Islam is unreal man. Guy might be one of the most complete fighters ever in the game

[AdamAlq]

Islam’s striking was insane and Dustin’s takedown defense was even more insane! It’d be a shame to see the diamond retire, he’s still an absolute beast!

[lukemurray]

Even when Islam don't look great, he still is that good and gets the finish. Incredible.

[weenfain]

Been watching MMA for almost 30 years now. Islam is just one of those special fighters. So happy to watch the sport evolve and fighters along with it.

[taufikhafzi]

With staph infection. Makachev still winning.

[nananyantakyi]

Islam showed class, I love it when a champion defends his belt with a submission

[sgx]

without submission it was already 5-0 for islam. Casuals just don't like the take down and controlling. Look at the stats. Islam outstrikes him too. This is impressive. Best in the world.

Ps: why all the Dagi haters suddenly fall for the distance win rather than finish? 🤔

[vumazwesiziba]

Not just outstruck, HE LITERALLY OUTBOXED POIRIER

[mrperfect]

Awesome card. Didnt want to see anyone lose 😢. Im a louisiana boy myself and i hope Dustin doesnt retire just yet. Islam is a beast as we already knew.

[alex]

I’m still laughing at a few minutes before this, right after Dustin’s interview it sounded like DC was starting to cry then you just hear him say, “you can’t come into the booth and try to choke me” 😂😂 and then you hear Khabib say, “how are you?” Right in the middle of the broadcast hahaha khabib is hilarious

[palskee]

The fact that Islam faced a prime Charles and stole the belt from him easily by making him tap, beat a prime Volk twice with a knockout in the second fight, and then outstruck Dustin Porier on the feet before eventually winning this one all in one streak is completely insane! The dudes an alien or cyborg!

[Daddy-dobn]

This is as dangerous as Dustin will be with a last chance infront of his daughter. Islam is a beast.

[amirulost]

The only reason people think Islam not enough is because we compare him to khabib

[for]

Dustin made Islam work hard for the takedowns that’s about it… granted, hard to do but poirier never got Islam in any real trouble.

[alcottdevalte]

Islam is the best and must be embraced by everyone.

[TechRide.]

Dustin: "You’re going to sleep"
Also Dustin: *taps*

[Allah_is_the_greatest_god]

Islam outbox the best boxer and people still crying, look at numbers Islam landed more punches than Dustin in standing and hurt him, so where's those haters who say Dustin gonna knock him out 😂😂😂😂

[sy]

Islam looked slow and sluggish compared to normal, looks like the staph infection reports were true. Still dominated and probs wouldve put poirier away in the 2nd or 3rd if he was normal, he a beast
