The way Ariel effortlessly steered the convo away from Dustin’s sadness and into the joy of his daughter in Vegas was some of the most next level interview skills I’ve ever witnessed
After beating Kayla down about contracts for 30 min he knew he had to tone it down.
That's Just what i thought🤛
@lasthumankind he recognized his talent and u call him a nuthugger? Grow up bratha
@lasthumankind you must be really insecure. I hope you learn to be your own man soon.
Factssss
Dustin is still the man. You can see and hear the heartbreak in his voice. You know how much this means to him and I respect him for his love of the sport.
Absolutely! I agree 100%
Ariel does well in these types of interviews, understanding and asks hood questions.
Wears his heart on his sleeve.
Journey man
I think Dustin needs to move up to welterweight and have some of those money fights at this point in his career like Diaz and Colby and even the 4th fight with Conor at 170
Dustin made himself the no1 contender in the most stacked devision in the sport twice, robbed the bank of Ireland twice and brought such positivity to the sport. Your contributions are your belt dude.
The real truth
He’s certainly a lock for the Hall of Fame regardless of what the path in front of him looks like
Got his ass whooped by the bank of Brazil scared to rematch Olivera
He robbed ireland bank at 200lbs lol. No wonder he wont fight at 155..weight cut too much
@@UnrulyLK He got choked out by Brazil and will never win a legit belt history books read journey man
Anthony Pettis Eddie Alvarez Justin Gaethje Max Hollaway x2 Dan Hooker Conor x2 Y’all can’t criticise he’s resume. Definitely one of the greatest lightweights
Conor one we can’t judge that fight out come look Chandler and Dustin after the first round lol
Max Holloway 1 was at fw
@@lacosa24x Dustin still would have won because Conor was delusional after their second fight in Abu Dhabi. If your delusional then you can’t make adjustments to your flaws.
What a body of work!
@@Amali70_4 how was he delusional
“To show her that all that time away from her was worth it.” It was worth it Dustin. Any child would be so blessed to have you as a father. You are an awesome human being. We win some and we lose some. But we live to fight another day.
Yep. He's one in 10 million
Ariel does well in these types of interviews, understanding and asks hood questions.
That whole part almost made me shed a tear.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Olivera is his daddy
Agreed man. Dustin is just a solid dude. He may have lost but he's winning in life. Making a great living doing something he loves, has a beautiful family, has a foundation that does a lot of good. Nothing but love, he's a great role model
It hurts to see Dustin in that mood. He is such a classy man, he doesn't need a belt to be a champion. He is the real people champ.
I feel since he beat Conor twice, he wasn't as sad and content with the money he made to the point where he can live a good life and donate to charities and organizations. He definitly learned from Conor throughout his career.
Ariel does well in these types of interviews, understanding and asks hood questions.
He does need the belt to be Champion 😑
@@Mii44444 he beat Conor once
@@TreyJaySoSway 🤔🤔weird ....the record books say different. The facts outweigh your feelings.
22:20 was the best thing I can say I’ve heard from Ariel in a while. Usually he just says it, but that one felt genuine. Dustin is a gangster, he’ll always be loved
Ariel is an eloquent man
Aye
What I respect and love about Dustin is that he’s open, he lets his heart out. He’s honest. Overall a great human being. Will always have my support.
Win/Lose/Draw, Dustin is who he Truly is, An all-around Awesome Human Being. Have nothing but the utmost RESPECT for him and his Family/Team. One thing he said in this interview that was wrong, He will get that shot again and WILL become a UFC Champion! Everything aside, If there were more Human Beings, like Dustin, this World would be a Better Place. Dustin, You got this!💪🙌💪
@Nsnsndns Bsbsndns Why You say that? He just doesn’t talk it, He walks it, Look what he does with his foundation, Helps Others.
@Nsnsndns Bsbsndns yesssss keep listening to everything Colby says. Dumbass.
I'm a fan but realistically, seeing the monsters coming up, I think it was Justin's last chance.
unfortunately he will never become the 155 champ as long as Makhachev and Oliveira are fighting
dustin is a Turtle... we all saw the 2 round. karma is coming...
Man, respect to Charles 110%, he's been legit for a long time now but this was definitely heartbreaking if you've been following Dustin's career for a long time. I don't think he's done competing at that level, he'll see another world title opportunity I feel. But for now, it is what it is. He's got some work to do, if and when he wants to get back in there.
he'll never fight for the WW belt. and if he doesn't see himself fighting LW anymore, there's no belt in his future.
Charles clearly cheated. You can argue that it didn’t matter but that’d be one hell of a coincidence. Charles was getting destroyed he grabbed the glove then he was winning.
@@wesleystewart1193 wesley, stop crying please
Dustin swamp trash is a gate keeper
He needs more than his boxing skilla to be the champ.
Love this man so much. I was at UFC269 and the energy was incredible. Dustin, you haven’t lost a single fan!!!!

🙏🏽 Impressive that he can share his regrets with his ego compromised so soon. Dudes a champ even without the belt.
That was dumb advice to weather the storm by his corner
No he’s not you’re not a champ If you don’t win the belt he’s a nearly guy he’ll never be champ suck it up *insert comment about how he’d still whoop a random guys ass in the comments*
@@khabibcherrypicker5629 you must be great at parties
Not even the biggest Dustin fan but man it always hurts watching a fighter being so brutally honest after a loss.. all respect to Dustin for keeping it real.
So sad to see him feeling so defeated. This man has already won at life. Beautiful family, wealthy beyond measure, and a future hall of famer. That belt means a lot but it isn’t everything Diamond. Look at what you’ve built.
Dustin's not just a great fighter, but has very strong character. That's why he's able to reflect and come back from losses. The Nate Diaz fight would be perfect to get him fired up to compete again.....plus it's a perfect stylistic match up. Nothing but respect to Dustin and Charles. Great interview Ariel.
@Charles Terry PC-258 you lost money on Dustin or was it when he beat your favourite fighter? Why do you take pleasure in trashing another man? Just know you can never make it in life with a mentality like yours.
@Charles Terry PC-258 No need to project your sad life onto someone else
@Charles Terry PC-258 a-hole
Indeed! ESPECIALLY since he says he doesn't really want to cut to 155, and Diaz is a 155er fighting at WW, AND they were supposed to fight before. That or Diaz-Ferguson is the fight to make, but regardless of what the fans want, it seems Dana is willing to throw that under the bus to give Nate a hard time on his way out, and show fighters the UFC holds the cards.
@Charles Terry PC-258 You are the epitome of the word shame.
Bottom line is he underestinated Charles even if he said he didn't. I could tell he wasn't himself that fight, the fact that he was thinking about winning after the first round shows that
True fans realize one (or two, or three, etc) loss doesn’t erase a fighter’s career and accomplishments. Poirier was the man before this fight, and he’ll be the man long afterwards. Much respect, El Diamanté!
Say the same about conor now ...
@@wickipicki4563 True fans realize one (or two or three, etc) loss doesn’t erase a fighter’s career and accomplishments. This is even more true for McGregor, who was the FIRST fighter in UFC HISTORY to achieve simultaneous dual-weight championships. The guys impact on the game cannot be overstated. And to be clear: I’m not even a fan of the guy anymore (due to the way he acts and the totally inexcusable things he’s said), yet even I understand these things about him.
It's so heartbreaking to hear him say he wanted to dedicate the title win to his daughter. The game is cruel. He sounds so lost and unmotivated now that he came up short. I hope he rekindles his love of the sport.
Great interview Ariel, feels like to three friends in a room, one consoling the other on a defeat. Thank you for your effort in providing us a window into Dustin and ofcourse, thank you Dustin for opening the window to share your vulnerability with us. Please do not feel disheartened, your literally right on the cusp of that title. Do not give up... Not yet. Your not done physically and with the love and heart that you have... not even close (unless you don't want or care about the title anymore and I don't see that as true). Give yourself some time away, talk to a cognitive therapist and reinforce that confidence you should have and hit the gym. Hit it hard, but smarter and more thoughtful than before because there is always room for improvement and that what you do. You always get better.. see you at the top!
@Renaldo Matadeen the current second best fighter in the division in the strongest promotion isn't elite. I'm sure you could completely destroy him
Whose the 3rd person?
Yes who's the third person?

Alright Michael "see you at the top" Chandler 😅
Nothing but the utmost respect to The Diamond. I remember watching him on some show with the Tap Out crew at least 15 years ago. To see how he's become a legend of our time has been great to see. He's still got what it takes but you can see he knows his time is limited now. How can you not be a fan of this man.
Am not a fan of his, he hasn't got anything unique in terms of fighting, classic boxing styling... I prefer dustin on the society but on fighting I prefer conor
He uses sick kid as a!prop for his tax write off How can you like that man?
What a great guy Dustin is, really shows a lot of character to come and do this. Nothing but respect for him, he’s a warrior.
I'm proud of you, Dustin! You're as real as it gets! Keep your head up brother! Me along with millions of other people are pulling for you! Rest up champ and I'll look forward to seeing you in the octagon again soon!
Dp!! Love ya man tough hard fought battle. What you do for the people is more of a champion then anyone can say. Whatever you do you always have my support! Great guy great athlete but most importantly. A GRRAT FATHER.
Wow the words ariel said in the end even made me tear up
Thoughtful and truthful at every turn! Truly enjoy watching this guy fight. Even more listening to his thought process and learning about his persona. Hats off to you Mr. Poirier!
Woww some really interesting stuff here - Dustin can remember his exact thoughts after round 1 on top, but the break after round 2 is a blur. He describes feeling off for the fight as well - this all screams to me that Dustin got in his own head and there's a psychological puzzle piece (and peace lol) he's yet to find. I don't know how some fighters can tune the whole world out including themselves, and others can't. But here's to hoping we see Dustin back on top!
Dustin will be back, always been one of my favorite fighters
Never as a champ haha
🇧🇷
Back to irrelevance
Ariel it's been nice watching you come into your own. Especially since you left disney. Keep up the great work my Brother!!!
I feel bad for Dustin, him versus Charles was one of those fights where i didn't want either to lose, both fantastic people who put in the work and give back to others.
same two decent individuals-with no trash talking
God bless you, Dustin. Youre the guy that really got me into this sport. Ill ride with you forever.
Dustin will forever be a champion in many's eyes, including my own. That UFC belt isn't what will define Dustin, the legacy he built through selfless actions outside the cage is what will define him in the end when we all look back. Keep your chin up dawg! 🤙🏽
Always appreciate Dustin for giving us the most exciting fights :-) Sad by the outcome since I like both fighters. A lot of big fun fights for him left.
He just needs to grind on his wrestling. He strking is already level above everyone. Dude was piecing up Oliveira bad.
@@alr1577 You're right, Dustin is a great counter puncher and he managed to drop him 3 times but the pace was extremely high. His wrestling and grappling skills improved training for the Khabib fight, but he made the same problem against Oliviera like he did against Khabib; he focused about the danger more than his own best skills and gameplan. And just lacked a little fight IQ due to that; he got out of balance in the southpaw stance because he extended too much, he couldn't stay in the center of the octagon, and it wasn't much wrestling but not being stable and the lack of his black belt jiu jitsu trust because he didn't try enough to get out and accepted it. Chandler is a white belt in jiu jitsu but his wrestling is anti jiu jitsu, and he took a big chance by jumping backwards when he was in the same posistion as Dustin, and he got out; therefore Chandler has never been submitted... Everytime Oliveira tried to take Dustin down in round 1, he rolled and spinned out of it except for the second round where his right glove was grabbed, and then the fight changed completely...
This comment section says it all. The world loves this man, for good reason. Regardless of what he decides to do, there is no better ambassador of the sport.
I think spending time with his family and focusing on the truly amazing things in life like his daughter will help Dustin a lot. I have no doubts he'll be back in there fighting for the title with a new flame under him burning. The fight game is so tough, especially with loses. Diamante is one of the best to ever do it, and I'm sure the belt will come in time.
Thank you Dustin, you've shown us what it means to be a hard working person through the ups and downs of life, there's so much to take from Dustin journey that we can all incorporate into our own lives, dustin vs colby is what the world deserves
Met both of you 2016 in my wheelchair. I’m so proud of both of you … your both champs on the highest level in both your lanes. This old man says ty so much
Man, how can you not love Dustin. Hes just so genuinely himself, so honest and raw. This was a really great interview Ariel.
One of Ariel’s best interviews.. this was fantastic. All the best Dustin!
Dustin only needs another win and he's right in the title contention again
Never really watched you before but after a loss like this it makes me happy that Ariel just chatted with him about life and what his plans for the future either ufc or home life I really hope Dustin is ok mentally and comes back better then ever glad to see someone like Ariel just talk to him and have a good time
Great interview , very honest. Great job guys...TY
Ariel doesn't get his props for being a damn good journalist, perhaps one of MMA's best interviewers. He asks all of the deep and personal questions that a fan like me would want to ask to get in a fighter's psyche.
I'm still sad about the loss but hey, I hope he pulls through from this! I don't know what else is in store for him but I wish for the best.
Never champ that’s what 🇧🇷
Man Dustin is my fav, I was at work during fight and got so angry and caused a scene, I've been following him. Dude is my role model... it hurts seeing him hurting
This interview was pure. Dustin in the guy, a gem. Hope he does good in future, be it fighting or not, he is the man.
Love Dustin, he's a genuine dude. ✊
Well he definitely won’t be champ at 170 so basically he’s saying he’s a prize fighter now
He switched up after the conor fight, I’d do the same
@@aslam4923 Damn straight, you see fighters after one big fight realize the moneys different when it’s against the right opponent. Alex Volk, Usman, Poirier all seemed to come to an epiphany.
I think he’d be a great prize fighter. Unfortunately, there’s a negative stigma on prize fighters. Dustin would be so entertaining to watch.
You can't pay bills with legacy brother.
@@appledough3843 bro i don’t think dustin cares about the stigma,
Dustin teaches us how to take our losses on the chin and stay winning. Love what he did for the sport
As the sport of MMA evolves new talent rises and new people become stars but it'll take a long time for anyone to be another Dustin Poirier. So humble with so much class and a legend for his work outside the cage as well as in it. I've seen him have as many wars as anyone these last few years and would have loved to see him win the title. I felt he deserved that status because he's a role model for sport. Unfortunatly it didnt happen but I'll be a life long fan and I'll still be talking about his career long after he retires regardless of what he does next like i still do other with other legends.
Nothing but love and respect for Dustin.
😂😂😂🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
@@khabibcherrypicker5629 I'm with ya there too, my wife is from Sao Paolo
I’ve been hearing a lot of MMA KZhead channels trying to downplay Khabibs legacy by comparing title defenses and those kind of stat that they use to determine “greatness” but the way Dustin compared his lose to Khabib and his lose to Charles says it all. In the Khabib fight he said “ I felt like I was bested” this one “ could have done more.” I point this out because in the future if Charles beats Justin people are going to come and claim Charles is better than Khabib. But I think Justin has a little bit more sting to his punchs than Dustin Charles may not survive those.
What a great guy, respectful and completely true. Nothing fake about him, rarely to find a person who is so truthful to own values
I love the willingness of Dustin to be 100% honest about his feelings and to not sugarcoat or hide anything. That takes an incredible deal of strength to be so open to the whole world with how he really feels, to completely expose himself when he's down like this. I have so much more respect for him after this fight. Great man.
Right after the fight when Charles approached Dustin, Dustin said to Charles that he would make a donation of $25K in any charity in Brazil of Charles' choice. Class act even in defeat. The positive attitude in him really makes him stand out from everyone else in the division.
I don't see how anyone can hate on Dustin, he is as real and incredible as they get!
@@chueyvanderbilt2213 Conor fanboy can
@@Candycoatedlies147 True lmao.... fair play
I hope I run into him in Louisiana, my aunt lives same town he’s from, just a conversation about life, and goals and how to reach them, think his personality is one I can relate greatly too. You got a fan in me diamond, Charlie olives took what 30 fights in the ufc to get the belt, bisping like 28? He can do whatever he sets his mind too
he's already had two titleshots. the vast majority of fighters never achieve that.
This man is THE diamond! He's such a huge man, a huge person. Pls dont stop fighting. Remember this is entertainment, you are entertaining people the world over. My utmost respect for you!
Honestly I can’t imagine this being his last Title shot was a great fight just made some critical errors
It will be
It’s definitely it’s last title fight if he thinks it’s his last title fight. U can’t make it back unless u r confident that u can
he could have had a possible third crack at the title, IF he hadn't turned it down to fight conor for money instead. he chose money.
@@melancholymartialarts7095 Well, when you think about truly ridiculous title shots like Chael vs Jones and Henderson vs Bisbing, his next fight may be a title shot for all we know.
I like Dustin but if he can't stop Oliveiras grappling and top control imagine what Usman or Chimaev would do to him, even Colby or Gilberts... I don't even see him beating his pal Jorge, not smart maybe fight Conor at 170 or Nate get the bag then bounce
I disagree. Colby and Masvidal are competitive fights
@@terryl9996 but your coming from a deluded fan boy point of view with your other 3 amigos in your likes
@Ivey96 because nobody else beats him but Usman barely

@Ivey96 Dustin couldn’t compete with the best featherweights he’d get retired before he wants to at welterweight
Ultimate warrior & legend no matter what happens from here he’s definitely one of the best fighters of his era & will leave a great legacy behind
>> to show up after a loss .. will always be a Dustin fan ! / thanks man !
Dustin is the man. It doesnt matter that he “lost” bc he didn’t this man is winning in life with his beautiful family, health, doing so much for his community, making millions in his fights and inspiring so many. His career is written in stone. Congrats champ keep your head up
Great fighter and person. Just hate how people call him fake
At 12:00 you can see how Dustin feel when his daughter involved. What a cruel and beautiful sport.
ngapain disini bang, bikin video baru bang derrick lewis
I've become a bigger fan of this man after his losses, he's absolutely *CLASS* there aren't a lot of fighters who will show any dignity when they lose in the biggest moments of their careers, in the Khabib loss I did believe it was gonna be an uphill battle, but he showed heart and spirit, in this previous fight against Oliveira again, just class.. even when he beat Conor the second time gracious in victory, still gracious in defeat.. he's truly the man. Much respect to the 💎
Dude I just want to give Dustin a hug, I know he’s a strong ass man, but I respect him so much as a person. I hate seeing him down on him self but that’s life. It happens to every single one of us in one way or another. Praying for peace, health, and happiness to him and his family.
Not sure he can, but I’d love to see him humble Colby. He’s the one guy out there not named Conor McGregor that has trashed Dustin’s name. It would be pretty sweet if he could finish Colby
Its a bad matchup for Dustin as Colby would smother and drown him. The fight would sell though, and both men know that. A 4th fight with Conor could work, but I think a fight with Nate Diaz makes the most sense for Dustin.
Colby would beat Dustin, it's not even close.
@@madgavin7568 Conor doesn't deserve another fight with Dustin till he wins a match first.
@@Brain_With_Limbs I can somewhat agree with that. The question is who should he fight on his return? Nate? Tony? RDA?

Say what you want about Ariel, the guy has conversational mastery. That ending too - hats off.
Say what you want, but what should be said is exactly what you said
I’m Brazilian and a huge Charles fun, but listening to Dustin makes me feel sad. Respect for the courage of opening his heart.
Much love to you Dustin. I was hoping youd win that belt but i was cheering for both. You guys are amazing fighters with the most heart in the ufc in my eyes. The love you guys got. Keep that chin up buddy youre one of the best fighters to step in that octagon. Spend some time with the family and happy holidays. Same to you Ariel🤙💪
🇧🇷 🇧🇷
If street Judas is too scared to fight colby. I think there’s good money to be made between colby and Dustin at 170lb. It would also get Dustin a fast track to a title fight with Usman
colby killz him
Colby wrestles him to death
And if he did get by Colby which is doubtful, he then loses to usman lol. Poirier is great but once someone takes him down, it’s over.
No way he will stand a chances against colby
Three fighters I always pay PPV, Porrier, Charles and Glover Teixeira...the rest I watch but don't pay for it.
Heartbreaking! (Despite I’m super happy for Charles). And Ariel… great words as always!
Class act. Transparent. Refreshingly honest and human. And with an Easter egg Napoleon Dynamite Uncle Rico quote FTW.
He has a few good options at 170 and he wouldn’t be having to kill himself to make weight anymore. I’m sure Conor would prefer the cut less weight too when they fight again. Also guys like Nate and Colby are fun and exciting matchups we all want to watch.
Does he not want to win a title ?
@Ivey96 like your boy did the bum who’ll never be a champ couldn’t even beat Conor at featherweight or compete there haha
@Ivey96 Dustin Tap machine Porier
Someone needs to ask Dustin the CAGE questions. This man is going to the grocery store drunk now? Still a champ in my book! 💎💎💎
Good call about alcohol questions
Great stuff!!
man loves up to you Diamanté 💎 a true warrior and hearty fighter man this is hard to watch
How could anyone not love this guy. He's amazing. He will be the ufc champ, no doubt about it.
Not up a weight class lol
He’s never been champ never will hyped up bum
Good for Dustin. Take a few more interesting fights at 170, collect some money, then retire. His trilogy win over Conor will arguably keep him more historically well known than a fleeting championship run. Not everyone becomes champion.
Agreed. I was thinking a matchup vs Diaz at 170 and then a 4th fight with Mcgregor at 170 to settle the beef once and for all. Both those fights would be competitive and generate a lot of PPVs.
Dustin deserves a title more than anyone on the roster, this man’s determination and drive is such an inspiration, I hope he doesn’t give up his dream, third times the charm.
Dustin is a real cat.. Really hope he gets what he wants whether it be the title or whatever. A role model on many levels. Win or lose.
Ariel saying Nate Diaz "makes sense at this juncture" is ridiculous. Poirier should fight Chandler at this point or the winner of Islam/Beneil.
It’s because he said he might not fight at 155
I fell asleep after the first round and woke up to Charles winning couldn’t believe it
How the hell do you fall asleep. My heart beats out of my chest when big fights are on.
@@dr.loomis4221 fell asleep during Conor vs cowboy and Conor vs dustin II. Bro if I watch anything laying down in my bed at night I’m gone fall asleep
I watched every fight up to the main card walkouts starting passed out and woke up as Olives won….I predicted 3rd round sub so yea I was like Is this a dream? Wanted porier to win but Charlie olives ground game and position control on the ground is so damn fluent
How you fall asleep on the first round? The first round was the most exciting and action packed round!
When they on the stool in between rounds it’s wraps
Belt or no belt he most likely has the most solid resume is the history of the lightweight division, 2 wins over max Holloway one of the goats, another 2 wins over the very first simultaneous double champ, gaethje, pettis, Alvarez. Never lost twice in a row in the ufc, has fought in two weight classes possibly soon to be 3. Has done it all in this sport and I still believe he’ll capture a title, whatever chapter comes next I just hope he’s happy and proud of his achievements, deserves all the glory in the world 💎
Nice interview man
If they fought 100 times, I truly think Dustin would win 60 of them. The way he hurt Charles in the first, I think that he would put him away if they fought again.
Come on man give Charles some respect.
@@postnutregret I’ve given Charles respect, he’s got heart and his BJJ is next level. But let’s be honest, his chin is suspect and he can’t really hang with power punchers. It seems that everyone and their mom has hopped on the hype train, but I’m not sold. I really believe Gaethje will beat him, because I can’t see Charles taking him down, or being able to survive the stand up.
@@JSmooove98 im sure Charles will fight gaethje differently to how he fought Dustin. You don't want to be trading shots against a guy with more power and better chin. Either way this fight is prob ending quicker
@@JSmooove98 Dustin fought and beat Gaethje Charles beat Dustin. Boom
@@JSmooove98 how is his chin suspect he gets dropped and pops right back up it’s mostly from being out of position while striking
Dustin did it all. Except win the real belt. Other than that he beat Conor 2 times he beat Max Holloway 2 times , he beat Anthony Pettis , Eddie Alvarez , Justin gaethje , Dan hooker, Jim Miller and the list goes on and on. Even won an Interim belt. He deserves to go fight at 170 Against guys like Nate Diaz Maybe another massive Conor fight and if he feels good up there and he beats those two guys those are the biggest guys in the sport he can get a fight with Colby And if he somehow Wins that’s an easy tittle shot I don’t think he will beat those upper level guys at 170 but he can do what he wants
170 only Diaz ,155 is better ,he can get a chance again but .. Like he says..does he want ?
Ariel god bless you for being so supportive and respectful all the time
I love his candidness. I wish nothing but the best for him.
I would like to see him fight Nate Diaz at 170. That makes sense. Maybe he could beat Conor again. The Colby fight is also an option, but the top guys at 170 all beat Dustin.
Win will He be a champion ? 😀
Dustin beat Max Holloway, champion at the time, to be the Interim Champion. He’s always a world champion regardless of what people say.
Love max but he was undersized and lost his belt right after lol …. I’m sure Dustin doesn’t hold that interim belt to high
@@traphomebaby Well he should! He beat Max on a 12 fight win streak. Champ in my book.
Really cool how ariel gets personal and actually goes out of his way to be kind to somebody instead of carelessly prying hurtful info and topics from someones mind with ill regard to the person. Not to often u see people care about others these days. I have a great deal of respect for ariel now. That was a great interview and i hope one day dustin gets his championship man. I really do! Thats the kind of stuff u pay to see. He is good enough to win one i know it
Heartbroken for Dustin man. He seems like the most genuine and good guy. You can tell how much he wanted this.
If he goes to 170 he's gonna get crushed.
Nah, he's not going there to fight for the title. He's looking to fight guys like Nate and Conor again without having to cut as much weight.
Dustin is a thick dude outta camp, he could give alot of top 70'ers a run for the money
Dustbin porier..u lost me money 💰 man
Same lol
You lost your money
I'm a big Dustin fan, but 'Dustbin' got me rolling 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He didn’t tell you to gamble brother lol
Your fault for even betting on him ☠☠
Dustin truly wears his heart on his sleeve.Honest and genuine a rarity in sports and life
Interim champ is not UFC CHAMP! Stop calling people that win an “interim belts” champions, it’s disrespectful to the real champions
@Nsnsndns Bsbsndns congrats on ur success
Move up to 170 so Colby can whoop that ass worse than Khabib and Oliveira did.
His daughter unknowingly roasting Sean LOL Watch him be one of her favorite fighters now. That was wholesome. Poirier is definitely the daddest man in the sport, DC your title has been stripped.
