@Mike Goodwalk you are several years into early adult hood at 23. Dustin could have graduated or have been close to graduating college at that age. He was not a boy he was a young man. He looks more or less the same, he just grew some hair. The pictures of him when he was overweight look completely different to how he looks here and now.

Dustin should've been fighting for 155 belt against Oliveira but picked the trilogy instead. . If he wins he's next in line no doubt. If McGregor loses i want him to still be active & not to take a long period of time off like usual. I would like to see a fight that got canceled due to injury. McGregor vs RDA. Crazy to think if RDA never got hurt, Diaz wouldn't be the guy everybody loves to watch fight & thats the honest truth.
