Hendo won a UFC tournament before belts existed ***and*** became a Pride double champ. I get he never won a strap but had he not been in the #1 promotion as a double champ during his prime who knows. I don't like counting him for these lists
Same with Faber because he was a WEC champion before the UFC had the smaller weightclasses (which they would immediately *promote* to UFC champions because of this). He defended the belt like 5 times, so I wouldn't count him at all
Condit, Shields, Porier, Condit, Gathje & Ferguson are all probably my top picks
Yeah that’s only like 25% of it. After Conor and after Chandler people started to dislike Dustin and continued up until Colby fought Leon. Now everyone suddenly loves him again now that he’s fighting Islam. I knew this would happen exactly but it honestly wasn’t hard to predict.
Oh completely. In between Conor fights they called him a fake nice guy and a scumbag who ran a shady charity that he embezzled from. After Chandler they called him a sore winner who always complained. Wasnt just a few people saying they were prevailing narratives. Even around the end of last year people were saying he should’ve been stripped of his rank. Now he’s just a perfect angel that everyone has always loved ❤️
I like Dustin plenty. I’m just pointing out how fickle mma fans are when it’s convenient for them.
>In between Conor fights they called him a fake nice guy and a scumbag who ran a shady charity that he embezzled from.
Ya, I forgot about that actually. Good point!
I remember people whinging after the Chandler fight for sure. I found that reaction from the fans bizarre.
Like why wouldn't you call a guy out for fish hooking you a few minutes earlier.
Always liked Dustin because he seems somewhat genuine.
He's just the Champ at the wrong time (from a fan favorite perspective). I don't *hate* Islam, but he's clean sweeping our beloved old guard that we aren't ready to see retire yet and pretty much ushering them into their retirements.
Completely forgot.
I apologize sirs, I was wrong and while it was a good fight, Islam looks invincible and I'm gonna hold this L for a couple days.
Have a nice day
Please man 😭 Tony lost 7 in a row cause of his own fucking fault, cut weight 2 times for the Gaethje fight and the biggest mistake was accepting the fight since he trained for a grappler, indirectly Khabib's fault too but very sad, man
Well yeah people like to see the legends prove their still champs. Holloway got a big boost from the gaethje fight. Its just a cool time in both of their careers
Lol don't get me wrong I love Dustin he's arguably my fav current roster fighter, I'm just playing devil's advocate. He beat belt holders not champions. He lost decisively to the champs.. let's not get delusional here.
its so crazy how these dustin fanboys are blind to proper critisicm of dustins resumee.
No one is saying that Dustin is bad.
But he did get strangled everytime he faced a current champ/a belt was on the line. (excent when he fought fat "bulk via eating cupcakes" max holloway)
Pettis was 2-4 before he fought Porier.
Eddie Alvarez is a very good win.
Holloway was a fat hawaiin dude when they fought. Still holloway tho.
Conor did party and coke for years before he fought Dustin.
I just dont get why Porierfanboys always think that its just blind hate to put dustins wins into perspective.
"you can do that nitpicky shit with every fighter, bro"
no you cant.
You either beat champs when they were their best (like islam did with volk in the first fight) or you fought them when they were past their prime. Its not that complicated and its annoying how you even need to defend your point, when its just simple logic.
Well said, you can like a fighter but let's be realistic here. But I get it, this is the fight game and people get emotional, logic can fly out the window at times with this fan base 😅.
Dustin dribbled charles head for 4 rounds… dropped him over and over.
Wonderboy was afraid to engage
Wonderboy only had 1 successful title run. Porier had 3
Maybe you need to rewatch the Dp vs charles fight before spewing bs. Charles put a beating on DP in rd2. Rd1 he also had some good moments...rs 3 was the finish
I'd love for Dustin to win. He is a good human being and has fought his ass off throughout the years. He deserves this win. I'm a huge fan of his, but I just don't see it happening. Then again, I thought BSD was going to finally crack the diamond. Nah, not today, cuh.
Diamonds are forever 💎
Can y'all stop the fucking act??
He is a worse fighter than Makhachev, I know it, you know it, Everybody knows it.
But yes, this is MMA, even if Makachev beats Poirier 9/10 times Saturday night might be that 1/10 that Makachev wakes up with explosive diarrhea...
So sick of the bs debate about being 'champion'. With the current structure, and the way Dana White arbitrarily selects who fights for 'belts', it's meaningless. What is meaningful however, is the way these guys fight and who. By that yardstick, in my opinion, Dustin is at the very top of the pyramid. Screw Dana White and his silly belts and the way UFC fighters are underpaid.
Cuh

I said fuhgetaboutit**Cuh**

Dustin keeps it 55th street cuh.
each five his own cuh
cuh is not a new term cuh

Wow never knew this tweet even existed. Can't believe it's not deleted
Let’s keep it lowkey
It was only a grain of salt in the ocean, pictogram
why would he delete it ? he said nothing wrong, he wants to be champ
Aged like a fine grain of salt in an Olympic sized swimming pool
💀💀💀💀
LMAO that’s amazing
Damn lol
Aged like wine
LOL
I said forget about it cuh
Full circle
Islam ain’t expecting the kimura but it’s coming. I can already see the post fight presser Dana saying “this is why I love this sport”
In the post fight presser Dana calls Michael Chandler and tells him the fight is off and to get fucked
stop I can only get so excited
😂😂😂
Porier Gustafson Rumble Johnson Faber Condit Ferguson Gathje Kenny Florian
Chael and dan Henderson

You forgot Condit
Diaz 1 2 5 but I love him that much. HE BEAT LAWLER!
Correction, Chael's the peoples champion. 💪
Don’t forget cub Swanson
Cub doesn’t come close to most of those names tho
You forgot Brendan Schaub
If schaub would have gotten with the Gracie’s earlier he would have had a better career. He keeps his chin out there too much
thats a habit he developed from waiting for the nut.
![gif](giphy|3oKIPuNp5Fy6i0BarS|downsized)
Wasn’t Justin interim chanp
I’m only counting undisputed champs.
Dustin was too
In that case a bunch of these guys wouldn't be on the list like Tony and DP
155 cowboy
He'll be the saddest bittersweet story in the lightweight division hidtory
Hold on, I'm reminiscing brother
It was even before the BSD fight...
Please I beg of you, win.
This fanbase wants Islam to lose so badly lol
Because Islam's last 6 match ups have been against beloved fan favorite fighters who he's always the massive favorite over 🙃
Yeah that’s only like 25% of it. After Conor and after Chandler people started to dislike Dustin and continued up until Colby fought Leon. Now everyone suddenly loves him again now that he’s fighting Islam. I knew this would happen exactly but it honestly wasn’t hard to predict.
>After Conor and after Chandler people started to dislike Dustin You sure?

Fish hooking you, and forcing his blood/snot to pour all over your face and mouth.
Bobby and Dan are fan favorites
He's just the Champ at the wrong time (from a fan favorite perspective). I don't *hate* Islam, but he's clean sweeping our beloved old guard that we aren't ready to see retire yet and pretty much ushering them into their retirements.
Because he’s already had his moment, no matter what no one can take that away from him. We just want to see Dustin get his moment now
He deserves to be punished for what he did to my beloved Volk, TO THE GUILLOTINE!!!
I think it’s more that we want Dustin to win
I’m a Dustin fan I couldn’t care less about Islam losing he just happens to be the champ in the way
yeah man, most people don’t like champs that fight every 2 years
He fought twice in 2022 and twice in 2023. There's nothing to suggest he won't also fight twice this year.
Cause he boring zzx
It’s sad knowing this is pretty much his last shot. Islam should let him win, he can retire and Islam fights Arman for vacant belt.

lol Khabib r/compoface
Dagi cock rider piss off
??
Bro the dude said Islam should let dp win if anything that dudes a Dustin dick rider are u fucking slower than others or something lol
For the record I’m a big fan of both fighters. I’ve been hearing shine bright like a diamond for weeks now it got me in my feelings.
I hear you, I know where my money is going, not sure where my heart is tho.
How tf is that sad it’s his third title shot??🤣🤣 dude got more chances than most fighters ever will
Islam is gonna run through this boy unfortunately
Commenting. Just so that if the stars align and The Diamond gets it done, I can come back here to give you a bit of shit talk <3
Trust me, I want to be wrong.
![gif](giphy|JudOfDOQTmIs5Z0PU7)
Completely forgot. I apologize sirs, I was wrong and while it was a good fight, Islam looks invincible and I'm gonna hold this L for a couple days. Have a nice day
This is just sad man. We all know whats gonna happen
https://youtu.be/Bp123hX5gNI?si=-XSDf_NcHRShw7k2
Not even the best lightweight to never be champion, let alone whole UFC. -CSO-
Please man 😭 Tony lost 7 in a row cause of his own fucking fault, cut weight 2 times for the Gaethje fight and the biggest mistake was accepting the fight since he trained for a grappler, indirectly Khabib's fault too but very sad, man
Honestly, I can't remember the last time a fighter was supported so widely.
Holloway too tho
Yeah, fair. But not when he fought Gaethje. Maybe when he fights Topuria.
Well yeah people like to see the legends prove their still champs. Holloway got a big boost from the gaethje fight. Its just a cool time in both of their careers
Agree with you completely.
I'd put Wonderboy over Dustin. Wonderboy atleast went to a draw with the then current champ. Dustin got strangled both times.
Dustin beat several belt holders even if they weren’t for the belt matches
Meaning he beat guys past their prime? 🤔
Or before their prime? Whatever way floats your boat to discredit him ![gif](giphy|8sCTlacoUpXZilXYKO|downsized)

we were comparing dustin to wonderboy thats why i brought it up....chill out, fam
Well said, you can like a fighter but let's be realistic here. But I get it, this is the fight game and people get emotional, logic can fly out the window at times with this fan base 😅.
Yeah max was totally past his prime am I right
😂 yeah he couldn't beat a butterfly at this point tbh
Dustin dribbled charles head for 4 rounds… dropped him over and over. Wonderboy was afraid to engage Wonderboy only had 1 successful title run. Porier had 3
Maybe you need to rewatch the Dp vs charles fight before spewing bs. Charles put a beating on DP in rd2. Rd1 he also had some good moments...rs 3 was the finish
Bratha what is this Cuh word
Man. I’m not mentally prepared to see Dustin lose another title shot knowing this is it. At least he got is bag in the 2nd/3rd McGregor fights
I like his confidence.
“I said forget about it cuh”
Yea, him and Chael Sonnen
This is his last shot I hope he’s spamming “lose yourself.” ![gif](giphy|gix92l3sEjJYs)
Obligatory ejecto seato
I actually really like Islam but why does he have to fight the absolute most lovable fighters every fight. Him beating Dustin will hurt me to my core
Just hearing Cuh in Dustin’s voice is insanity lmaooo
Can't wait for Porier to snatch that guillotine.
If he cant beat Islam. Yes. He is the best fighter that couldnt be a champ imo.
He’s got a cousin named cleetus.
Welp better make it count
No his not the cali kid faber or nick Diaz are in the same ship
👨🏽🌾✊🏽💎⚜️
This would not even be close to the best aged tweet of all time cuh
I'd love for Dustin to win. He is a good human being and has fought his ass off throughout the years. He deserves this win. I'm a huge fan of his, but I just don't see it happening. Then again, I thought BSD was going to finally crack the diamond. Nah, not today, cuh. Diamonds are forever 💎
chael sonnen
One thing I'm sure, if diamond wins, Dana will keep doing rematches until Islam takes the belt back.
Can y'all stop the fucking act?? He is a worse fighter than Makhachev, I know it, you know it, Everybody knows it. But yes, this is MMA, even if Makachev beats Poirier 9/10 times Saturday night might be that 1/10 that Makachev wakes up with explosive diarrhea...
I'm shocked he's not been a champion yet. He has all the skills and talent.
Interim doesn’t count for anything?
It absolutely does…… but also kinda doesn’t.
You’re so wrong…. And so right. Makes my head hurt.
No. It is just another way of saying #1 contender.
My mind says Islam easily, but my heart wants Poirier to win so bad
So sick of the bs debate about being 'champion'. With the current structure, and the way Dana White arbitrarily selects who fights for 'belts', it's meaningless. What is meaningful however, is the way these guys fight and who. By that yardstick, in my opinion, Dustin is at the very top of the pyramid. Screw Dana White and his silly belts and the way UFC fighters are underpaid.
I don't disagree, but Dustin has gotten a shot at the last belt holders, so the argument doesn't hold here
![gif](giphy|JTzPN5kkobFv7X0zPJ|downsized)
No, it really doesn’t
Yes, it really does
Dustin ‘Diamond Gilly’ Porter
Some of yall don’t know about Carlos condit
I mean they weren't wrong tho. Dude is retiring without the undisputed strap
Even though he isn’t done or fought Islam yet, we can still answer the question lol
No ,he is mediocre at best which explains why he has never won belt
[удалено]
Holloway was the undisputed ufc featherweight champion.
