Dustin Poirier UFC 299 Interview: Discussing his advantage over Benoit Saint Denis | ESPN MMA 

Win or lose Dustin deserves to be in the hall of fame, he's been in so many big fights, been a great representative of the sport and is one of the greatest lightweights of all time.

Huge respect to Dustin for taking this fight. Tough opponent and fighting down in ranking

Brett must of asked him atleast 10x why does he want to fight still...dude this is a badass fight stop talking about the end of his career

That last statement was deep man

Dustin gotta show the haters again how it's done.

You have a legend in front of you and waste everyone's time with wack questions.

it is absolutely insane how espn has consistently the worst quality footage out of any one out there

wow the way Brett is talking to Dustin 😤 Guy is a UFC legend. Go Dustin from the UK fans

Pressure makes Poirier 💎

We are with you bro. No matter what happens, your my all time favorite fighter and human being. Really gonna suck when the real ones are done fighting.

Huge respect for Dustin from France! Love how respectful those two guys are about each other, you don't need to trash talk your opponent to be a beast in the octagon!

Its crazy how many times people expect this man to prove himself, again. BSD looks great, but he’s never been in there with anyone even close to Dustin’s level. You really think Dustin couldn’t wipe out Matt Frevola in about 90 seconds?

I'm French but I much respect this man because he is humble and I know he will fight like a dog till the end! Much respect also for his courage to accept a fight with someone so far away in rank. So while I hope BSD will win, I really can't say now who is gonna win, i respect both warriors and can't wait for this beautiful combat!

It's a miracle guys like Poirier can even speak, the human body is a work of art

If Dustin beats this maniac i will buy his hot sauce

Okamoto interviews just feel like he's doing these because he has to, with zero preparation, just coming up on the spot and asking boring questions, its impressive how easy his job is and how he still somehow fumbles it

thankful I got to watch DP's career

why does it look like it was shot on a PAL camera from the UK in 1986?

Crazy to hear him talk about legends..He truly doesn't realize he is a legend also!!

Authentic, humble, thoughtful. Why Poirier will always be my fave.

Career longevity in mma is under rated by the fan base and DP is being modest. If he retired right now his career would be much more impressive than most UFC champions.

Brett okamoto is dry as Dustin is tough

I love Dustin! A true warrior and always respectful and honest about every situation in life. I wish him nothing but the best for the rest of his career and when he’s ready to retire I can respect that!

I can tell this dudes face has been through some wars

Such a great guy to hear, always genuine. Absolute legend. I wish him the best but will be backing BSD as a fellow french man.

We are all supporting you Dustin!! Let’s go!!!

We love you 💎. Louisiana represented!

always have and always will support the diamond!!! amazing family man, person, and fighter. ❤💎

Always delivers! What a fighter.

😊 You're an awesome example of a gentleman in a real fight game. I applaud you sir

I can’t describe it but i love that dude Dustin you are the man you know how there’s some people “famous” that you know that if you were to meet you would just click with. God luck diamond I know you will persevere through this fight!! God bless brother

This honesty and the real from DP is so refreshing and admirable. Really hoping he can bounce back. Him as an underdog is just pure disrespect!

Great chill interview

My favorite fighter. DP always inspires me with his words and wisdom. God bless him!

Dustin’s a warrior this fight is gunna be one to remember for sure 💯🔥

Love Dustin. He’s one of the real ones in the fight game. Good dude, family man, doing great things with his foundation as well. Can’t wait to watch him this Saturday. LFG 💎💎💎

Prayers to you Dustin and for all fighters out there. It’s a tough sport with horrible consequences

Poirier is a legend, much respect and love from France. Regardless of who wins, it'll be a great fight that I can't wait to watch!

Thanks for the video, ESPN MMA

The fact Dustin doesn’t want his daughter to see him fight, just shows he knows it’ll be a bloodbath

These questions were excellent

The 💎 showing his quality once again

Ready to see this fight

100% my fav ever UFC fighter. Such a nice humble killer dude.

He gotta pull out the “don’t count them chickens nah mean” when he wins 💪🏽

im from new orleans and he is my favorite fighter. the people he has fought is insane. best of the best and he grew up in the UFC and we watched him get better. I rly hope he snags that 30th win this week and can bounce back after his losses. He needs a win.. hes always fighting savages though

Dustin is a class act. My favourite fighter.

The Diamond defending his top 5 position this weekend. I am rooting for him.

We're with you Dustin 🙏🏼🥊

It s sad that we will never see him champ , i feel like the match with Justin was his last chance

jesus WHY does it have to be Okamoto as the interviewer? IS HIS DAD THE CEO OF ESPN OR WHAT????

Gotta respect the 💎

Dustin Poirier never disappoints anyone. Favorite fighter of all time. "Paid in Full".

The fact that this guy still has his job is wild to me

Congratulations on your career Dustin 🙏

I give Dustin Props for taking the fight , reason being this is a Rocky to drago moment you pull this one off you on a diff level then retire & chillax comfy my boy you got this Shon Lesssss goooooooooooo 🥊

Cheering for Dustin hardcore. What a savage. Deserves all the credit, don’t let down my parlay bruh!

Always been one of my favorite fighters .. was truly shocking when he knocked out McGregor the first time ! El diamente

Rooting For Dustin All The Way, Absolutely 🗣️🗣️😤😤

0:15 He's fought in Atlanta though. That's closer to Miami than New Orleans.

LEGEND.

What a G he really is

Respect from France. A true Legend, a good guy. But now it's time for Benoît to enter in the history of UFC.

"A piece of me is gonna leave that I could never get back". Dam.

The Frenchman gets hit a lot but has decent grappling and power reminds me of the Chandler fight excited to see how this goes.

Dustin is a true competitor 💯

Dustin deserves huge respect

The diamond a true warrior my favorite fighter of all time

Let's go DP!!🔥🔥👊👊

Dayuuuum I like Poirier so much

Can’t wait to see DP fight 💥

Lets goo 💎

Respect

I would love to see Dustin win the title. Been so close 2 times, and would like to see him win it.

So much better and proffessional questions, than the dump stuff interviewers asked at press compf

I love Duston. Absolute warrior.

The dawg of all dawgs

Not the biggest fan but gotta give this guy his respect and flowers

I ❤ Dustin strait up... So many good memories and great fights; just a legend 🙏

I dont understand why no one bring up Dustin Poirier's French Heritage as he is fighting à Frenchman, someone of his Ancestor's Land ? I know Americans are very patriotic but in the past, Poirier did bring up his French Heritage ( and it was obvious given his last name is typically French, plus he was born in Louisiana, Lafayette ! 😅 and his wife's name is also french > which means Pretty ). Poirier spoke à bit about his Heritage, has à fleur de lys ⚜️ tatooed .. it would have been very interesting to me to hear about Poirier's family's History and a beautiful act to connect him with his Roots, as French audience knows very well about his French Blood .. Poirier is American, but he said to be very proud of his Cajun Background as well many times, how hard it was for them in America as if im not mistaken, they would not have the right to speak French .. ? I would have liked to know more, instead of the same typical questions before à fight 🙃 .. Poirier vs Saint Denis, it cannot be more French than that .. As a FrenchMan myself ( Part French/Part Argentine ) i would have been very interested in his Family's root, know more about Cajun people ..

Let’s get it 💎

Let’s go Dustin!

Much love for Dustin. He's earned his stripes and then some. I gotta take BSD though

Who knew that DUSTBIN poirier would become so good
