Speaker 17: (01:03:03)
I like it. Dana was here a little bit earlier. He said he spoke to Khabib. It doesn’t look like Khabib is going to come back right now. Are you okay with that? And if so, it seems like Chandler would probably be the fight for the title, you and him. Does that make sense to you?
Dustin Poirier: (01:03:13)
No, it does not. Respect to Chandler. Great win over a guy. But to come in and beat a guy I just beat and get a title shot, dude, I’ve been in, what is this? 27, 28 fights in the UFC, trying everything, find the toughest of the toughest guys to get my hands on gold. He should fight Charles Oliveira or something. Let Chandler and Charles Oliveira go at it. That doesn’t really interest me at this point. I’m going to sell hot sauce if that’s the case.
Speaker 17: (01:03:39)
Last thing for me. I guess they were saying on the broadcast that you went over to Cormier in the broadcast and you said, “I don’t even like this. I don’t like this anymore.” What was that about?
Dustin Poirier: (01:03:48)
I just felt like in the locker room, I just felt flat. I mean, I’m damn good at it. But I just felt flat and I just felt really calm. I don’t know. It’s hard to say, but that’s it exactly. I don’t really like this anymore. I don’t know.
Speaker 17: (01:04:08)Are you done?
Dustin Poirier: (01:04:11)
We’ll see. I mean, dude, I’ve got so many ass whoopings left to handout. I feel like I’m just hitting my prime and just putting everything together. My body and my mind are finally on the same wavelength. And just turned 32 this week. We’ll see what happens, man. I don’t know. Only part I liked was the fight, this whole last two weeks. So I don’t know if that answers the question or draws more questions. But I didn’t enjoy the process these last two weeks. The only part I liked was fighting.
Speaker 18: (01:04:48)
Dustin, right here. There was a moment in the first round when you were trading shoulder strikes, talking to each other. Is that something you had worked on or did you just throw it back-
Dustin Poirier: (01:04:57)
I always talk trash to these guys. Ask any of my opponents. I’m always having fun in there and talking and stuff. No. I hit him with the shoulder strike. I forget what I told him. I said, “How about that clavicle?” Or something silly. Yeah, that was it. And then he hit me with a good knee and I told him that was a great shot. That was a good one.
Speaker 18: (01:05:16)
And then finally, just to clarify, you’re willing to just wait and see if they give you a title shot. See what else happens behind you for-
Dustin Poirier: (01:05:22)
I’m not waiting for nothing. I’m going home. Be with my family. I’m going back to being a dad. I’m going to sell hot sauce. I’m going to work with my foundation. I have so many things happening outside of fighting right now. This is just something I do.
Speaker 10: (01:05:33)
Dustin. Here, to your right. You said that you were talking to him. Was he talking back or was he staying quiet?
Dustin Poirier: (01:05:39)
He wasn’t really. I think he said something. When he landed a shoulder, he might’ve said something, but he wasn’t talking. Yeah. It wasn’t a whole lot of chatter going on. Just in that mix of shoulder strikes against the fence.
Speaker 10: (01:05:49)
You mentioned you didn’t enjoy the process of this. Is part of that due to the size of the fight, how much media you had to do and all the attention on you?
Dustin Poirier: (01:05:56)
I don’t know. I think part of it might be from fucking spinning my wheels for two weeks, sitting in a hotel room. You call this Fight Island, but man, this is Fight Hotel. We couldn’t leave the property. I’m sitting for two weeks cutting weight. The furthest I can go is to the workout room. I was in a prison of my own mind over here, man.
Speaker 10: (01:06:14)You got to listen to the race cars though.
Dustin Poirier: (01:06:16)
It drove me fucking nuts yesterday. Yesterday was the worst day. And this is the day before the fight. I’m sitting there, I’m like, I’m about to jump off the balcony.
Speaker 10: (01:06:27)
You mentioned that a fight with Michael Chandler doesn’t really interest you at the moment. What does interest you? Would you rather just do a rematch with Conor? Would you like to look elsewhere? What does interest you?
Dustin Poirier: (01:06:35)
I mean, a rematch with Conor interests me. Always wanted to whip Nate Diaz’s ass. That interests me. In fighting, that’s about … I mean, I’m sure something will make sense. But just right now, I don’t know. Me and Conor are one and one. Nate Diaz got away and likes to talk a lot of shit online. But I just got to go back home, mostly.
Speaker 10: (01:07:06)Do you think there is something to Conor’s thing about inactivity hurting him?
Dustin Poirier: (01:07:11)
Possible. Everybody’s different. I’ve seen guys that it not affect. Ring rust is real, if you allow it to be. I just assumed it wouldn’t be for Conor. That’s how I approached this fight because I thought he was in Portugal and he has a training camp going built around him. He’s putting in the work every day. So I think you would be sharp and your timing would be good. The real life timing of a fight, I feel like I get that in training camps. So I don’t think ring rust will be a thing for me unless it’s mental, like a mental worrying about performing again maybe. I don’t know. To each his own, I guess.
Speaker 10: (01:07:46)
And last thing for me. A lot was made of your durability at 155 versus 145. You took the shot at 145, it finished you. But tonight you took a few shots. Did any of them hurt you, phase you at all, or did you feel like you could take them quite comfortably?
Dustin Poirier: (01:07:59)
No, he hurt me. He hurt me with the left hand. Nothing went, but he flashed me good. And if he would’ve pressured and I would’ve got hit again, I think I would have been really hurt.
Speaker 19: (01:08:11)
Dustin, it’s very obvious that you won the hearts of the fan when you were going out victorious tonight. Talk us through that feeling. And how did it feel to hear all those chants for Conor while fighting? How did you get through that or overcome them while fighting?
Dustin Poirier: (01:08:26)
I fought one time last year and there was no fans. So it’s been a while since I got booed. It’s been a while since I walked out to boos. I walked back to the locker room with cheers though. I heard that. So I heard the boos on the entry and I heard the cheers on the exit. And that’s exactly what a lot of these MMA fans are. Fair-weather. So that’s why I don’t hold that stuff too close to me. It doesn’t mean anything.
Speaker 19: (01:08:50)
Dustin, down here. Obviously you come out to James Brown all the time. Pay the cost to be the boss. I mean, just from your reaction there-
Dustin Poirier: (01:08:58)The hardest working man.
Speaker 19: (01:08:59)Could it be any more fitting given the magnitude of this victory?
Dustin Poirier: (01:09:03)
Yeah. I was thinking about coming out to the big payback, but this isn’t payback. This isn’t about that. That’s not what this was to me. That’s not what this training camp was to me. This was about progress. This was about prosperity. This was about putting my family in the position we’re in now. It was a lot of things, but it wasn’t payback. That’s great. Now that the fights over and stuff like that, I’m glad I got him back. That’s cool. It makes for a great storyline and it feels good, but that wasn’t the driving force of this.
Speaker 19: (01:09:32)And your career has had a lot of peaks and a lot of valleys. Where do you rank this win on your list of victories?
Dustin Poirier: (01:09:42)
It’s up there, especially finishing a guy who never been finished like that. It’s up there, man. Touching that UFC interim belt was so important to me and putting my hands on the undisputed world title before this is all said and done is what I want to absolutely do, man. But this is a big win.
Speaker 19: (01:10:07)
And I know you’re still taking in everything or whatever, but ideally, have you thought about when you’d like to come back? Because obviously you only fought once last year.
Dustin Poirier: (01:10:19)
I don’t know what’s next, honestly. I got to get home, speak to Dana, speak to the UFC. See what’s making sense. But I can guarantee I won’t be fighting Michael Chandler. They can do whatever they want with the division. I don’t really care. But if something happens that makes sense, then we’ll do it.
Speaker 19: (01:10:36) Thank you, man.
Speaker 20: (01:10:37)
Dustin. Here. In front of you on your right. Here. Before the fight, Mike Brown, your coach, said that sometimes you are kind of an emotional fighter. And I would like to understand if it was hard for you during this fight with Conor, especially at the end of the first round, you’ve got some blows, but you got composure. But then at the second round, you kind of flipped the coin and got some speed and got the knockout. How was the process for you to deal with emotions inside the octagon with Conor?
Dustin Poirier: (01:11:15)
Tonight is one of the best I’ve ever felt, honestly. I was emotionless, I was an assassin, and I was here to execute. I was locked in, man. Locked and loaded. I felt nothing. I felt very focused. It was a great feeling. Like I said, I didn’t enjoy the warming up. I didn’t enjoy two weeks of sitting in a hotel room. But damn, when I let that dog out and I get in there and I perform, I can scrap, man. And I know I can. And it feels good. But there was no emotion.
Speaker 20: (01:11:49)And you’re already talking about Chandler, that he doesn’t deserve-
Dustin Poirier: (01:11:53)
Yeah. That’s not even my position to be. I just been putting in the work. That’s why I’m sitting here feeling like I can talk about it, because I’ve been in the division and in the UFC for a long time, fighting the best of the best of the best. No disrespect to him. He seems like a good husband, a good father, speaks well, has a lot of respect, carries himself very well. Nothing but respect for him. It’s not a knock against him. It’s just my feelings towards the division and the sport. You know what I mean? I feel like I lost to Khabib. I came out and put on a fight of the year for you guys, got my hand raised against the top five opponent after that. Then I come in here and Khabib doesn’t want to come back, and I knock out one of the biggest fights you can get, I knock this guy out too. Could be reiterate. He doesn’t want to fight anymore. Dude, I’m the champ. I’m not going fight some, and like I said, respect to Chandler, fight a new guy to the UFC who just beat a guy who was coming off a loss that I just beat for the belt. That’s not exciting to me.
Speaker 20: (01:12:57)And what would you say about Oliveira, which has-
Dustin Poirier: (01:13:02)
I think he has as more, because I’ve been watching that guy for 10 years in the UFC, two different weight classes. He’s fought the best of the best, over and over again. And he’s been knocked down and got up time and time again. He’s proven himself and he’s proven what mixed martial arts and perseverance and what believing in yourself is. I respect that. Not that I don’t respect Michael Chandler. I just think there’s more work for him to do, to come in here and beat a guy that I just beat.
Speaker 20: (01:13:33)
And last one for me. We are always talking about how different you are six years after the first fight. What would you say about the Conor? Did you saw any difference inside the octagon of the first Conor from this one?
Dustin Poirier: (01:13:55)
That first one was so long ago. Maybe that’s just my growth too. I felt his presence less, his aura less. I just saw another fighter tonight. I think the first time I was kind of a deer in the headlights, you can say. This time, I was just fighting another man, another man who bleeds just like me, and I knew that.
I like it. Dana was here a little bit earlier. He said he spoke to Khabib. It doesn’t look like Khabib is going to come back right now. Are you okay with that? And if so, it seems like Chandler would probably be the fight for the title, you and him. Does that make sense to you?
Dustin Poirier: (01:03:13)
No, it does not. Respect to Chandler. Great win over a guy. But to come in and beat a guy I just beat and get a title shot, dude, I’ve been in, what is this? 27, 28 fights in the UFC, trying everything, find the toughest of the toughest guys to get my hands on gold. He should fight Charles Oliveira or something. Let Chandler and Charles Oliveira go at it. That doesn’t really interest me at this point. I’m going to sell hot sauce if that’s the case.
Speaker 17: (01:03:39)
Last thing for me. I guess they were saying on the broadcast that you went over to Cormier in the broadcast and you said, “I don’t even like this. I don’t like this anymore.” What was that about?
Dustin Poirier: (01:03:48)
I just felt like in the locker room, I just felt flat. I mean, I’m damn good at it. But I just felt flat and I just felt really calm. I don’t know. It’s hard to say, but that’s it exactly. I don’t really like this anymore. I don’t know.
Speaker 17: (01:04:08)Are you done?
Dustin Poirier: (01:04:11)
We’ll see. I mean, dude, I’ve got so many ass whoopings left to handout. I feel like I’m just hitting my prime and just putting everything together. My body and my mind are finally on the same wavelength. And just turned 32 this week. We’ll see what happens, man. I don’t know. Only part I liked was the fight, this whole last two weeks. So I don’t know if that answers the question or draws more questions. But I didn’t enjoy the process these last two weeks. The only part I liked was fighting.
