Thank you for your effort in providing us a window into Dustin and ofcourse, thank you Dustin for opening the window to share your vulnerability with us. Please do not feel disheartened, your literally right on the cusp of that title. Do not give up... Not yet. Your not done physically and with the love and heart that you have... not even close (unless you don't want or care about the title anymore and I don't see that as true). Give yourself some time away, talk to a cognitive therapist and reinforce that confidence you should have and hit the gym. Hit it hard, but smarter and more thoughtful than before because there is always room for improvement and that what you do. You always get better.. see you at the top!

@alcottdevalte7440 2 жыл бұрын

@@alr1577 You're right, Dustin is a great counter puncher and he managed to drop him 3 times but the pace was extremely high. His wrestling and grappling skills improved training for the Khabib fight, but he made the same problem against Oliviera like he did against Khabib; he focused about the danger more than his own best skills and gameplan. And just lacked a little fight IQ due to that; he got out of balance in the southpaw stance because he extended too much, he couldn't stay in the center of the octagon, and it wasn't much wrestling but not being stable and the lack of his black belt jiu jitsu trust because he didn't try enough to get out and accepted it. Chandler is a white belt in jiu jitsu but his wrestling is anti jiu jitsu, and he took a big chance by jumping backwards when he was in the same posistion as Dustin, and he got out; therefore Chandler has never been submitted... Everytime Oliveira tried to take Dustin down in round 1, he rolled and spinned out of it except for the second round where his right glove was grabbed, and then the fight changed completely...

I’ve been hearing a lot of MMA KZfaq channels trying to downplay Khabibs legacy by comparing title defenses and those kind of stat that they use to determine “greatness” but the way Dustin compared his lose to Khabib and his lose to Charles says it all. In the Khabib fight he said “ I felt like I was bested” this one “ could have done more.” I point this out because in the future if Charles beats Justin people are going to come and claim Charles is better than Khabib. But I think Justin has a little bit more sting to his punchs than Dustin Charles may not survive those.

Belt or no belt he most likely has the most solid resume is the history of the lightweight division, 2 wins over max Holloway one of the goats, another 2 wins over the very first simultaneous double champ, gaethje, pettis, Alvarez. Never lost twice in a row in the ufc, has fought in two weight classes possibly soon to be 3. Has done it all in this sport and I still believe he’ll capture a title, whatever chapter comes next I just hope he’s happy and proud of his achievements, deserves all the glory in the world 💎

He has a few good options at 170 and he wouldn’t be having to kill himself to make weight anymore. I’m sure Conor would prefer the cut less weight too when they fight again. Also guys like Nate and Colby are fun and exciting matchups we all want to watch.

Keep ur head up Diamond, rest a bit then let's go again. It's not as bad as Dustin thinks. Imo if he gets at least 2 Ws at the highest level he can get another title shot at 155lb, and more so if the belt changes hands. One last run at 155lb before WW talk or giving up on becoming champ and chasing superfights & money fights.

Good for Dustin. Take a few more interesting fights at 170, collect some money, then retire. His trilogy win over Conor will arguably keep him more historically well known than a fleeting championship run. Not everyone becomes champion.

Agreed. I was thinking a matchup vs Diaz at 170 and then a 4th fight with Mcgregor at 170 to settle the beef once and for all. Both those fights would be competitive and generate a lot of PPVs.

Other than that he beat Conor 2 times he beat Max Holloway 2 times , he beat Anthony Pettis , Eddie Alvarez , Justin gaethje , Dan hooker, Jim Miller and the list goes on and on. Even won an Interim belt. He deserves to go fight at 170 Against guys like Nate Diaz Maybe another massive Conor fight and if he feels good up there and he beats those two guys those are the biggest guys in the sport he can get a fight with Colby And if he somehow Wins that’s an easy tittle shot I don’t think he will beat those upper level guys at 170 but he can do what he wants
