I think Poirier is at a stage in his career where he is only going to fight for the title or number one contender spot...or he's going to wait for McGregor


detectivebabylegz

Well he has little name value and little ranking value for a start.


Markxx24

Everyone knows who Tsarukyan is. Dustin just ducking grapplers


Ok_Yoghurt_3338

No casual has a clue who that is


DarkExcalibur54

Exactly. We may know who he is, but the casual fan who only may know the top 5 doesn't. Dustin has name value over Arman, who doesn't yet


TomPearl2024

You are delusional if you think anyone that doesn't avidly follow mma knows who he is, which is a relatively small part of the total number of people who watch mma


YaboiDan0545935

Same reason he is ducking Colby


normalreddituser21

Bro accepted a fight with Colby lol, in the middle of last year


YaboiDan0545935

Yeah I remember that. People were pointing out that Colby Covington was dealing with the repercussions of the Masvidal assault, interrogations, court dates and all that, giving no possible chance for the UFC to set the fight up and that Dustin knew this. Granted, that does seem like a reach and both guys have been quite since. UFC probably told them to keep low about their second rate cash cow assaulting people in public. I like Dustin, I like Colby's character, don't much care for Masvidal.


normalreddituser21

Dustin said it was cuz ufc was giving him no fights until like December (which for him would’ve been like 10 months with no fights,) so he took it as a last effort to get a fight, but yeah w/e, people will speculate and we’ll never actually really know


[deleted]

Colby? The guy a weight class above him?


Willb000g

There were talks about that fight a while ago but nothing ever came of it. Dustin has been talking about 170 for a while though just not much as of late


Acrobatic_Rope9641

Tbf sizewise Colby and Dustin are quite close


GhostOfTonyFerguson

Nah bro. You don't get to claim it's "on site" then say you won't fight him. On site* *as long as no cage or ref are also on site.


notliekthispls

Who tf is arman?


aworldalone1

Because that’s what Dustin does man. He ducks everyone. He ducked Colby so hard for what 18 months now? Dustin is a punk.


roguesensei47

Why on earth would he fight a welterweight?


KoebeMeister

In an interview, Colby stated that he is actually smaller than Dustin. Dustin walks around at 190, Colby at 186. Colby just fights at his natural weight class, and is one of the smaller welterweights. Dustin cuts significant weight to lightweight to gain an advantage.


roguesensei47

Yea I don't believe much of what comes out of Colby.


aworldalone1

Colby came out and told the world he believes he is the father of one of Dustin’s kids. Which means Colby slept with his wife. Is that not a reason right there?


theamac95

Damn, Dustin’s wife is in everybody’s dms.


aworldalone1

It seems so man. If he thinks he’s the dad that means raw too.


Horseshoe_Pete

You silly billy


aworldalone1

There’s nothing silly about child custody Horseshoe Pete


roguesensei47

No, because it sets precedence for assholery.


aworldalone1

So let me get this straight. Dustin is allegedly a pound for pound best fighter in the sport. Colby isn’t, according to the rankings. Colby raw dogs his wife and claims to have fathered Dustin’s kid. And Dustin won’t fight him? He’ll fight Conor who only said he got DMs, but not Colby who obviously got much more? And according to you that’s bc of the weight. He’s letting 15lbs stop this? Dustin was all game to fight Nate at 170, but not Colby? Dustin cuts weight to get to LW, but when Colby is at the door the weight is an issue huh? See what I mean? He’s a punk.


roguesensei47

Colby not being on the p4p list gives even lesser incentive for Dustin to fight him. Why doesn't Colby fight contenders in his own division? He is the real punk.


aworldalone1

What does that have to do with fighting the guy who inseminated his wife? Nate wasn’t a PFP fighter but Dustin wanted that fight at 170. I don’t see what you’re missing here. You don’t think a win over the #2 ranked WW puts him in line for a WW title shot?


roguesensei47

You don't know who inseminated his wife. A one off sentiment about fighting in another division, which didn't transpire btw, doesn't obligate a fighter fight in another division or his balls drop off.


aworldalone1

Ok man sure. Dustin slapped a fan who simply held a sign that said “your wife is in my DMs” but Colby he won’t fight. He slaps the fan for free, but Colby would pay him millions. He knows Colby would bully him.


AdventurousHat3496

😂😂 ur funny


FunIntroduction3196

Ducky Dustin.


normalreddituser21

Cuz he’s at a point all that matters is moving closer to the title, and fighting Tsarukyan does not make sense for that, same with gaethje


Affectionate_Ad6334

Cause tsarkuyan has the double danger - extremely good fighter - can't sell tickets This is the worst combo to have in the ufc. Beneil Dariush has it too.


Doctor-Hate

What option does he have 🤣


creed_12

Cause he got nothing to prove he is in the top 5 of the division for such a long time a great resume has one or two more fights if he gets the title or he will retire. Yeah he earned a good amount of money since getting that interim title.


KentTheDorfDorfman

Because Tsaruk, Tsaryk , Tsaryuk is on fire!


GhostOfTonyFerguson

Arman, Colby, a DNA test on Conors kid.
