Just cuz he doesnt want to go out like that. But wouldnt be suprised if he is done.
Not sure? He looked great... Just got caught
@@jaseallenson316 He's only 34 and a lifelong competitor, he'll be back. Only way I can see him retiring anytime soon is if he loses his next fight bad.
Dustin aint going anywhere. Just a part of the game at the top level. One loss doesn't end his career . Theres obviously a trilogy gonna be had now
Trilogy for sure before he retires.
So much respect for Dustin. I wanted Justin to win, but I didn’t want Dustin to lose. Complete class act for holding his head high. This fight inspired many people in many different ways.
Man, that fight was tough to watch. Been a fan of both these guys for a while now, but I hated seeing that happen to DP. He's an absolute class act and a genuine dude. Wishing him nothing but the best moving forward.
What a class act…Dude has won me over as his career progressed. Honour, courage, work ethic…the whole package as a man
A proper gatekeeper.
Always a contender, not a gatekeeper
@@isaacdoodzthat’s what always being a contender means. Isn’t good enough for the belt, so he is used to test if people are
After his loss to Conor, he became a warrior.
Never thought I'd see him KOd like that at 155. Just so durable & tough. Glad if it were to happen it was by Gaethje.
Dude literally got put out by MJ

You won in life my man. Thank you for being a true role model, an inspiration throughout the years leading by example how a true hardworking and humble man should carry himself.❤👊🤙
He took this like a man. That was a pretty nasty knockout, so I'm impressed he still made a point to come do press afterwards. Made no excuses. Fought back tears while still answering everybody's questions. Pure class in defeat.
This is one of those fights I loved but hated cause I didn’t wanna see either of them lose. But I am so happy for Justin. That was PHENOMENAL.
So many feel the same way.
Same, anyone who respects the game respects Justin & Dustin.
Ya buddy! Felt the same
So true totally agree. Love them both and both stand up guys. Sucks to see either loose. Love but hated this.
Insane to do a press conference after a ko like that! What is this dude made of. Respect for the diamond, real warrior 💯
Headshot dead ☠️!!
Wasn’t a brutal ko tbh
@@MrSavage100 but it was bruh...
@@MrSavage100you the only one who said brutal
@@MrSavage100every head kick that knocks you out is brutal.could cause so much damage.
That quote at 4:21 is amazing. Both of these guys deserve all the success in this game and it was a fight where you hate that someone had to lose.
That’s exactly how I take life now.. I day at a time and sometimes one minute at a time.. I’m 1000% an addict and have 45 days clean & sober.. a minute feels like an hour and an hour like a day sometimes.. I know I want to NOT USE by any means necessary..

@@jeffreyissacson2874 of course brother. Stay blessed
I love how this man makes no excuses and at the same time you can feel how disappointed he is, that’s never easy to do especially when you put so much into what you do.
Right! for those people who clearly see just how impressive this interview is and are impressed with how he carries himself that speaks volumes about yourself. If you're not thoroughly impressed with Dustin as a man then you're likely not on the right path as a man. Didn't get the outcome he wanted but the outcome meant very little in defining his success or failure overall. Dustin represents what every young athletes should aspired to reach.
Dude is such a genuine article. This fight was heartbreaking because I didn’t want either guy to lose, I definitely didn’t want either guy to get hurt too bad. They’re both just the cream of the crop. Dustin isn’t done
Poirier is the definition of class. So glad to see he’s come out of this KO okay. Gaethje also a legend and this is what this sport should be about. Win with class lose with class. Big respect
He’s a fake nice guy, did he “win with class” when he was in Dan Hookers face talking sh** even though the fight was over and Dan could hardly stand or talk?
@@evosteff Hooker called Dustin out and was talking hot shxt, then got put on a stretcher. Poirier showed mad respect BEFORE and AFTER. U talking nonsense
@@evosteffHooker was the idiot there
@@GassOnly Your comment proves my point. Everybody acknowledges pre fight talk ends when the fight ends, except Poirer, and that’s what you’re arguing 😆 as far as Dan getting “put on a stretcher” for what he said, Dustin got flatlined…. His only option is to be gracious
@@evosteff noww i see, how did Dustin hurt your feelings?🤣🤣
The way he articulate the fight games is what life is all about. Just cause you put in the work dont guarantee a W at the end of the day! Keep grinding Champ! You are inspiring many peoples lives out here!
Dustin is not only showing maturity but showing the heart of a champion.
What a great man! What a great example! When you handle defeat like this - you are still a winner! Thank for your greatness, Dustin!
He is not. He just got absolutely destroyed. Dont put a potato medal over his head thats pathetic.
@@tomascech6772 lol I think he handled it brilliantly and in my OPINION he's a champion.
Your opinion may differ and you're very welcome to it, because this is, after all, a public forum.
Anyway, as you will never be in his position, and tough-talk is easy from the stalls, you will never know what he's gone through and the courage it took, so it's all just opinion and flimflam!
Best,
@@tezzo55 In your OPINION maybe but thats about it. In that case every fighter in UFC is a champion. LOL
@@tezzo55 This guy had literally 3 opportunities to become a champion and messed up all of them. So call him a warrior or whatever but not a champion.
@@tomascech6772 Then tell me, is Cowboy Cerrone a champion?
The last time Poirier was KO’d was back in 2015... This man has a hellva of chin but that just shows the power in Gaethje’s Arsenals
That kick was quick man
Very few people if any would survive that kick lol
@@brandonpacheco9713dont exaggerate
@@cowflick1180 it's true tho, who wouldnt get KO by that unless maybe youre ngannou lol
@@chunkystyle3311 yea of course everyone would get kod, I was talking about the surviving part
"Where I come from, Ive already won". This is absolutely true, Poirier really came from nothing, just an average everyday kid from south Louisiana that saw the early UFCs and wanted to do that. He made his dream come true. He really is just a normal dude, a normal dude that focused on a goal, made it happen, and is now world famous and a multi millionaire. Great interview.
Probably one of the best post fight interviews I’ve seen.
We love you Dustin you’re a straight up warrior! Don’t get in your head about any of this you’re a legend in the sport and you just added another legendary fight to your legacy!
No we don't. He's 🗑 😂
@@ivotenotocensorship5247 sitting on ur ass, shit talking another adult is a sad sad life
For a guy who just got KO’d, Dustin in all class. He doesn’t over think or dwell on what could have been done.
What else should class? Like its not enough he is almost crying. Pathetic fighter.
@@tomascech6772homie what the fk r u even saying?? Can u learn some English please? 🤣
Absolutely I respect tf outta this dude he is a great role model for a fighter or anyone
@@tomascech6772 watch a different sport if you don't know how to respect the player.heck,don't even watch any sport.
Love his mindset after losses. Definition of Hall of Famer. Nothing but tippable 🤜👊🤛
This dude is an inspiration, not just as a fighter but how to approach life. awesome stuff
Dustin is an absolute legend! So inspiring even after a loss. That rematch is gonna be epic.
rematch for what? you mean if Justin gets a title shot and wins? Why would they rematch a gimmick belt
@@cheezyandgreasy I don’t care about the belt they 1 and 1 the decider would be interesting
Respect to him for still showing up to the press conference
This man is as special as they come man, took a clean head kick and looked great up untill that point. Unfortunate loss but I think he will be back with more great performances in the future, didn’t look like he lost a step.
Man, this is why I love fighting. These killers at the end of the day are the toughest BMFs out there win or lose they are honestly great men and very inspirational to see stuff like this. This is how you should carry yourself, especially in defeat. Much respect 🙏🏻
I love this man. He could have won and Gaethje even admitted luck was involved, but Gaethje showed up tonight. God bless these men
Lol Gaethje shouldn’t have said that luck thing
He's a 🤡 and so are you 😂😂😂
he was being humble lmao
@user-ct7ib8yk6f luck is always a factor. He set it up nice but if not the whole fight may have went like that first round and he'd be the loser
@@1999_rebornOh yeah cause honesty and authenticity are lame
His shorts pulling was so extreme in the first round, it’s like a coping mechanism, a reaction to a serious stress that he can’t control
the reporter who asked that question knew what it was, he asked that question like such a weasel. disrespectful af. idk that journalists name but if anyone can tell me, i'd appreciate it so i can never look at any of their content Lol
@@PAWGmoth oh yeah I just got to that questions, turns out they asked him that. Well yeah it was uncomfortable, but Dustin surely did it a lot in this fight for some reason.
@@Jaa_morant it’s an odd thing he does it every fight, there’s a bunch of funny compilations on it lol. I don’t think hes ever got caught when he does it, could be wrong tho
He's always done that. It's almost like a reset after each exchange.
Muay thai fighters do the same thing
Alot of fighters when asked about specific events in the bout will say "I will have to watch it back" or sometimes they just dont remember. Dustin always seems to remember the smallest details. A testament to his awareness and lucidity in the cage. Truly a student of the game.
Dustin is such a wholesome dude he might not be the flashiest or the most popular but damn sure he’s one of the best strikers also humble at the same time… was amazing to hear Justin say he’s his favorite fighter shows how much he respects Dustin and how much that loss meant to him
Dude is a legend! Best in the game! Carries himself with nothing but class. One of my favorite fighters. Congrats to gajeth, well deserved win. he has improved his skills bigtime and it showed tonight! Much respect to both fighters, they are both top tier l, notice there was no beef and nothing but massive respect across the board!
justin winning the belt and then dustin taking the belt in a trilogy would be amazing. love to see both fighters become champ at least once.
Not gonna happen cause Charles and Islam both will sub him
Not gonna happen cause Charles and Islam both will sub him
@rippindrummer666 ye they are both insane but you never know with guys that have the power of Justin. Justin rocked Charles multiple times and even though charles gets rocked a lot that fight could have been Justin's if just a few things went differently
I dont know its humanly possible to show so much class and be this humble. Inspiring. Special guy the diamond
Forever one of the all time greats! Regardless of wins and losses.. titles or not. Spot in the Hall of Fame secured and your place in the history of the sport has been secured for some time now. God bless you and your family Dustin!
Dustin you the man.. thanks for being who you are, and setting the example you set
Dustin you’re one of the best no matter what from here! True warrior spirit and embodiment of what a UFC fighter should be! Amazing company man, gives a lot to charity, puts his family first and fights for everything with all of his heart ❤️ you have won in life!
These two guys are true titans. Both sooo real, humble, diligent...real inspirations. Osss 👊
You are such a humble amazing person. Keep being you. You have already won at life, mate. Big love n respect ✊
Always feel weird when they interview fighters after KO losses.
Obviously guys wanna express themselves all of that, but he’s slightly concussed, tired, and definitely sad/disappointed af. Glad to see Dustin at least on face value handling it well initially.
He is nothing you said
One of the greatest LW's of all time! Much respect to the man 👊
Probably number 3
Probably not even top 15
@@Squirrelpadre preposterous
1000% class ! What a role model ! Just sucks whenever a belt is on the line ! Justin just cant catch a break ! Respect!
Preach niger
Honest. Humble. Respectful. No excuses. All class. What a G
When you think about it, that first mental and physical arse whoopin Dustin took from Conor set him on a path of greatness. The guy is a true warrior poet. He’s become probably my all time favorite fighter. He has become comfortable in his own skin. That’s hard to do my friends
Stuff happens man, nothing to take away against Dustin. The kick was just picture perfect
Looked great in there as always. I hope dp comes thru again and don’t lose that fire
I loooove this dude as a human as a father and as an athlete! Respect from top to bottom in everything he does!
Dustin is one of the best to do it and hands down my favorite fighter . He will be back , he’s never lost back to back fights . This dude is an absolute legend and such a humble dude he is comfortable in his own skin and knows his worth . Nobody would have done a press conference after that. But he also didn’t get knocked out it was a flash KO and defiantly a lucky kick by Justin he even said so after the fight . Keep your head up Dustin your the man
Wouldn’t mind a trilogy with Gaethje. They’re one a piece with finishes.

Poirier always comes back ready. "He'll be back for that hit." He's a warrior. Poirier vs Gaethje 3, the Trilogy. As a fan, I love it.
I still believe he’s one fight away from another shot at the title don’t give up hope Dustin your fans still want you here.. you just got caught don’t beat yourself up to much brotha 🤞🏾
dustin is classy as hell. nun but respect
Props to him for doing after getting KO’d
Love porier. Just a genuine man….
He was actually winning and performing better prior to the KO….
And fair play to him….he tried getting back up immediately. Can’t get any stronger.
I would love to see a trilogy
Both are champs in my mind. respect to both
Legend for doing this press! Dustin is class, he'll be back
Without a doubt one of the greatest lightweights to ever do it. Nothing but absolute respect and admiration for Dustin. He'll be back.
The fact this guy actually met with the media after that. I love dustin, this dude is a warrior. And such a good dude. Thanks for setting such a great example for people.
Watched this live in the bar everybody was in shock 💀 Never ever expected Dustin to go out like that and neither did anyone else honestly 2nd round is fast as hell Justin swung that f***in crane of a kick and smashed with pure force on Poriers neck, Im suprised he didnt break part of it. Dustin even had high guard and he looped his foot around it dead on.
Lol
I remember when I watched dustin fight conor the first time and I was like man he got destroyed, and then I watched him fight at 155 and just watching him grow his skill set and maturity in this sport is remarkable. Pure warrior spirit with great work ethic and a humble personality. Always a top g. Favorite fighter of all time.
You’re a true man and an inspiration! Thanks bro!! Much love!
Dustin you are a true warrior and a top of the shelf human being. Awesome press conference with humility and professionalism.
Absolutely one of the best!!!
Dustin is my BMF, love that guy
Honestly felt he looked a small step behind all fight. Usually his defense is a bit sharper than it was tn. Justin was tagging him constantly & he wasn't checking those kicks again.
Justin was moving much better this time. He made the changes to win.
Agree with both of you ⬆️
@@rickjones5399 As a DP fan gotta agree, Justin looked on point, his footwork and shot selection were on point and he stayed composed, I just feel like we got robbed of a good 5 round dog fight, but it is what it is, fair play.
Porier becomes good as fight increases he learns from observation.
No ..he looked sharp ..he rocked justin...he didn't go for the kill..justin threw a new kick
You can tell this is damn near killing him, yet he sat there like a gentleman and spoke to the media. Much respect to Dustin.
I was so torn with this. Two of my favorite fighters. God bless both.
Class act like always by Dustin. Legend
Big respect to Dustin
All class Dustin 🙌 you re a legend of the sport bro. Take some time to recover then come back stronger fam! ❤
I love this guy, so professional, loves the game, and truly loves this game. I can't wait to see him in the octagon again!
LEGEND LOVE THIS GUY.
That reporter at 6:06 was good! Guy knows how to make fights 😂
Dustin is my favorite fighter. Nothing but love and support for you man. I hope to see you in the ring again. I wish you the best.
Keep that head up DP--your fans love you and you make us so proud. Let's get 'em again
Dustin is a hell of a fighter, can’t wait to see him holding the undisputed title one day. He deserves it so much! Keep your hands up dustin, your time to shine will come, definitely!
It's gonna be tough man. Guy lost pretty bad tonight so the only way I see him getting back into title contention is by facing an upcoming prospect, like a gamrot, arman or grant dawson. Even then we have monsters sitting at the top of the rankings so we'll shall see
This was one of those fights that unfortunately somebody had to loose. Both are awesome warriors and hopefully only good things in the future for both of them.
Classy in victory and defeat, honorable, and family oriented. You sir are a great man and a great warrior.
This dude just got KO’d he shouldn’t have to do media he should be in the hospital at least to be safe
He doesn't have to do it. He chose to
he wasn’t out, he was dazed. why would he be at the hospital lol
@@beaualoevvhe was completely out lucky he didn’t die from being unconscious so long. Time to go home to promiscuous wife and dissapoinyed kid and talk about when he was a one hit wonder
Really not sure what kind of fight Dustin will take next if he doesn’t wanna fight an up-and-comer. Hope he makes another run for the belt but after two failed attempts and now knocked out of contention, who knows. Hard to see him lose like that.
man what a amazing and hard fight to watch i loved both these guys and i didnt wanna see either lose . You're still the man too Dustin
This guy is the most honest spider ever. And I have been watching them since that documentary and keeping track of him. He has evolved into an awesome fighter but more importantly, an awesome human being easy to root for in like.
Poor guy. You really feel for him! I'm suprised he didn't read that kick. Gaethje can lie all he wants but after I saw that him throw that kick in the first round you knew he was gonna throw it again in the second. For sure he practiced that kick on kamaru so he wouldn't get caught with it in leon usman 2. This guy's deserves to be a champion tho. I hope he gets it. Hands down one if my favorite fighters!!
“i’m surprised he didn’t read that kick” dustin ate 8 leg kicks in the first round, he was thinking low. he even said that he was surprised when gaethje threw a head kick in the first round, it’s not something he usually does. amazing gameplan and setup by gaethje/his coaches.
I was there! Seeing Gaethje flip off the cage after he won is something I’ll never forget!
He does that every win. He almost ran into Poiriers head😮
I'm so scared he's gonna hurt himself when he does that
That's what a real fighter is all about!! Always feel humble!! Go Dustin!!
So much respect for Dustin, he’s a great role model. From what I’ve seen he really seems to be a kind and moral person.
Absolutely devastated but this guy is the definition of no bullshit, win or lose. Enjoy him while he's here
