[@adinphillips5552]

Freddie roach

[@bigvek3094]

All he does is talking about wrestling and grappling. As soon as Dustin says. Something about boxing “tHiS iS nOt bOXiNg thIS MmA”

[@ammar675]

Yeah. Cuz islam is not merely a grappler or wrestler. Hes got both striking and wrestling.

[@crazycasy]

I like makhachev, hes witty, and I can't argue with anything he said.. dustin is probably going to drop the ball again, he seems flustered..

[@saifurrehman9173]

Islam is unintentionally funny 😅

[@bigvek3094]

Only if ur a cave dweller

[@DanielRaymondDeLong]

4 person press conference and 2 of them speak broken english 😂 big L from the UFc

[@yvonnetrimble8557]

Has the camera man got Parkinson's. Getting dizzy tryna watch this

[@jackblack6844]

GILLY GOOSE IS EVERYTHING

[@amarbhogal5244]

Man watching Paulo Costa trainer argue with Sean Strickland in English it's just hilarious the poor bastard didn't stand a chance but to be fair though Sean went very easy on him the fact that he used a compliment as an insult was f****** hilarious about your English is getting better pretty good I get the feeling that he now cares a lot about what the public think about him

[@treyjohnson8557]

Islam loves sitting next to Strickland 😂

[@saifurrehman9173]

I feel bad about him 😂

[@zoranoran]

😂

[@cyrushomes7512]

Islam the Answer Makhachev The p4p king and uncrowned double champ

[@johno30197]

This aint gonna end well for poirier not after pissing Islam off

[@tuffneggah]

islam gonna snap his hand with a kimura and convert jolie to muslimanity

[@PrimeTonysElbows]

Islam will double dose on the roids and shoot for the takedown 10 seconds into the fight instead of 30seconds in...scary stuff

[@stevedaddy3498]

Dustin by ko

[@yona1an]

fuck islam

[@Daddy-do8bn]

​@@PrimeTonysElbows I bet you have an excuse for being a failure in life too

[@sparta3421]

Vou torcer pelo Dustin !🥊🇧🇷

[@FourthDensityProductions]

Dustin will win, and all of Jizlam’s fans will be saying that if he didn’t have staph, he’d beat him 10/10 times

[@dcomposr]

Good luck with that 👍🏻

[@yona1an]

fs

[@michealortiz3350]

I like Dustin but he ain't beating Islam lol

[@AR-15-685]

where is dana?

[@codynamite69]

💎 by KO

[@joshk8599]

DP first KO & IM wins rematch.

[@bruxism4789]

Strickland gonna lose again

[@LP3me]

I think he can beat Paulo but I also see him losing and going even more downhill from here. I think he peaked with Izzy but I hope not.

[@amanahshop7698]

[@claytonWells-tr8yl]

Screw the Russian I don’t like the diamonds but I hope he drops Islam

[@Zouhaier606]

I guess dustin will get HUMBLED by Islam.that was a bad move !

[@Naksu..]

I loss my respect to DP.

[@michealortiz3350]

Why?

[@maybeioverreacted2901]

He's acting out of character I think he's going to get finished early

[@CFH50]

Don't think he cares!

[@lccody1537]

“I lost my respect for a cage fighter because he's being entertaining outside of the cage.”

[@claytonWells-tr8yl]

Islam is to scared to stay toe to toe so was khabib

[@mechanicalhippo493]

Going toe to toe is stupid.

[@claytonWells-tr8yl]

@@mechanicalhippo493 yeah. Because Islam and khabib would of lost all there fights toe to toe there scared to throw hands they would rather crotch sniff

[@mechanicalhippo493]

Yes , they would rather win. That seems to be a good goal. You think Islam fought scared? Weird. ....

[@claytonWells-tr8yl]

@@mechanicalhippo493 yeah he probably was. Idk how he says he’s pound for pound and can’t stand and throw them a while fight

[@adinphillips5552]

Islam making a joke about Brazilians not leaning English, ahahahha legend

[@Boberson481]

Lol dustin begging him box with me, islam has more ko power and is gonna make it look easy. Dustin acting like a douche for this one

[@zachbates2230]

Islam don't have more KO power than Porier. I know he won't but if Islam tries to just box/kickbox with Dustin he'll get dusted fairly quickly. Porier has some of the cleanest boxing in the entire UFC.

[@lccody1537]

If Islam stands in the pocket and bangs with Dustin he's getting flatlined.

[@msf5792]

Dustin was begging that plz don't do MMA , lets just do boxing so my American clowns ego not gets hurts 😅😅😅😅😅
