As a Dustin fan, this is the absolute best interview Ive ever seen of him. Extremely raw, honest, & open. I could have watched another hour of this back n forth conversation. Good job Ariel on a great interview. Dustin, on the 1% chance you see this, if it means anything Ariel is 100% right. In no way did you need the BMF belt or this win to validate your career or cement your legacy. That is already done my dude. Anything you accomplish now or in the future is just icing on the cake.

Such a raw in depth look into the mind of an elite fighter dealing with a crushing loss. Dustin's a warrior man and a stand up guy.

All the respect to Dustin. His outlook and perspective after suffering such a vicous KO is just crazy. The mental fortitude this man has. Also absolutely agree with him. Veterans fighting the up and coming young guys is what the UFC does to give them a leg up and sunset the vet. Dustin isn't there yet and he doesn't need to put himself there. Dude is still one of the very best fighters in the world and a legend of the sport.

6:44 "Yeah it hurts cause i know im better than him, and even he[Justin] knows that." Thats not mental fortitude, sounds like a passive aggressive sore loser. Getting KO'd by someone who is "not better than you" logically is a worse look than being KO'd by someone who is in fact at the same level of competition as you.

Man i love Poirier, the guy is a legend. Hope he recovers well and we get another couple fun fights for him.

Wow, what a great interview! Ariel, you have a way with words and authentic in connecting and relating with Dustin. I didn’t plan to watch the entire interview but Dustin’s raw emotions and Ariel’s empathy got me hooked. Dustin is a an honorable warrior. He’s honest with being hurt from the loss. He holds no animosity but respect and admiration to Justin’s beautiful setup that ultimately defeated him. It’s heartbreaking to see how devastated Dustin from this loss, but refreshing to see how genuine and open Dustin is. Kudos to both Ariel & Dustin!

Dustin is such a genuine human being. With every fight and every interview i just become a bigger fan of his. He is always winning at being an inspiring individual. It's fighters like him that make me so proud to be part of the MMA community.

Fortunately for gaethje Dustin doesn’t really throw head kicks and fair play, even though Dustin did have half his guard up the head kick still wrapped around the guard and around the head and put a super durable great 5 round fighter away.

Poirier is spot on people that come from nothing and end up the man he is. He’s already won in life nothing can take that away.

Dustin is an incredible fighter and a humble guy. He’s certainly won in life which is more important in my opinion. I hope he bounces back from this loss and makes one incredible push for the title soon.

Great questions asked by ariel and dustin's response was so real. Such an amazing interview

You can see how much he wanted this, and how concious of his mistake he is- it's truly admirable. I do believe that he can beat Justin again, but man it hurts seeing him like this- even though he's content and he's happy/

These head kick KO's are so shocking. Love Dustin

The "danger to myself" talk gave me the chills. Last time I heard that was one of the last interviews of Chester Bennington and I know the feeling.

Dustin Poirier is such a class act! How many guys would go on Ariel's show right after such a loss? This guy is an absolute winner in every way. I remember tweeting to him years ago when had that leg injury...told him his day would come and has he ever come a long way since then! He should be tremendously proud of himself and not just because of his accomplishments professionally but just as a decent family man and how he handles himself as a man. He's the definition of a mensch. Cheers from Canada!!!

I hate that he doesn't believe Gaethje was the better fighter. You can visibly see Gaethje setting up Poirier for the head kick. Gaethje was overlooked before and is clearly still being overlooked. Post fight, there's been nothing but Poirier "damage control" interviews...

It was hard watching one of my favorite fighters lose; however, he’s still one of the GOATS of the sports & a true class act.

25:32 Ariel is such a weasel. He always pulls this type of thing. Literally asking a question himself that HE wants to know the answer to, but placing the blame on someone else or quoting someone else and acting like it's not on him because he's just repeating it. It's a slimy move and if he genuinely didn't like it, he wouldn't repeat it. He did the same thing last week and countless other times too.

IMO Dustin is still a better fighter than Gaethje but MMA is such a great sport because anything can happen, there is no room for mistakes and anyone can win in any given night.

It was a lucky shot, also these things tend to happen when people are over-confident. Justin set him up good though, he baited him into thinking an overhand was coming, then came the kick. The issue is these guys are counter the counter type of fighters. They build their gameplan around countering your counter. Justin has mentioned this before as well about Dustin. So he pulled a Dustin playbook(added it to his game). Dustin is famous for adding the things he lost to, to his game, and even winning with it.

@@jericho-tube This is the most silly comment ive ever seen in my life. If theres anyone winning 9/10 times its poirier.

How could you not love this guy?? He must know he'll always be one of the GOATS in the UFC!! That 291 fight didn't change anything!! He'll get another opportunity in the near future - one that challenges him in the way he deserves!! A trilogy? They'll figure it out. He deserves another opportunity for the title. You can see it in his face.

💎 both guys were super humble before and after

Dude Dustin is always gonna be my fave fighter. Just dig the guy so much. Fighting is wild, but dude your healthy and your family is healthy. You made cake on the fight. Fighting can be 50/50 at the highest levels. A lot to be happy and thankful for. Your character says it all. Stand up guy and will always be a champ!

The mutual respect that Ariel and the fighters have and give to each other during these interviews is why he is the best in the business.

Unless your jamahal hill then ariel Is a major hater

The Diamond is such a class act. Much love from Sweden and Chile brother 🙌

Brilliant interview .

Fighting is just that. Sometimes you get caught ! Dustin is a class act. Both dudes are absolute warriors.

Dustin is a throwback fighter. The loss will hurt but he has secured his future financially and he never has to fight again. A beautiful thing to see in this sport.

I'd like to see him beat up Conor again 😂

Awesome sportsmanship! I was already a fan, but even more so now. I'm also a Justin fan also, so it kinda felt like my best friends were fighting each other. You hate to see it come to that, but you know they are both game af so it'll be prime entertainment. Lol. I appreciate them both for the wars they've both gave us over the years.

DP is such a great human. ..bless him and his humility and honesty and ENTERTAINMENT...HALL OF FAME BABY. LETS GO

Without loss and pain, we cant experience winning and joy. Life is yin and yang. Someone who wins always, does not experience the same happiness as someone who loses, then wins. Embrace the pain, dont enjoy it, as the next win will be sweet

I held my breath, and celebrations, until I saw him peel himself off the canvas. Love DP and JG, didn't want to see either seriously hurt. Legends and Titans walk among us.

Wow, Dustin is such an awesome person! Been a fan of his from when I first saw him in the UFC. Hurts hearing someone that has been as successful as he has talk like this but yeah this guy wears his heart on his sleeve.

Justin was ahead in every way. He was not behind and you could tell this was gonna end with Justin still standing and Dustin sleeping. Mid 1st I knew this was gonna be a gathje highlight.

I 100% agree. I hate how people keep praising him for being the better fighter and how well he’s taking the loss. He’s definitely a sore loser in my opinion

Hes not the better fighter at this point. Gaethje is on another level
