Dustin is the poster boy for a well-adjusted, balanced fighter. I wish the UFC was full of people like him, versus people like Conor. Congrats and good luck, Dustin!
i think having both makes you appreciate each in its own way. the UFC employs so many fighters, with that many personalities it's not going to be rainbows and butterflies they're fighters.
Everyone wants to see the old and he shows up and then ur like hes not humble i like the other guy. Conor cam face anybody amd his haters have him losing😂
@tantuni it would be a snoozefest for people who prefer fancy spectacles instead of high level martial arts.
@@bryangan2224 Then go watch WWE for all that. This is about REAL skilled fighters.

yea like Joe Rogan says, Dustin is a thick boy. This weight cut is gonna be bad for him, so will the rehydration since in Dubai, they had 2, almost 3 days to rehydrate. Now that its in Vegas, Dustin has 24 hours
Just looking forward to that red panty night. deep within probably doesn’t give a fuck if he wins or lose.

dustin looks like he's getting younger rather than older
Yea but his brain isn’t. Dude is a few fights away from hanging em up imo. **clarification, he SHOULD hang em up a few fights from now IMO, but he prolly won’t. I’m surprised his chin is still OKAY with all the wars he’s been through
@dvor domazhni knockouts don't mean bonus brain damage bro. Look at Overeem, been KO'd by everybody and their mother and still talks extremely eloquently and coherently. His bad chin actually helps him out to not take too much extra damage. Dustin's fight with Hooker probably has caused twice the brain damage of the Reem's entire career 😂. He's been in so many wars and he's been hit so much. Granted he does still seem like an intelligent, articulate dude.
@@__Ognam idk man, i think that ngannou uppercut that reem took is equivalent to 10 dustin vs hooker wars lol.

Why u care ito another fighter if he is good or bad he is not ur husband Dumbas care urself

@@Torgomasta “in order to protect something, one must sacrifice something else.” Its obliviously a metaphor for paternal instinct, you’re an idiot or a troll, in either case it’s not worth talking to you
To be honest, Dustin has been through a number of 5 round wars while Conor was on his losing streak.
Nothing to be honest about it's facts 100%. Dustin sleeps that🤡🤡 again.
@@davidanyasike2821 Yes 100%, I see it going down that way or even worst. He knocked out Conor last time and didn't get Conor's respect completely. Now Dustin might frustrate Conor with a lot of grappling and kicking first and then striking in the later rounds, basically to defeat him in all these areas one after the other.
@@bhupeshkamal8572 i agree
@@bhupeshkamal8572 It's not that he didn't get Conor's respect. Conor is a sh talker who will never publically give credit to anyone, even when they maul and choke and knock him out.
I had a dream last night that poirier starched him bad....
Even if he doesn't win the fight, he wins the hearts of the people! Rooting for you Dustin!💎🤘
“That’s the last time you interview my man!” -Jolie Poirier to Megan Olivi
Man. I can’t pick this one. I don’t wanna see either lose. Conor brought me in to the sport and I met poirier a couple months ago and he was the nicest dude ever.
How big is he dude ? In person ..
@@edwardallan5633 he's 5'9 lol he's not big by any means 😂 but he's actually lanky long arms and big shoulders as well so he does look bigger on TV
@lucky m3x An average Americam man is actually 5'9, so he really is very average in height, he's very thick and wide tho so perhaps a little above average in size
@@barrymcokiner69 he has this wide body that gives the impression that he's big, but skinny lanky arms, I doubt if he weighs more than 185.

its so easy to take for granted because im so used to it lol
I got Dustin winning again easily, gotta appreciate this man for always giving us the most exciting fights, good man.
He’s never won an easy fight
@@gotya2624 The last one was an easy fight besides Conor winning the first round since Dustin takes a little time to start fast... If you compare it to him fighting Gaethje, Max, Eddie and Hooker, the last one against Conor was easy...

The production of this interview was high level. Questions, tech, chemistry. Solid
Great interview!! Dustin is a great human being. Set himself on fire to keep his family warm. Wow that was powerful. He goes into the fire every time he steps in the octagon. The diamond will shine Saturday night 💎
Dustin has a great mentality. "Any fight can be your last" - Dustin. Looks like he understands the stakes!
bro, what is this candle light dinner vibe in the air? Dustin about to risk it all
Dustin isn’t really risking a lot though, compared to Conor
@@Ron_Swanson not what he means bro 😂
@@Ron_Swanson Poirier is risking more. he's potentially risking a title shot. Mcgregor will have money fights with Diaz etc available even if he loses
No candles and no dinner but hey
Megan said joes not home 🥵
Stand-up dude, who had to work for it, and is growing more and more into his own. And somebody who strives to be a good man, everywhere - not just in the octagon - for his family, his community. Awesome stuff. An inspiring man.
Good Luck From Ireland Dustin. Love a humble fighter.
Dustin- I really feel like im gonna submit him Megan- Can you show me how, benny boys not home
@ik ur cool irrelevant dogshit!
I dont know why, but after this fight, if conor loses, its gon be the end of an era
Yeah and all the haters will miss him. Wish they could just appreciate the entertainment he brings.
It’s already been gone for a long time. Same fighter. He’s been figured out.
@@Bathingwookie I don't personally like him, but I wouldn't say that I'm a hater. Some of his press conferences are quite funny, and his fighting style is also entertaining. But I feel like at this point, he's been pretty inactive so he'll just gradually fade away if he loses this one
Nah
Looking back at this for a second time and this man has so much depth and levels to him as human being, husband and farther. Me personally i can relate to his struggles and past. He's a class act man and deserves everything he and his family gets.
Dustin: "I'll set myself on fire to keep them warm." Olivia: "That, that's a beautiful sentiment." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Who's olivia
Its Megan Olivi
Olivi cheating on McGregor with these type of interviews 😪😪😪
@be happy dogshit!
Megan is amazing glad she’s getting opportunities with the UFC
Shes been 👌
I have to give Mad Props to Megan Olivi . She has gotten really good/better/great at her job. She seams much more relaxed now. To me in the past she seamed to be trying to hard to prove herself. I could be ( most likely am) wrong. I’m just trying to say “ this was a great interview 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸💎🇺🇸💎🇺🇸
DUSTIN “I DONT CARE THE DIAMOND 💎” POIRIER
Dustin most definitely deserves a title shot mane, he’s been number 1 contender for a long time. Mike chandler has one fight and competes for the belt. Not fair in my eyes, Dustin gonna take Connor out on a stretcher, change my mind 😈
Are you stupid? Dustin refused to fight for belt with oliviera and chose conors money fight.
@@sangamb8429 is right… they offered Poirier the fight before even considering Chandler. That’s why Mcgregor said “ he chose the McG over the belt” and who wouldn’t.. he would get a flat fee fighting for the belt.. fight Mcgregor he’s making bank and PPV points. Anyone that wouldn’t… well that’s what u call a sawed off human
@@spinadams4026 he is number 1 contender for a reason, and they dont just get up there for luck, no way in hell he is ducking Olivera. Once connors his head knocked off he even said Olivera is next. Its only right to fight a third time with both winning 1 fight.
Called it homie💯
@@justinchilcutt5114 nobody said he was ducking.. read my comment in full bruh.. again he chose to fight for the cash.. helluva lotta cash.. over the belt (who wouldn’t).. no ducking included
Poirier might win.... But Conor convinces me everytime! Let's Gooo!!!!
🇮🇪👊🏻😎agreed
Like a snake oil salesman at a dealership or a fake pastor taking your money.
@@Jv9569 yup, sometimes 😋
@@Jv9569 although he actually delivers a lot of the time.
“I’d set myself on fire to keep them warm” What a humble and respectable man.
Just to remind you all, last time Connor won a proper fight was 2016 .... ( I know cerrone but he was done and basically just tryna make a pay check before retirement)
did you think we don’t know .. everyone already knows .. thats hey guys gsp retired .. bisbing was fighting with one eye .. masvidal is from miami .. like yeah no shit
His hot sauce is actually pretty damn good.👍
You have it with chicken?
Yep pretty tasty stuff, used both bottles and want more.

@@ashwinrajesh7545 Not really
That’s not Channing Tatum that’s ufc fighter Dustin Poirier
*gets cut from ultimate fighter* “I’d tell him good job”
You missed the point...
He didn’t get cut he just didn’t get signed because they told him he was too boring and clearly they were wrong
He’s right..... you really have to have that “whatever happens.....happens” attitude. That’s why gamblers win big. They bet big and really don’t care about losing it. I believe it’s a vibe thing. It’s all about your approach. And most times, it’s when you reach an age, a point in your life when you feel grounded. Whether it’s emotional or whatever. Be in the moment....... good fight it’ll be regardless........🤙🏼
💯
Iv watched everything ufc has dropped man I'm so excited wish I could be there ! Someday
Good interview . I’m finally listening to some new questions.
Dustin is a very cool cat. I'm a big fan of the spectacle Conor brings, not just in his antics before the fight, but in his explosive, dynamic fighting style. He's a glass cannon, effectively, and that's always fun. But ultimately, I have to root for a guy as humble and genuinely decent as Dustin. Hope Conor's nonsense doesn't get in his head at all. He seems to be pretty unfazed so far anyway.
Megan is one of the best to ever do it, props to her!
Man this dude is just a cool guy , humbled , family’s man and just a regular guy to relate with in some ways . I respect that
Great interview, Megan! Natural, quick and fun
Badass interview! 👌🏽

when its fight week i watch about 200 videos on basically the same thing but i love it
Awesome that self-confidence is what Dustin cites as the secret-sauce that allowed him to defeat Kid Irish. You wouldn't think that who has the better therapist would make the difference in a cage fight, but psychology wins the day yet again.
He said " I will light myself on fire to keep them warm" damn I love that.
"Megan, I would set you on fire to keep them warm". Takes out a lighter, she runs out of the room.
I respect Dustin so much for him being himself.And he said it.You can't buy heart.You're a true CHAMP Dustin.
wonderful questions Olivi! thanks for being real Diamond!
“I would set my self on fire to keep them(His family) warm”Dustin is so so pure class man He is the next wonder-boy in my eyes
6:30 staring at dustin with shades on lmao this guys hilarious. But he sleeps again, Dustins dropping a TKO combo on him round 2.
"I set myself on fire to keep them warm!" he just became one of may favs in the UFC
Dustin is an amazing man. "I would set myself on fire to keep them warm". I am a veteran and yet he sounds like one, that's all heart. That's why he's going to be Connor on Saturday. Respect and Honour, when you bring that to combat you've all ready won, live or die. Keep calm carry on Dustin, I can't wait till you're the champ.
I love my kids so much, I would freeze myself with liquid nitrogen to keep them cool in the summer

UFC : Only promo, interviews and embedded vlogs with Dustin poirer
Megan Olivi is probably my 3rd or fourth Favorite UFC interviewer. 1. BBC Sport - You have to lump them all in together because they're just SO GOOD! 2. MMA on Point, those guys interview so well and they have amazing creativity. 3. Megan - She's been crushing it from day 1, but i would like to think being married to an MMA fighter would help in knowing which questions are annoying and which questions are actually helpful. Also, I've noticed she humanizes a lot of people.
Great interview Megan and Dustin!!!
"you are not just gonna walk away from that and say nothing to be learnt" i wonder what she refers too by saying that.
What is it? Am i missing something
@@qu9809 nah he just asked whats practically a rhetoric she asked what he learned right before that as in "you obviously didnt walk out if that win with no knowledge so what did you learn "
What an absolutely good dude. And Conor is awesome for the sport. CANNOT WAIT!

"I would set myself on fire to keep them warm", how can you not root for this man...
