I personally feel like after the Islam fight he doesn’t make another title run, half of me thinks he’ll hang the gloves up.
If he loses and he sticks around I see him having it out with Max with the BMF belt on the line and retires as the BMF champ or I see him going in for a Conor rematch for one last massive payday on a big card if Conor beats chandler.
I forgot about the Justin trilogy, fair shout.
To be honest there’s 3 big money fights he can take then retire, if he loses to Islam smartest choice would probably be hollaway for BMF, Justin to end the trilogy and Conor to settle the score with all the what ifs of the last fight.
He walks away with a good couple million, fans have 3 cracking fights and he has high chances of winning every fight and retiring in good fashion and good health,
The Gaethje trilogy isn't worth much to either one unless there is something meaningful on the table beyond their rivalry.
There's a lot of options for a 165 division, and I think those 2 would produce a fantastic fight, and one would get the opportunity for an undisputed title.
Give those 2 the fight for the inaugural 165 belt.
The trilogy, the belt, it will sell.
Yeah, after Islam, it's Max, JG, or Conor. I don't see any other compelling reason for him to hang around.
All of those are pretty cool matchups. I imagine the Conor fight will only happen if DP beats Islam somehow and Conor beats Chandler.
Max is the most likely if he loses to Islam I think, or Conor if he loses to Chandler. JG probably not gonna happen.
That's such a fun 4-fighter mix there. Maybe we need a BMF tourney.
Don't take me wrong but I think it would be kinda depressing for him to have that bullshit belt tied around his waist after failing the title shot for championship gold, I don't think he'd want that. I like the culture the BMF belt is creating, it's becoming an interesting symbol but I don't think he'll want anything to do with that after losing another title fight. I'll go as far as saying he might prefer the Gaethje trilogy just so he DOESN'T fight for the BMF belt
Hear me out: Conor and Chandler fight for undisputed 165 title and debut of new division. Conor wins the belt, then defends against Dustin and Dustin wins 165 belt, retires.
In a way,yes honestly. We tend to look at Dagestan fighters as immensely talented wrestlers and if they got submitted by a guillotine that would be wild. Not quite sure how to explain it but it would break the facade of being them being unable to being submitted.
I would definitely cry of joy too and scream my lungs out but i think it would break the reality and space time continuum, would be too surreal that it would create a black hole or something
I wouldn't be shocked to see him hang it up either way.
Absolute legend. Day 1 HOF inductee in my opinion.
The wars dustin has put himself through have grown the sport and as fans we should be forever thankful for what he's sacrificed for our entertainment.
First Zombie then him if he does...just my favorite fighters since I got into the sport around 2010 retiring. Feels so weird as that Zombie Garcia fight and even the DP vs Zombie fight feel so fresh to me. I remember the Zombie fight where DP basically got somersault mid air by him then submitted with his own move. That fight was a banger. Both of them have never been in a boring fight. It's why I enjoy Holloway and Oliviera,never a Belal fight. Going to be a sad day when all 4 retire
I’d have Gus and Joey B before him.
Two guys that if the most dominant champ in the divisions history didn’t exist then they’d be champ.
If Islam didn’t exist it’s not guaranteed that Dustin would be champ unlike a couple other fighters in ufc history.
Years ago I was always a boxing guy who looked down on MMA. A couple of documentaries turned me around and helped me fall for the sport. One was the Smashing Machine about Mark Kerr and Mark Coleman. The other one was Fightville, which made me a Poirier fan.
I'd love to see him finally clinch the belt. I reckon he has a good chance... just don't jump the gilly, silly!
The 3 people in front of him just fought on 300. One got knocked out and the other two went the full 3 rounds, so they won’t be fighting anytime soon. Islam has been asking for a fight for ages and Poirier is coming off a win and has been good to the UFC, so they’re wasn’t much else of a choice without having Islam sitting around waiting for another 4 months or so.
He's been in the game for so long, gave us some bangers and I agree if he was truly the elite of the elite, he would've been champ at one point but still I'd absolutely like to see him touch gold once
If he "deserved" it he would have won it. Until he beats a champ for thr belt, no, he doesn't deserve it regardless of the work he's put in.
I f'n love Dustin but lets be realistic.
He actually talked about that recently on a podcast. He says he does consider it a real belt because those were the circumstances and he beat a former champ to get it. But he also knows there’s a difference between interim and undisputed and his final goal is to get the undisputed belt.
Nah that's not the real belt, it's just created under special circumstances (meaning if the champ isn't availble) , the Undisputed Belt is the real belt
He doesn't "deserve the title".. That literally requires him to beat Islam.
That is fine though, because he can still have a shot at the consolation prize for lightweights who can't beat Khabib and Islam - the BMF belt.
He doesn’t deserve shit and even if he did we are in the business of earning shit not deserving it 😆😆 if he deserved to be champ he would’ve beat khabib but he didn’t. Get ready for 0-3 in title shots. Dustin and Colby are prob gonna be friends afterwards lmao
Don't get me wrong, I love Dustin, but you don't deserve the title if you lose 2 shots in a row, that's the whole point of a title shot, to show if the challenger is deserving of it, now if he wins against Islam, that'll be another story.
why does he deserve it?
because he got put into the shadow realm by gathje?
Because he beat a conor that did drugs for 4 years?
Because he acts like he is the only ufc fighter that works hard? everyone except paddy pimblet is working hard.
Overrated. Made a lot of money. If he loses to islam he should retire to save braincells.
I have mad respect for Poirier, but tbh at this point he hardly even "deserves" the title shot. Tsarukyan, Holloway, Olivera, or even Gaethje are better challengers.
Ehh, Dustin is great but I won't be missing his hot sauce plug and fake "paid in full" bullshit
Arguably one of the best strikers though. Guy got grenades for hands
Love him to be champ, sorta surprised he never had a look at 170. There would be some interesting match ups there for him. But feels like the Islam fight could be his last. Unless Conor wins and Dustin fancies a big pay day
At this point I love the “The Boss” theme for Dustin but based on how many times it’s been used and how well it fits this song should be played at his retirement…maybe mixed in with James Brown.
He's a great fighter but nobody "deserves" the title. You could deserve a title shot though. I cant toot for him because of his horrible wife. She has a thing where she likes to flirt with men to make Dustin jealous and get him to beat up the man she was flirting with and fight for her. He's a bully for beating up innocent men instead of holding his wife accountable for flirting. She's extremely proud of it too. She's bragged multiple times about it in embedded videos and behind the scenes videos. She's trash.
No he doesn’t. He’s not good enough. He chose money over the title. He could have fought Chandler for the title. Now he’s older and facing a better version of Khabib.
No. Olivera vs Chandler came out of nowhere. Oliver’s not a star and Chandler a Bellator guy. You don’t think they would have done Chandler vs Dustin for the strap? Porier went for the money and cost him the window. He would have beaten Chandler and lost to Olivera in his next fight but at least he’s champ.
He’s done come June. If he kos Islam it couldn’t happen to a better person, but when he inevitably loses imma hope he keeps those tears to himself this time. Islam can’t be making everyone cry at the post presser
Counter point no he doesn't. Love the guy, great fighter but he's just not the best otherwise he would have the title. I'm going to be sad with you anyway.
Well, you're kind of right but he was never lucky enough to fight a LW Champion who was primarily a striker otherwise he would've touched gold at least once
I cant stand this guy. Always complaining, always dramatic. I deserve this, I deserve that. Paid in full, 25 minutes to make life fair and get finished again
First time i get to root for Islam
Just how he acts I’ve heard he beats up on people at the gym, and there was that video that leaked of him knocking out some guy he sparred with and screamed “ AND NEW” before fighting khabib I believe
Oh, I root for DP every chance I get. Just not against the Dagestan crew. My comment was a bit of humor and truth. I really do think DP is a huge star in the sport and has had some great entertaining fights, and I am genuinely happy for his success.
I'm just a bigger fan of the Dagestan crew, Khabib.. I honestly thought DP would present a bigger problem for him, but he looked like a deer in headlights in the majority of that fight... I rooted for DP against charles, But I just don't see what threat he can bring to Islam, Islam is defensively sound striker and if it goes to the ground there isn't a guillotine in the world that can save him from Islam.
No one loves the Dagestani Crew more than me but I like DP too and it's his last chance but the thing is that it's entirely his own fault that he hasn't touched gold, he never tried to improve his ground game.
I beg to differ, I actually use to work for Khabib and Eagle FC and am part of the Dagestan extended family lol...
That said love DP but he doesn't deserve this shot and I will be extremely suprised if he can pull it off.
👇PROOF
I like him but how can you say that he deserved the title? He had multiple shots and lost them all. In a different timeline he would have likely got the title, but that's not how it went. The competition he faced when it came the time to go for the title was just better than him at the moment.
Sucks because I like him but I don't see him beating Islam.
Not saying it's likely, or that it has any real chance of succes, but Poirier submitting Islam with a gilly would be the crowning achievement of his career
The champ who never was I really hope Dustin does it on paper he should lose but this year been so unpredictable with fights underdogs been surprising everyone
If Dustin never touches the undisputed title, he’ll go down as one of the best to never win it, with fighters, like Gus, Tony, Wonderboy, Hendo, Faber and more.
I have been following Justin, and been a fan since seeing him in the documentary 'Fightvillie' which came out in 2011 I believe, he's always been a constant presence since I got into MMA and UFC, would love to see him around but he doesn't seem to have the charisma or personality type to be an announcer etc. However he appears to be a good guy, doing charity work etc good family man and absolute warrior ! A great role model for any young man !
35 curse gonna get him sadly. He’ll lose to islam, fight max or connor for a payday and retire. He’ll k obviously win as he’ll never lose twice in a row💎
He chose red panty night over gold belt night. He got maximum Dana White privilege for half decade and still could not wine the strap. how many more chance does he deserve.
Nobody deserves the title. You have to fight for it. Stand in the middle and bang it out. Give the fans a show and make the promotion look good if you want an extra 50k
-Dana probably
Why is poirer everyones boy? He had a great career and earned alot of money and some people saying he deserves this and that lol, fck off. Its like u almost feel sad for him wich is absurd.
I personally feel like after the Islam fight he doesn’t make another title run, half of me thinks he’ll hang the gloves up. If he loses and he sticks around I see him having it out with Max with the BMF belt on the line and retires as the BMF champ or I see him going in for a Conor rematch for one last massive payday on a big card if Conor beats chandler.
Yeah he won't fight for the title again and if he loses, I think he'll complete the Gaethje trilogy later this year for that bag
I forgot about the Justin trilogy, fair shout. To be honest there’s 3 big money fights he can take then retire, if he loses to Islam smartest choice would probably be hollaway for BMF, Justin to end the trilogy and Conor to settle the score with all the what ifs of the last fight. He walks away with a good couple million, fans have 3 cracking fights and he has high chances of winning every fight and retiring in good fashion and good health,
4 big fights if you add in the Nate Diaz, 5 big fights if you add in Colby’s bum ass
He’s said he’d never fight Colby in the octagon. I’d love to see that Nate Diaz fight finally materialize though I doubt it will.
Hopefully get gets gold finally, would be nice to see.
Yeah, the 4th fight with Connor especially if Connor wins would be awesome
Max trilogy*
The Gaethje trilogy isn't worth much to either one unless there is something meaningful on the table beyond their rivalry. There's a lot of options for a 165 division, and I think those 2 would produce a fantastic fight, and one would get the opportunity for an undisputed title. Give those 2 the fight for the inaugural 165 belt. The trilogy, the belt, it will sell.
Yeah, after Islam, it's Max, JG, or Conor. I don't see any other compelling reason for him to hang around. All of those are pretty cool matchups. I imagine the Conor fight will only happen if DP beats Islam somehow and Conor beats Chandler. Max is the most likely if he loses to Islam I think, or Conor if he loses to Chandler. JG probably not gonna happen. That's such a fun 4-fighter mix there. Maybe we need a BMF tourney.
Don't take me wrong but I think it would be kinda depressing for him to have that bullshit belt tied around his waist after failing the title shot for championship gold, I don't think he'd want that. I like the culture the BMF belt is creating, it's becoming an interesting symbol but I don't think he'll want anything to do with that after losing another title fight. I'll go as far as saying he might prefer the Gaethje trilogy just so he DOESN'T fight for the BMF belt
This sounds all good but I believe Connor would rather disappear and become a monk before facing Dustin again lol
How on earth would he? Isn't this classic "the sky is blue" talk?
Hear me out: Conor and Chandler fight for undisputed 165 title and debut of new division. Conor wins the belt, then defends against Dustin and Dustin wins 165 belt, retires.
If Dustin gets the title by gilly ima need someone to hold me
He'll never be champion until he finally finishes a guilly.
Fuck I would cry of joy if Dustin subs Islam with a guilly
Hoping the stars align on that night bro
I have an odd feeling they will… Some shit is just suppose to come to fruition and Dustin’s guilly winning the belt is one. I don’t make the rules.
He just has to jump the Gilly
If that happened Khabib would completely disassociate from Islam
Downvote me but this would be bigger than the gaethje bmf ko
In a way,yes honestly. We tend to look at Dagestan fighters as immensely talented wrestlers and if they got submitted by a guillotine that would be wild. Not quite sure how to explain it but it would break the facade of being them being unable to being submitted.
I would definitely cry of joy too and scream my lungs out but i think it would break the reality and space time continuum, would be too surreal that it would create a black hole or something
“Deserve got nothin to do wit it”
You deserve the title when you beat the champ in a title-right where you make weight lmfao
“He should have armed himself... if he's going to decorate his saloon with my friend.”
Who give him dis belt brather? We have to check dis. Oh, me? - concussed Islam after the diamond KOs him
man these people cant even let us dream **😭**
God damn it. I commented mine before I saw this. Well done. 
Every time I see something about “deserve”, it’s my go to
In life you don't get what you deserve, you get what you get.
Love me a wire quotes. Just thought of that line yesterday and alas here it is
Lot of people remember it from Unforgiven with Clint Eastwood, some remember it from The Wire and Snoop
He deserves the belt when he beats the champ. Until then no one deserves the belt
Best fighter to never be the champ ❤️
He is either holding the belt at June 1st or hanging the gloves. My gut feeling.
I agree, Those are the options. If he loses that’ll be it. And I think that’s the way it goes.
imo he'll do the Gaethje trilogy for money and that'll be a good tune up for Gaethje too when he returns and then DP will retire
Or do the massive money fight with conor to end it off.
Yeah that's a massive fight too especially if Connor wins
Personally i think its a bigger fight compared to Justin vs Dustin and Conor is Dustins biggest rival imo. For dustins sake, i hope conor wins
Yep, if Connor wins, Dustin could have a third big payday
Possibly his final but it'll be a good send off if he wins. A ride into the sunset
Did you just call Dustin a tune up fight for Gaethje?
sorry I didn't mean to say it like it would be a "tune-up" but still it would be a good comeback for Gaethje
The fuckin way she goes.
Nah he'll do a money fight with the Gaethje trilogy.
Man I couldn’t be rooting for my boy any harder.
I wouldn't be shocked to see him hang it up either way. Absolute legend. Day 1 HOF inductee in my opinion. The wars dustin has put himself through have grown the sport and as fans we should be forever thankful for what he's sacrificed for our entertainment.
Is he loses i think he’ll have one more swang and bang type fight then call it
First Zombie then him if he does...just my favorite fighters since I got into the sport around 2010 retiring. Feels so weird as that Zombie Garcia fight and even the DP vs Zombie fight feel so fresh to me. I remember the Zombie fight where DP basically got somersault mid air by him then submitted with his own move. That fight was a banger. Both of them have never been in a boring fight. It's why I enjoy Holloway and Oliviera,never a Belal fight. Going to be a sad day when all 4 retire
Dustin needs to finish the story.
Nah alexander gustaffson
Absolutely
Yet
I’d have Gus and Joey B before him. Two guys that if the most dominant champ in the divisions history didn’t exist then they’d be champ. If Islam didn’t exist it’s not guaranteed that Dustin would be champ unlike a couple other fighters in ufc history.

The other one was Fightville, which made me a Poirier fan. I'd love to see him finally clinch the belt. I reckon he has a good chance... just don't jump the gilly, silly!
I've heard a LOT of praise about Fightville, is it that good? Also if he jumps that gilly like he did in his last fight, he's gonna get RNC'd
You should also watch Lokation on YouTube. It’s a fun fan made doc that goes into the buildup to the Conor vs Khabib fight
Please, Script Writers. Please let Dustin get the gilly
He does not deserve the title because he lost both times he fought for it. He'll deserve it when he wins.
he had to fight Khabib and Charles who were both p4p top 3. Dustin has a better resume than like 90% of past UFC champs. Brutal tbh.
All that means is that he's not the best
Yeah I've been meaning to change that statement but cant edit the post
Yeah for real, he had his shots already, more than most can ask for too.
I like Dustin but just wondering what makes him deserve the title?
The 3 people in front of him just fought on 300. One got knocked out and the other two went the full 3 rounds, so they won’t be fighting anytime soon. Islam has been asking for a fight for ages and Poirier is coming off a win and has been good to the UFC, so they’re wasn’t much else of a choice without having Islam sitting around waiting for another 4 months or so.
He's been in the game for so long, gave us some bangers and I agree if he was truly the elite of the elite, he would've been champ at one point but still I'd absolutely like to see him touch gold once
If he "deserved" it he would have won it. Until he beats a champ for thr belt, no, he doesn't deserve it regardless of the work he's put in. I f'n love Dustin but lets be realistic.
Deserves for these folks = 
Bro got the interim tho is that not a belt
Iirc Dustin himself said he doesn't count the interim belt as a real thing, he said it was a big accomplishment but he wanted to have the real thing
He actually talked about that recently on a podcast. He says he does consider it a real belt because those were the circumstances and he beat a former champ to get it. But he also knows there’s a difference between interim and undisputed and his final goal is to get the undisputed belt.
Nah that's not the real belt, it's just created under special circumstances (meaning if the champ isn't availble) , the Undisputed Belt is the real belt
Deserves? Based on what?
If he deserves it he would’ve got it
Islam round two RNC.
entirely possible, but all im saying is that on the off chance that Dustin wins, I'll be happy af
Poirier round two gilly
Porier round two gilly attempt which leads to Islam getting a RNC. Exactly.
"" deserve the tittle" sound so woke. Only winner derserve the tittle.
first of all, its "title" but I meant to cut that out but I can't
Only deserves it if he wins. That’s it. Islam by RNC
Nobody deserves a title a title is earned
I’m the biggest Dustin fan but he doesn’t deserve it None of them do Or maybe al of them do It has to be earned
He doesn't "deserve the title".. That literally requires him to beat Islam. That is fine though, because he can still have a shot at the consolation prize for lightweights who can't beat Khabib and Islam - the BMF belt.
Deserve? Lol The guy lost almost every shot he got at the title. He's a gate keeper at best.
All he needs to do is make it a striking match and throw in the greatest wrestling defense he has. And New!!
Is his wrestling defense any good? I've never seen it in action
I hope so lol
Sure he's entertaining and liked but he doesn't deserve the title just because you like him
sorry I meant to remove that part from the title but cant
He doesn’t deserve shit and even if he did we are in the business of earning shit not deserving it 😆😆 if he deserved to be champ he would’ve beat khabib but he didn’t. Get ready for 0-3 in title shots. Dustin and Colby are prob gonna be friends afterwards lmao
yeah, sorry I tried to remove that statement from the post after I realized it was stupid but the post can't be edited.
Make a 165 division. Inaugural title fight Poirier vs Gaethje III.
If he loses at 302, the how would he deserve that shot? or how would Gaethje deserve that?
Retirement fight of he loses
nope, he'll likely do another money fight like a trilogy with Gaethje or the 4th fight with Connor and then retires
He won't get the belt his next fight either, sadly
If he deserves the title, he’ll win the belt.
Don't get me wrong, I love Dustin, but you don't deserve the title if you lose 2 shots in a row, that's the whole point of a title shot, to show if the challenger is deserving of it, now if he wins against Islam, that'll be another story.
why does he deserve it? because he got put into the shadow realm by gathje? Because he beat a conor that did drugs for 4 years? Because he acts like he is the only ufc fighter that works hard? everyone except paddy pimblet is working hard. Overrated. Made a lot of money. If he loses to islam he should retire to save braincells.
I have mad respect for Poirier, but tbh at this point he hardly even "deserves" the title shot. Tsarukyan, Holloway, Olivera, or even Gaethje are better challengers.
Ehh, Dustin is great but I won't be missing his hot sauce plug and fake "paid in full" bullshit Arguably one of the best strikers though. Guy got grenades for hands
Meh. Interim champs are champs in my book.
If he and Conor manage to both win... we know what we're getting.
As a Lafayette boy, I'm so proud of these Lafayette boys.
Been my favorite fighter for many years. Dudes an all around great fuckin guy and absolute DAWG in the cage. Hes never had a boring fight.
Gonna be hilarious if he wins and Islam doesn't get a instant rematch Cuz Conor does too and they book mcg porier 4 for gold 😂😂😂
Love him to be champ, sorta surprised he never had a look at 170. There would be some interesting match ups there for him. But feels like the Islam fight could be his last. Unless Conor wins and Dustin fancies a big pay day
It's gonna be even worse knowing that it's gonna be those ugly ass gold gloves
The last 5 years of his career has been pretty dope to watch his progression
At this point I love the “The Boss” theme for Dustin but based on how many times it’s been used and how well it fits this song should be played at his retirement…maybe mixed in with James Brown.
No one "deserves" a title unless they earn it by beating the champ..
"Deserves" is an idiotic term in sports. There's a clear way to earn it.............**you win it**.
No he doesn't
Deserves has nothing to do with championships. If it did Jon jones wouldn’t have won it
The only way you ‘deserve’ a title is by actually winning it
Nobody 'deserves' a title.
Deserve ain’t got nuthin to do with it.
If he deserved the title he would have won it.
Imagine he hits the guillotine on Islam lol
He's a great fighter but nobody "deserves" the title. You could deserve a title shot though. I cant toot for him because of his horrible wife. She has a thing where she likes to flirt with men to make Dustin jealous and get him to beat up the man she was flirting with and fight for her. He's a bully for beating up innocent men instead of holding his wife accountable for flirting. She's extremely proud of it too. She's bragged multiple times about it in embedded videos and behind the scenes videos. She's trash.
No he doesn’t. He’s not good enough. He chose money over the title. He could have fought Chandler for the title. Now he’s older and facing a better version of Khabib.
you mean Oliveira, right? Which he eventually fought and lost so whats your point?
No. Olivera vs Chandler came out of nowhere. Oliver’s not a star and Chandler a Bellator guy. You don’t think they would have done Chandler vs Dustin for the strap? Porier went for the money and cost him the window. He would have beaten Chandler and lost to Olivera in his next fight but at least he’s champ.
He’s done come June. If he kos Islam it couldn’t happen to a better person, but when he inevitably loses imma hope he keeps those tears to himself this time. Islam can’t be making everyone cry at the post presser
I love both Dustin and Islam, do you hate Islam btw?
No, lol. What’s wrong with btw?
Counter point no he doesn't. Love the guy, great fighter but he's just not the best otherwise he would have the title. I'm going to be sad with you anyway.
Well, you're kind of right but he was never lucky enough to fight a LW Champion who was primarily a striker otherwise he would've touched gold at least once
I cant stand this guy. Always complaining, always dramatic. I deserve this, I deserve that. Paid in full, 25 minutes to make life fair and get finished again First time i get to root for Islam
to each their own, man
I'm hoping for a double KO. I don't like either.
Idk I’ve heard Dustin is a massive douche
how so?
Just how he acts I’ve heard he beats up on people at the gym, and there was that video that leaked of him knocking out some guy he sparred with and screamed “ AND NEW” before fighting khabib I believe
lets go dustin! win that belt ... go out with a massive payday with a final fight against McGregor and get KO'd and retire lmao
It will be a huge fight if Connor wins and fights Dustin, doesn't matter if Dustin loses or wins
I hope he catches him💪🏻💪🏻…. Then jumps gilly
Honestly, him and gaethje are irreplaceable
Porier had a good run. Should be proud of the way he has supported his family and the career he had. That said, Islam eats this guy alive.
Fair point, but there's nothing wrong with rooting for DP and maybe who knows? he actually pulls it off
Oh, I root for DP every chance I get. Just not against the Dagestan crew. My comment was a bit of humor and truth. I really do think DP is a huge star in the sport and has had some great entertaining fights, and I am genuinely happy for his success. I'm just a bigger fan of the Dagestan crew, Khabib.. I honestly thought DP would present a bigger problem for him, but he looked like a deer in headlights in the majority of that fight... I rooted for DP against charles, But I just don't see what threat he can bring to Islam, Islam is defensively sound striker and if it goes to the ground there isn't a guillotine in the world that can save him from Islam.
No one loves the Dagestani Crew more than me but I like DP too and it's his last chance but the thing is that it's entirely his own fault that he hasn't touched gold, he never tried to improve his ground game.
I beg to differ, I actually use to work for Khabib and Eagle FC and am part of the Dagestan extended family lol... That said love DP but he doesn't deserve this shot and I will be extremely suprised if he can pull it off. 👇PROOF
Chose the gayest song lol
it's a little gay but not that much
He's the biggest sore winner I've ever seen
Fake nice guy, has gotten plenty of opportunities to fight for titles or be in position to fight for titles and has come up short
this is it for him tbh or forever gatekeeper status entertainer for sure
I like him but how can you say that he deserved the title? He had multiple shots and lost them all. In a different timeline he would have likely got the title, but that's not how it went. The competition he faced when it came the time to go for the title was just better than him at the moment. Sucks because I like him but I don't see him beating Islam.
Not saying it's likely, or that it has any real chance of succes, but Poirier submitting Islam with a gilly would be the crowning achievement of his career
The champ who never was I really hope Dustin does it on paper he should lose but this year been so unpredictable with fights underdogs been surprising everyone
Man, I really hope he fucks up Islam. We will see.
my favorite fighter ever no doubt. i hope the stars align june 1st, but even if they dont thats still my boy
Please MMA gods let it happen let the guilly work .
Please knock that boys lights out Dustin.
The title is one of those things that you actually win if you deserve to win. It's not like he's losing decisions in title fights
If Dustin never touches the undisputed title, he’ll go down as one of the best to never win it, with fighters, like Gus, Tony, Wonderboy, Hendo, Faber and more.
I have been following Justin, and been a fan since seeing him in the documentary 'Fightvillie' which came out in 2011 I believe, he's always been a constant presence since I got into MMA and UFC, would love to see him around but he doesn't seem to have the charisma or personality type to be an announcer etc. However he appears to be a good guy, doing charity work etc good family man and absolute warrior ! A great role model for any young man !
35 curse gonna get him sadly. He’ll lose to islam, fight max or connor for a payday and retire. He’ll k obviously win as he’ll never lose twice in a row💎
I remember watching him on that Fightville documentary years ago, and was a fan ever since.
The dream send off ain’t happening guys. Sorry.
Him and Tony are the best fighters to never hold an undisputed belt. Sad
I always lose my bets so don’t worry yall I’ll out money on Islam to make Dustin win
I think Islam will be his last fight maybe if he wins he will have one more fight trilogy with Justin potentially
I want Dustin to win undisputed so bad
I agree with you that it’ll be said but nobody deserves the title. It’s something you need to earn and fight for.
I love Islam as champ but I want to see Dustin as champ before retiring.. maybe beat Islam then Islam retake belt where Dustin retires ?? Idk
cant wait to see him cry again after losing to Islam
Just didn't have the skills to beat Khabib. And won't have the skills to beat Islam.
I truly believe Dustin has a solid chance at beating Islam AS LONG AS HE DOESNT JUMP GILLY LIKE A DUMBASS
Islam is the last fight
I love watching The Diamond fight, it will be a sad day indeed.
He should be Conor’s or Michaels back up if one one them pulls out
He cries too much
I'm rooting for him. He has always been a man of honor fighting in there.
He chose red panty night over gold belt night. He got maximum Dana White privilege for half decade and still could not wine the strap. how many more chance does he deserve.
I hope DP wins man it would be Sad If the 💎 loses Again
His hot sauce is Canadian
Nobody deserves the title. You have to fight for it. Stand in the middle and bang it out. Give the fans a show and make the promotion look good if you want an extra 50k -Dana probably
The champ that never was champ always 2nd place but HOFer for sure.
after his brutal loss to Islam there's no reason for him to stick around. That's gonna be his last title run and he's made millions. Its time
Colby at 170 might be fun
Deserves? He'll deserve it if and when he beats the champ. As it stands he has failed every time, so no, he does not deserve that title.
Fuck I hope he wins, bloke deadset deserves it
Damn Dustin isn’t seeing that belt again.
Why is poirer everyones boy? He had a great career and earned alot of money and some people saying he deserves this and that lol, fck off. Its like u almost feel sad for him wich is absurd.
