I always liked Dustin, dude always come to scrap, sometimes it doesn’t end up well for him but at the end of the day, he always comes to fight, no point fighting, he comes to win by stoppage, evident by his finishing %
 
I lost a lil faith when conor ran through him but im a fan. Conor's a beast so no shame in that loss.


I dont think dustin can beat any of the 3 champs. Haha
 
Dustin's the type of fighter you don't count out against anyone. He's well rounded enough to give Tony and Khabib problems.

Not going to comment on Conor because he isn't even a fighter at this point.
 
I like to see him fight but I don't think he could do anything to khabib

Dustin was also piecing up the former champion Eddie before he had to resort to cheating. Dude is a tough fight for anyone, also why that KO loss to Johnson hurt but hey, Johnson can crack and anyone can get knocked out, shit happens.
 
Guy's won 3 fight of the nights in a row (should be 4 if eddie didn't cheat) always sounds classy pre/post fight why not like him?
 
tenor-20(1).gif And one of few that believe he matches up well with Khabib.
 
Been a fan since his UFC debut when he beat up Grispi. Poirer is one of the most entertaining guys out there.

Also his hands looked pretty damn good tonight. So fast and fluid.
 
Theres a really good documentary out their which follows Dustin and some other young redneck fighter through the early stages of their careers. I can't recall the name but it's a good watch, made me a fan of Dustin.

Edit: It's titled 'Fightville'
 
Why? Grispi is such a great guy. He's descended from Rocky Marciano don'tchaknow
I became a fan because Grispi is my idol and anyone who can beat up my hero is a complete stud.

Fightville, great documentary.
 
having faith in someone and being a fan don't go hand in hand. win or lose support your fighter.
 
I followed him after Fightville. He's like a superior Bisping; makes his way right to the top and gets caught before a title shot. However excluding the 2 hooks from MJ and McGregor, he's only ever been outclassed by KZ back when he was 23 or so, and he has improved a lot since then.

King Mo says he's the best fighter at ATT. Not to say he's the most talented guy on the planet, but he's certainly very tough and hardworking. I'd be happy to at least see him fight for the belt, even if he comes up short.

IMO he's the toughest matchup for Khabib. Dude had seriously good wrestling and counterpunching.

Also a fan in here, he rebounded from the Conor and Johnson loses.

I never thought that he would beat Duffy.
 
Definitely like watching him fight. He's tough & incredibly talented but I just don't see him beating Khabib, Tony, Connor, Edson, or Kevin Lee. I met him one night & it surprised me but he was a dick. He always seemed like a nice guy but for some reason when I spoke to him he just stood there staring at me. It was just a tad awkward. He finally turned & walked away from me. I literally said how's it going man. It was weird.

Poirier/KZ was an excellent fight
