And its mostly not because of Ariel, but Dustin seems pretty annoyed with both the media and fans in General. The shot at ariel manipulating headlines at the end was funny.
Ariel asks Dustin if he got PPV points, Dustin seems pretty annoyed(17:49) <Lmaoo>

I don't think Dustin comes across good here, but I guess I understand some of his ire
 
Dustin is just an odd, awkward guy. Conor huggers, body language couch psychiatrists and weigh-in keen observers thought he was shook and gotten to.

Instead it was just Dustin being Dustin in the lead up to the Conor fight.

He mentions that in the interview. He talks about his frustrations with the fight business, not fighting but the fight business. Eh, I can understand to some degree. But He won, he made it. I don't know why harp on it instead of laugh about it but the chip is still there.

Can you provide cliff for that exact moment or just the timeline it happens in the video like you did for the one on the op
 
He's not feeling right from taking all those heavy shots from McGregor. If McGregor didn't have the freak leg injury Dustin was on route to being slept.

No one is ever the same after taking those shots. Dustin won the battle but McGregor won the war.
 
He's getting annoyed with most of these media guys because he doesn't like the framing of their questions. That said, he isn't adept enough to reject the framing and talk about what he wants to. Whole different skill there. So he's just going to continue to be frustrated until someone interviews him in a way that he doesn't feel like they're trying to get him in some way

Classic Conor, always winning the wars. Practically unbeaten.
 
I think this has happened before. I vaguely remember Ariel was asking him something about another fighter (Tony?) and was clearly fishing for a headline, and Dustin called him on it.
 
To be honest, Ariel is pretty annoying as he plays the rub game as much as anyone out there and it’s pretty clear he goes to bat for Conor.

Half of the interview was him pushing Dustin to say he wants to fight Conor so it could be used as a soundbite.

The DC bit at the end was so, so bad as well and it hits on how Ariel looks at those around him.

Did Ariel, by chance, ask him if nicknaming himself after "Screech" in Saved By The Bell was intentional?

Or, perhaps, if it was, Dustin was emotionally distraught?

He was annoyed with the MMAJunkie guy too and Mike Bohn is his guy. lol. The dude is annoyed with everyone, imo.

He said his missed the old school. None of this followers, clout, fans chiming in, etc.
 
Why is Gaethje so high? he lost his last fight and is 5-3 in the UFC
Why is Conor ranked aswell? get that leprechaun back to featherweight
 
Dustin likes Ariel though, he always gives him the after the fight interview. He is just a very stoic person when it comes to media and he even said later that Ariel is a great guy. All of his interviews come off as kind of awkward.
 
I watched a little of his First Take interview and it was so cringy. They brought Poirier on just to talk about "Conor's inactivity" basically trying to get himself to discredit his win lol.

4.09-4.26 lolz. They just can't say Khabib.
