How Benoit Saint-Denis went from Special Forces to the UFC 

You realise Saint Denis is the name of city from where he belongs? His name is Benoit. It would be like saying Dustin Lousinana 😂

i think they're friends thats why dustin gave him the chance....and good for both of them.

@@DarkWarrior_1 thanks for the info brother.

No, Saint Denis is his last name. But there's also city named like that@@DarkWarrior_1

No it's not. He is from Arles, France.@@DarkWarrior_1

hes so new to the game , he has room to grow and he has time

Yeah I agree Some people were so negative about him after this ko, but I think he still showed some great things on the first round, he really made Dustin have to fight for his life and it will be exciting to see him become better Both were happy to fight and get challenged, respectful and true warrior spirit, gotta go love it

He had 2 staph bro

And it was his first fight against a top 3. You don't stand a chance against an opponent like that if you're not at your best. I really like BSD, and I'm very impressed by D. Poirier's humility. Very good spirit.

Staph sergeant

He's got all the tools become a champ. Just needs to train boxing defense and he could be a champ in a couple years

Cope.

he will show you his Sword

@@angelrivas4042 u are the only one coping at each message their

No doubt. Also striking isn't his best tool although he can knock people out. What he does best is taking his opponents downs and beating them on the ground. On top of his striking, I wish he improves that even more, since that's his bread and butter.

Weight cutting bro

@@Jonathan-os5eosurtout ses d’eux infections au stafilocoque

He have 2 staph infection..

i was thinking the same, he is way more dynamic usually even if he stays really serious and focuses anytime.

antibiotics

Yep one of the best examples I have seen recently. His calm demeanor was so imposing in the press conference.

Yeah, we all men do romance with our sword when watching one on one battles late at night 😂😂

He was referring to the storyline of the movie "Lancelot".

He didn't lie though. Most people think Romance only means love between a man and a woman, thanks to romantic movies mostly. Google the definition.

​@@ElectricHorseman66 Not about the movie! Lancelot du Lac is a XIII' century french book romancing AND inspiring knights of that time. It's historically true btw that most on ancient french knights give a name or a persona to their Sword. (Earlier in time)

​@@ElectricHorseman66it's a classic of literature first and a legend ( la quêtedu graal), transmit for almost a thousand years coming from the routs of christianity.

Cope.

@@angelrivas4042how is that cope tho? 😂

@@angelrivas4042 Dont tell me you're still a bit salty after finding out your mother likes to gargle semen😂

@@JohnJoatanhe’s said this in 6 comments already lol

​@@angelrivas4042 lets cope lets cope

He's a brawler and an average fighter at best. I don't think he can hang up there unless the division waters down greatly

Not if he stands n bangs with the best....

@@svengali5862he could develop. He just has to box smarter and pick his shots better

@@vince11harris Easier said than done - especially since all the other guys are also getting better

after what he showed, i bet no-one wants to fight him, he´s a beast

If he wasn’t %100 his coaches should have pulled him out, stop with the excuses he fought like an idiot.

You cant turn down the opportunity to fight the #3 as a #12 who just entered the rankings. Thats a career changing fight if he wins. If it were the other way around then you absolutely pull out.

It's not an excuse, it's just a regret. I also wished he were AT 100 percent. Dustin could still have done the same but probably on later rounds.

@@daysbefore54th Unfortunately, BSD is not "big" enough in UFC to pull out a fight against a legend like Dustin Poirier and not having bad consequences after (for example not having a fight against a top 5 for a LONG time)... He chose to fight without all his physical abilities and did an "all in" in round 1. Poirier is a beast and it's not a shame to loose a striking battle against him. DP is a legend, more than most UFC actual and former champions. BSD will come stronger, he's 1 year younger than Gaethje when he was knocked out by Poirier in 2018 !

cope

Right. It’s like it took his whole boxing defence away.

Bruv, he's very very hittable, every fightm

He is at a great age. No reason why he cant bounce back and go for the belt. He got a taste of whats its like at the top of the game and thats very valuable for sure. He has all the time in the world to become a champion.

Mais il a l'air éteint c'est fou J'ai vu pleins d'interview et la ça se voit rien qua son visage

2 staph infection..

if this guy would start to bob and weave, he´ll be a Nightmare for anyone his will, is tremendous

I see BSD right now like Gaethje in is debut....alot of power and love to fight! drop 10% of is shot and pick is shot and he is top 5

Cope.

striking defense and pacing

He tried to finish fast because he had been on antibiotics for a week and was completely exhausted. You can see in the interview that he's not fine

Agreed, he looks sick in this interview

He is a fking serious dude giving death stare to our Nina, from what angle does he appear loveable? Don't do bromance here

😂😂😂😂😂😂 the funniest too !!

@@DarkWarrior_1 At least he takes her seriously, or who else did answer her question so detailed?

Malik.. ​@@DarkWarrior_1

And ? He's not arrogant or rude, he is nice and shy @@DarkWarrior_1

#Truth

He and Wonderboy inspire me to be more earnest as a man

Well said, he is indeed

no there is a lot like him in france, even if he is an exemple for us (I'm French)

They are regular dudes with a taste for violence no big deal

i think from now he will, his coach never stop to tell don't rush all the time , keep your hands up but bsd never listen because he was winning and unstoppable, now i think he is fullly aware that against elite fighters you can't have thise weakness

Ah sympa, j'étais pas au courant !

C’est pas plutôt les chevaux de Camargue ?

​@@CiaoComoEsta Non, l'emblème de Nîmes est un crocodile enchaîné à un palmier, symbolisant la victoire sur l'Égypte

Je savais même pas bsd était de Nîmes à la base (même s’il est sur bayonne ajd), je suis de Arles !

Amen 🙏

I wish, too, but there is a guy named Islam who has the belt right now. I don't know anyone who can pass him right now in the division. Anyhow, that would be an incredible performance from BSD.

@@jaykotey6228by the time he gets back Islam prolly be gone we know them Russians fight alittle take on the ones they want and retire

​@jaykotey6228 In term of wrestling, BSD is the only one who can truly compete against Makhachev. He's a beast on the ground/clinch

Yes and seen twiter and the thousands of bad critics from muslims, je is dedinitly one of ours.. american or French we have the same enemies and trust me they hate us and want to destroy us

Fighters have fought with staph before.

@@Eyeofthetiger69 did they win ?

@@TheGreenArrow83 Kevin Lee didn't against Tony.

BSD won against Bonfilm with a staph@@TheGreenArrow83

Wtf does people being from the us have anything to do with knowledge of staph?

I like the way you think man. And I love your pfp too

Easier said than done. I believe believe Benoit was feeling like trash for the last week or 10 days before the fight. He could have gave up, but that would have put the company in a VERY difficult position, considering he was the Co-main fighting against a legend in Poirier. Giving up would have really bad implications for Benoit as well in giving up on the company, he is a very professional fighter on top of being a great human being, there was no way he would let anyone down at this point. Real ones know the truth in the end.

Nah, he is a man not a monster. From which angle does he look like a monster?

​@@mindfulstoic3095exactly, he honoured his engagement with UFC, not to mention the opportunity it was to fight the legend from Lafayette

Bro snuck it in

​@@mattyzigzagFrench cab drivers do that, man. They know how to compliment someone who tries at least. Plus they're quite the romantic people ofc. Think of Tony Parker the former San Antonio Spur driving a Marseille cab and he's all friendly and positive but he ain't conning u lmao

Cope.

are you restarted@@angelrivas4042

He was taking antibiotics for a staph infection all fight week, so he wasn’t 100%. That being said, Dustin hits you on the button with a hook & it’s night night.

@@steveknick1978 cope.

@@angelrivas4042zip it up when your done

It s tricky. Dustin didn't really take this fight seriously. He was doing all these weird guillotines, giving his back for free. Didn't respect Benoît grappling abilities. Casually knocked him out and took almost no damage. Only danger was the armbar sub attempt end of round 1. One of the easiest victory of Dustin ever.

Some of thos guillotines were actually dangerous. I dont think you're right, Dustin trained very seriously for this fight. You dont give him thé credit he deserves

@@anthonysilver7104 I gave him the credit he deserves, if you are able to not read selectively you would see i did just that by calling him Dustin a beast and saying he isn't the type of fighters to brawl against unlike Benoit's previous opponents, you're triggered for no reason. As for the guillotines, they were dangerous, but he escaped all 4 of them, so i am not sure why you are mentioned them.

@@mindfulstoic3095I was obviously answering to the comment just above mine, which said that Dustin didn't take this fight seriously.

Saint-Denis*

Not sure but he definitely started the second round in a bad shape.

Dude I’m French, but I don’t like you’re decisive tone Dustin showed how good he was, and this scenario could have happened infection or not. BSD still have improvements to make, his defense was his downfall and it could have ended like this even at 100%, make no mistakes about it. Really excited to see him improve and test more guys in the top 10. But donc take anything away from DP

​@@alexf268I agree

⁠@@alexf268well said, I think the UFC are aware that BSD wasn’t 100% and thankful he didn‘t pull out last minute and ruined the show. He will probably face a couple top 10 guys before he gets another shot at top 5. I am already dreaming of DP taking the belt and defending it against him in the near future, that‘s highly hypothetical but who knows?

@@juliengomez4708 yeah unfortunately I don’t see this happening again. My guess would be something like : Dustin fight Islam for the belt one last time and gets murdered, and announce his retirement satisfied he had at least a last chance. Islam defends his belt just a few for more times against Gaethje, Oliveira, tsarukyan, ect, murder them all as well, then go to retirement too in about 2 years. By that time BSD improved and made a few others statements in the top 10, and is finally ready to be n1 contender and fight for the belt. When Islam will be gone, everyone in the division will finally have some hope, and anything can happen. If BSD worked hard and smart until then, he could totally be in the picture to be champion

French youth need to drop all the clowns they are following on social medias (Booba, Kaaris, and all those idiot rappers) and start getting inspired by someone like Benoit. Finally a frenchman showing his love for his country and his traditions, things need to change, i hope Benoit is a catalyser for change.

​​@@mindfulstoic3095a good part of french youth is actually brainrotted, hence why he had so many haters after his loss, but the other half that supports him is loyal and is inspired by him

(Yet he has made unforgiving strategic mistakes. But stop bashing him. He'll kill everybody.)

Dustin was also injured he had hurt his ribs quite badly.. its the name of the game but no doubt he'll be back

All the excuses won’t last, Dustin knocked him out

Neither was Dustin. Its the fight game bratha
