DUSTIN QUIT

[Edward Henry Greb]

Hey, no one can argue that Dustin Poirier has been a prominent figure in the UFC for years.

He has had some great moments, but is only a "good" (or even very good) fighter.

Arman Tsarukyan basically nailed it — Dustin Poirier QUIT to Islam Makhachev.

In the fight of his life, at the defining moment (the 5th round), Dustin got caught in a bad spot, and didn't even try.

The fight of his life, at the defining moment of his career — not to mention the chance to finally achieve greatness — Dustin haphazardly "tapped" rather than go out LIKE A WARRIOR.

This cryptic cartoon embellishes everything that Dustin Poirier is and ever was: good, capable of achieving heights, but NEVER Champion Material ...



It is what it is.

 

[usernamee]

that's crazy, after the fight my thoughts were "wow doostin really wanted to give every ounce of himself in his potentially last fight, bravo"

 

[ObsoleteSoul]

He should have died instead. Like a real man

 

[Elvis.]

 

[linvillegorge]

I think he quit because the blood supply to his brain got cut off.

 

[Ares Black]

What a garbage thread.

 

[Marko Polo]

Is this guy one of the worst posters of all time?

This aint it, Golem.

5 rounds, broken nose, ACL tear, rib injury, has just staved off TDs from one of the best grapplers in the world, has been battered in boxing range which he was expected to handily win, and now he is getting folded and choked by a guy with the grip of a gorilla and the back muscles that look like steel cables. Cant breath, cant move, hurt.

Easy for us to judge him like this, but he absolutely did not give up.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

I mean technically anyone that taps out quits!

 

[Edward Henry Greb]

Maybe watch Bisping "go out fighting" to St. Pierre ...

Maybe watch Tsarukyan refuse to tap to Oliviera ...

Hell, for that matter ...

Even watch Holly Holm **REFUSE TO TAP ** to Meisha Tate ... and FIGHT EVERY SECOND until unconsciousness ...

Dustin's "effort to escape" was non-existent.
The moment
His "fighting spirit" (the moment Islam's hold was there) disappeared.

Like it or not, IT WAS A QUIT ...

Dustin Poirier = highly-talented fighter, but always an ultimate failure when the Championship is on the line.

 

[Edward Henry Greb]

I mean technically anyone that taps out quits!

Yes, precisely.

Which is why those fighters, who DON'T tap, EVER, should be held in higher regard.

The moment "a tap" happens, the combatant CEASES to fight, thereby CEASING to be "a fighter" ... literally by definition.

 

[NoSmilez]

Ask someone to put you in a Darce.

Very entertaining how wrong he is

 

[markg171]

It's funny how everybody's shitting on TS when he's just agreeing with what Arman said.

For some reason none of you are saying Arman's wrong and doesn't know what he's talking about.

 

[Barbelo]

I believe his job is safe. No pinkslip according to UFC human resources.

Yes

Idiot,

Losing = losing.

Quitting = ADMITTING YOU LOST.
Quitting = BEING BEATEN, mentally and physically.

Those fighters who NEVER QUIT, are NEVER BEATEN, Mentally.

The age-old phrase, "You are never beaten, until you quit," exists for reason.

Those fighter who refuse to quit should ALWAYS be held in higher esteem than the common quitter.

If you don't understand the difference, then you clearly don't even grasp what the concept of "a fighter" actually is.

A quit (tap, verbal, etc.) = the cessation of fighting = NO LONGER "a fighter" ...

Those rare breeds who "fight until gone" deserve to be recognized as such ... because they are the ONLY ones who (literally) "go out on their shield.

 

[Poirierfan]

What a garbage thread.

You nailed it, this could be in the running for shittiest thread of the year.

Two of the fighters you mentioned in an earlier post, Holm and Bisping, would go on to get bludgeoned several times after "not quitting".

Why do I bring it up? Because it shows you that, in the grand scheme of things, going out on your shield doesn't make a difference.

Hendo "quit" several times before he went on to have the career he did, as did Couture or Anderson.

No. It takes a stronger mind to know when you are beat.

live to fight another day.

People that look for DQ wins on the other hand.
