Dustin Poirier wants title fight, talks McGregor trilogy & other options | Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show

Ariel is a great interviewer.
This man is very likeable.
Connor does not deserve a title fight. When you loose,you don’t fight for the title. First win 6 or so fights and then. By giving Connor these special favours,it cheapens the meaning.
MMA of today are naked MMA. 2D MMA... Striking + Grappling. We need to evolve now. We 3D MMA!!!! Grabbing + Striking + Grappling... 50%+30%+20%... ;)
I picked porier to stop Conor , he deserves his respect.
Poirier is the better fighter. However McGregor is the better boxer.
Conor wanted "a war" he couldn't even handle some leg kicks. Not saying they don't hurt, but wars hurt. Conor is garbage at 155 with 1 win. He doesnt deserve a trilogy because he won a fight against a 2014 poirier, its 2021, poirier is the much superior fighter now overall. Sure, Conor has knockout power but that's all he has. After a few minutes he is complete garbage. Poirier should move on and not take this fight.
Dustin Your a Good Dude.
he took long to ko ariel den conor 🤣
Felt like Ariel is trying to help Dustin out pay wise. Dustin took offence to it. But Ariel was basically telling him... You should get a piece of the pie...
One of the reasons McGregor lost is to avoid the fight with Khabib again 😂😂
Give him the belt for the last fight, let him fight Nathan at 170 while the others figure out who the new #1 contender is going to be. That makes the most sense to me. Because he shouldn’t have to fight to be the champ again? Cause unless Khabib comes back that belt is Dustins. No?
He really does have a pea head
I CANT BE MAD HE WANTS THE MONEY FIGHTS but every1 knows HE DESTROYS MCNUGGET & DESTROY NATE NO PROBLEM
Enough is enough. Conor must quit. Hes not the same guy anymore. He too old now. If he continue, he will be humiliated
The rural drawer sicily fence because lisa oppositely chew except a nutritious linen. different, soft plaster
I think a trilogy will be amazing if Conor really wants it
red panty night
Dustin and Mike Chandler look like brothers
Let's go diamond!!!
Dustin is the man
Great win, great guy…
"Nah I want to hurt these guys" lol quote of the year.
Will say without the peoples opinion an money no 1 would be famous?
Credit were due he made me a fan ?
Is there anyone who just more off putting the areil
Dustin would be a trash champion if the guy is crying and whinging about analysts on him and stuff
oh wow. ariel boundaries!!
this fight made me a poirier fan for sure. hes a role model and a champ . i wish him the best
Because you nearly lost to Dan Hooker over a close five round war and Chandler decapitated him in less than 30 seconds.
Dustin "Kyrie Irving" Poirier
why does Dana still hate Ariel??
Summary: Dustin hates freedom of speech.
10:38 That’s the life of a touring musician. Everything sucks except the stage performance.
Ariel under the sea do you read all those books? or is it a background?
I want usman to win, so i cld get colby vs usman for the gold
Congrats to the Diamond 🔹 & team but the work ain't done 🙏 SMASH one more time🙏 OK (triogly)
Ole Dustin doesn't want no part of Olivera or Chandler. Looks like he wants to take easy fights and you can't blame him. But I wud like to hear he accepted Jesus.
porier is so oldshool that he can still get pissed off by some of ariels qs haha
I will be in the UFC one Day
I am 15
17:45 Ariel
He asked if you got ppv....he got mad. Lol he got no cut of the pie hahaha dustin is so insecure still its hilarious
One thing I will say is Porier does have funky body language. He seems like such a nice guy and almost super shy. He stated many times he doesn't like fighting and I think he doesn't want to hurt anyone, but realizes he is really good at it so in turn, he does enjoy it. I wish I knew how to turn that switch, I could have been a good fighter like him had I been able to get serious in the ring/cage. I would love to talk to Porier and Wonderboy about how they can want to hurt people, yet be so kind.
That said, he talked about how he has been counted out, so I can see that being a lot of motivation
Hey Dustin I just wanted to say it brother, don't let the trolls get you upset if I were you I'd just stay right out of the comments I wouldn't even read them it's much better that way
It's refreshing to hear Dustin say that the Conor fight was not the biggest fight that he has fought in. Connor doesn't deserve any credit whatsoever.
Helwani asks questions old ladies like asking geez
Dustin Poirier is the Champion of the Light Weight Division. Love Khabib but he is done.
Chip on his shoulder Dustin is the best Dustin 😂
If I was good at photoshop I'd fix that image at 7:58 so that it look like Poirier's fist is literally going into McGregors face.
He's so cute. Lol
Habib "I dont want to smesh dis guy again"
conor should fight ferguson
He's a really nice and humble guy - I hope everything comes his way!!
Diaz.
his physical and his mental are there but his personality isn't
Weasel Ariel getting outed regarding pay... always entertaining
For him to physically not have a belt around his waist is a joke! The guy has beat the best of the best constantly! Should defs do the trilogy with McGregor and make that bank
The cowardly hamburger steadily turn because bucket greely guarantee round a shaggy theater. thin, massive lathe
"I don't ask you how much ESPN pays you." ...😬😅
Why he use that background? Genius?
Never been a fan of his, but I'm glad he did his thing at 257. Connor's head got too big for his britches.
The damp pheasant indisputably bat because foundation oppositely fear beside a electric perch. aggressive, decisive scissors
This is an awkward interview. Dustin seems like he has CTE or something he is so slow at answering.
Dustin trying to duck Oliveira because he knows he will be grapple banged just like he was against Khabib. He knows that he is the only other top contender that is worthy of a title shot. every other top contender is coming off a loss, besides chandler but he only has 1 win. Poirier vs Oliveira for the strap.
one the most underrated guy in world
Dustin is keeping it real. He's a good person. and being himself.
Look at that iconic picture of *Jack Johnson* the greatest of all time on Dustin's wall!
This video goes out to all of you wannabe experts; STFU
Great champion.- he seems to have higher goals only using Martial art platform to reach there- you can clearly sees hes on the next level sht..
DUSTIN POIRIER I USED TO ROOT AGAINST YOU BRO BUT WHAT THE F U. K YOU WERE TALKINGNIS 100% TRUE bro I will RESPECT you forever because you are a real martial artist
Hoooo i love him🥰🔥❤
Dustin make noise, than only Dana will pay u what u r worth of. If not he will profit 80% of ur $$$$
Not only Dustin, all fighter should do than only Dana will pay what fighter deserve
The job of Dana is to use you when u r in the too
Dustin win the belt, then beat Corner n resign. Ur worth will be far more than corner n khabib. Don’t forget to resign When u r in the top
As per the win Dustin vs olivera should be title fight. No doubt
Dustin would love to stiffen up Ariel I swear to God lmao.
who's the boxer in the picture behind Poirier?
porier sounds scared.. to fight Oliver or chandler.. he wants the easy pay day, not interested in a challenging fight..
Dustin doesn't need too fake it too make it. He is just a humble dude being himself
Jack Johnson poster love it
11:04 Dustin is too real, one of the realist
What is it with people not believing when a man said : this is my last fight. Dana is the one pushing the esew Khabib promised he's mother, case closed, not even GSP will make the Eagle brake a promise to he's mother.
Is Diamante ♦ not diamente get it right.
Love the Jack Johnson photo
Dustin was epic in this interview lol
dustin already fought the champion and lost decisively. Then fought conor, who also got dominated by khabib. My point is, dustin doesnt deserve the title shot
Dustin really is the champ.
Dustin deserves a decent pay day with ppv points, he's earned that after everyone including the UFC has doubted him
dustin should be a way bigger superstar than mcgregor now. he is the best combination of likeable guy with talented figher
big shoutout to @dustinpoirier , I really get what he wants for his carreer thnaks for the ITW
He shouldn't be worried about conor fight he jjst fought him and demolished him done move on next fight title fight. He deserves rhe title and conor at this moment doesnt
such a real one
He's a top man. Go on the 💎
I respect poirier more, he had the picture of Jackson in his room. The first black box world champion during slavery
“Listen Ariel” goosebumps
the new slang -wad not....after hearing about the narrative all 2020
Connor could not have lost to a better fighter. Both are amazing fighters and I’m excited to watch Poiriers future fights! Connor keep training man and continue your growth as a fighter.
everybody no give him props because connor is mega star. But him earn my respect and is better than connor for this one.
We need to change the word humble to Dustin... 'That man is so Dustin' lol
