Dustin Poirier reflects on Khabib fight, avoids talking Colby Covington | Ariel Helwani's MMA Show

Dustin Poirier returns to Ariel Helwani's MMA Show to look back at this loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 242 and what he would do differently. He says he has some regrets just as any fighter would over a loss but is very grateful to Khabib for giving him a fight and for also donating $100,000 to his foundation."The Diamond" prefers to not speak poorly about American Top Team teammate Colby Covington, but adds he “has something for him” if they see each other there at the gym.

Yes u can show it sometimes to inspire other peoples to do as good as u did, but it'll be better if you keep it secret to avoid arrogance and feel better than others, because it's Haram (prohibited/sinned) in Islam and if u did it, there will be no reward from God even if u spend all of your money for something good.

11:00 Dustin- "Why didn't I go full guard?". This is the second time I've heard Dustin say this since the fight. He didn't go full guard because Khabib didn't let him. Dustin tried bringing the leg around, but Khabib stopped him from doing it. If you watch the fight you can see Khabib has his hand on Dustin's knee and was intentionally blocking that leg so Dustin couldn't bring it around. So it's not that Dustin just didn't attempt it. It's that Khabib shut it down.

Khabib has an underrated fight IQ. Or at least grappling IQ. They think he manhandles them with strenght. It's obviously not like that. Everyone would gass out by flexing like that non stop.

[@hawk4813]

Zero people think he’s just a brute that manhandles people. Every broadcast they go over it. He’s a master of weight distribution on the feet when in the clinch to get trips and wearing people out. And obviously he’s the same on the ground, tying up the legs and knowing how to press people.

[@Seegie16]

With regard to the guillotine. Perhaps Dustin couldnt go full guard because Khabibs weight distribution wouldnt alow it

[@alanbolton7803]

Khabib had his left hand on Dustin's right leg. He didn't allow Dustin to go full guard. Perhaps Dustin didn't rewatch the fight.

[@AsylumOfSolitude]

Dustin mentioned that he made a mistake with that. He said he had one leg around Khabib, and one leg almost in a butterfly position. And that was the mistake, Khabib passed in that direction. Dustin had the guillotine if he put both legs around Khabib

[@fatbinmuadh8330]

Even if he got khabib full guard it wouldn't work either cause khabib is trained for such situation like what happened in his michael johnson fyt, he got fully guarded by michaels legs check it out

[@GrowingDownUnder]

Always go rubber guard and with wrestling you have to work your way through guard passes before he can get the mount there is plenty of opportunities to get rubber guard. That's why tony will beat khabib he's trained by eddie bravo the master and expert of rubber guard

[@jillianslowaterbanks7234]

Out of what the top 100 MMA fighters of all-time? "One of The Best Ever" he ain't breaking a top 50s list if you know your fighters. He is a top 5 Lightweight at this moment that is all he ain't no Great. Khabib is a Great, Conor made his mark as a Legend & a Guy like Cowboy has a Legacy worth noting. Fighters like Poirier & Alverez are Good Tough Fighters that could make the HOF for having a WAR but they are not deserving of Best Ever IMO.

People can say what they want about Interims. Dude beat a current Champ to get it and has a belt that says “World Champion” on it. He’s a real champ for life

[@karljonson3287]

He for sure beat good guys.

[@ImKraX]

You can see the argument but ultimately no man. Dude never beat the champ. Belt shouldn't even exist. He had a chance to beat the best in the world. Couldn't do it and got mauled. Respect to DP but interims are not ever a chance.

[@ItalianLaxer425]

My logic when I say this is look at the term “interim” it means “in the meantime” so, until Khabib’s suspension ended, I think Dustin was the Champion of the world. A lot of people won’t agree but logistically speaking I think it’s a fair argument

[@FREEDOMFORUKRAINE2024]

The interim belt is nothing more than a ticket to fight the champ.

Dustin is highly respected the way he handled himself after his heroic display against Khabib. And it was pretty evident the way muslims in Abu Dhabi gave him a standing ovation and he went back home after incredible hospitality by my brothers in same faith. Peace!
