Izzy, choose me, let's chop it up about question mark kicks and manifestation. Much love to you champ! 🙏🏾💪🏾 ❤

I am from the UK and I am a huge fan! Not only on the talent and the style you produce in the octagon, but even outside the ufc. I used to be a fan of WWF back in the day and it’s almost like you bring that entertainment to ufc. It would be unreal to see this fight live but wherever does end up going, I pray they have a blessed and amazing experience 🙏 Thankyou Izzy

me too, he really reminded me of when vince said ni*** with booker t around, his all around racebaiting and ability to switch nationalities inspires me so much.

I just got to the USA from mexico 3 years ago, never been able to go to an UFC event, that's not a possibility right now, and I would love to witness history for once in my life🤜 Ps: thanks for inspiring me to be better, I got the gym, dance hustleing, and I'm becoming the best version of me. Legend

I’ve always watched UFC with my dad as a kid but I’ve just recently started really enjoying and watching with intent, and you stood out to me. The way you carry yourself, your mindset, you’re ability to live life the way YOU want to, as opposed to how others want you too are all things that I look up to you for. Ive been trying to convince my dad to attend a UFC event so we could enjoy one together, and this might be the perfect opportunity!! Thanks for all that you do Izzy!!

Moved to the states almost 5years and it has been rough. Had to recultivate habits and learn new things about myself. One thing learn about myself as a 30year old is that i loved mma. Your fights and stories describe my struggles and i take each challenge i face as a fight. You have been an inspiration to me and serve as my self care. Thank you

*Hey Izzy!* I've been a fan of yours since your fight with Derek Brunson. Since then, I've found your UFC journey inspiring! I fucking love how honestly you express yourself and how that shines through your skillset. Often, when I'm watching your fights, I feel like I have to go extra hard in what I'm doing to somehow give you my energy. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I ran a personal record the morning before your second UFC fight with Pereira. And the morning after watching you, I was so fucking pumped I ran it again!! Leading up to the fights, it's almost like I have to train to feel like I can give you the best of my energy. (Thinking about it, it sounds so wild, lol) Like most, I've been having a tough year, managing self-employment, family, and anxieties of an uncertain future. Following you and watching you overcome challenges in real time has given me genuine boosts in my own motivation. You've helped bolster my drive just by existing as best you can! My best mate and I are huge fans of yours. So, I'd love nothing more than to surprise him with tickets to Sydney straight from the man himself! It probably wouldn't hurt the old mental either, lol. After this year, a trip to Sydney to see you whoop some Afrikaan ass, would be a nice bow to the end of a lot of hard work. Either way, I'll be supporting you! Giving you all the energy I can☀️ 🙌☀️

Hello Israel, Samuel Kapansa here from Zambia 🇿🇲. The first time I came across you was when I watched a clip of you saying "I am ready to die", man that really got to me, and for a moment there I could see, you were not just talking about die for the fight but for what you stand for and what you are fighting for, your family, friends and what you stand to represent on the planet. I am a strong believer that mindset is everything, even in the game of MMA, honestly it takes a little bit of madness to go into the arena, because it's such a dangerous game but yet you walk in there with such conviction and a passion and belief of winning like the other guy wasn't training as well. I love your thinking and mindset, having a conversation with and watching you fight would mean the world. Learning from you would be priceless. All the best in your coming fight Champ.

I think I should attend your fight because I am not only a huge fan of you and your fighter mentality,but because of hearing your story and seeing you be yourself in the face of adversity brought me out of a depressive episode where I was feeling lost and down on myself. Seeing you fight and conduct yourself has been a true inspiration to take my happiness and destiny into my hands and be a better man. Peace and love to the whole team and I hope I get to meet all of you in person. STYLEBENDER FOREVA!!🏆🥇🙏🏽

Izzy I love how you're so authentic and unafraid to be yourself, it's really inspiring and I'd love to meet you in person and be able to say this to you in person and share that energy with you, big fan from India🙌

I don't have anything to say but thank you so much for being coming into this world. You're not only a best fighter but also very good speaker who inspired us from in so many ways. From you I've learned not to give up but to be consistent. Very all the best for your upcoming fight. Lots of Love from Nagaland!

Hey champ! Started jiu jitsu from watching you fight! You are an inspiration and a positive force to changing the lives of other people all over the world for the better! Always anticipating with excitement your new fight camp videos! Great production! Would be an honor to meet you in person and why not roll together (do some jiu jitsu training)!!

I went to Vegas to see 276 and it was my favorite sporting event ever. I went and saw 281 live at msg and I was devastated, but it just made watching 287 at home with my pops that much better. Truly unexplainable happiness. I still randomly tear up thinking of the magnitude of the moment. Love ya Israel

I’m a huge fan and a Live UFC event is the only sporting event I haven’t seen and it would be a blessing to watch you stylebend and derail Dricus in only a way Izzy can do it 👊🏽🔥

Hello Champ, Just wanna say a big Thankyou for not just the fights you put on but the interviews and the gems you drop on the socials on how to carry yourself. Really appreciate the lessons from Eugene too. coach student relationships should be what you guys have at CKB. Love the whole squad

I love the way you express yourself in your fights and find that it is similar to the way one would hold themselves as a person. Your case being creative, flamboyant but with an extremely close eye to the finer details similar to that of a painter creating a masterpiece! I was at 247 in the nosebleeds and to this day was one of the greatest memories of any sporting event I have been to in my whole life. Would fucking love to top that! Keep shining my g! Not to mention I'm a Melbournian who bought flights and hotels for myself and my mate on the Sunday morning but not being able to secure tickets because they sold out faster than Pereira's fastrack to the middleweight title 🤣

0:17 I remember watching my first UFC fight was UFC243 in Marvel Stadium, Melbourne. seeing you got the belt back in 2019 inspired me and you continue to inspire me with your fights, wins or losses. watching you live back in 2019 was an experience I will never forget and it would be an experience of a lifetime if I can get the chance to support you again in Sydney. Good luck champ!

Hey Israel, Hope this message finds you in high spirits and preparing for your next fight! I couldn't be more thrilled about the opportunity to see you in action, and I just had to reach out to let you know why. Back in November, I took up kickboxing, and it has been an exhilarating journey so far. Throughout this incredible adventure, you have been a huge inspiration to me. Your skill, dedication, and determination have shown me what's possible with hard work and passion. As a devoted fan, I never miss any of your fights, no matter the opponent. Even when you went head-to-head with Rob Whittaker, I was there, cheering you on despite being an Australian proud of your accomplishments. I'm also proud to rock my Engage merch, representing your excellence both inside and outside the octagon! I really love you and Volk to death. There was this thrilling opportunity to attend the Perth card to see you in the crowd, but sadly, my friends bailed on me at the last minute. It was tough to consider going alone, but I felt like it was a chance of a lifetime. Winning this opportunity would feel like the universe's way of correcting what went wrong and ensuring that I get to experience the best possible outcome. I can't wait to witness your skills up close and be a part of the electrifying atmosphere at your next fight. Your presence in the octagon is simply unparalleled, and I'm genuinely grateful for the chance to see you perform live. Thank you for being an inspiration and a role model for all of us aspiring kickboxers. Fingers crossed, and I hope to see you soon! Bonus points because I say A-DE-Sanya around my friend when talking about you. Even if you liked this message to know you’ve read it would mean the world. 🖤💪🏽🥺 Best regards

Love how you held your head high, never backed down and finally handled “Pereira block” when everyone was doubting your comeback. It’s a living philosophy of how to face obstacle in life. Thanks for the examples of your work and life. They are inspiration to us fans to also want to be hardworking to be able to enjoy successful results. One day I’ll meet you and see you fight, whether I’m picked or not😎

Need to see this fight live, you one of my favourite fighters and the fact you and Jon squashed the beef. Man makes me love you BOTH even more. GOATS! 🐐

Always been rooting/supporting everything you do. Such an inspiration to watch what you do in the octagon and even outside. Watching your videos always uplifts me after having a rough day. been subscribed always since you started your channel. 3. I was at Gila River arena in Arizona to watch you fight live and till this day has been my favorite moment I’ve experienced. I was able to catch you post fight at the after party and was able to chat it up with you. You and David are so genuine and real. Always respected and ever since that moment meeting you which was total honor

I love the camaraderie and love within the CKB Family. You have been a massive inspiration to me. To stay true to myself, to keep marching forward, to dare to be great and to go for something. Your 2nd UFC Fight against Pereira was the only sporting event in my life that I watched by myself and started screaming and throwing my arms up in the air. This was a victory for the people. You have changed me for the better as a man by being yourself, staying true to yourself and surrounding yourself with the right people. The entire concept of "Energy", feeling other people's energy, matching energy I have learned from you and use daily in my life. So thank you, Israel Adesanya, for your presence in this world. I would love to be invited to UFC 293 and witness your next successful title defense live, and vibe and exchange energy with you. Also 12:48 was freaking hilarious, I laughed my butt off at that. 😂

I dont know if you remember me, i asked you for a photo at UFC193. i noticed no one recognised you and you were by yourself just before the holm vs rousey fight. i finally worked up the courage to come ask for a photo after the ko and I said "you'll be in there soon" and you smiled and said "appreciate the love" ❤ it was the same for when UFC came to Auckland 2017. Now youre the face of UFC 🔥it would be epic to see you beat this guys ass front row 😂 #goizzy #pickme

This is so good. Absolutely awesome seeing Izzy and Jones be civil now…not just civil but get along well, and get along well naturally. So happy to see this

I don’t know what will make me deserving of going but I would certainly love to. I’ve been watching you fight since the beginning and I loved your style immediately. You’re my 2nd favorite fighter of all time, right behind Jon Jones, and I’m just happy to see y’all being friends and very excited to see y’all train together. Much love!

The first MMA fight I've ever watched was you vs. Kelvin, ever since that moment I've been hooked on not only watching MMA, but now also training in it. Best choice I've ever made and that's thank you, and those incredible performances you keep putting up. I'm from the Netherlands, so it'll be a long flight, but being able to watch you compete and hang out with you in Australia seems like a dream come true :)

I was there it was my first ufc event. It was absolutely insane the feeling is indescribable

Been a huge fan since that Anderson Silva fight, and the iconic rock lee moment. Then when you fought Alex and lost, that look in your eye getting back to the title and to seal the deal inspired me to get back into training, and competing Now watching you fall in love with BJJ and dial in with Craig Jones gave me an even greater respect for you a true martial artist

I’d love to be there and witness the legend amplify his legacy with my own eyes. Not gonna make this a sob story but I’ve had a rough year. My Dad passed. My family has been going through some heavy circumstances and we’re pulling through. I’ve come out of a deep depression lately, and I owe that to God first and foremost, but having your energy and mentality leak into my life through your fights and your channel has definitely been a bright point and I appreciate you. Someone is gonna be extremely blessed to get picked to see you serve up Dricus and to just to hang out with the GOAT! I hope it’s me! But good luck to everyone. Stay blessed y’all 🤘❤️

Izzy , one of the biggest fans here. Been watching you since your ufc debut, You knocking out Alex is got to be one of the greatest storyline or moment in combat sports history. And I would love to watch you live do the same to Dricus , also watching a live ufc event is literally my dream. Thanks for being an incredible inspiration

I asked you a specific question in your Q&A and part of your answer was "ask me again in three years". Well it's been three years boss. Would love to see you fight live and then ask you the same question again in person and see the growth. Respect from Perth, AU 🙏🏾

You being true to yourself despite the criticism and hate you receive, in victory or defeat, is truly inspiring. People fear what they don't understand and I hope you remind everybody again who you are.

Hey Israel, Man, where do I even begin? I've been following your journey from the very start, and I can't even put into words how much you've impacted me. Your skill, dedication, and charisma both inside and outside the Octagon are simply awe-inspiring. I'll be honest, your fights are like poetry in motion, and I've never seen anyone blend technique and style quite like you do. Every time you step into the Octagon, it's like magic happens, and I'm left on the edge of my seat, heart pounding with excitement. If I were to win those tickets to your next fight against Dricus Du Plessis, I don't think I'd be able to contain my excitement. It's not just about watching a fight; it's about being a part of history and experiencing the electric atmosphere that only a live UFC event can bring. I've been to a few local MMA events, but nothing comes close to the energy and passion of a major UFC showdown. Being there in person, surrounded by fellow fans who share the same admiration for you, would be an unforgettable experience that I'll cherish for a lifetime. Your journey as a fighter has inspired me to tackle my own challenges head-on. Your work ethic, the way you push through adversity, and your relentless pursuit of greatness have motivated me to give my best in everything I do, both inside and outside the gym. If I get the chance to attend your fight, I promise you it won't go to waste. I'll soak in every moment, capture the energy in photos and videos, and share it with my friends, family, and social media followers. I want them to feel the same passion and inspiration that you've instilled in me. Your impact reaches far beyond the Octagon, and I'll do my part to spread the love for the sport and the values you represent. Thanks for even considering me for this incredible opportunity. You're not just a fighter; you're a true role model, and I'm beyond grateful for the chance to be a small part of your journey. Wishing you all the best in your training and preparation for the upcoming fight! Keep being the legend you are! - cam

You already Gave me so much life advice from your interviews to the way you approach fighting. That last fight with Alex was the definition of "facing our demons" . I am from Portugal, so if you ever fight close to here i Will go and meet you, can't afford a trip to other continents. Keep doing what you are doing. You are an inspiration for people in general , not just fighters. Thank you champ!

Izzy the first ever UFC fight i went to was 287 ( still paying it off, beacuse the price but so worth it) and watching you win live and hearing that speech was life changing. I come from a poor city in Colombia where more kids need to hear they can reach the happiness you had from you’re accomplishments, I would eternally appreciate watching you live and celebrating the Win you will get in Australia because its what you will get champ, your hard work is admired world wide because we see the time and thought you put in everything you do as well as being an awesome person from what we see will support always. Mr Brass

Izzy you are such an inspiration to me and my best friend. We were drawn to your aura the moment you danced on Derek Brunson. We were not even huge MMA fans but that fight made us fall in love with combat sports. Each fight, felt like a new level and it felt like we were on that journey with you. I will never forget the pop off I had while watching you KO Poatan. Seeing you win, lose, and then win again has been something else. It taught me that losing is part of life and to not be afraid of it. I am so excited to see you beat the brakes off of Dricus because I know how bad you want to. It is going to be epic wherever it is in the world. You will forever be my favorite fighter and I believe you are not even close to what you are going to accomplish by the time you are finished with MMA. Absolute legend and you are just getting started. LETS FUCKING GO!

Choose your fighter: Israel Adesanya Speed: 9/10 Conditioning: 10/10 Defense: 9/10 Power: 9/10 Mental: 10/10 Footwork: 9/10 Fight IQ: 9/10 Heart: 10/10 Accuracy: 10/10 Izzy, you are in my opinion the most naturally talented athlete in the UFC. From the moment you sparked Brunsen with that quick slick boxing I knew you were going to be champion. You make watching the UFC 10x more interesting with no only your entertaining fighting style that's captivating to watch, but also your charisma on the mic. We are truly in the era of a great which I feel everyone should appreciate while you are still fighting. It has always been my dream to watch you fight in person and I would love nothing better than to watch you give DDP what he deserves when you finally lay leather on him in the octagon. Keep being the great, humble fighter you are and your fans will always have your back 👊👊👊

Give it your all and you’ll leave a mark in the octagon that will outlive many generations! Kia kaha champ! Eli

Watching you fight has been my shared dream with my best friend for ages. 5 years ago you gave me the UFC spark which later on turned out to be a great passion and a way to connect with people. Ever since I first saw your fight with Anderson Silva it has been my dream to experience UFC live, ESPECIALLY WITH YOU. Making this happen is a dream come true for me and my best friend! Sending lots of love and positive energy from Bulgaria! ❤

After reading the others responses it is clear what a profound impact you have had on the life of others. I am of course a huge fan, meeting you at @UFCX was epic. Whether it is in Australia or somewhere else, I will see you fight live.

Israel ive been following your career since u first came to the ufc and u were the reason i fell in love with ufc and mix martial arts u are the perfect representation of the sport. Never scared to challenge urself and humble in victory or defeat. Been watching every single one of ur fights even though they usually come at 4-8 am at my time in finland

“ A hero is not the one who never falls. He is the one who gets up again, again, and again never losing sight of his dreams”. From watching you vs Tavares to winning the championship against rob. To literally crying everytime when you’ve lost against your opponents. You, just like rock lee are my biggest motivation. And if I can watch you live and go to my 1st Ufc event . I will die a happy man.

This is closest to the life I retired from. The inner strength to face the unknown outcome, no matter the preparation, is as real as it can get. Thanks for your dedication to your craft. From one warrior to another. God speed.

I started watching UFC casually years ago, the first fight I ever watched was Derrick Lewis Vs Roy Nelson on UFC Fight Night 90. I remember watching UFC 221 when you finished Rob Wilkinson and immediately thought you’ll be a champ one day. Im not a fighter at all but I have fallen in love with this sport so much. I literally buy every PPV card and watch every fight night I possibly can and never miss a single fight of yours. Whether I win the tickets to watch you knock out Dricus or not I have promised myself I will be sitting in an arena watching you live one day 🎉

I started boxing 3 years ago in Vietnam and my trainer got me into watching UFC fights. I was hooked ever since i washed your fight against Silva. You have been an inspiration for me first because you talked about Avatar... so many people don't consider it anime and i appreciate you seeing it for all the wonderful lessons it teaches. This combined with martial arts are such an important part of my life. Second, your work ethic is something we don’t see anymore and it always motivated me to workout. My alarm name is "workout like Adesanya". I would love to see a real UFC fight in Sydney. #freestylebender for the win! 💯

You are the reason I started training a martial art, I witnessed you win your belt back in Miami and would love to experience something like that again ❤

The storylines you weave with your fights are awe-inspiring and light the way for all of us to achieve our dreams as well. Its always incredible watching you put in the work to overcome obstacles and add build your legacy. I would be so fortunate to see that live!!

My husband deserves to win these UFC tickets! He's been a loyal fan of Israel Adesanya since 2016, always recalling the moment he 'kicked Bogdan's liver into the other side of the arena.' He's visualized this experience for so long, and it would mean the world to him to finally live that dream. Please consider him for this amazing opportunity!🎟🥊

It’s the one thing our whole family has over time gotten together for since my father and I started watching you. Good luck with your next fight and I hope get see you, your family and watch your fight ringside. Good luck champ!

My friend Waleed and watched your first fight against Rob and became instant life long fans. It has been a dream of ours to see the UFC live, especially the MAN himself. You have been such an example of how living true to yourself and reaching for the stars can truly help you get to where you want to go. We would be honored to meet you and see you LIGHT UP that bum DDP. All love, Owen

I’ve been a fan since you became a UFC contender, specially after the Anderson Silva fight. My dad and I love watching you fight and it would be an absolute honor just to be able to watch one of your events live. Congrats on a spectacular ongoing career, sending you best of luck from Mexico.

The video with Jones was like It was like peace amongst Titans. Thanks for sharing a snippet of what beasts like you and Jones got up to behind the scenes. Deffinatly a heart warming scene between goats

As a Army Veteran I been watching you since your Kickboxing days N it would be a prayer answered that not only to watch you fight live and in person but to work with you N cast you in one of my films one day, I love your regardless if I get pick God bless you solider, keep making the world a better place💯

Choose me cuz I’ve never been to a ufc event and probably will never have a chance. Being able to see you fight would be one of the craziest things I would witness, big up from Portugal

"When I'm having fun, I'm the best in the world." - Israel Adesanya This quote drives my daily living man! It reminds me to make sure I'm playing this life and not letting this life play me. I would be honored to watch you defend the belt LIVE! I'm a young father, working nights to support my wifey and almost 2 year old son, and I apply your fighters/champion mentality when work feels pleasant and when work sucks, in hopes of being the best at what i do. I believe in the grind and I believe in the transformation that comes with it, so to be able to witness your blood, sweat and tears come to fruition in that cage in person would be legendary. I know, like you, that I am called to a higher purpose which is why I'm able to put in the effort in life that I do on a day to day basis, taking after you and the other greats of our time. So why should you pick me? Well should is subjective so i cant say i deserve this give away but I think the impact that this experience could have on my legacy would be dope. Taking that energy in and bestowing it on my son would be a gift. Hope to hear from you champ ✊🏽 - J Lopez

I'm from the UK, I missed out on the last chance to go to a UFC event (leon usman 3) i stayed up all night to get tickets and still ended up being left without so it would be awesome to see you and the Aussies/Kiwis live. I'm just about to finish naruto too, episode 421 on shippuden so by the time you pick me to win i would've finished it so we can chop it up about naruto after you beat the shit out of DDP! All jokes aside, been a massive supporter and fan of the content and love the energy you and the uncrowned 145lb champ always bring, good luck in sydney from Kent, England ❤

Been watching your fights for years from the uk bro and have been a massive fan over and have watched each bout since the one against Costa in 2020, I literally have posters of you on my wall dawg

Getting picked to meet adesanya would probably the coolest moment of my life. Simple.

You are a legend, Izzy! "You can't beat me, I am prepared to die!" and your speech after regaining your title contributed to me revolutionizing my life after the darkest period I could have ever imagined.

Huge fan Izzy ! I’ve been watching sports my entire 33 years on earth and watching you get your strap back was by far my favorite sports memory 🙏🏽. From knockout , to celebration , to post fight interview with Joe . MASTERPIECE !!!!

Amateur kickboxer and fight fan here. As much as I’d love for my first ufc experience to be abroad and at a stylebender main event, I owe it to my brother to drag him along for the ride. The man has seen me through so many lows, I can’t think of a better way to pay it back than by dragging him half way around the world for this. Man is a world class dancer and a fight aficionado of his very own. We’ve stayed up late after our own fights to appreciate yours, and I’d love to be able to share this experience with him.

Grateful bro!

Hey Izzy! While you've been in the Arena, dominating and collecting heads over the years. I've been one of many, combating the haters on the battlegrounds of the forums and comments sections doing the same. It'll be a pleasure to join you and your crew in the inevitable post celebration party! Zhànshì !!

I remember seeing the first Whittaker knockout right when I started watching MMA. I was rooting for you and super excited when the Costa fight was a beat down. I started watching Naruto in high school, and I only finished last year but that allowed me to have something in common with one of my favorite fighters. The relatability, the skills, the attitude we appreciate it all as fans man. Love to see you fight one day, keep lining em up🏹

@@bigvsouthphilly2156you are writing the same comment everywhere. Genuinely think about that. Izzy has you as a man, so emotional that you have to troll on the internet all day. How sad is that really?

I don’t think anyone deserves to be there but rather desires it. My burning desire comes from what you said in your last post fight speech. You said “I hope you can feel this level of happiness just one time in your life” I truly believe that happiness can be felt by being in the arena when you beat DDP. The energy flowing through the building will be insane and I would love to feel that. To be a drop of paint on a canvas in a moment of time would be beautiful. Blessings, Josh Van Zwieten Just a man who respects you for being real.

Saw your first fight years ago on late night nz tv, on c4 I think. I remember going to work the next day telling the boys you were like Ali. Great to see how your career has progressed 🙏🏻

Izzy, you inspire me with your story and your journey. I'm an aspiring artist and your appreciation for the arts and martial "arts" is what has made me such a big fan, being able to find parallels with you and understand where you come from, from being from two separate places very different from each other, to having very similar interests in life, I know the only thing that has kept me back has been my mindset, which you've talked about extensively in the last few years. It would be an honor to pick your brain in person and see a dream UFC event live.

I really love everything you do in and out of the Octagon, You are an embodiment of MMA, I have been watching your fights since Kelvin Gastelum, and I was excited to see you win the Belt . Thanks for the millions of people you have inspired and still inspiring. I will be super happy to be in the Arena with you fighting.

Bro you’re the best and I look forward to do more like you,. You motivate me every time

Ever since your glory fight against Wilnis I’ve been following you. The way you fought and handled the loss even though you might as well won it made me a fan of yours. For someone out of the Netherlands it’s very hard to get to an UFC event. Especcialy to events with athletes likes you. It would be a lifetime experience watching you beat DDP live. I’m sure I’ll get to watch you live I have to. Cheers

I've always been a fan of the UFC, but the first fight that convinced me to go live was yours in Atlanta GA. Needless to say, that night was so memorable for me and the history of MMA.

You aren't just a fighter Izzy. You are a teacher, instructor and inspiration to many of us back home in Africa. Your honesty in the game, remaining true to yourself have been the reason I have had to look forward to hearing you speak. I believe i am most deserving of the opportunity to watch you live in Sydney because residing in Abuja, Nigeria, i will be representing all your fans over here and at the same time, inspire many more with stories i will be sharing after seeing your fight live and joining your victory party......

Sup champ I feel like I’d love to see you fight In person I’ve been watching since you first stepped in to the ufc as a tall black dude that loves anime myself I always tell people man izzy just seems like someone I’d hang with on the regular and talk about anime with plus if you look me up brandonleefit sicklecell you’ll see I’ve been thru it all but I made it and never have had it easy I’ve lived with sickle cell my whole life and killed that shit never let it control me first nationally qualified person with my chronic illness in body building and since it’s a African illness primarily it doesn’t get the same coverage others get. That aside bro I wouldn’t be bothering or badgering you i understand personal space lol just would love to witness dricus gets his he started this ish you gone finish it!!! All love champ we getting the w regardless..

Israel Adesanya, I have always watched and enjoyed your rise to fame, at first, it was only for your confidence and your theatrics as you climbed the ranks. However, especially recently, I have gained a newfound appreciation for who you are as a person. As I found your youtube, I realized tht, unlike other athletes who do youtube, instead of simply posting workouts, you were an open book and allowed us into the most intimate moments of your life. As a result, I was able to see how much fighting truly means to you. No moment exemplifies this more that when you faced Alex Pereira for the first time in the UFC. You had experienced so much success at your weight class as a result of your hardwork and dedication. You were excited to bring it full circle and be able to beat someone who had, in the past, left a blemish on your career. You put the moments on your youtube where your coach spoke from the heart. You even cried as a result of the moment you were able to share with people you love. You have always been amazing at feeling your feelings and you have shown mean that is a sign of strength, not weakness. As a black kid who grew up in the states, this is a lesson that has saved my life. I grew up an honor roll student athlete who unfortunately had to give a sport he loved due to injuries when he went to college. As I leaned into my grades I was able to acheive a 3.8 GPA my freshman year and make the Dean’s list at my school. Entering my second year, I was brimming with confidence, but what I hadn’t expected was that deling with a new environment (finally moving out of my house) and a lack of structure would lead me to spiral as my grades dropped. The fear of being a failure and the shame I felt in the moment were unbearable. They made me suicidal and made me want to drop out. It was in the following semester which I took off that you lost to Pereira in the UFC. I expected you to succumb to shame like I did, but you held your head up high, you took the loss with humility and gratefulness. It showed me what I lacked, self love. The immense love you feel for yourself and those around you is what has made you the person you today. The same person who was able to take his belt back from Pereira immediately. It’s the same person you said I do this “because I’m afraid”. You have taught me the value of facing my fears and facing failures. It has saved my life and now I can continue furthering my education and becoming the man God made me to be. Thank you forever and always

Hey Izzy I’m from the home lands of New Zealand I’m come here a lil late after the video as I’ve spent the past two days tryna to get a tickets for ufc 293 and wasn’t successful after trying for hours each day I’m currently training in MMA myself and since I’ve started in this game I’ve always held you as my biggest idol in this game as someone I aspire to be like a Achieve similar accomplishments and I haven’t had a chance yet to since I started watching this sport to see u compete live in the flesh all I want is to be there just feel the energy at being in this high level sport with the opportunity to witness one of your many great performances Love Te Wha

Yes, it made me feel really good to see you guys talk. Have fun with an undertone of major respect 🙏 loved it.

Izzy, I started watching the ufc in 2020 and I’ll never forget your fight with Paulo costa. Sticking it to the bully and making a statement that night left a huge impact on me. Ever since then I followed your career closely with podcasts and interviews. You’ve been such an inspiration to me and when you beat Alex when everyone was counting you out, I was at the bar screaming in joy and got very emotional during your post fight speech. I’ve been through a lot of bullshit lately but you keep reminding me to push forward and believe in myself. Thank you for everything

You should fly me to Sydney so I can meet you, I admire how you are one of the few in the spotlight always keeping it real and staying true to yourself, and talking about energy, manifestation etc., a lot of knowledge that is missing from modern culture, wisdom that should be passed down. And it would be sick to watch UFC 293 live, there's a lot of good fights on that one, ending in yours!

You’ve been my favourite fighter since your debut against Wilkinson, I missed out on ufc 284 tickets in Perth, and when I found out you were coming to Sydney I couldn’t believe that there was a chance to see you fight live in my home town, and I’ve been unsuccessful in trying to get tickets to ufc 293 after missing out on presale and general public tickets while having 3 devices in queue, is would mean so much to me to be able to see you fight and I would never forget this experience.

Izzy you truly are someone I look up to not just as a top mma fighter but as a person as well.....In your last fight you smiled of happiness but I teared out of happiness for you...keep going up and only up

I went from watching MMA here and there, to finding a group of friends who love watching the cards when we can together. Literally I started watching PPVS with them and shortly after couldn’t stop learning about fighters seeing their growth and their careers while learning from them. Learning how fighting relates to every single thing I do in my Life. And now for the last 6-7 years MMA/Combat Sports is my haven, my teacher and the only sport I watch. Lastly when I made the decision to finally start BJJ about two months ago it changed my life. Though BJj is just a slice of MMA, getting in their and realizing anyone can learn and compete has had so many subconscious effects on me physically, mentally, spiritually, in my relationships with my girl, my family, work, my friends and it get a bro watery-eyes to just think of what Combat sports has done for me. I found something I can’t put into words to this day and your last speech after you KOd Pereira hit me Izzy, throwing myself against people far better trained and in far better shape, getting smashed, but when I get those fucking wins against them, no matter how small I find out more and more about myself. All in all, thank you for putting on these fights to you and all of the competitors. You guys and gals do what we were meant to do as humans, fight. Never been to any UFC/any pro fight event and it’d be beyond a dream to got to one let alone you headlining, regardless just wanted to say my Peace and show you not every fan just watches and not appreciate you all, stay safe and show Dricus why he should’ve been more humble coming in 🔥 Oss

Hey, i live in nc, and im a newly blue belt in bjj. I have loved ufc since i was about 4, when i went to watch parties with my dad to watch kickboxing and ufc. I have loved watching your videos, they make me realize how fun the sport of MMA really is. Thank you.

You are the complete reason why I got into kickboxing/muay thai as a main focus before dabbling in MMA. Watching your fights and videos have been and will always be such an inspiration, and the opportunity to watch you fight with such passion, intensity, and fire with Dricus would be such an honor. There would be nothing better in life than to watch you knock this man out into another dimension. Appreciate ya Izzy!

Izzy, you sparked my interest back into MMA I remember watching your fight with kelvin. The first fight I ever watched live, gave me goosebumps even to this day thinking back about that fight. Thinking you were gonna lose after being such a big fan and watching you dig deep and go into deep waters made me realize fighting is a metaphor for life itself

Uk fan here. Have stayed up till 6am to watch watch all your fights , usually after a heavy night of drinking 😂 for the last Pereira fight I fell asleep at the start of the main card with no alarm set. Somehow I naturally woke up, turned on the tv and you were stepping in the cage. So glad I got to was one of the greatest and satisfying KOs live. All the best for 293, finish Strickland and Dricus in December that’s the 2023 Fighter of the Year secured and I’ll definitely be watching all the way

Life is Short and you can get caught up in the day to day, but to see crazy athletes put it all on the line for greatness is why i watch the UFC. Your redemption saga and domination of the Middleweight Division, Alex's continued greatness inside and outside the cage. These and many more keep me watching you! Stay Great Izzy

Facts bro Izzy handles himself like a true king 👑

You saved my life by being you, watching your energy reflected my inner best version of myself. Your art reflected my life and your life reflected my art, it’s almost like every fight you had with an opponent was me vs my demons and my bullies it really used to trip me out, & when you won it really felt like I won. You’ve inspired me not just to be physically better but also your mentality was so relatable! I don’t even care if I win I just really hope you get to read my comment I’ve visualised it so much how to quickly tell you in person at an event or if I ever ran into you in Auckland or where ever without over reacting with emotions…😂 But thank you Israel for saving my life for being you 🫶🏽

I would love to win the tickets for my brother. He's been a super fan of yours since day 1. You are one of his idols and watching you fight in the Octagon is on his bucket list. He had been saving up to come and watch you fight in the US (we live in NZ) as it meant so much to him to witness your greatness in person (his words). I am 26 years old and have been struggling with anxiety and depression for the last few months and on and off for the last few years and my brother (20 years old) has been my rock. He stays solid and is always there when I need him, no matter the day, the hour or the place, he will make sure he gets there. I never knew how I could ever repay him or show him how much I appreciate everything he does for me until I saw this - an opportunity of a lifetime. My brother watches all your videos and all your fights (PPV), so much so that he's analyzed your every move and even went so far as to guess your walk-out song - Hello Zepp and Overture - prior to your fight (he had written his prediction in his notes on his phone and showed it to us). As you can see he is a mega fan and one of his dreams is to become an MMA fighter. This would be the ultimate experience for him that I know he will treasure forever. Thank you for your consideration 🙏🏽

Greetings Izzy, firstly THANK YOU, for letting us the fans into your life outside the ring. Always speaking from the winners circle is easy, seeing you go through the training, the hurt, the wins, the loss, the JOURNEY- that’s why I’m here. I’m on a life journey totally unrelated to a ring, but everyday is a fight. As a father, and a husband I fight the tough fight day in and out, and figures like you give me the drive to do it everyday. In person or not, I will continue to support you, you are truly an inspiration, keep winning brother 🙏🏾.

Izzy, your last fight against Alex was one of the most inspiring things I've seen in my life. I literally made it my phone's lock screen because every time I see it it reminds me of the fact that it is possible to overcome adversity. I've always wanted to go to a UFC event live, but I'm a college student and I'm not at a place in life yet where I can afford the tickets. I've also always wanted to visit Australia because I love animals and nature and Australia is uniquely beautiful in both those regards. It would be such an honor to watch you fight and continue to be an inspiration (and, kick the shit out of DDP. Him claiming you're not a real African champ was uncalled for and I can't wait to see you make him pay for it 😈)

Huge fan izzy, all the way from Nigeria; I have never been out of my country or watched a UFC match live before, what a great honor it would be to watch my first UFC match, my first time outside my country and watching our champ defend he's belt! ... imagination wan wound me! But I hope it comes through, Good luck izzy! Still gonna stay up to watch the match nonetheless 😁

Been a UFC fan for more than a decade and never seen a live event. Would love too see one of my favs fighters do a masterpiece.

Man this channel never disappoints. The feel and openness is second to none. Especially if you love mma and competition in general. Dave always asks great questions.
