“Nobody wants to be used to losing but I’m used to learning” spoken like a true man 🙌🏽
Thanks for point that out 🙏🏾 Dustin embodies the Man in the Arena narrative ! He is great
Took one from Connor's playbook. "You win and learn"
@@Gravy1255 lol delusional Connor fan whats new
he did learn though from his first title fight. He came into this fight too pumped up. He had and energy drop in the 3rd round. He should have been calm and relaxed like he was against Conor.
@@Gravy1255 Absolutely, Conor McGregor coined the phrase "you live and you learn" back in the 1500s. Can't believe Dustin would plagiarize the man's trademarked philosophy smh
It’s crazy how people called Charles a quitter and then he pulls off insane comebacks against Chandler and Dustin. Dudes a legend
Gotta put him up in top 5 or 3 P4P now
Wiah he didn't cheat tho
@@MrJman967 can't ignore the glove grab, or the fact khabib would still be champ ;)
@@KerioFive khabib meat riders coming out to defend the guy who isn’t even fighting anymore
@@KerioFive when has khabib fought a real wrestler or grappler? A bjj specialist lol. Usman beneil or Charles will be give khabib nightmares but guess what he only fights strikers Conor Dustin Justin.
Such an emotional guy. Wears his heart on his sleeve. Totally translucent. They don’t make them much like this anymore. A true champion in every sense of the word.
copy paste?
Well not in every sense of the word, since yknow he lost😱
Who don't make?
A true champ … Besides in the ufc lol
The new types are Omelly.🤦♂️
One of the many things I like about Poirier: he tells it like it is! So much respect for his honesty and character.
Damn i felt like Dustin was at the edge of bursting into tears… I can clearly feel his emotion through his eyes🥺🥺🥺
Dustin is a damn warrior !!! In boxing we would call him the peoples champion 💪🏽 he doesn’t need a belt he gives the fans the best fights win and lose 💯
Just shows Connor was levels above him in his prime now tho. Dustin won’t ever have a belt, mystic Mac made it look easy and pea head thought he had a chance to get a belt 😂😂😭😭😭😭
Olivera destroyed Dustin
Yes it brings tears to my eyes. Tears of joy
@@idontknow2441 conor took an L get over it. Prime conor lost to nate diaz don't forget that
“A lot of education in my life is from these moments, learning about myself. It just sucks, man. I really worked hard and sacrificed a lot.” “The opportunity is ruined. And that’s all right. That’s what it is. I’ll look in the mirror like a man.” Even in losing Dustin’s character is out front. We need more men like him in the world. Congrats to Charles.
Gawk gawk
@@MuffinGotJokes lmaooo
@Krats Aristo prove it. Either way, this man walks his talk.
this shows he is greater then life
Indeed Salute. From Queens NYC
One of the most genuine athletes in the world. He's a champ regardless.
Ufc rankings say otherwise
No he’s actually the number one conte fr, sure to fall a spot or 2.
He’ll never be champ.
no hes not lmao
An epitome of a true gentleman, a great fighter and most importantly a great human being. Nothing but respect to you my brother!! Come back stronger
@Mohammed Aziz Khabib has nothing but respect for Dustin. You really just proved you’re nothing but a casual. 😂
@Mohammed Aziz ok do you think khabib is the first ever ufc fighter to show humility or be humble if so you must be a new fan or just a khabib fanboy.
@Mohammed Aziz how am I meant to decipher that absolute mess you typed I didn't say anything about khabib not being humble or a good guy you are acting like he is the only decent person to have ever lived and why are you bringing religion into it that's something stupid people do to trying deflect from the actual subject.
Come back crying 😭
I hated that one of them had to lose! Both such great guys!
weirdhow judges gave 10 8 for second round but not the first
yeah this was one fight where i didn't want neither of them to loose...being a fan sucks sometimes😌
Charles cheated
The better man won
Is you're name actually jebus
That's why EVERYONE loves DUSTIN. What a role model. This guy is one of the greatest. Humble, respectful, and just tough as nails. One of my favorites.
Dustin isn't a great guy. Just watch old and recent footage of him demolishing amateurs in sparring. Covington is a great guy faking to be a jerk, Poirier is a jerk faking his great guy personality. He's tough though
He is my favorite too, That's why I was so down today. I took it like I took an L.
I dont care much for him tbh
Definitely not one of the greats. Being this much of a one dimensional fighter doesn’t make you that great in the octagon. Everytime he faces grapplers he loses
@@saturnringer267 despite that he’s top 5 lightweights of all time if you look at who he’s beaten
That was such a pure fight, such a big fan of Dustin! The way he’s so dedicated to his foundation is what made me become such a big fan! Charles is tough and fights at an insane pace
This was THE fight I was looking forward to the most this year and it was an emotional roller coaster. People can talk all they want, but if you’re man and a real dude, there’s no way you don’t put respect on Charles and Dustin
I know this guy as a good person, a good husband, a good father, a mature man with significant efforts in his career, a person with a kind heart when he has done so many social projects. I really feel that we should respect and admire what he did, give us another match and all we need is that he's a world champion again. Come on Dustin Poirier!!!!!!!
I'm not saying that Dustin not a good person because what I know of him he is what I am saying he human and make mistakes like all of us, he knocked out a amateur during sparring and as you could in this boring fight with Oliveira he tapped out he's a quitter unlike Holly holm never tapped out in a fight!
@@greeneyes7026 tap out or go unconscious. He’d lost either way. You’re saying because he chose to tap he’s a quitter? How dumb you must be. I guess you’d have gone unconscious right? Or maybe, and I’d bet my house on this, the biggest choice you’ve ever made in life is weather to get fries with your burger.
I agree, but he would lose to him again.
DP Always comes back stronger. His resilience is inspirational.
Conor will smack him in the 4th fight
@@alexgomez4105 cap
Yeah deep penatration . Dp. Wtf bro. Don't call him that
dude if he can come back better again that would be the best light weight ever lol
@@alexgomez4105 hahaha hope youre not serious otherwise i am afraid for your friends and family living with such a delusional person XD
Dustin is a warrior man he’s done a lot for the sport of mma sucks to see him heartbroken like this they both deserved everything good coming their way hope he has a long vacation with his family and gets to have some peace and whenever he’s ready to get back on that horse we will all be there to support him through it all man! Much love Dustin !
Connor will beat Oliveira and take back the title. Poirier will then have a chance to win it back from Connor.
@@alyssa2675 how do you know he will beat Oliveira
Dustin is a sore loser.
@@michelofelia7735 how exactly? Could you repeat a word of him being a sore loser?
@@alyssa2675 ah hell yea definitely would like to watch this fight happening, not sure about what you’re saying but what I’m sure about is Connor tapping murmurmur…
The guy is almost crying his eyes out and the reporter wants to know how the body shots felt? This is why I respect all fighters for remaining professional even through the losses. Combat sports is a rollercoaster man.
Massive respect to Dustin for wanting to donate $25,000 to his Charles’s hometown just shows you how humble beginnigs will never change a man win,lose or draw . big heart🥇🙏
Shits a publicity stunt
@@aliabdelaziz905 😅

Poirier is an example of a great man. Always humble, always a class act, such a big heart. I'll forever be a fan of his.
I completely agree!
Your WIFE IS YOUR HUSBAND
Shoop!.. I agree 👍
Agree man. Dustin’s a great man, an inspiration and a real world champ!
But those ears...
Dustin is one of the most honest and humble fighters in the UFC. So much respect.
I love the respect from these reporters, not going over the line with the amount of questions and just keeping it short for him so he can go back to his family and team
I rooted for Oliveira and now my heart breaks for Dustin. What a guy.
Imagine celebrating the number two fight with Conor and being proud about that "win"... Fuck that guy glad he lost
Same here man, my heart breaks more watching his post-fight press conference.
Dustin is the peoples champion he doesn’t need a belt, everyone knows who Dustin Poirier is and everyone knows he’s THE DIAMOND💎

It’s funny how people buy into contract characters so easily.
He’s a diamond 💎💯
@@Underthreesuns if you don’t have it, or aspire to be the best person you can be, it makes sense you wouldn’t understand.
Amen. That’s why it’s heartbreaking to see him lose. This is a great man. Truly an inspiration. Thankfully, so is Charles.
Unlucky Dustin the 💎, although never would’ve expected him to quit , unlucky tho man feel bad
Every time that I feel like In my lowest times in life I like watching the post fight interviews of fighters that have lost bc it makes me learn to see what they say when they are at their lowest points in their career/life so thank you very much Dustin ❤️🙏🏽
Dustin don't be down bro. your a true champion at heart. you have a beautiful family and great work ethic, your hot sauce is next level! PEOPLE YOU HAVE TO TRY IT! keep your head up and like you said. HEALTHY.. its all that truly matters. Love you bro
This man has more character, integrity and respect about him than 99% of the fighters on the roster. While others are getting arrested, doing drugs with their own coaches, showboating, and running their mouths, he’s donating his earnings, raising a family, and striving to improve. We need more men like this as bad as more kids need a father like this. God bless the Poirier family.
1000%
Totally agree
He's a lame who cries after every fight lol
That’s cuz he was born and raised in Lousiana. Everyone down here has that family mentality. Great dude
Fake
Pure and RAW emotions. DP is a champ in my book. Huge respect to the Man and his journey. Learned so much from this man, in and outside of his fighting. Will always be a fan. And mad props to Charles too, what a wonderful champ to represent our sport. “When times are great, be grateful When times are tough, be graceful -Dustin Prorier, after his loss in UFC 242.
We love Dustin🔥💎🔥.
I agree with every word bro I couldn't have said it better.
Same here.
Champ only in your book 😅 send him your little belt 🤣
Is Dustin Poirier a Hall of Fame worthy? He never won an undisputed belt, I know is if you don't win title belt you don't belong in HOF.
It takes a brave and strong heart to answer all those media ppl. Especially when you're in a loss. Dustin is such class leading fighter.
Champ or not, this guy has so much love and respect for the sport! After putting on banger fights after the other all his amazing performances in the ring still get out shined by his remarkable personality. A true warrior in and out of the cage, an amazing ambassador for the sport and a role model through and through. Champ or not, that's a human second to no one!
Role model for many people out there. Strong human dealing admirable with all the adversity of the mental game of being a fighter and being famous. Thinking straight. A huge motivation for me in this moment of my life. Thanks Dustin💪🏻
spospspspsp
He thinks crooked as fuck like his ears, but if u find motivation in that some how more power to u bruh
Guys fake as fuck
LMAO role model who mocks his opponent after a gruesome injury. EL TAPMIANTE WILL NEVER TOUCH THAT BELT! FUCK HIM!
@@aclimate3862 point to me where his thinking is crooked?
Man I was so sad seeing him lose in the title fight again. He was so close too at some points. Charles is just a killer at the minute and his skill set is incredible. But I feel for this man, I hope nothing more than to see him become the lightweight champ. Respect to both guys!
ima certain they'll fight again. Sooner than they both might think.
if i beat DP i'd never give DP a rematch LOL. Who needs the aggravation?! (a DOUBLY souped-up DP)
@@josephkelley8641 I’m not too sure, it’s gonna be Justin then it’ll be the winner of Dariush vs Islam then maybe Dustin if he hasn’t gone up to WW? So earliest is like the end of next year.
I feel like it’s not his time yet! His time will come!
Stfu he lost 😂
Respect to a great competitor and a true gentleman. Being gracious in victory is easy. In defeat, not so much.
Love this guy. He represents my home state and Acadians well. Hate seeing him go through this. Keep your head up Dustin!
That was the most bittersweet fight ever. I'm Brazilian, so I'm happy for Charles, but I'm sad for Dustin, such a nice guy and also a warrior.
I didn’t want to see either of them lose
@@gxtmfa me neither...
@Ali Abdelaziz she had no fire, she looked slow, no cardio either. Mom time is calling. It happens.
@Ali Abdelaziz Yeah, true. But it doesn’t matter how tough someone is. If you get pieced up, then you get pieced up. With this sport, the tables can turn at any moment. They both did well.
@Ali Abdelaziz 5 on bantam and 2 on featherweight. I guess. Well... She didn't show up at all, so much so that it even looks thrown.
Great heart man. Tries hard to control his tears. True champ. Oliveira's faith is great too.
Charles, Dustin n Justin n Chandler good guys. Fighting men.
this man holding up so strong not to cry, respect to you el diamante! go for 170(welterweight) next dustin?
Maximum respect to DP! He lost the fight but he's not over yet. A great fighter and human being. DP, you're a Champion man! Greetings from Brasil.
I can't imagine what Dustin is feeling. This was one of those fights where it felt like everything was made for Dustin to win. Even though Charles was champ this felt like Dustin's night to cement his legacy. Unfortunately for Dustin, Charles had other plans.
Yup
kinda makes you wonder, if dustin took the fight with chandler he probably woulda beat him and been the champ
@@Mike-cj6ud Nope he would have face Oliveira , chandler was choose as an replacement of Dustin for fight Oliveira
damn, yah this was his night and didn't show up for it. Shame

This dude is such a good guy, sucks to see him so emotional at this chance he had. Hope he bounces back and gives it another shot.
@A Z He had no choice too, his grappling/ground game is no where charles level. His plan was perfect, charles just too good at what he does. He was only meant to defend charles jiu jitsu and get up but once he realised how good oliveria was (better than he fought), he was too scared too even defend and charles sensed that, so he went back to grappling straight away and got the finish. I knew dustin was gonna lose, when in the second rd when he hugged onto charles for dear life on the ground, looked like he was drowing in the middle of the ocean lool. Instead of trying to get up and go back to striking. Pretty obvious all charles had to do at that point was put him back in that position again.
He’s overrated

Absolutely nothing but respect and admiration for this man. Tough seeing him loose. He and Oliveira are true gents of the sport. Would of been hard to pick either one to win knowing that it meant the other would loose.
It's, 'Would *have', and *'lose', FYI.

Heart broken for this dude. One of the best personalities in UFC. Deserves to be Champ but hey its not his time. Glad he got paid big time against Conor though.
It’s never going to be his time at this point.
Yeah he's a great guy. He's climbed his way to the top and to lose again. Feel for him. Especially after that Round 1! I thought it was gonna be a easy win!
That was his entire problem he chased that cheddar while dobronx grew his belief and confidence. Dustin never gonna be undisputed sold his soul to the benjamin
@@Ronycoolman00 LOL sold his soul after 13 years in pro fighting 12 years in UFC.

Gets paid big time twice at the tail end.... sounds like someone selling their soul for benjamins.🤦♂️ Leave the keyboard alone. Warrior.
@@winnieblews in that instance he did facts hed have held the belt i believe, he beats chandler.
First round was completely insane. Oliveira went from absorbing 56 head strikes, yes you read that right, to having almost complete control of the second round.
I'm not sure he can take those shots from Gaethje...
@Matheus Silva Of course he is the champ and a great Champ I'm just trying to visualize that first round against Gaethje that's all
@@YOUENNNN Charles is a very very good fighter, one of the best in history, but if his next fight with Justin Gaethje goes the same way as this fight with Dustin Poirier, NO WAY IN HELL could he take 56 shots or more from Gaethje and not get knocked the fuck out. Justin has literal nukes in his hands, not to mention the wrestling and takedown defence Gaethje has, which would make it pretty hard for Charles to submit him. AND on top of all that, Justin has the deadliest kicks in UFC history, he would probably fuck Oliveira's legs up by the second round. In my opinion Gaethje is the perfect fighter to beat Charles Oliveira, if Gaethje fails to beat him, nobody will.
@@YOUENNNN Gaethje is also a much worse grappler than Poirier, so he is in danger too.
@@GrimspecteR. y’all already sleeping on olive AGAIN. Justin’s not getting the strap my G, stop lol
As much respect for anyone after a win or a loss. You the man Dustin. Get ‘em next time.
Porier such a good heart man lots of respect for Dustin...
"Continue to try to do good and be a bettter person everyday." Great words from Dustin.
Just what everyone should do. Nothing special.
Both these guys are inspirations. Top tier fighters and hearts of gold. Big fan of Olivera and glad he won, but gutted for Dustin too. First fight I genuinely cared for both fighters and didn’t want either to lose.
50/50 Gaethje vs Oliveira
@@BarcaBasto I mean, Justin ain't no slouch. He's relentless. But, we all know Oliveira is gonna crush him.

As a Dustin fan I’m absolutely heart broken but I’m happy for Charles and happy that Dustin will be donating to his favela. DP will be back I know it he’s only 32 and will be back to that title shot again with perseverance. Tbh I don’t think anyone else beats Olives not even Islam. I know Dustin can get back there. Congrats to Charles tho 💎🤝🇧🇷
This dude got me interested in watching UFC. I was rooting for him and it sucks that he lost but it’s awesome to see how much heart and respect this man has. Don’t be so down on yourself! Your a prime example of how a true fighter should act!
What a champion bloke. All respect to him. Need more fighters like him, humble, strong and respectful. Hope he gets another shot. Olivera also seems like a good dude also tbh.
Dustin is so calm and collected. I mean as an introvert myself I could almost feel him word by word , well obviously I did not lose a title fight but there's something so innate about Dustin Poirier . I love this dude, hope he becomes the world champ before he hangs his gloves
I was screaming rooting for Dustin in the 1st round. Breaks my heart he lost, but couldn't have lost to a nicer more deserving guy. Shoutout Charlie Olives.
"I was screaming rooting for Dustin in the 1st round" - we all were, we all were my friend
Nah the little social media boys are crying
This guy is a true warrior and I love him . His emotion and heart is amazing and he will go home and be hugged and loved by the ones that really matter . Merry Christmas Dustin

His woife’s is in Charles’ dms now
There is a great quote by Franicn Ngananou, “the most important thing is not to be the champion in the arena, but in your life.”
The belt will not come just because he's a good husband/father lmao
Being champion in life in part of the journey...Troll. So continuing to be the man he is outside of fighting CAN help him become champion. It's a frame of mind..and apparently you're not in it. Lmfao. And I don't recall saying that's all it takes. ✌🏾
This was bitter-sweet, I have followed Dustin for a long time and would have been happy for him to win, but also Charles is such a great guy too, and an absolute technician. Happy for Charles, sad for Dustin, that's the fight game.
Both are amazing fighters and truly humble sportsmen and gentlemen. It really sucked one had to lose. Dustin you did amazing but you will do better next time, and congratulations Oliveira
That's the best post fight interview I've seen in a while. He lost but still somewhat manages to be confident and embraces it so gracefully 👌🙂
It's because he is real, honesty and humility.
Dustin is just like Colby and Yoel Romero who cannot become champion just because a special guy who's better than them in their divisions exist!

@@IIllllIllIIllII He will never beat Usman.
Reminds me of Mark Martin the NASCAR driver...handles himself admirably in defeat and when things don't go as planned, and comports himself humbly when he wins.
You gotta love Dustin. He’s humble in victory and defeat! The fight game is the toughest game in sports!
Man, I look up to this guy. Although defeat stings, he's very humble about it and win, lose, or draw he was still going to donate 20,000 to Oliviera which is pretty cool. I don't know what he's gonna end up doing in the future, but I wish all the best for him. 💯
We have to ask ourselves what do I have attached to victory, to the belt? Emotionally, what's on the line, what do i THINK it says about me?! Conversely, if I lose, what's attached emotionally to that. What does a loss in a title bout mean to me, internally? What does it say to me and about me etc etc? It's all wrapped-up in Ego, that's how I got over some significant sports setbacks. I suctioned-out only the good. (Besides, in a lot of people's heads Dustin was ALREADY the belt holder, i.e. the World's best Lightweight.) ...Look at how far The Diamond has come since he started. In every possible aspect of his life. That's WAY, way more than the perceived importance of a belt. It actually DWARFS the Lightweight Belt.

This is a great match up. I had picked Charles my the narrowest of margins but knew Dustin could win if he was able to win on the feet. Charles ground game is just phenomenal and his striking is on point. He’s a tough fight for anyone including Khabib.
Such a tough loss taken like a man, with grace and total class. I think DP’s a rare hero in the fight game young guys can totally look up to. And I absolutely wouldn’t bet against this man comin back better & stronger to challenge for it again, hopefully in a more successful bid.

Congrats on charles winning, I’m sure everyone in Brazil is stoked. Very sad to see Dustin lose but Charles is the man, and happy to see him win.

Who asked if you were Brazilian though?
Amazing year Dustin had, he played his cards right and got 2 massive Conor fights and ends the year with a world title fight. Nothing but respect!
Incredible. Love this man always. I’d love to meet him. I couldn’t teach him a thing but I bet I could learn from talking to him. He’s already taught me a lot
Inspirational ! Only have more respect for him now. He had a perfect answer for every question
I hope Dustin knows he’s still a complete badass, it’s just he got in there with another savage, and one’s gotta lose. Props to both guys for a great fight!
Well said man. I hope to see him again fighting for the belt again. Charles has a pool of sharks to defend that belt and he's most likely defending it against Justin. Islam is up there too.

Justin as a brazilian guy and a big MMA all i can tell you is that .... BRO you are a champ without a belt my. Much respect for you man
Dustin has shown us how a real man takes a loss. He's a proper role model, someone young people can look up to and aspire to become. Dustin has shown us what maturity is all about and how a true warrior acts. Dustin you are still the man!!!
These guys are both so legit. If it would have been Charles up here giving this speech instead, no one would have been really surprised. I know this moment hurts for him, but there is just no shame for either of them losing to the other.
Congrats to Charles,dude is legit & this was a good card.EPIC fight card!
Nah Dustin was fav by few points so if Charles would have lost people who cared would have been here I would have for sure too Charles story is just as special as Dustin ❤️
I want to see Dustin as Champion. May be Justin defeats Charles, Then Justin defeats winner of Ismal & Bany, Mean while Dustin wins 2 fights and Justin n he fights for belt. Dustin wins belt.
@@investorsudhir9299 Justin won't be champ unfortunately
@@gamingclaiming9409 Yeah if Charles lose this, people would have called him accidental champ. Things happen for reason. Dustin will be Champ in coming 2 years.
“Go home healthy. They’re healthy.” Much respect to you Dustin.
Respect to Dustin's doctors
Dustin is a fucking class act man. Love that guy, his genuineness oozes through everything he does. Respect.
Much love Dustin, prayers 🙏 keep grinding you'll get it. Enjoy your time with your family 💪🏽💪🏽
There is a reason he has is called Diamond…gem of a person 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Pressure creates diamonds. He will get another title run an he will win it. I truly hope it's vs Islam an ge can dethrone khabibs claim at the crown
@@guilliman1990 Bro at this point Islam is almost as good as Khabib and almost as good as Khabib is still better than the whole division your ground game needs to be 100% and as much as I love Dustin his ground game just isn’t that good.
"I want to donate 20,000$ to your hometown" -Dustin to Oliveira, Respect..
@TESLA MANIAC he didn’t get ko’d he broke his collar bone
You'll always be a Champ in my eyes, Dustin. Keep your head up and keep grinding.
His passion is amazing. what a great fighter. He is already a Champ
Damn Dustin I’m a single dad and have been sober now for 7 years! The things you say and how you hold yourself are truly who and what I want to be!! Thank you for being a man that my son can look up to!! Hell for that matter I’m 41 and I look up to you!! Keep getting it brotha, much love and respect!!!
Coming over to sub my man! Keep at it!
I'm 34 and been sober since May. I hope I will be able to same as you. 🙏⚖️
This loss hit Dustin hard. With his increasing level of dedication, knowledge, and mental toughness, he will come back an even better fighter.
He blew it on his biggest night again.
Or he is done... that's what i felt of his last replies...
Oh did you talk to Dustin after the fight?
@@johnnysanchez4996 perhaps just wishful thinking. I should have said "if" Poirier returns, he would probably come back stronger.
@Jimmy Dingle you're welcome. Most comments are obvious. Subjective interpretations of them, not so much.
You can hear the little cry in his voice, poor guy. Awesome fighters.
We still love you Dustin! You are a great fighter and person! Class personified.
This makes me so sad. Dustin is so genuinely nice and respectful. He deserves so much and more. What an amazing heart that dude has. Your time is coming 💎💎
This man has the character of a true champion! Such a genuine guy. Massive congratulations to Charles.
One of the best. Amazing guy with a great heart. I sure hope one day it pays off for him and he gets a belt.
Dustin is by far the most genuine, and kind hearted fighter in the UFC. Agree inspiration to everyone that watches him and beyond with all these platforms nowadays. 🙌
Love Dustin so much and I come here and see that everyone else loves him too. So much support win or lose, a brilliant fighter and an incredible human being ;) Your future will always be bright DP
I must just say that mr poirier is a great guy. He is an example who has his heart at the right place. He is an excellent ambassador for the world of mixed martial arts. I wish more was like him instead of being someone else than they really are. God bless him and his family. Much love and respect from Jørn from Oslo Norway ❤
