First guy to submit Chandler and still hasn't lost two in a row despite having fought through murderer's row for years. He might not be an undisputed champ but damn he's so good

@@360.Tapestry man Chandlers a Yoel and Wanderlie. Dangerous at first but once u realize their explosiveness is just wild and easily avoidable, you realize that they actually are low skilled strikers who just use explosiveness to overwhelm their opponents and pray they get a lucky KO. Chandlers garbage and a cheater.
When Dustin sang that "Hello darkness my old friend" line, I laughed so hard. HAHAHA. This is why I like Dustin! He knows where he is weak at and improves on it and well what do you know? The thing that he sucked at (getting submitted via choke), just gave him the victory. I also salute Iron Mike for giving us one hell of a fight. Nothing but massive respect for these two SOBs.

Literally one of my favorites of all time Dustin faces adversity and keeps pushing threw it till the end !
Dude DP Is just always going to be one of my fave fighters
Dustin has the best Boxing in the Division. His technique is crispy and powerful. Killer mentality!!
DP is alot more comfortable talking with media these days... Becoming a Father and Businessman has improved his confidence in himself... other than fighting. It's really a great thing to see. God bless 🙏
I just love Dustin he is such a great human and he is the best striker in lightweight division for sure☺️☺️☺️and the way he is so technical dude it's not important to win title when you are already diamond ❤️❤️
Dustin is a fighter in every sense of the word! Respect brother!
Still my favorite fighter he’s fought the best of the best at LW for years he’s lost some but won a ton more. A huge heart.
This guy has heart, lots of heart. Always puts on a great fight, always just a good hearted guy.
one of the best of all time, truly champion material, just got unlucky to be fighting at the same time as such high level grapplers
Poirer is a class act , absolute savage in the ring too . Great guy , great for UFC .

Dustin is one of the VERY few that gets the fundamentals of boxing and he's always so well rounded, a true mixed martial artists.
“Hello darkness my old friend” hahaha Diamond is such a cool dude hahah
What a fight and happiness for Dustin ✌️👍
dustin is the guy who has been in there with the baddest of dudes and has always bounced back after major losses like from championship bouts. guy is a pure savage and by the look on chandler's face u can easily say he hits very very hard . moreover his chin is incredible too💎💎👏👏
very mature and rational guy....calm and composure...
That "Hello darkness my old friend" was so funny. Dustin so down to earth dude fuckin love that guy.
After the fight he said "man I was scared to fight you but I did what I had to do", as some said, he is just straight forward about it all. He is a home town guy, him and DC, and I admire them and what they give back to Lafayette all the time.
"hello darkness my old friend" lmfao, love the diamond
Dustin is the most real and down to earth fighter in this division and he is a really, really great fighter
Dustin is an amazing person, I believe his boxing is unmatched in MMA and his defence is very tricky, I'm glad he got a submission on this one so he can prove his ground game. And Chandler is a beast, the most entertaining fighter of this year by far, you love to see him and win or lose we're in for a fucking treat.
Can't wait to see Dustin fight for the title ! Absolute warrior !
Pure class…and Elite.
This was the first and only time I gave cheered for Dustin.
