I'll tell this story every chance I get. In the run-up, (just over a month out ) to the Khabib fight, Diamond,(along with Mike Brown and Jolie) flew from Florida to Detroit, then drove from Detroit to Lakeshore, Ontario,(just outside Windsor, Ontario). Why? To put on a training session, autographs and photos to help raise money for a charity named after a 4 year old boy who died from brain cancer. That's who DP is. Stand up, classy dude all the way.

Met Dustin twice in New York the other week during the Pereira Jiri card, the second time we met he was grateful I came back and acknowledged me and treated me like a friend. My favourite fighter since day dot. I made sure he knew I’ll root for him until he retires.

Dustin is one of the real ones. When Ariel ask him "Were you ever offered that fight on 10 days notice?" Poirier simply says "ya." He doesn't say he accepted the fight. He ASSUMES you know he accepted it. Ariel had to ask "well, did you accept it?" for him to say "of course, I'm Dustin Poirier." Just a dude who lives for this game. He's one of the most genuine dudes in the sport.

Really nice what Dustin and the community did for these families.

Dustin is a good dude.I see a lot of people say he might not be,but I feel they just see the fighter side of him.I seen him do an interview for a dude,when no one else really was.I wish him the best,and a happy thanksgiving for him and his family….

Great interviews with ufc legends. There is nothing better to watch before the year ends.

This guy is so down to earth great fighter even better human being

he says he doesnt wanna fight contenders but thats literally his only options unless they blessed him with a charles rematch, already fought gaethje, already fought chandler, then theres no other "big" names in the division, he literally has to fight somebody like Benoit or whoever wins Arman/Beneil, not big names but hes literally already fought every big name in the division, or maybe if conor comes back theres that but

Dustin is a great fighter business man and all around likable person.

It is almost like Poirier hasn't had multiple title shots.

The little moustache looks really dope. It fits his French name aswell. He should’ve kept it 😁

thinking about possible ufc 300 fights, i would love to have poirier/holloway 3 at 155. max is in a weird space at 145 and dustin is in a weird space at 155. that's a big name for both guys and should satisfy them both, i think.

Dear ufc, get that man a fight at 300. If there is a fighter to have on there that will make it exciting, you know that's DP! Let's goooo

Class Act

That’s the true BMF right there, I don’t care what anyone says, that’s the real BMF of the UFC

Poirer ca Gaethje 3 for UFC 300! 🔥

Ariel must have taken a lot of mushrooms or something like that. Was weird him asking questions he already should have known the answers to considering that Dustin had been asked these questions a long time ago by Ariel. Credit to Dustin for just ignoring that Ariel had asked most of these questions a long time ago. Was surprised Ariel didn't ask about the Reebok deal before the Venum deal, if Dustin was married, the Max and Conor fight, why he wanted to compete in the UFC, the Masvidal and Colby beef and other questions he already knew the answers to...

Huge DP fan,but he need to fight these up and coming guys to get another shot at the title.Maybe the winner of Dariush vs Tsarukyan.

The man!

We need this guy fighting soon 😃

Even though I know there are opponents that make 1000x more sense, I’d like to see him vs Jim Miller at 300.

‏‪20:38‬‏ so what do u call this dressing up ?? Anybody knows?

Shuab mentioned a GSP come back. I think a GSP vs Dustin fight would be cool. Make Justin vs Olivera 2 for number one contender on the same night. Then you have the next 2 fights for Islam lined up.

Porier vs the winner of Dariush Tsarukyan makes sense but that probably won’t “excite” him

Interesting that Dustin thinks he can make 145 again. Even before Conor got jacked it was impossible for him to go back down and he was more lean

Stand up dude 💯

Curious what he does next. He clearly isn't interested in fighting a "regular" contender like Gamrot or someone like that and there really isn't any big name fight available right now

Lol they mentioned fairfax va, Daniel Bryan once called GMU fairfax va the middle of nowhere lol wtf good stuff

Dustin is my favorite fighter, I'd love to see him get that gold .

THEO SHOUT OUT!

Idk about everyone else but this weight class is starting to stale up a bit so many rematches at the top. They're good fights but starting to lose interest in the top.

Dustin posted a video of himself standing on a scale weighing 180, saying he was "in decent shape" and this was when he cut to 145. Surely he has put on (at least a small amount) more size since he has moved to 155. He could absolutely fight at 170 if he wanted to, it's unlikely he walks around at a weight further than 5lbs from Colby's walk around weight..
