Dustin Poirier: Justin Gaethje Loss Led to ‘Darkness’ Before UFC 299 Rebound | The MMA Hour

[@Its_smackdowntay]

We’re just fans but this is real life for these guys. DP and Volk both sharing the same feelings. Props to Dustin.

[@gabrielsilvas692]

But Dustin got in done! Volk really down bad rn in his mental for sure hope he bounces back

[@ImranKhan-gs2hy]

Volk should've done what Dustin did after his own headkick KO; taken proper freakin rest! 😳

[@ryanb8736]

Volk got knocked out hard by Islam. Volk knows he got cocky. He knows his fans gave Islam a hard time about the first fight, so Islam told Volks fans he will finish him in round one by knockout to silence them. He did just that. That mentality hurts Volk knowing that the fans made Islam do it. Volk laughed and said it’s never gonna happen. Then it did. So that whole drama will stay in his head. Glad Islam has reached out to him a few times and talked to Volk. Volk seemed better after his loss to Topuria. Mentally he took it better. He bounced back fast on that one. I wish he never took the Islam fight. He should have focused on 145 and Topuria. He knew that was his big fight. This is why Dana is now holding back on guys jumping weight classes for the belt.

[@ryanb8736]

I’m very impressed with how Dustin bounced back up after being knocked out by Justin. Didn’t seem to affect him. He’s extremely lucky. Most fighters at 35 are never the same. What I would do to be 35 again. 😂

[@tacticalmattress]

​@ryanb8736 well it also helps that dustin didn't get smoked as badly. He was still conscious and got up quick. He partially guarded it as well, had he not, probably would've been really bad.

[@zachh6214]

I think it’s Dustin’s honesty in and outside of the cage that’s earned him the respect of so many people and why his fan base is so large. Love the fights and the example he sets outside the cage

[@BDZ69]

Just when you thought you couldn’t respect this man anymore serious props for opening up about your hardships after a loss.

Yeah I agree. I noticed as well. I also noticed he was taking it all an making it all count because he was thinking this could be my last face to face, this could be my last weigh in etc. That last face off they did I knew it 100% he was trying to make it a good one and take it all in! I had a good feeling he may retire after if he lost an now that he won I think we will see him again. But the next time might be the last!

This is one of the best, emotionally stirring interviews I have ever watched! Dustin the Diamond Poirier is a real-life hero. I’m proud to say that he has always been one of my all-time favourite MMA fighters. He has matured beyond his years and is the perfect role model for any up and coming MMA fighter. Through the years, I’ve put up numerous posts showing my appreciation and support for him and never once have I ever doubted his skills. He is truly special - a warrior who brings it every time he steps into the octagon. I am not a fortune-teller, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he finally achieves his life-long dream of becoming the undisputed champion of the UFC lightweight division. I know of no other fighter who deserves it more than he does. Can you imagine what it would be like if he became champ using the elusive guillotine? I’d most probably be dancing in celebration for more than a week! I can even visualize producers scrambling to make a movie on his life! Seriously, I hope and pray that God will soon grant his wish to finally achieve his ultimate dream inside the octagon.

Man that end bit on therapy and opening up: "lifes deep man and fighting is something i do" got me crying here. So powerful to hear a certified tough guy share this deeply. Dustin is a great mentor to boys and men. For me it was acting. Acting was my life. If i did well i felt amazing if I was out of work or didnt get the applause i was in deep shame and darkness. The reliance on one thing to provide me with self worth was not healthy. And yet the darkness also led me to the light, the gratitude and new perspective i sense Dustin now has. Love to you brother!

I'm a BSD fan but Dustin you're a wise man with a golden heart, a truly great guy. And your boxing is stellar, good lesson you gave to Benoît for the future. This KO will make him more dangerous, he will finally listen to his coach and work on his boxing defense. For the lack of power in his strikes and kicks, I think that he was low energy from the start. Now he needs an 8 months break to recover and progress. 4 fights in a year he did.
