you fuck dustin before? was it before he got married?

[@rich.franklin4435]

@@JohnDoe-ly6bt bro I don't think it's "luck" . He persevered and found his moment. He was getting dogged until then, for sure. But at the end of the day someone got there hand raised . Again. He's beat a thousand legends bro give him his flowers

[@kernsy6715]

What fight was you watching? Ok he lost the ground game in the first round but dude didn’t do anything to him on the ground. Stand up both rounds Dustin was the clear winner in that!

Man that's a great feeling to hear the boss talk about you in this kind of light.....Dustin gotta feel great

[@ZOOTV-1976]

I was one of those people that thought Dustin couldn’t win this fight. In my heart I wanted him to win as it’s fighters like him that got me interested in UFC, just didn’t think he could do it. Dustin proved a lot of people wrong and kudos to him. I’ve given Dustin a lot of flack over the years and I won’t again. Congratulations to Dustin Poirier.

[@korlu01]

I’m so horrifically confused by what you and everyone mean. Why did you think he was not going to win? What told you that BSD was better than Dustin? Because not for one single second did I understand why he was given such a radical boost in competition after having only beaten a #14 rank and why then he was given a pretty significant betting advantage. What ended up happening was exactly what I thought would. Why then did you think otherwise? What indicated Dustin couldn’t beat BSD? Am I crazy? What am I missing here? Because my heavy guess is that you just assumed - like I think everyone did - that BSD is some elite fighter when, again, that theory has NEVER even been remotely close to being put to the test. Did everyone forget how fighting works? Because I can understand if he had laid waste to someone like Chandler right before but the difference in skill set between Matt Frevola and Dustin Poirier is akin to like a third-string QB and Joe Burrow. Night and day difference. Where this unprecedented amount of praise for BSD came from I suppose I’ll never know

[@ericpena615]

I agree 1000% most certainly a legend. And it's not a term I just throw around for any fighter, he indeed is that.

[@roberjohnsmith]

Its a business. So ya, stock is everything. Im a professional chef and if i open a restaurant with my name on it, and the food isnt good, it doesnt matter how hard i worked or how many good restaurants i had before this one. People will say, oh his food has gone downhill, i dont want to pay for his food when an up and coming chef is offering nee and exciting food for the same price. Reputation and stock for people who do business is everything. If all you do is clock in and clock out, maybe thats a concept youve never been able to grasp, maybe youll get there one day.​@creeplife2802

[@michaelgaryscott7886]

Dustin is going to take the belt from Islam. It's his time. This is it. Absolute legend.

You guys are something I swear. When Islam beats him, the same type of people who are saying Dustin will beat him will say "ohhh that was expected, easy fight for Islam, not a real title defense and blah blah"

[@camilletraore]

Go BSD!

[@drm3259]

"We don't determine whether you lose or whether you win, you do." There's literal email proof of top UFC personnel being instructed to lowball fighters and, if they refuse, set them up in prelims with a scary up and comer while they're on their way out. That being said, he's right about Poirier and this was a great fight to put on.

[@doyourownresearch7297]

and that is what they should do. They negotiate for the UFC. The fighter's manager negotiates for the fighter.

[@drm3259]

@@doyourownresearch7297 Man, for somebody called "do your own research" you really have your head buried in the sand. I never said it wasn't UFC's job to negotiate for the UFC, I said it's a lie that they don't determine wins or losses. The fighter always has a chance but they have the power to punish fighters for now accepting lowball offers and possibly ruin their career by putting them against the wrong person at the wrong time.

king balwdin moment on dana

[@user-zz6tb7vy9w]

I said weeks before the fight in a video that BSD would have close to 0 chance of winning and the comment below was the OP saying that I was stupid... went to the video today and the video was taken down ROFL... MMA fans think these guys beat 2 or 3 cans and all of a sudden they think the dudes unbeatable... these old school lightweights are still on top for a reason

Good thing he told us if he has another title shot or what

[@chrisryan8894]

Doesn’t come out and actually say he’ll get a title shot though

[@solemgameinsights]

"He becomes a legend!" ... here's $3.50 kid. Dana was this extatic about Couture when he took the heavyweight belt at 43. Then when Randy wanted to get paid what he deserved, Dana began calling him names.

[@saul96youngdrip51]

dana white if you dont know his name u live under rock

[@hhhhhh-br3ef]

If Dustin lose. Dana will say it’s time for him to retire

[@redeyez444]

That is not a joke either you know that's what he would said

[@robgrant7683]

That’s a stupid comment. If Dustin fought a great fight and lost a close split decision Dana wouldn't say that. If Dustin came in fat and out of shape then yeah it would be fair to say it might be time to retire. Obviously Dana’s a businessman who’s job it is to make money for the UFC and he needs stars to do that. Dustin is a star as long as he fights hard, win or lose.

[@Porona]

Dustin himself said if he lost he was most likely retiring

I think gamrot vs bsd should be next.. or he can take the loser of arman/oliveira

[@vilya3577]

Think BSD could only fight at first a top 15 like dos anjos or hooker. If he wins, let's try a top 10 top 8

[@XarkoCZ]

He's not getting Gamrot after a loss, bro.

[@protough8245]

I dont agree with the one fight winning streak title shot. Justin gaethje really shouldnt have took that fight with max & waited for a title shot. I seen somewhere islam saying something about dustin is next because its the only person who would be willing to fight him (dont know exactly how true that is) from that stand point it makes sense but idk still doesnt feel like the right thing to do. Ive always been a dustin fan (how could you not) but after another title fight he will lose and then retire which is why you make the right fights have your fighters build up for it then make the fight. That is a big reason why chandler hasnt got anywhere because he was given a title fight after one win. Regardless if dustin beats islam or not im pretty sure he is going to retire anyways he better make the most of it is all i have to say. It never goes in the fighters favor when handed a title shot.

[@nathansackett6890]

Dustin just reminded you dolts who he is. I couldnt believe that betting line....on denis' first 5 rounder too. Thats was free money

[@Jeeksters]

Love Dustin but no way he jumps the line over Charles and Justin for the belt, given they both win their fights

[@corentinimbert4173]

Exactly !! as well Gaethje is a lengend for ffighting FISIEV and rember fukin GILBERT BURNS for take Chimaev fight !!! HAPPY af that DUSTIN won and didn't retire and has another title shot !! AND I am French and huge fan of St Denis but he's only 28, tough and talented AF so no worries he will recover and murder these lightweights once again !! Poirier lets GOOOOOO for the Belt !!

[@tangomantactical]

Grand Prix light weight match. How is Dana missing the sea of $$$ ? Dana is a business man. One Championship has figured this out. Eight of the top LW division. Dustin and Justin, seem as if either of these two will never win an outright Championship belt.

[@TVNando]

Sooooo does he get a shot? Lol didn’t even answer it

[@joshmoccio9226]

Exactly! No one is addressing the fact that he didn't answer the question lol

[@Civ33]

considering he didn't answer the question, I think you can read between the lines. The answer is probably no, unless Dana goes along with Islam's request to fight Poirier

[@hamiltonshamley5785]

Doesnt answer if he gets a title fight

[@MonkeyKing777]

1:27 why is he blinking so fast lol

[@gamemusicmeltingpot2192]

It felt like Dustin went into the fight expecting to get KO'd or submitted or decision'd but then found out that Benoit was a level below him in striking.

[@lachlanm7149]

Yeah, felt like his mindset was "f it, I'll give him a rum for his money"
