Dustin Poirier the only guy to go in a war against Chandler and start analyzing his fight what a legend
😄😄
@@JohnnytNatural yeah that shit was dirty. Cowardly way to fight in MMA
🙂
,
Yeah he did fish hook along with 2 or 3 illegal other things buddy
Now I know why his nickname is the Diamond. Guy is one of the most durable human beings alive. Physically and mentally.
So is iron
How he took those shots man 🥶 these shots could put welterweights to sleep
i think il get hate but i think prime tony was more durable ._. but what you said is right.
that became evident when he beat gaethje and walked away with a torn hamstring from all those leg kicks.
😂 he keeps fighting for no reason he will never be a champ he a fake diamond
"Without fear, there's no bravery" Well said Dustin 👏🏼💎
That gave me a woody.
He said without fear there can be no greatness
Kinda sus tho
@@zs8796 what i don't get is why adesanya let pereira walk him down the entire fight. He was in most trouble against the cage and kept backing up. I thought when he saw his counters were landing he would stop doing that. Reminds me of ivan drago vs creed "that style just won't beat a man like that"
@@TH4_EO like the other guy said, and the idea of darting away laterally when you're cornered is simple enough, but I imagine having poatan stand in front of you, in range to round kick you at will, discourages you from committing to a single direction, in case he throws something that intercepts perfectly.
he might be an only fighter who actually answered joe's questions sincerely
He always does, he's a realist but also the realest.
Days of raging and going with the flow are gone now for Dustin. Obviously he was always a humble fighter but now he just fights for himself, his family and his charity. The fans, the fighters, the fights themselves don't control him at all. He is above these dominions. Wish he could win a championship though. The way he mentions 2 losses to RNC in title fights is just straight up pain. The man could rest peacefully if he gets the gold once.
@Begus 🅱️ How can you say chandler had the best chance after watching this fight?
Nate Diaz is the worst if y'all remember the mcgregor callout 🤣
@Begus 🅱️ Chandlers wrestling would last one round. After that he is going to drown.
Without lightweights there is no ufc..both are incredible
Mcgregor, Khabib, Poirier, Gaethje are legends man. Hope Dariush gets the acknowledgement he desrrves soon too
Chandler, Pettis, RDA, Cowboy, BJ, Edgar, Henderson, Tony
@@seanpaulmagbanua745 obviously. There are others too. bj penn, franky edgar, pettis,rda, ferguson, oliveira , alvarez, chandler , henderson. all are men, myths & legends.
@@seanpaulmagbanua745 how dare you not mention Tony
Why not? There are feather weights, welter weights, middle weights, heavy weights.
Dustin Poirier simply has proven himself time and time again. Win or loss Michael Chandler never ever fails to deliver with great performance’s.
Shut up bro😂
not a better way to say it.
Chandler always suicide him self
yes SIR.
Chandler blew it🤣
Poirier is a WARRIOR and has a huge heart, Chandler tried everything but still couldn't defeat this man. Congratulations to the diamond.
Yup dirty ass chandler even tried fish hooks. So glad poirier beat his ass
Including cheating
you can hate me for saying this but i feel this is not enough for dustin to beat islam.
@@ryangreen45 if u aint cheating, you aint trying
@@altaralmizan4481 Pretty sure this isn't an unpopular opinion. Wrestling is the biggest hole in Dustin's game and we saw tonight just how vulnerable his back is once you take him down. That being said he's still my favourite fighter, but yeah the Dagestani style is probably his worst matchup
Dustin boxing defense is so good man even when he's hurt he blocks it so well.😳
Conor MCTAPPER would die against either of these dudes, Dustin already DEMOLISHED him twice 🤣🐓 Incoming MCHICKEN tapper fanboys
The commentary was biased af for Chandler when he was on the feet. Dustin’s guard was blocking the majority of Mike’s punches and they made no mention of it. And the referee not catching the fish hook… The officials were wildly against Dustin tonight.
@@ARR409 Nah Chandler had Dustin hurt
Its some type of wing chun. Forgot where I got this
Liking your own comments with 100000 bots lol get a life
Dustin is a prime example of staying calm under pressure and truly showed there is levels to this, Chandler's a dog but he's wild either way this was a GREAT fight !
After he got rocked in the first you could see the cobwebs shake off and he found his groove and it was over
That's why they call him "the Diamond". Diamonds are formed under pressure
Dustin must have learned in the last few years because he lost his cool a few times in the Khabib fight.
Chandler is UFC's new Nate Diaz. That boy might lose more than he wins but his fights are certified bangers. Wars and tons of blood always guaranteed 🔥
Certified 💯
More like Kevin Lee
But if he keep losing he’s just gonna be another Tony ferguson or Jorge masvidal, Chandler has been fighting for a long time and his 36 yo
Ton of Chandlers blood
Way more exciting than Diaz lmao
"Who ain't got jujutsu?" coolest Poirier moment!
Any fight involving Michael Chandler will end up a damn bloodbath. Guy is straight up insane. The fact that Dustin made it through that beat down is wild.
What? Lol
The blood was coming from chandler porrier didn’t even have a scratch I don’t what beat down you talking about
@@noahfontenot2003 lol fr Dustin is the one who made chandler nose explode and made him very bleedy
Dustin didn't look very hurt at any point. Chandler gassed and layed on him for a round. Got some decent gnp in but wasn't that bad.
blood usually coming from chandler lol
Joe watching Poirier saying "Without fear, there's no bravery" and thinking "Damn, that was a good line"
"Who ain't got jiu jitsu?" Is a certified hood classic.
Still wont beat sambo
I mean chandler is better than him at jiujitsu, chandler controlled him on the ground the whole of round 2 and dustin didn't even get back up once. and dustin only got his back cause of a small chandler mistake. but yea dustin aint bad at jiujitsu but chandler is way better than dustin at jiujitsu
This is directly to Islam Mackhachev lmao
Wait until islam to check his moment
@@mahesapardede2068 We have to check who give him black belt
Poirer blesses fans with such great performances. Overcoming multiple wars against Holloway, Hooker, Alvarez, Gaethje, Chandler and all his other fights. Beast.
Oh you Poirerr Dick rider Conor knock your Dad out
and mcgregor too in the second fight
@@bc6122 wouldn't say that was a war Poirier put him away fairly easily both times.
Lol he won all those fights Dustin is truly the diamond 💎
His fight with Jim Miller was brutal as well.
poirier, gaethje, alvarez and chandler. all either fight of the nights or fight of the years when they’ve been matched up. legends straight up
@@chrism6446 Truer thing has never been said
Conor MCTAPPER, tap of the night 🤣🐓
💯💯💯
and cte
Right none of these guys are ever in a boring fight.
Poirier is the most underrated hall of famer both for fighting and for rocking the same haircut for 15 years
He’s the best to never be undisputed.
Chandler hurt porier more than “Best boxer” MCTAPPER chicken quitter loser ever did I can’t believe he wants to fight him a fourth time he will literally leave in a coffin 🤣🐓
@@shoresy4084 haha ikr?
@@shoresy4084 Dude, did McGregor bang your or mom or something? You’re in these comments hating on him like a salty ex girlfriend lol
I am unsure if he's really a hof worthy fighter that being said, he's probably my favorite fighter who showed extreme improvements over time from being a hotheaded bully to a fucking diamond wall that refuses to bow down and fights with intense focus and perseverance.
"Hey, Mike! I was scared to fight you. It was coming from a healthy spot. Without fear, there is no bravery." - The 💎
But then talks mad shit about him back stage
He knew little boys like you would be repeating it like a mantra
@@happytrailsgaming what did he say?
@@happytrailsgaming I mean it was fair and square, chandler fought dirty.
@@amerhst1201 search it
Fireworks of a fight. Dustin's jiu jitsu always been underrated. Was surprised that he was too afraid to use it against Oliveira. First time Chandler been submitted, MMA is extremely unpredictable...
Charles couldn't even choke out Chandler
Not underrated, people wasnt just aware of it. Hes jiu jitsu credentials was always mentioned and nobody ever said he was bad at jiu jitsu. Same thing as makhachev being good at striking but people was just unaware of how good he was at striking.
Dont underestimate charles 😄 he beat most of the top 5.
Charles is better BJJ fighter
@@seanpaulmagbanua745 Makhachev laughed at Poirier's BJJ recently.
Dustin porier just finished all 3 heavy hitters:Justin gaethje, conor mcgregor and now Michael chandler what a savage dude
Too bad he'll never win the title.
@@danieljaouhari7061 yep, because of wrestling and grappling
@@danieljaouhari7061 The interim will have to do.
@@wrestlinggirl8 Because of wrestling/grappling? Yes it's part of the sport.
@@brandonamezquita4501 Interim means nothing.
“Without fear there’s no bravery.”
i love it
Dustin has underrated poetry: “Paid in full” “If you look at tomorrow then you loose today” when asked why you shouldn’t look forward.

Him admitting he was scared of chandler was some real shit Love this sport so much
Seeing how Chandler was fighting, I don't blame him
I would be scared too, Chandler was throwing some huge bombs, dustin almost got knocked out in a brief moment
Very humbling and humane of him to admit that
@@tobysmith2081 lol seeig how chandler was fighting he was 2-2 with both of his wins coming against 2 dudes with a combined record of 2-8 in their last 10 fights 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chandler: "Another 10 years off my life is nothing."
The most technically sound post fight interviewee right here. Didn't waste a second on the mic thanking his dog, childhood babysitter, and gardener for all the hard work getting him to where he is at.
Definitely one of the most scummy comments I have ever read, imagine thinking you should never give credit to anyone who helped you get to where you are
@@williamrobert9898 cry harder.
@@Sir_Killsalot Keep whining
@@williamrobert9898 billy bob, just glad someone actually answering Joe Rogan's questions...stick to the agenda...you on the other hand, are an amazing internet warrior.
@@fredeezee8379 Could you repeat that again like a good 🐶?
Porier and Chandler are allergic to boring fights. Banger after banger after banger.
After 4 minutes mark Chandler tries to make it boring tho.
@@yendevus1747 you are such a clown 🤦♂️🤡 chandler dominates on the ground in the second and you call that "boring " ? Please delete that comment before you get roasted more for you're sake
@@yendevus1747 nah … it wasn’t boring .. ur just a casual fan .. that’s it
Gaethje
@@samuraicop4930 the blatant cheating when behind really ruined the fight for me
Dustin Poirier has heart that you can’t teach but you need to be born with... What a warrior 🔥🙌
colby gonna fold him
@@bane8305 if he were to jump up to 170 then yes, Colby would fold him
Sad, Chandler won't be able to adopt another black kid
@@bane8305 Dustin would piece him up
MCTAPPER would die 🐓🤣
Dustin was able to lock up a rear naked choke. Something not even Charles was able to do against Micheal. Amazing!
Charles had to do it in R1, Dustin had to do it R3 when Chandler was gassed. Impressive none the less. Love DP
@@manavbhalla2861 nah Charles is just a bum, who gave him his black belt. We need to check this
@@mmredfs361 This is #1 bullshit
@@mmredfs361 Charles Beated Dustin, How the Fuck he is a Bum??🤣🤣
@@mmredfs361 cringe af comment lmao
If it wasn't for a slight deficiency in his grappling/wrestling, he would easily be champion and probably the most deserving of them all. The guy has fought the absolute elite, in the most elite weight class for so long now, but is still as sharp as he ever was. Absolute warrior.
If khabib didn't exist.dustin would have ruled lightweight
Honestly I wouldn't even call it a deficiency. The grapplers that he's lost against just happen to be absolute masters at what they do. Dustin's already well rounded, but guys like Nurmagomedov and Oliveira are just spectacular at their ground game.
@@korudero even Chandler is soo good on the ground.
@@ganeshghogare6272 he already lost to Charles but yeah, i think he could win in a rematch. But he doesn't have an answer to the dagestani sambo style
Yup if he was just a little more advanced on the ground he’s an all time champ he’s already all time great but he finishes khabib and Olivera and has long run in belt
These men never disappoint, thankful for their careers 💯
That first round was the most intense round i’ve ever witness
The punch where he exploded Chandler's nose was one of the most violent things they've ever put in slo mo💀
there is no UFC fighter that I look up to more than Dustin Poirier
Than you barely must know some
@@JaanKashmiri Poirier is absolutely one of the all around best role models in the UFC, who’s yours? Jon Jones?
@@JaanKashmiriExcuse me?
When Dustin called his name I remembered how Chandler said he hates when guys try and talk to him after a loss for obvious reasons lmao. Great fight from both
You thought the same thing as me then 🤦♂️💀 his face told it aswell he's like "bruh you just beat the shit out of me give me some space "
I could tell he was a little pissed off, I don't blame him though, Iove his style anyways
@@josiahgonzalez942 🤣
I don’t think he was bragging but it doe’s look disrespectful sometimes
@@marianatequiero28 When he said it he wasn’t bitter, he just personally isn’t in the mood to be all buddy buddy but he’s polite enough.
Dustin took Islam criticism personally about the black belt and proved that he's legitimate bjj black belt, Dustin vs. Beneil should be next for number 1. contender fight
Win or Lose, Chandler always entertain us. Respect to both warriors. This is why it’s called People main event!
Dudes a cheater
That last words of him was a call out for Makhachev
I love how real Poirier is. You get a guy like Adesanya who can't admit he was in trouble, hell the guy could lose both his legs and still somehow rationalize walking out of the place. Then you got Poirier who is a killer but humble about it. Love it.
Dustin hands down the fighter I respect the most. No excuses. Fights like a fighter. Respectable human being. Honest like how can you not like this dude.
No one willingly trades with this man for more than a few clean punches. Chandler actually had a gameplan, but all it took was five clean shots for it to not matter because there was no gas left in the tank.
This guy is truly amazing he's a phenomenal fighter and he learns from his mistakes better then anyone in this game and comes back everytime
It's truly amazing to remember how khabib made them look like amateurs
@@ramzichouk4080 Yes, good to mention Khabib here, he went through poirier as it was nothing, so not much respect to poirier as he was defeated handly, the victory here does not prove anything, very good point, I agree with you.
DURABLE . ABSOLUTE SAVAGE . THE BEST RESUME AT 155 , ONLY A BELT WOULD CEMENT HIM TOP 3 LW ever
Such a respectful person Dustin 💣
Without fear there is no bravery!! Let’s go! 💎
Lmaoo when he mocked makhachev "joo jitsoo" he got me.
I like how Joe steps back and lets the Warriors share their moment.
Damn, that was brutal. Respect to both, glad to see Dustin get the win.
What a fight, even better than the Gaethje vs Chandler fight, props to both fighters for this incredible battle. Congratulations to Poirier for this win, and kudos to Chandler for a great performance despite coming up short in the end.
One of my favorites! A true honest warrior! Dustin you rock brother!
Another savage added to Dustin’s resume, both legends in this game
One of the best fights I have ever watched. Thank you both !
OMG this man is such a hard working n tough guy I ve ever seen🧡
Great fight, real unstoppable fighters! Rspt to Dustin and Michael!💪✌👊
they're both got stopped.. what unstoppable
@@sonyemerson6675 Lol
Chandler tapped
Great show of respect between two gladiators.
💎 my man well done! He’s faced adversity & overcome as he has many times before . Incredible fighter 👏
Dustin fought everyone..he is very strong fighter,very healthy,he has win over so many strong top level fighters.. respect
You can't not to like Dustin. Such an amazing guy and personality. The interview after the fight - a pure class. And a hell of fighter. All the best to him and his family.
I'm glad Chandler got humbled. I saw him talk about having that title next year like it's a done deal and was looking past his opponent for a McGregor money fight.
Honestly Chandler was ahead on the scorecards, he just underestimated Poirier bjj in the end
@@penayecyrille9405 he lacks the iq
@@penayecyrille9405 he was gassed and the broken nose made it worse
Humbled? Tf are you talking weirdo, he's been humble.
Well, chandler tried.. Using more wrestling was a good strategy, but he almost emptied his whole tank in round 1 and that backfired. He took a gamble unloading on Poirier after he got him hurt; and he lost that bet.
I love the respect at the end. "without fear, there is no bravery."
Respeto para ambos guerreros
Excelente luchador con mucha experiencia. Tiene un futuro en el octagono
Love his interviews. So honest.
1 of the very best..insane striker,great grapler and a good guy..respect Mr.Poirier.
I like what the corner told Dustin after the second round, it fired up Dustin and he just handled Chandler in the 3rd
Bro what 😂😂 chandler had the take down secured. He was the idiot who decided to rush a finish instead of continuing what he did in round 2. Chandler choked this win … literally.
Chandler's trash
@@imhim2920 chandler keeps choking wins, he prob coudlve won oliveira and gaethje fights but he keeps choking in big fights lmao.
@@matthewa7503 ain’t that the truth
@@imhim2920 And yet he still did MILES better than your hero MCTAPPER ever did against him 🤣🐓 not counting the back of the head shot in 2014.
One of the greatest lightweights ever. Man, I hope he gets the belt one of these days. What a guy.
I hope too
@@lni2719 Very true.
That was UNREAL! I don't know how he made it through that 1st round! What a badass
The humbleness this fight King has is phenomenal than most of the other I see. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
One of my favorites since WEC. I know when he wins he does even more for his foundation to. Giving is a blessing.
Congrats Dustin such a great human being that deserves everything good coming to him
Dustin's black belt is on the line tonight, and boy did he proved it.
Who put his black belt on the line tonight?
@@BadselS Islam put his bjj on the line.
Beautiful win, great respect to both. Congrats Dustin Poirier 👏👑👀🙌🔥☝️💪👊 there is a reason why he is called The Diamond
Absolutely love that guy always bring it Every time Legend
Every single chandler fight I’ve watched is a banger
"without fear there is no greatness" I'm gonna live by that.
There is no bravery *
One sentence and you fucked it up
Makes sense if you don’t challenge yourself, face your fears then there is no greatness in life I’ll live by this quote
The fact that Charles couldn’t choke out Micheal but Dustin did says a lot about how good Dustin is and of course how unpredictable the sport is.
Representing our humble Louisiana folk. Dustin is a quality individual and I’m proud to claim him as my favorite UFC fighter. Humble in victory or defeat.
Love you Dustin. Humble n fun guy.
Dustin 💪👍❤🇹🇯🤝🤲
Man what an absolute war......props to dustin being so tough.....Gotta feel for chandler ....he is so entertaining
Absolutely love the respect to both warriors 💥
First of all congratulations to dp 💎 for the win over Chandler , wild fight . Bro Makhachev didn't told that Poirier didn't got any jiu-jitsu. He just said that who gave him a black belt. There's a difference 💯 because last time when we saw him with Oliveira , we all knew what happened 🤷🏻♂️ that roll by dp when Oliveira caught his single wrist was totally unnecessary 😂 , he just led Oliveira to get a top of him and in the entire 2nd round Oliveira did ground and pound and made dp tired
Who ain't got jujitsu -Dustin Poirier
Dustin the type of guy to give Michael chandler a legendary quote !! "without fear there's no bravery" 🔥
Love this man.. what a legend 👊🏼
Diamond breaks through Iron, I should have known he would have won 💎 what an awesome fight 💥🔥
Big Dan listening to Poirier say that line like a wise old man seeing a younger man do great things
Poirier continues to impress.
The Last one was a jab at makhachev.😄😂 Great comeback win
Bro Makhachev didn't told that Poirier didn't got any jiu-jitsu. He just said that who gave him a black belt.

islam punches like a girl
Dustin a real warrior to always fight clean and initiative
Clear and pure spirit of the warrior
i like how other fighters in the intreviews always be like" im the king, im the man" and all the trash talk... while poirier always give a full report about the fight
After this fight Chandler can destroy Makhachev only in his dreams
Dustin is truly a diamond. Very, very tough guy.
I like both guys so I would of been happy with either outcome. Congrats Dustin 👊🏽💎
What an absolute war that was and that we all expected. Congrats my man Dustin on the win well deserved victory from this lightweight veteran still beating the most dangerous fighers. Feel bad for Chandler he looked like he was winning after that 2nd round. Hats off to these great fighters !👏👏
Chandler is a cheater dude. F em
1st to submit Chandler as well.....nice.
Mike Cuckler is a quitter
Conor MCTAPPER would get knocked out in 60 seconds if they fight again Dustin is so much better than him 🐓🤣
@James Ma ditch his wife? Why
Dustin took some big shots in the first and didn’t go out, then came back and absolutely lit up chandler. What a dog
Dustin will be king at lightweight next year..👑💎
Again again this man rise! I love to see him as an champ
Chandler was fighting like Poirier owned him some lunch money in RD 1. 🔥 🔥
Imagine Chandler got the choke after cheating with fishhooking - especially since he got Dustin there after a clash of heads. Dustin is such a warrior for overcoming that and winning that round then submitting Chandler in return.
I like the way Dustin said 'Who ain't got ju jit siu' 🔥🙌🏻
Congratulations Champ!!! Keep Grinding, Let's Go!!!
