Wow! Izzy, good to see you. Fine interview, kudos. Drawing the line on what not to put out there is fantastic. When u & ur team actually shut the doors, for serious strategic training and game plans, It yields greater results, than letting out training stuffs, before Stylebender steps into the octagon filled with unthinkable techniques tactics. Hmm 👌, awesome! On that singular not, let's go team! Recall throwing tiny balls at random to Izzy backing the wall dulging it from being hit, that was immediately dobed Izzy's opponent before the fight. People want to know your secrets for so many reasons. Every one admired and desired your spotlight. Understand that ok 👍
Izzy is right about one thing. Izzy, Volk, and Kamaru were some of the best champions we ever had. They were all insanely active and willing to fight whoever whenever. A lot of the new champions don’t try to defend, they just wanna go on their championship tours and fight once a year.

You were suppose to headline UFC 300 with Alex and that is exactly why Hill had to step in to "save the show". Dricus wasn't ready to fight for 300 obviously so you misdirecting him being up for 300. Alex even called you after claiming the HW title in his previous fight "Come to daddy" but you blatantly dismissed it. Dude just can't admit he is afraid of rematching Alex and wants to hold onto the win.

Best description of what happened. Izzy can't admit, which is pretty normal too, he's human after all. Alex did invote him to dance at 300, and it would be huge, def. bigger than Alex vs Hill, but somehow he said no, have to factor Poatan's nuclear option, it must feel scary to fight against someone who can put your lights off. Wish people could understand Alex in Portughese, he's such a down to earth, salt of the earth guy, he wasn't spoiled by PR or marketing, he's just the way he's. What I feel about Poatan and many Brazilians is that they went through so much that their grateful for what they got, they're not greedy or selfish, they treasure family, friendship and being able to provide and take care of those that are close to them. None of the jon jones, masvidal, colby everything for a dollar, f*** loyalty, friendship, family, money First and above everything else, that's why I feel Olives and Charles have gained so many fans even though they don't speak English. People dig that and no PR or marketing can reproduce that.
Izzy is becoming tiresome.

Well if you actually watched the fights you’d know the he reason why he knocked out Alex is because Alex rushed and got countered while Sean played patient and picked his shots. I can’t remember where I saw it but even Alex said that he told Sean to be careful and don’t fall for Izzy’s traps because he slightly regrets loosing like he did. I think it was one of the videos on his KZread channel after Sean won.

Much respect for Izzy for not falling into the trap of saying bad things about Strickland because the reporter clearly wanted him to do that. People give izzy v hard time but he is a real genuine person
Alex really is taking everything izzy worked for. Knocked izzy out of the sport of kickboxing and became a generational success there. Came and beat Izzy in his own sport at the weightclass he dominated. Then when it seems like izzy finally got his revenge he goes up and beats the guy izzy failed to beat, then captures the belt izzy failed to capture.
