Media Dustin Poirier

Here's a new Mollywhoppery video on Dustin about the last part of his journey (vid just dropped). It's a tear jerker for me knowing we might not see him fight again, unfortunately time passes us all by. Anyway, it's a really well done piece for people who are interested, cheers.

I think my thread about Poirier being the best striker in Lw history from three years ago aged very well. TONS of people disagreed, but look at him now, hard to argue against it.

Is Dustin Poirier the best striker in the lw history?

So, personally I think Conor is more talented striker prime for prime. I think there's a significant gap in there. However, Poirier just knocked out that that very Conor at lightweight, and Conor really hasn't done much at all at lightweight anyways. And funny enough, Poirier outlanded Conor...

He had a hell of a career. As a striker predominantly in a division that was and is dominated by wrestlers. Respect.

@Poirierfan

Haha, it did make me sad. Thanks

He's had a great career.

More importantly though, he's successful in business, health is intact, great family and he's a good person outside of the cage.

No reason to hang his head low. Future Hall of Famer!

He also gave us this gem...

I'm around the same age as him and have been following him his entire WEC/UFC run. It's hard not to have an emotional attachment to him. He represents everything that being a fighter/respectable man is about.

I love that, .

It’s been a pleasure watching Dustin grow as a person more than anything. He was once a very easily riled hot head, who no one really liked. Somewhere a long the line he started to figure things out and it showed in his performances

That's the best gift ever imo that Dustin could've given us. Lmao

Cmon Porier, get it together. Tferg and McGregor need opponents

Much better to retire now than to add a big unnecessary losing streak to his career like BJ And Tony Ferguson.

The guy has been a mainstay in the Top 5 at LW. He has done everything right and fate made it so that his prime years coincided with the rise of three of the most skilled and dangerous LWs in history and only they kept him from the title.

He's got a hall of fame resume, better than many Champions, and has several classic fights under his belt.

Plus, any guy that goes from looking like this:

To this:


Is a winner in life.

Poirier a legend.

You aren't the only one brother. Some people are just built different, like me, built like an overgrown Russian Matryoshka doll. Smooth and round.

He just matured as a man.
And did it in the public eye.

His humility in handling defeat is really quite a breath of fresh air.

 

[Dana's Moonface]

Never became undisputed, but he had a WAY better career than many title holders and Has left an amazing legacy

Also pushed conors shit in twice and proved the better fighter

 

[AmonTobin]

HOF 100%. He will be missed when he retires.
