Poirier vs. Hooker | Fight Highlights

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

@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.

[@andrewbourque763]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

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.
