The significance of Glover Teixeira in Alex Pereira’s rise to UFC stardom | ESPN MMA

[@activeunsub]

Get The Diamond on that analyst rotation. We have a gem here.

[@ZGOBRU]

You could say.. a diamond

[@razmus9708]

I agree. Something about his voice is so amazing in this environment. Plus his knowledge and experience. Perfect.

[@wadewillsayit...]

We want Dustin to keep doing stuff like this

[@mattzeroable]

it's a charm well spoken guy (similar to DC). Good to see him finding a career after MMA fighter career

[@DennanChew]

Dustin looking great as an analyst! ✨

Glover is a super plus , love ol glover, happy for him , champion forever

[@patricknez7258]

Strong point from DC imo about Glover being able to show Alex the strongest caliber of ground and wrestling that he could face at 205. I think DP spot on too about how quickly Glover is able to help Alex close any gaps. I think Glover and Alex are great example of an amazing coach-fighter duo that can result in impressive growth, and hones top fighter even more

[@bigheadrhino]

Glover definitely the reason Alex rnc defense is so good.

[@raymagsoudlou7609]

Alex is so good at standup he was able to focus most of his training on grappling so he improved quickly. He is very intelligent too, which helps.

[@patricknez7258]

Well said

[@guighee7310]

Dustin and Teddy Atlas were great. Hoping to see more of them

[@master19880404]

I am happy to see Dustin ❤

[@kryterz]

Dustin held his own man, good job

[@ooorico]

Not ready for Dustin to retire but seeing him on media would make it easier for sure, he looks great up there!

[@ComradeCooper]

This might be the best combined panel in the game… run this one back again ESPN if you know what’s good for you

[@alcottdevalte7440]

Fire Brett and replace him with Dustin.

[@zzzzbumm4608]

The plan

[@ClydeB1]

How about not firing anyone and just add Dustin as well?

[@supremeconsciousness6280]

Facts

[@Fightforyourmoneymma]

Agree. No energy

[@jkn2k]

PLEASE !!!

[@Santoroz]

Glover's friendship is the one of the best thing to happen to Alex. Everyone would be lucky to have a Glover in their lives.

[@iiRolltide]

Maybe I’m reaching here but Dustin said “I’m still chasing that” when talking about Robbie inspiring him to be a champ. God I hope that means he isn’t retiring 🙏

[@MMAGuruIsGayy]

He ain't retiring yet

[@LetHimRead]

Definitely not a reach, that word choice was very deliberate

[@KBWarrioR2018]

Dustin is a natural. No need to bash brett at all. I enjoy his style.

[@zozila5093]

This card gonna by amazing i completely forget about conor vs chandler thank you to alex pereira and jiri to save this day

[@laynelins9564]

Jiri offended the indigenous people of Brazil. They do not invoke evil spirits...they believe in the protection of their ancestors. Alex has indigenous blood...warrior blood. But he only achieved success by combining 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. He trains...trains...trains...tirelessly.

[@calvinhu8214]

pretty sure they could replace Okamoto with ChatGpt

DP needs to be a regular on the show 💎

[@zenbra_deutsch3500]

I could listen to Dustin, DC and Teddy Atlas for hours. Best MMAcommentary table ever.

[@joesalyers]

Dustin is prefect for a MMA analyst role on ESPN or with the UFC!!!!! I was hoping someone would pick him up and give him this opportunity to be around the sport without having to fight. Dustin Poirer is a wealth of MMA knowledge and speaks so well and it will only get better the more he does it.

[@TripleEightss]

idk if its his first time but dustin did really well here. bring him on more often!

[@MMAGuruIsGayy]

Nice to see DP in here. man's a legend.

[@mucholoko90]

Cormier seems to be such a good guy. No ego and always putting others up

[@Ron_Burgundy1009]

Pls keep Dustin for these. Maybe even Commentary some day

[@ButtaMOBLA510]

About time they show Dustin some love. Hope to see more of him

[@MeanMcMuff]

Was so happy to see Glover become a champ. Hard fought and he really had to grind to get it, faced some real killers then went on to help the next generation.

[@ManhattanKK]

Teddy Atlas is on 🔥

[@ARMYEEUU]

Cant believe glover and the amazon king are living 30 min away from me 😂

[@MrElpajita]

Having Glover so close, would never be a bad thing! Plus, Alex is avenging Glover in change of training.😁

[@coffeetalk924]

Love DP being with the guys!

[@ybkybk3756]

DP looking at home!

[@ryanmcemery354]

Dustin looks and sounds comfortable here

[@Marwan-uv1fc]

Dustin is looking good as a commentator 👏

[@rockpyl]

Dustin needs to get behind the desk whenever he hangs the gloves up, felder is my fav on the commentary team, would be sick to have Dustin right there with him.

[@devastator3904]

Great to see Dustin, even happier to see Teddy.

[@bigpoppapump8014]

The only reason I watched this is because you had Dustin in the thumbnail

[@shaun5047]

Aw man great seeing DP doing analyst work.

[@234i9]

Man Dustin is great as an analyst. More of him!

[@obu2108]

Brett Okamoto is like shopping at Pottery Barn.

[@jayn6943]

They added it to each other's careers. People just didn't take notice of Pereira but he's was at Glover's corner for years. He helped Glover his striking a bit more during his last Title run.

[@Monkey-ku2hj]

6:23 I really like DC's story telling ☺. Probably one of the craziest things to happen in MMA is Poatan's career started out of Izzy's pettiness lol

[@Jasperpodz]

“Oh So you’re a commentator now?” in Diaz voice

[@PDaddy0120]

Love they have Teddy on, ya he can be arrogant some times but gotta give the man respect he's a legend

[@joshuafaustus421]

Dustin is very analytic and Teddy Atlas is a great poet!

[@Foxian-v9r]

Shine bright like a diamond!

[@Yah_Mean]

I can already see it…”DC & The Diamond” on ESPN+. Poirier is a natural. He chimes in on key parts, his flow is smooth, his eye contact with others and the camera is great. Just a little work on his conjunctions and repeats, and he will be great.

[@kadenmaguglin392]

Dustin is awesome in this position

Alot of people always talk about how Izzy saved Alex career etc. But honestly there's never enough talk about how much Glover actually saved it. Beautiful partnership.
