2015 poirier on islam: i am not sure who he is.... Yeah he can get his ass whooped too. 2024 Islam makhachev: “I know Dustin does not deserve the title fight, but we don’t have any option right now" He’s a legend, he beat a lot of top guys, and he’s a tough opponent too. He have a good guillotine.” time goes by and aged really well. 😂😂😂

It's wrong for the interviewer to make out Islam doesn't really respect Poirer. If you watch the interview Islam clearly mentions fighting Poirer helps build his resume and legacy because the guy (Poirer) is a legend. It's funny how reporters will twist things for a click.

@@michaelhoganmusic did you actually listen to the Islam interview???? Muppet, read what I wrote and listen to the Islam interview. He clearly mentions that fighting Poirer would be great for his legacy because Poirer is a legend in the sport. Hence the comment we are making is why do some of these interviewers twist he response from Islam (this is regardless whether the interviewer is a man or a woman).
The reporter made what Islam said sound bad. Obviously Justin is the most deserving for a title shot but is unavailable but Dustin is. That's what Islam meant.

What a weird comment from Dustin. The current champion of the division publicly says he'll give him the next shot at the title, with zero shade or negativity involved. What goes through Dustin's head that makes him think the proper, or correct response is, "I've done more in this sport than he has." I like Dustin, but sometimes he's just so arrogant, and ignorant. Islam has the belt, and has defended it twice now, while Dustin has never had it.

Why do people like you only know to look what's directly in front of you? Dustin and a handful of fighters laid the foundation of what the UFC is now today, at the era where fighting gets u paid absolute garbage. Yet they still went through slaughter houses of fighters and risked their brain cells in the UFC octagon. Islam wouldn't even be who he is today if Conor the coke head, who helped made the UFC the name it is today, didn't let Khabib get a chance at fighting him. Islam needs to humble himself
I wish they had cancelled the Max fight, booked him with Topuria for 300, then booked Gaethje with Islam. But its FAR too late to consider something like that. That would've had to been in the works RIGHT after 298

They making a big deal out of nothing. Islam just said what he felt he was supposed to say, that’s all. But I love how Dustin never takes the easy way! The safe answer would’ve been for him to say that he’s done so much, he doesn’t need to hold gold to be considered the champ. But Dustin puts that pressure on himself. That’s why I believe he’ll get that belt!
I hope this fight happens. The Diamond deserves a last chance at gold. I hope Dana White sees that Poirier deserves this and makes it happen
So whats gonna be the main event for 301 in 🇧🇷 if Alex loses to Hill? It should have been the rematch between Charles and Islam since Charles beat both Dustin and Justin already. And a title eliminator between Gaethje and Arman Tsarukyan but of course that leaves Dustin without an opponent. The only other option would be a trilogy with Dustin and Justin for the BMF belt. Arman could face the winner of Islam/Charles 2 or rematch Gamrot in another title eliminator.
they've both done a lot for the sport. both are capable of winning. dustin is just starting to sound a little bit old by saying that though - like yeah - you've done a lot for the sport - but you are no where near close to being done though, right? dustin is only 3 years older but that does make him the eldest at 35
He looked like Cody Brundage in that thumbnailq
1:59 "Gone in the RING with you" 🤔 It's the UFC. They fight in the octagon, not a "ring".
The fanboyism in the comments is control your hips style riding.
A week before the fight, DP will tweet "The Fight is off", then Dana will give me a bunch of money then he will tweet "Fight is back on". Just watch
Oh no Dustin, you should've been thankful to Makhachev for giving you the title shot coz you really don't deserve before Gaethje or Oliveira both humbled you... The fact that you're in talks for a title shot again after tapping both the times in title's fight, is a blessing itself for you 😂

I love both fighters, respect tf out of Islam. but man I want this for Dustin so bad
Poirier said he's done more, not achieved higher accolades. He's been active in the ufc trenches for way longer. Longevity, his highlight reel of iconic wars & knockout wins, more high profile fights, etc... I get his perspective. He's beaten several former champs & complete savages. Max, Eddie, Gaethje, McGregor, Chandler... Just a couple fights ago Islam was still unproven. I remember how many questions people had before the Dan Hooker fight. Hasn't been that many fights since then, but don't get me wrong Islam has undoubtedly done great for himself since.
He want it ! But he is not ready.. and he know it.
It would be a bisping-like fairytale story if Dustin was able to capture the belt. I hope he gets it done.
Bring it home Dustin!
I believe in DP and I think he will be a great fight with Islam. Yes we know what Islam brings. Do not count Dustin out 💎
What kind of question from that interviewer man?
