[@downfromthereeefters]

Dustin’s longevity and consistency makes his nickname SO fitting..

[@4ktre398]

diamonds never crack under pressure… unless it’s a rear naked choke

[@thedreal8584]

Best fighter to never win a belt

[@thedreal8584]

​@@4ktre398crazy how in the Khabib fight he was the only guy who put Khabib in major trouble with that Guillotine. I think he has a good shot at Oliveira in a rematch to

[@danielatlas7059]

​@@thedreal8584why tf Dustin fights Charles again???😂😂 you think Charles's gonna beat Islam in the rematch?? Lol

[@thedreal8584]

@danielatlas7059 if Charles loses to Islam he will have to climb the ranks for the belt. What better way to leap frog everyone then by fighting Dustin.

[@dangerousdamon]

The combo Hooker hits at the end of round 2 might be some of the most violent sounding punches I’ve ever heard

[@pustindoirier]

How did Dustin not go down?

[@drunkenmmamaster419]

That knee at the bell too , you could see Dustin's eyes roll into the back of his head , Dustin a fucking champ

Definitely bro! Dan almost had it too which was really exciting

[@cosmicabyss7358]

One of the most balanced fights ever.

[@arnljot9030]

This is what I pay for when I watch these guys fight, a legendary slugfest indeed!

[@SirFarquadReoDeGenero3]

This is one of those fights who you show to new fans and they fall in love instantly with the sport

[@Will-iw2lk]

nah not really this is a bit hard to watch, hooker couldn't even respond to poirier in the end when they were talking. theres a point where id rather the dude just get knocked out then just keep getitng the shit beat out of him

This fight doesn’t get talked about enough. Can’t believe it’s been 3 years

[@FinnMMA]

best round 2 of all time maybe atleast top 5

[@vincenzohhh]

This was the last time we ever truly saw Dan Hooker again.

[@lethweiblackbelt]

Idk he looked pretty good against Claudio Puelles

[@BeauRehner]

@@lethweiblackbeltPuelles is a scrub. We’ll see if he’s actually still got it against Jalin.

[@vincenzohhh]

@lethweiblackbelt not really puelles just looked extra bad. He gave up. Then got cut.

[@mirai4652]

@@lethweiblackbelthe looked awful against Puelles and is gonna get finished by Turner

[@kcinislit]

@@mirai4652well, he didn’t look awful.. he looked a little gun-shy, which is understandable considering he probably has some PTSD from this fight

[@onlybetasgetoffendedbystri8030]

W shank

[@reezy323]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who loved those standing hammer fists 😭 everytime I watch this fight I replay that part and the end of rd 2 at least 5 times 🔥 such an underrated fight

[@Togairu]

To me it just shows how comfortable Dustin is under fire...a lot of people would be defensively panicking but hes so calm he finds just a tiny opening for a creative attack

[@misaelarroyo5712]

@@Togairu bro u know the first was probably a shock but the 2 follow ups had to hurt so inconveniently bad lol

[@thatindiandude4602]

​@@Togairusame with Chandler. He was up against the fence surviving Barrages of heat seeking missiles by Chandler.

[@abenxu8731]

This fight is amazing, but it is legitimately hard for me to watch, the beating Hooker took in the last 3 is just soul crushing

[@colen7007]

Shame most fighters don't get the respect they deserve cause God damn the amount of heart it takes to endure that is ridiculous

[@stalin7146]

It was not like a onesided beating or anythin, DP had to bleed it out to win.

[@wreckitrigo230]

A beating isn’t the right word. It was a back and forth war

[@tl8863]

@@wreckitrigo230 It was a war but it got uncomfortable to watch towards the end as Hooker started fatiguing while Poirier still looked fresh. It’s hard to explain but it’s just not fun watching the momentum get to this point.

[@louisianimal24]

They beat tf outta each other bro wym

[@romerosneck]

Dustin turned Dan's brains to apple sauce he hasn't been the same since

[@SeanMillerOffical]

Some fights change a fighter, this one did for Hooker. Never the same since.

Absolute fucking warriors. The more you understand about true fighting the more you appreciate a battle like this, unreal performance by both men.

[@mattbomer5096]

I'm not a Poirier fan but now i think about it, Dustin is truly the most entertaining lightweight. Hooker, Connor, Chandler, Gaethje, Oliveira. every fight is so fun to watch.

[@matejsebechlebsky12]

say that to charles

[@m.r.a7992]

​@matejsebechlebsky12 getting your ass starched in every fight doesn't make you an entertaining fighter.

[@markomirkovic8946]

What are you talking about Dustin only lost to Oliveira he beat all the other

[@aster8605]

and alvarez and pettis

[@benpietrzykowski9216]

Seems most lightweights are compared to other divisions . I mean Justin and Dustin, Charles and Chandler , just to name a few

[@JR-bu7we]

Such a brutal fight. The COVID no fan era of fights was nasty because you could hear every punch and kick so clear, and this was the best fight of that era

[@poke9768]

Don't want to hear any disrespect towards Dustin, bro is a DAWG!

[@M3Lucky]

Nobody disrespects him...Hooker on the other hand..

[@WARRIOR-uf8ov]

​@@M3Luckyand conor

[@user-gy3te2tu8x]

Dan vs Dustin is my all time favorite fight. It was just epic. The lockdown era of ufc was savage. You could hear everything, punch, kick, walk, even their breathing. And then ofcourse this era brought another realization of the horror of the fight game in the form of Justin vs Tony. The fact that you could hear everything drove home the fact that this is really a blood spot were the journey to one man's death can only be interrupted by time or one other man. Yeah, that one I will never watch again.

[@hesoyamfxcharts8444]

When Dustin said "I'm having a blast" you only need to look at Hooker's face.

[@madextreme2682]

What makes this fight amazing was the sound of those punches , it deserved a crowd but it needed silence, Bisping's best work as a commentator lol.

[@tannermcguire7713]

This fight was the best in the apex

[@michaelmatt9752]

Fun fact: Dustin actually said that he was unconscious for second or two at the end of round 2 after that knee, and you can actually see that Dustin went limp before his back touched the cage there, 2:48. Probably my all time favorite fight in any fight sport.

[@saiyanbrother5659]

Those standing hammer fists were effective

[@tacticalmattress]

This is still one of the best fights of probably all time

[@immrsanchez]

I remember watching this fight at the pub at the time. We all commented that this would be life changing for the amount of damage taken during these exchanges. To hear those shots and to hear how excited and also concerned bisping and dom were during the fight, showed is how savage the fight was. Dan hasn't been the same since, and even dustin avoids those massive fire fights now. Much respect to both fighters. epic

[@blackman4life]

Yeah but Dustin has progressed even further after this fight. Dan regressed.

[@gabrielsilvas692]

Dustin does NOT avoid those at all!! he fought max Halloway, beat up Chandler fought Justin gaethe 2 times in a row and last one for the BMF belt lol

Fight of the year 2020

[@lucienwmoon]

I come back to this fight from time to time and all I can do is thank Dustin and Dan from the bottom of my heart for this performance. Both are equally incredible for withstanding so much and taking this fight to an utter violent, yet beautiful, level. I hate to make this comment too long but what makes it so much more intense is hearing each shot land, hearing the breathing and also hearing everyone's reactions of the strikes of each competitor. It wouldn't be the same with a crowd.
