house this is like mainstream Super Bowl commercials and stuff like that I would like to say thank you very much to [Applause] Dustin it’s incredible but it’s a testament to my work and the big fights that I’ve had along my whole career L Damon Dustin porier his career has been absolutely exceptional oh Miller’s wobbly he’s wobbly while taking on a murderer row of UFC Talent oh big hook p is forced to cover up Dustin forier has been considered the best lightweight in the world big knee by P hurt but ultimately what makes him so special is his ability to be in these tough fights the big moments that is it Dustin porier he is a top of the food chain fighter top of the food chain athlete there’s no quit in this man Dustin porier by knockout sometimes I sit back and think about all the stuff that I’ve done and been doing it long enough I have 50 fights oh there it is and Dustin porier with all the skills and those victories is a Bonafide star big fight after big fight I’ve seen a lot oh oh big left from right oh my godier has knocked out conter McGregor Dustin porier is a certified UFC Legend nothing means more to Dustin porier than winning the championship tandler in trouble oh that looks on there’s the the only goal left for me to achieve in UFC is to get the Undisputed belt wrapped around my waist in 2019 porier faced Max Holloway oh that’s right from porier for the interm lightweight title oh oh he heard him again Dustin porier put on the performance of his career after the max fight we tried to unify the belts with khabib porier with a big right hand khabib now on the retreat up against the fence outstanding control by Nago medov now transitions to the back of Dustin porier Nago medov under the chin there’s the tap and certainly not at all the way Dustin porier drew it up tonight it’s been a long road I’m proud of everything I’ve accomplished in this sport I have a lot of tread left on the tires the Undisputed title would once again elude him at UFC 269 it’s under the neck he Charles Ola maintains the throne I was heartbroken you know I I thought I was going to be the Undisputed world champion Po’s reputation and Relentless drive to stay in contention put him in a position to fight for the coveted BMF belt his lightweight Legacy is entrenched albeit unfinished poier we’ll try to go up 2-0 in his series with Justin gatei another Bonafide Elite and former UFC interim champion and one who seemingly has improved a ton in the 5 years since that first encounter I want that belt Man Dustin poier has been consistently in this octagon in the toughest fights fighting the best guys winning and losing rebuilding himself and put himself back in the championship hunt BMF fight underway oh that shot from gatei got through oh o good straight left there by Dustin gai’s cut he got stung [Music] [Music] I appreciate you guys thanks for everything you do man I wanted my 30th Pro win I wanted that belt you know submitted in history don’t enough Legacy it’s all good though after the last gate fight I was in a dark place mentally cuz I was kind of at a Crossroads 35 years old I got knocked out how will I come back are people going to write me off where am I at in my career he’s been in championship fight after championship fight he’s one of the biggest stars in the UFC but now he would seem to not have much Direction it was some of the toughest months that I’ve ever had in my life look he’s Elite he’s at that level right there it’s so close and I just took a deep look at myself and when I fall short of greatness when I set this big goal and I don’t accomplish it I usually set another big goal and just get right back to work two of the best lightweights in the world are ready to engage and we will find out tonight if Ben won is ready for prime time as he takes on Dustin porier I wanted to toss myself in that fire and we had this guy been while St Den who was on his way up who beat a bunch of people he is absolutely one of the most ferocious men to ever set for in the octagon and there’s something about a man who’s been to war there’s a difference in them and you see that difference in benois [Music] senon victory victory baby go and it just made sense to me when I look at my career I’m like let me fight this young man and see what happens and see if I still got it the King of Lafayette Louisiana is the most accomplished UFC fighter to have never realized Undisputed golden Glory if he can beat Ben was anony he’s going to be right back on that track [Applause] [Music] f it was a tough first round for me I put myself in some bad positions and S is just in your face the entire time nice elbow from Sant jumping Guillotines oh yeah gutin Dustin’s got a really good gutin and it’s early being on bottom looking for an arm arm late in the round porier shakes off that noise one round down stick to the game plan you’re giving this guy too much respect he is not on your level okay tighten up no more but boy that second round got him and now he lands up oh he he them back again though he’s going for it again oh s Captain porier has done it by in round two I missed a bounce back this what I do you’re a top contender in this division you fought this guy who’s a young hungry lion Hold Your Position and lose it man that’s the nature of the beast that’s what we do I’m always one big win away from a title shot I knew that if I got there I can get there again June 1st Newark New Jersey pay-per-view Main Event Islam versus porier and here I am it feels good I uh I’m good at this I’m good at [Music] this ahead of his UFC 302 title fight against Dustin porier lightweight champion Islam mahv has assembled his team at the Russian Olympic Training Center in klat countless Russian Champions have honed their craft at the state-of-the-art facility akin to his home in the mountains of dagistan it provides the perfect environment for mahv to make his preparations I’m born in the M I live in the mtime that’s why kiss and this training center it’s my second home all Olympic Champions training here before first time when I came to the Olympic Center they don’t have the cage I asked the director put the cage because we need cage for the sping and now I have everything here for the victory with the support of his training Network Islam’s everpresent coach habibov is once again overseeing operations we train here in Kos because very high altitude here at least atast this is very good for condition this is first second you stay away from everything what you have in dagistan it’s sometime when you very famous like Islam for example like myself it’s very hard to be at home you know it’s like so many people around you country and that’s why we move here here is like we have everything we have to sleep train eat repeat every day the team the people who support you this is most important things you have to complete all it’s make you a champion I’m training so hard I hope you’re doing same be ready my [Music] friend abb’s guide and wisdom have been invaluable in Islam’s Journey thus far and will once again play a huge role as they prepare to face a common opponent I already defeat Dustin por almost 5 years old and if people going to ask then that time and now did he make big change or something no no I don’t think so everybody know dusting game because this guy many years in this Sport and he fought always same it’s not secret he have good boxing he use his boxing that’s why I have to be ready Islam is better than him almost in everywhere at the famed American top team facility in Florida the Challenger Dustin pory prepares for his third Undisputed UFC title fight with longtime coach and former we Champion Mike Brown partner up let’s go let’s go the Genesis of this partnership dates back to Po’s first octagon [Music] appearance the diamond por my debut in the UFC Mike Brown actually fought on the card Mike Brown he’s a special individual so that was cool to see and then I came here to South Florida to American top team this is okay first go is going to be front headlock position starting in the front head first go Mike was still an active fighter at the time that he was transitioned into coaching in 2012 I had my last fight and that’s when he came he was driven he was hungry keep it keep it keep it keep going keep going we were good drill partners and our skill sets complimented one another very well perfect that’s why we connected well Mike Brown is one of the main guys in my Camp right now he knows a lot when it comes to wrestling there you go he knows how athletes think and when we need to rest and and what we’re going through preparing for battle that take his word whatever he says I run with it and and I listen to [Music] him I had like kind of the strong wrestling style he’s tring to Circle right try to block he had more of like striking BJJ style so he added some size and strength developed his wrestling skills quite a bit oh Po got him there oh man lot of damage here and control oh big left hand Land by porier porier continues to land there are great coaches out there who who’ve never put on a pair of gloves and fought somebody in their life back to the fence going through fight week with a coach who had some big fights it’s good to go through with somebody who understands oh he just got clipped oh another huge right hey level change level change put him on his back and he’s got it and this is what Mike Brown has been calling for for three rounds we connected on many levels hands high tight de and I think we kind of were on on the same wavelan Dustin’s looking to close the show here that’s what give us a strong bond and kept us together so long Mike Brown has cornered Dustin porier for 25 of his 30 UFC [Applause] bounce this is a lightweight unification about tonight including the crushing loss in his first title fight against AB Nago medov Nago medov under the chin there’s the C complete dominance from khabib in that fight but the memory of that loss still looming the pair prepared to take on a similar challenge with the successor to khabib’s lightweight Legacy Islam and khabib have similar Styles I got to have a bit of understanding of the pressure the strength and the style of wrestling that those guys have oh he hurt him fast double leg absolutely incredible the way he dominates people in the grappling it’s kind of a little bit of serendipity here cuz now I’m fighting his Protege once again for the world title if you fall forward okay that’s not so bad right but if I go back it’s a big pop khabib showed us you know where we had some holes we’ve worked on it and those holes are patched we’re working on anti- wrestling and getting back to our feet that’s no secret Dustin will put him away there you go there you go this will just be the cherry on top of an unbelievable career one of the best careers I think the sports seen nobody’s more deserving nobody has paid the dues more than Dustin P it’s his time a Relentless drive for competitiveness and winning is a common trait found in those who excel in sports this Rings true for UFC lightweight champion Islam [Music] mahat and coach UFC Hall of Famer [Music] habibov when’s team play soccer with my team I put in my team the pressure I told them if we won I give you guys something or money or something because I always want to one beat my team in the socer the last three time but in this game I with [Music] him because of that I was very happy today is a history we beat team amazing for everybody just game but for our team this is the fight today everyone for the Challenger Dustin porier consistency is key easy work as he prepares for another Elite opponent golden with this close coaching Circle Dustin definitely got advantages in the Striking department and Islam knows that his boxing is amazing he’s got great footwork good balance can knock you out with either hand Islam’s going to try to get Dustin to the ground there’s no doubt about it we’ll see if he feels game enough to exchange with Dustin but I have doubts I’m at my best physically and mentally I just feel really good really confident and I know I can finish anybody in the world at 155 lbs oh my goodness I really believe in my skill set and the techniques that I’ve developed over 17 years of fighting I just feel like I’m gifted I find ways to win in the chaotic moments I know it seems crazy but that’s where I feel the best that’s where I do my best work when I’m an underdog when my back’s against the wall when bullets are flying when blood’s flowing that’s where I find a way to win I’m also a realist I’m 35 how many more times would I have to put myself in position again it’s safe to say this is my last shot at becoming the champion of the world oh he taged him with that left this is a chance to say I did it I did what I said I was going to do when I was 18 years old it’s a personal thing it’s not for the fans it’s not for the Hall of Fame it’s for me and my wife to hug and say you really did it you crazy all the ups and downs over the last 17 years all the lessons I’ve learned KN nearly out at UFC 302 I’m going to knock Islam makev out and become the world champion I prepare myself for the tough fight Dustin is the legend he beat many many top fighters my style it’s bad for him my wrestling condition my grappling every moment every second I will look for the Finish Dustin is a good name for my I prepare something special for him oh kick from a inside three rounds I will finish

here and we all believe in you we all believe you can win this fight and he looks up at me I just remember him just like snapping out of it and he goes to the death coach isra lot of the- 675 betting favorite at close jeez the data we were collecting on Izzy was to put him on the barricade put him on the back and right away we worked on how Izzy will fade and check hook and he’ll open his chest up and that’s a lot of his movement that’ll be the indicator will be this when Shawn saw him open that right hand beat him down the middle and that’s what ended up sitting him down a huge for Sean Strickland adna back to his feet World cires out a major moment early for the underdog right then and there I remember going in the corner and looking at him I said hey ain’t no Boogeyman now is he

title defense to the death accepting The Challenge from streaking South African Powerhouse Drake is dup Drake draus will try to overwhelm you with activity draus is constantly just putting something out there there it is draus with a blitz he’s getting closer and closer that jab is just peering draus and Sean stricklin is trying to give it to him right now the forecast was for a war and that is what they got baby [Applause] still I wanted the Striking I wanted the damage look at the guy’s face up at a cut look at his face look like got hit by a truck just so for the record is there some people that think I lost the fight I thought Sean won the fight live I Had It uh two to2 going into the last round and I thought uh Strickland won the last round did I not say that well bull but when he comes to close decisions like that I’m not going to say cry about it man we got to move on we got to go on to the next fight that’s what our focus is on [Music] looking to disrupt Strickland’s title Ambitions is Brazilian Juggernaut Paulo Costa his LOF the UFC Championship aspirations spawned over a decade ago when the Octagon descended on his hometown in 2012 UFC come to my city belant and I take the opportunity to watch live these guys are legends nice inside low kick oh he heard a bad oh my goodness after event finished everybody leave we still there I just look for the cage just thinking I will be there then I fought in Brazilian event and I become a middleweight champion and I defend my belt [Music] and then UFC pick me up [Applause] the he is the most terrifying Contender ever I’m a vis Fighter the fight can finish at any time oh he is hitting here with BS sou Americans are great Fighters and we want to show how tough we are Hall’s in trouble Co teing off on how it me goes is put my name on the history of the UFC that’s what I promise oh big head shot I will entertain everyone I want my chance to prove I am their [Applause] Champion a blistering five-fight win streak saw Costa rise to a title shot in 2020 knock although unsuccessful in his first attempt at UFC gold a string of impressive performances against the division’s upper echelon this kept him in contention oh beautiful spinning attack from Costa with another former champion in his sights Costa looks to insert his name into the title pitch once more I always change for the title that’s why I want fight Shane Strickland I know one more Victory I will be there this is a go I must [Music] [Music] get ahead of his UFC 302 fight with Paulo Costa former middleweight champion Shan Strickland once again prepares at extreme Couture but the team that took him all the way to the title in 2023 from the very beginning the hard edged culture of the renowned Las Vegas [Music] gym perfectly aligned with Strickland’s fighting ethos I really need to clean my lack for you guys get a little up in here and allowed his ability and character to flourish the older days here to shrink bour chaos as you can guess Sean would have fit in very well every practice was a fight I think Shawn had that same sort of ADD ude that preceded him with the guys that were in here before Swit new goty top so kind of keep that tradition alive I’ve seen Shawn evolve as a fighter particularly in trusting us as coaches and the team work TI Go keep going in the beginning he had this mentality of that he had to do it all by himself minut one minute go on top but once he began to trust the guys around him I think he was really open to allow us in Swit I think that really helped develop him better as a fighter once he kind of felt like we weren’t going to abandon him that he felt like he had a home then he started seeing his leadership come out next time go take his spot yeah he put your leg straight then he started like helping the team more and helping the training Partners more prior to that it was just always about himself and I think now you could call him one of the best teammates in the room all right 50 seconds for going about 70% as a fighter when you step on the mat every moment you are trying to accomplish something for your future warm up the joints warm up the elbows I always tell guys if you come Spar and maybe you take a round off or you don’t give it your all you’re not letting yourself down that’s open you’re letting your wife down letting your girlfriend down letting your kid down you are only letting yourself down when you come to our practice and you don’t train like a man two let’s go I demand so much for my training partners that our group now understands that nice good Circle to your left back to the center fire to respect me because I do what I say yes 1 three I’m telling you to land if I tell you to walk through fire I’ll walk with you wo that was good if I tell you to break your arm to win we’ll get guess what I’ll break my arm away nice I love my team so much my team is like my family St just call it up Danny let’s go three 1 2 3 with an earshot of extreme [Music] Coture holoc Costa Rees himself for UFC 302 at the UFC performance Institute enlisting the help of two former Olympic boxers to help the Brazilian prepare for strickman striking heavy style I meet goon p in ufcpi I was killing myself in the train and he taught me how to be more [Music] efficient B is a boxing coach as well same line age than K and he was olymp as well so we are just trying to mix the styles to get the best point of each [Music] [Music] one [Music] [Music] for Shan knows how to fight that style he has very good jab he moved forward he knows how to fight on his very particular stance he knows how to fight very well to have a great boxing coach with my son we help a lot especially with him because he’s basically a boxing fight and F MMA so we have a good strategy to beat him hey you guys on the clock hey you guys are on the clock let’s go you ready for five rounds Harley CH Co is a great opponent he’s a dangerous man step step there you go be honest strike for strike power for power they’re actually kind of the same one two I think Sean just has that little bit more of grit in him one2 one two liver he has a great MMA IQ he’s been doing this since he was 17 whatever you want so I think he knows how to make those little adaptations in the moment bam there you go and he really knows how to push oh yes love it when to let off the gas when to put it into sixth gear it is Sean Strickland’s world we are just limited it the guy has amazing boxing got unbelievable cardio you see 302 man it’s going to be a blood bath the he is a born fighter I think that me and CA were going to go in the deep water and almost feels like sea is playing with those food a little bit it’s going to be a 25 minute War big right from Strickland I think we’re both going to be looking at each other in that third fourth round thinking we got one more round shck apply a world of pressure but mentally as always I’m ready to die for what I want and I think I’m going to pick him apart one of the scariest guys to ever compete in the middleweight division this is a knockout artist who throws bombs I wanted to fight him specifically because he’s a great fighter great match and he’s number one a Relentless Destroyer this man is a physical specimen this fight can lead me to the tie again this guy hell on will I’m more experienced now I reach the place that I wish before as a man as a athlete oh beautiful spinning attack this is the time this is it and have C32 I be Shan by knockout it’s a battle for title contention between two middleweight main states setting
