Been a PR pro for two decades and can confirm Ariel to be a journalist, and actually a near extinct specimen at that.

Ariel is the closest thing we have to a Howard Cosell in this sport. He isn’t owned by anyone or any organization. He’s wholeheartedly dedicated to the sport, its fighters, and the truth.

bum can't get gold

[@thejunky17]

Dustin is like a real life Rocky. He's not perfect, he had some tough losses but man, he always comes back even better.

[@bobbybrown5217]

Good interview right there Ariel thank you, still the best... greetings from Quebec✌️

[@rj6812]

So much respect for Dustin. He's a badass. No doubt about it.

[@michaeltrimble7680]

“Outuncomfortable these guys”. Dude. What a diamond of a man.

[@xboxgamer300]

Dustin never ceases to surprise me, Dude is a savage.

[@samgibson684]

Most definitely.... Most underappreciated fighter for sure

[@95goa]

@@samgibson684 How is he underappreciated? Everyone loves the guy, always brings it, in the UFC for a decade now and in the top of the division the entire time... if you want really underappreciated its probably Stipe Miocic

[@BucFanz63]

That fight could be a Main Event on most cards. What a Fight!

[@alcottdevalte7440]

I want to see Dustin as a villain instead of a nice guy, which would suit well because of his fighting style, but not happening, unfortunately... Anyway, gotta appreciate all the exciting fireworks of fights throughout the years.

[@REDANDSILVER741]

Imagine if he turned heel. I could see him being real nasty if he fought Colby. He really doesn’t like him.

@@REDANDSILVER741 heel lol you know this real fighting a sport.not wrestling. If you want acting go watch wwe smh

[@MP-rb8iw]

Well wasn't he the one that started the beef between him and Chandler

[@alcottdevalte7440]

@@REDANDSILVER741 The moments Dustin has beaten someone and then made some statements are his best moments behind the scenes and on the mic, even when building up fights like this one against Chandler. Weird how he trains with Masvidal and has 10X times the resume and yet Masvidal acts like the badass one, which Dustin is more of...

[@Sx-xy2zi]

I like him as a good guy

[@TheGrumpyKeen]

Dustin is such a great fighter and a great guy. His progression throughout his career has really been awesome thing to watch.

[@subgrappling805]

Dustin’s thoughtfulness and clear headed perspective makes him a very dangerous fighter. He keeps his cool in the face of some serious fire and I’ll always respect that about him. Better than what he brings to the Octagon though, he’s a genuinely good dude…everyone ought to respect that.

[@trevweston]

His daughter probably had an overwhelming feeling that lead her to say that her dad was gonna lose, intuition is a real thing in kids

[@Eagles.Fan.Since.Super.Bowl.52]

💎 is the best in the UFC right now. Awesome human being.

[@waasm1th543]

I met Dustin in Houston this year. Great dude with the public.

[@GgCashh451]

Dan Hooker Justin Gaethje McGregor Oliveira Eddie Alvarez Michael Chandler have all cheated against Dustin… it’s about time he played dirty back

[@chris-mc4dg]

What did they all do that was cheating each guy I know mgregor grabbed the glove and chandler fish hooked what did the rest of them do?

[@shutda0fuckup]

@@chris-mc4dg Gaethje eyepoked him multiple times and got a point deduction. Eddie alvarez illegally kneed dustin in the face in their first fight which made it a no contest, and he threw 12-6 elbows in the second fight after which the ref made them stand up. Oliveira had a confirmed glove grab at the beginning of round 2 which caused poirier to be on bottom for an entire round. Hooker hit him with 3 kicks to the groin and some rabbit punches but nothing crazy.

[@chris-mc4dg]

@@shutda0fuckup oh yeah I remember the alvarez one now thanks.

[@J1283-s1k]

He already did. He eye-poked Gaethje back, he toe-grabbed and locked into the cage with Conor. Most of the fighters have the odd moment where they fight dirty, intentionally or otherwise.

[@faizanyt]

I think the legacy that Dustin Poirier has created is already much bigger than lot of champions. Even if he doesn't become Champion, UFC should give him the Hall of Fame. I mean look at the freaking list of W man... Connor, Gaethje, Holloway, Eddie Alvarez, Pettis, Jim Miller, Johnson, Dan Hooker. Some would say this is the best CV in LW division.

[@guybenmicha2902]

True statement! He fought murderer row .. No one in UFC history had this kind of run.

[@faizanyt]

@@guybenmicha2902 ya, i think he already is the best UFC fighter who hasn't become an undisputed champion. In some different era he could've easily been a champion. He's much better fighter than some of the previous LW champions like Eddie Alvarez, RDA, Benson Henderson, Anthony Pettis and I'd say better than Connor.

[@zachh6214]

Reason I’m an mma fan is because I saw Dustin’s fights. I had been thinking about ditching mma training for a bit then I saw his second fight with Connor and became a super fan. Truly an amazing man and fighter

[@SonOftheBattleCry]

Been watching him since he submitted max Holloway

[@Voo504Doo]

Just to let u know I been around him IRL and even in person he is the coolest chillest dude ever no one at te comedy show knew who he was except me and I didn’t approach him let him chill and watch Theo vons set

[@zachh6214]

@@Voo504Doo that so cool. Great to hear to. I really can just relate with a lot of the guys energy.

[@cambo6911]

Dustin's definitely currently one of my favorite fighters, I'd like to see a little more diversity in his striking though like a few more kicks and setting up head kicks but I always love to see the Diamond fight and I hate to see him lose, good thing there's only a couple people on the planet in his division that can beat him. May God bless Dustin and his family always

[@derek_jesio]

Love them both, but I really do not believe Chandler meant to do the fishhook. The blood? Yes. Likely intentional (even though Chandler admitted he was blowing his nose so he could breathe). The fishhook? No. Chandler’s explanation made way more sense than Poirer’s.

[@Sam-ng3of]

Chandler cheated like crazy

[@tjlg7335]

I like this dynamic between Porier and Chandler. They dot like each other but are honest and respectful to a degree.

[@theguvnor3880]

On embedded, Dustin told Frankie that he was a true legend of the sport. The compliment works both ways.

[@justbleedprod.9414]

“I don’t wanna get even, I wanna get ahead” Add it to the many great quotes Dustin has
