What a story if Gaethje pulls is off, gets the strap and these guys run a trilogy. Both guys have improved so much, both guys tonight were warriors. Respect.

[@Mrimperialbeast]

This is about to be the start of Dustin’s downfall

[@nonyobussiness3440]

Multiple fighters were never the same after getting beat by Justin. Two Tony and Vick, were shells and never the same again. That being said Dustin is old, he got ko’d and out classes by Justin. Odds are he can’t beat Charles or the champ or Connor. It’s over

[@TheEwokExplorer]

sad to see Dustin go out like that but it can happen to any great fighter at this level and he is truly great. He got caught with a perfectly timed kick that would have knocked anyone out. Hope he is ok and makes a full recovery. Hats off to Justin Gaethje on an awesome win over a future hall of famer

[@Aerational]

It wasn't as brutal as it coulda been. He went limp but never fully out. He blocked a lot of the impact but the foot wrapped around and hit him on the back of the head. Probably didn't need the last punch but Herb got there fairly quick.

Did say the loser of this fight would retire, geathje needed it more poirier already had win over him and more rich than 99% of the rooster probably second richest next to Conor so doesn't need it as much He was coming in with a if I win get a title shot if not oh well, where as gaethje really needed this and losing this fight would ruin his retirement and possibly his life so he wasn't trying to lose and knew he was going to flatline Dustin for sure just shocking to see it the way it happened

[@googleuser1079]

He needs to fight either the winner of Fiziev & Gamrot or Beniel & Arman, he can’t sit on his ranking and expect a title shot after coming off a loss.

What about this interview lead to you believe that he’s just gonna sit on it? He said he doesn’t know what he wants to do and doesn’t wanna fight up and comers. I think he knows his title aspirations are over now.

[@maunaawakea7391]

Man… this guy takes the cake in regards to how to act like a man, win, lose, or draw. It looks like he only envisioned a W in this bout, never considered losing for one sec. Imo that’s the winning, and only mentality to have going into a scrap like so… but he said, “I got nervous for this matchup, I knew I had to train my ass off, wake up ev morning knowing I’d get KO’d. Went above and beyond to prepare for this belt in my house. I won in LIFE, etc etc etc…”. Listen, Justin is STRONG, has the one strike power to KO any human on earth. 💎, bro, you gotta realize that Justin just had a better night than you did tonight. Both have matured, caught you with that faint, then he saw your guard not even up, so he took the shot. You didn’t have your guard up, and against a solid warrior like him, couldn’t make those mistakes. Props and respect for speaking truth. Bro, you ended Conor’s career, KO’d Justin first time around, put down some beasts of the division, still learning n getting better. Spend time with your fam, relax n enjoy some vaca, take your mind off it all n just chillax ur mind. Then, I only believe this will make you stronger, smarter, wiser, better, and hungrier next time around. Dust it off, like you said, it’s a scrap, could go any which way. 1-1, hold your head up, then time to get back to work. (Wish you would’ve finished him in that first round when his legs got wobbly. When you look at the tape, you’ll see. You can’t pace yourself vs someone who can end it with one strike. Jus two cents.) God Bless! 🙏🏽👊🏽🙌🏽✊🏽🤙🏽

If Dustin doesn't want to actually grow and fight contenders, then he should retire. This game is savage and sitting out, rarely taking fights because you think you're above growing through activity, is beyond dangerous. If Dustin doesn't really want to be in the game proper, then he should step out. He'll be fine without mma, I think he is set for life off of name alone
