Man it was like watching a Rocky movie. Keep your head up Dustin.

[@LookoutLance]

Cut , and walk man. Enjoy what's left of your life without the face punching....enjoy the fruits of your labour, enjoy your beautiful family.

[@majapashit666]

Islam broke the paulo costa curse

[@hasanshakil1178]

That was all just bullshit anyways

[@sayville_silver]

Paulo has to fight for the curse to be active

[@hasanshakil1178]

@@sayville_silver shut up mate ,ur embarrassing yourself now

[@cattalkbmx]

I think it's a great place to call it. Going out in a title fight, against a champ who'll likely set the new record for title defenses. And he gave a solid performance too. I just don't see the point in risking health or record in another fight. Thanks for all your great fights Dustin, you're a legend and a future HOFer.

[@prescottosegie]

Dustin I been a fan and a supporter of you since the fightville documentary. you are one of my inspirations thank you for everything that you do. you are a hall of famer and to me you are a champion 🏆💎

[@IOSARBX]

MMA Junkie, This is amazing! I subscribed right away!

[@activeunsub]

Poirier is a HOF & legend of the sport bc of his impressive resumè, action packed fights against the best of the best & his actions outside of the cage. If this was it, he'll be missed, but fingers crossed he fights again, even if it's once a year & only big fights for the next couple of years.

[@Kevinopilous]

Proud of Dustin, everybody in my household was cheering, my mom who's watched a hanful of fights said Islam would be a better champ cause Dustin brought a hella of a fight 🔥🔥 "Thank you, Dustin."

[@ViceOnlineLive]

Dustin is a solid athlete man . Its phenomenal to see how his life has turned out. I followed him since McGregor and him faught the first time in like '09 . Dustin is a humble professional now. Dudes a G

[@beckybintu4492]

Very realistic human and humble human❤ question well answered and truthful

[@JohnBobbitt-qm6iv]

No matter what he decides, DP is still my favorite fighter. A willingness to face anyone, always a legit shot at a win, always humble in success and graceful in defeat, and never got pulled out his square by the bullshit.

[@vatan.8685]

Respect. Poirier

[@tiernangorduin7975]

You are a legend , regardless

[@xliteb8789]

Legend!! Uncrowned king of MMA and UFC

[@AR-15-685]

I am more than happy Makhachev won. My man Dustin should retire already and just spend his life with his family. Enough is enough brother.

[@IsenathiDyantyi]

My number 10 UFC best fighter in the World 🗺......I called it Islam by a sub but I was realy suprised Man rightnow You just tell Poirier can beat anyone in any given day 💎

[@theironforce3000]

He showed incredible heart in the match.. I'm just glad it went the distance and didn't end in the first round. Anyone else would have been submitted. The 💎 is built different. -But In the final end it still wasn't enough 😮‍💨

[@KilroyNBC]

take a vacation then come back stronger poirer. you are one of my fav fighter in UFC

[@peterlargent8916]

I went with Dustin but its cool he is still a bad ass dude. I believe he should call it quits Pete knows

[@THEDOPEYDAISY]

He can’t retire after that performance he will beat the shxt out of the lightweight roster.

[@mjn92]

Volk and Poirier made Islam look beatable and human… Islam got a lot to prove to be considered one of the greats at Lightweight.

[@bahriusicx7710]

Khabib and Dustin have a good relationship 💪🏻
