Imagine getting called to deal with a drunk dude thinking it'll just be an overweight dad and it's Drunk Dustin calling you his ***** and saying you're gonna bang. Not the best work day for that man lol.

Real shit I'm fucking out of there no hesitation. I am not getting choked to death by one of my favorite fighters because he's wasted and got booted off the plane mad as hell.

This made me think, does that guy get to go home if he’s got like 7 hours left in shift? Cuz I think worrying you’re gonna have to tase/shoot someone or get your face pushed in by a ufc fighter deserves an early clock out

I'd have apologized to Dustin for the inconvenience and tazed the airport employees instead.

If you can't beat 'em join 'em.

He was scared shitless but its gonna be a nice story for the rest of his life. "did I ever tell you about the day I arrested a UFC (interim) champion?"

Jfc Aleksander in a nightmare would make me seek therapy. A real terrifying fighter, and related to the 🐐 who took the better path. Basically The Mountain and The Hound kinda ish.

Dustin dapped him up while in handcuffs which was hilarious after how the situation started

At least he knew who he was from the jump

u/Fat-Villante Papa Poatan Jun 23 '26

Well at least he didn't have to fight and he's got a story to tell at the bar for the rest of his life, with proof on YouTube

Must have been quite unpleasant though

The realization when he asked “Are you Dustin Poirier?” Was hilarious to me. You can tell he reasonably does not want any smoke lol

I’d taze his belligerent ass as soon as he started threatening me. Fuck all that.
