Yeah I agree Some people were so negative about him after this ko, but I think he still showed some great things on the first round, he really made Dustin have to fight for his life and it will be exciting to see him become better Both were happy to fight and get challenged, respectful and true warrior spirit, gotta go love it

Giving up would have really bad implications for Benoit as well in giving up on the company, he is a very professional fighter on top of being a great human being, there was no way he would let anyone down at this point.

Pas le même type de perso en vrai. Sean est le cliché de "l'Americain" je suis pas sur que BSD apprécierait forcément sa companie

[@jeanpierrejeanlejean]

@@hrmouchshotrage63 jpense qu’il préfèrerais la compagnie de ce Sean la plutôt que de l’autre Sean 🤡

i can't stand idiots who talk trash, huge fan of warriors who keep it real! this french guy is great and he will make it very far.

[@Yirannor]

People who trashtalk him have never set foot on a ring or octagon, it's always the same braindead people

[@allconsciousnesss]

@@Yirannori was talking about the idiots who in their monkey brain bought into the idea that trash talk sells fights, the losers in the game like the mcgregors, covingtons etc.

[@evangrt_9528]

@@Yirannor Always a humble experience to put on gloves for the first time yeah

[@MrStrunto]

Magnificent gentleman, an example for many French people, thank you Benoît!

[@LakeishaJoseph]

Thanks for keeping it real, your authenticity is refreshing

[@mitchtas5138]

He is a solid human! Watching this after the fight makes me feel bad for him, but I Dustin is a good human too So hopefully Benoit learns from this loss and comes back even harder.

[@NJJ96]

Love bsd, hopefully he learns from the loss and fixes his striking defence

[@barkburton1]

This dude is a savage. What a war with Dustin! Funky co ma Nina great interview as always!

[@jacquescheminade9672]

Futur champ, he has dominated Poirier with two staphs and with a body full or antibiotics. Last time Poirier had it, he couldn't even stand.

[@jacquescheminade9672]

(Yet he has made unforgiving strategic mistakes. But stop bashing him. He'll kill everybody.)

[@baptistebrigand5882]

tg arête de dire de la merde

[@MaraudersWorld]

Love your interviews Nina. Great questions! Always enjoyable!

[@seblingtonw]

As a French fan, our hopes on this man are high ! Everlasting respect to Dustin Poirier not only for his accomplishments but even more for taking this fight and giving our boy the greatest opportunity in his career, legend of the sport ! BSD will be back stronger no doubt

[@Francetyjames]

A future legend! He will come back strong 100%!

[@tacticalmattress]

Maybe my bread addiction comes from my French Canadian roots lol

[@tacticalmattress]

Yo wtf I also prefer to drink my water at room temp, never ice. Unless I've been working outside and am overheated.

[@rickross5949]

Much respect to this man 🫡 He will be champ in a few years 💯

[@benjiownman6821]

great interview!💪 legit fighter and person ! i think he's able to make a lot of progress with this mindset. This loss against Dustin gave him a good lesson for his path of growth. btw. Nina looks impressed 😁

[@oyloy9836]

BSD is a good ambassador of traditional french spirit. This spirit comes from christianity (catholicism) and "chevalerie" (knight) and can be summarize by the sacrifice of your own life to protect the people. The purpose of true christians and a true knights is to sacrifice themselves for the "widow and orphan". May Jesus Christ bless you Nina, America, France, and the whole world.

[@mindfulstoic3095]

French youth need to drop all the clowns they are following on social medias (Booba, Kaaris, and all those idiot rappers) and start getting inspired by someone like Benoit. Finally a frenchman showing his love for his country and his traditions, things need to change, i hope Benoit is a catalyser for change.

[@Yirannor]

​​@@mindfulstoic3095a good part of french youth is actually brainrotted, hence why he had so many haters after his loss, but the other half that supports him is loyal and is inspired by him

[@baptistebrigand5882]

[@JaredTheCapo]

I really like this guy. hope he goes on another winning streak !

[@adryssc3913]

A beast! Great respect for Dustin, an undeniable legend. That said, Benoit will be taking over the category very soon, mark my words. Bien joué l'interview Nina.

[@trust9138]

I was waiting for this one!!!

[@chillout914]

People saying that he is very serious , it is not him it is what he lived that made him like that , this guy with an experience to be a special forces trainer and you know how serious those guys are !

[@nlngdr3580]

He can be fun too tho, but the circonstances here didn't put him in a position to be, the antibiotics for the 2staph infections he had really tired him, you can watch some interviews of him in french, he's a rly good guy (idk if there is subtitles tho)

[@DominanteMegaLit]

Nina, you are just the best!!!!

[@felixarsac9077]

Benoit tu vas revenir plus fort! La ceinture est pour bientôt ⚔️💪

[@lempereurtravel1755]

Even tho he was sick and under antibiotics.. he still give a real fight to dp .. specially the 1st round .. he just can’t make war everytime need to work on his fight iq and he will be one of the best

[@Cesarche01752]

Such a nice humble badass killer.

[@flirvloukti8009]

Super mec, j'espère qu'il sera champion un jour prochain! Go BSD !
