Dustin Poirier: Justin Gaethje Taking Wrong Approach to 'BMF' Title Rematch | UFC 291

[@anythiNGCSS]

6:44 "He's kinda got that aura about him now with the chaos, the most violent and all that, but I really am that and he knows that. So....let's go there." Saturday is gonna be wild.

[@kobeyballer]

I love how honest he is in his assessments. Just straight up saying what he thinks his opponent should do to beat him

[@adequatequality]

Dustin arguably has the best resume from any non-champion (excluding interim title)

[@charsmith8646]

He does easily

[@michaelspoto8720]

This is a fight where I will be bummed that either guy loses. Love both guys but this is gonna be a banger

[@Aspinalldoesntdesrveatitleshot]

Facts

[@justinsmith5843]

Eye of the Tiger. Hes got that eye glow. You could see when he changed. He honed in

[@benellis2685]

He speaks so well. Dustin is a stud & a fucking warrior! Can't wait for this rematch

[@Ian-km7ks]

I like how honest dustin is 👍

[@getzvalerevich6565]

In all my years of listening to people, I think Dustin is one of the most greatest guys in the world. If the world was full of people like him.. full respect

[@mattverville9227]

the guy beats the living shit out of people for a living. i understand that he seems like a good guy but you never know. you only hear a few minutes in front of a camera. When you date someone it takes 6 months of being around someone to get to know how they truly are, you sure can get nothing from a few minutes here and there. If anything he seems to want to come off as the nice guy. He might be he may not be but if the world was full of violent fighters I dont think its an improvement

[@dinbachok6424]

When reporter ask about someone he respond with his mother and his wife. We know that is a real man right there.

[@dustinpakatak]

It’s sad to think about, but feel like this fight will be the beginning of steep decline for both regardless of who wins

[@swizzler8053]

CTE belt.

[@ofon2000]

I was thinking the same...I'm expecting both fighters to take a ton of damage also

[@MeinhardSRohr]

They are already declining. Hence the BMF title fight. Both never will be champion but earned the UFC’s respect and are fan favorites so they want one of them to hold a belt. Anyway I believe they both were never be great. Good but not good enough.

[@desslattery3457]

Dustin is at the top of his game, your talking garbage

[@korbindallas8224]

Ok, Nostradamus

[@StickyShoes34]

Love Poirier! One of my favorite all time fighters. I want to also compliment these questions, they were actually thoughtful and things that us fans want to hear some answers to. Which isn't always the case.

[@charsmith8646]

The question about rematch preparations in comparison to other fights was a great question

[@toughAsCrocodile]

Dustin he's my favorite. I would love to read about his training and his life.

[@justinsmith5843]

This guy is a laser beam.

[@BremboT]

He seems like a cool guy to chop it up with. Also love that hes a family man. Both him and his wife lucked out finding each other so earlier on in life. Beautiful wife and hes definitely alpha stud.

[@alishanaa9943]

Man how can you not love Dustin. I love both the -ustins so much, I can’t decide on who to root for, but this interview maybe locked it in for me. This man is a true diamond. Lets go, paid in full

[@matthewyarborough8328]

I’m 100% for Gaethje. Respect Dustin but not a fan of him as a person

[@alishanaa9943]

@@matthewyarborough8328 Genuinely curious, what do you not like about him as a person?

[@matthewyarborough8328]

@@alishanaa9943 I could go a million places but for starters trying to fight a pedestrian at a Mardi Gras parade, complaining about chandler sneezing on him, complaining after the Conor fight NOT all the shit Conor said ab his wife that Conor said he was gonna kill him he damn near cried lol. He’s a legend in the game I just do not like the guy. He doesn’t know who he wants to be. One minute he says he hates shit talk then he just talks nothing but shit. Said he’d rather sell hot sauce than fight chandler and didn’t seem to understand why chandler took that as shit talk. He’s just not my cup of tea that’s all

[@SDcharge2k12]

love both these guys but Justin is winning this fight I have no doubt about it. People need to watch that first fight between them and then watch every fight Gaethje has fought since Ferguson and you'll see he's grown from just being a beserking brawler to a much more technical fighter whose not nearly as wreckless as he was in their first matchup which was extremely close but that growth will be the difference and going to give him the edge imo. can't wait for tomorrow, let's go Gaethje!

[@SDcharge2k12]

Check please! Went down exactly as I predicted, that was amazing but I feel bad for Dustin that was a brutal KO but he's a beast and will recover and come back. You know this means there is going to be a 3rd fight now because you can't leave them at 1 a piece!

[@qbob5]

Man i love this guy

[@jasonred3874]

Imagine if we were in dbz, a fusion between Dustin and Justin would give us The ultimate striker 😳

[@geese-xd1ep]

Dustin Gaetje would be fusion Justin Poirier would be Potara rings 😅😂

[@langtryvlogme]

the ultimate SAVAGE

[@mattverville9227]

not even close to the ultimate striker….it would be an entertaining fighter but not ultimate striker. I would take a fusion of Israel and maybe wonder boy for the ultimate striker

[@langtryvlogme]

@@mattverville9227 daddy chill

[@mattverville9227]

I met dustin at a sports bar in las vegas a few years ago. It was the card between dj vs cejudo and dillashaw vs cody 2. We sat there and drank for the whole card and he was cool. I didnt geek out and ask him for selfie or autograph so i was trying to play it cool but i was nervous. He was talking about fighting khabib a lot. The funny thing was that nobody else in the bar even recognized him.

[@kingmartinifilms]

Poirier and Gathje are two guys I love, I just wish one of them will be champion. Poirier especially..

[@akshaymahapatra1818]

Both are ready and geared up, and both are scared of each other as well

[@vishiminocha6908]

Although I’d love to hear Annik scream it again - ‘Poirier continues to land’ but I hope Diamond submits Justin and the damage is minimum to both the guys.

[@KevinsGambit]

Dustin is the man!!!

The fall from grace seems evident for both Dustin and Justin both too good for each others health

[@marcusmustard8285]

the reporters should focus on promoting this fight. what the hell is going on. Every one of these pressers there is a million hypotheticals..."if you get a finish"..."if you are ranked"...blah blah blah. "if so and so wins, if so and so loses" Who gives a shit! Every time the fighters say "i am focused on this" As a fan...I am focused on saturday night too! I dont give a shit about what is after saturday night either. Quit asking a million questions that are promoting imaginary fights in 2024. Focus on promoting this fight!

[@jay-mk4yt]

if Justin thinks he can beat Dustin at a technical battle sorry but DP is right, Justin needs to bring the chaos and hope he breaks DP lol easier said than done

[@luismanuelg.b9470]

Between Gaethe and Poirer, l have no favourite 'cause both are lovable dudes.

[@SDcharge2k12]

[@guyver8081]

Seems you 110% have some conferences to rewatch…..

[@khunter8757]

Shit.....imagine being at the end of your career and being able to get through some dogfights without taking any serious damage/injuries and now you're running into Justin. Yes he beat him before but Justin has improved tremendously. Sometimes I think these fighters push their luck too far. As a fan I ain't complaining but as a human being I definitely get nervous for them.
