Israel Adesanya Reacts to INSANE UFC 291 Pay Per View 

Hey Izzy, I’ve never been to a UFC event before and I’d love to come see you fight in Sydney. Been a big fan of your striking skills and would love that to be my first event. Specifically I think you’re one of the only fighters in the UFC that utilizes feinting well and it often goes unnoticed. It’s like Messi feinting but in the octagon. But I still hope to come see you fight in the future. Just don’t go retiring early!

derrick lewis saw masvidal in the crowd and said it can’t be that hard😂

Derek easily the most surprising, he definitely cheered up everyone after the Tony loss. Justin knocking out Poirier was a cherry on top of a great card

I respect so much Izzy telling the crowd to "shut up" while the ground game happens Shows even as someone with a striking background he respects the full game of MMA so much

Seeing the kelvin fight live really just solidified me as a fan, when you said you were willing to die for this it really gave me chills, I have tried to embody that spirit for the stuff I love from that day forward. Izzy you are a true inspiration, not only to me but so many more. Winning the trip would be an absolute life dream, regardless I wanted to share what an impact you have made on my life

Before my dad passed, you were his favorite fighter. Your cards were the only cards that we would watch together, even when he was sick with cancer, we would watch together. Going to see you in Sydney is the trip I always dreamed of taking my father on, and it would be a special sort of closure to honor him by going to see you fight.

I love how he respects Alex and actually i have impression that he wants him to win that belt

Always look forward to your first reactions to the fights, content gold! Much respect seeing you praise a man that you have had history with in your carrier. I would love to see the match in Sydney, it would be a great honor and an experience beyond anything I have seen in live sports. You, Volk and Gaethje are by far the most entertaining fighters and personalities in the game, respect and character are traits that you simply can't fake, and you guys don't!

hella good video man i love the highlight, NEW BMF always loved his fighting, from home town AZ!!!

Man I be looking forward to Izzy’s reaction just as much as the fights itself 😂

If you just want the reactions after their wins… Kevin Holland win reaction- 0:45 Bobby Green win reaction- 2:45 Derrick Lewis win reaction- 3:15 Alex Pereira decision win (scorecards) reaction- 7:54 Justin Gaethje win reaction- 8:33 Post card thoughts & comments- 8:50

Loving all the breakdowns you've been doing, the reactions and thoughts show the passion you have as a fan. I'd love to come see your performance live as living in Invercargill it sometimes feels like I'm watching from the other side of the world even for home events! I don't think I'm any more deserving than the next fan but I know I would absolutely love the experience from start to finish!

Hey Izzy, your the reason I started watching UFC I always respected how you stay true to yourself and never let people change you. You also inspire me as another Nigerian who immigrated for a better life because I feel like I can relate to you a lot. Especially like childhood things like growing up with Nigerian parents being bullied things like that. I look up to you and what you were able to accomplish with the minimal support from your parents when you first started fighting. I can relate a lot because when I was playing football I always felt that lack of support from my parents. It would be a dream and an honor to watch you fight in Sydney.

Izzy literally commentated the Alex vs Jan fight perfectly 🥇 (Edited Yan to Jan)

4:26 that Yep! Frankenstein had me dead asf

Honestly seeing you fight would be a dream come true. I started watching your fights after hearing how well people spoke of your fighting style and I had to watch, and as it goes, I quickly got fascinated and obsessed with how you not only fought, but how you prepare for your fights and how you view yourself and opponents. I always tell friends how I have to see you fight live one day, I thought that day would be in SA, but anywhere in the world would be beautiful and meaningful. I would love the opportunity to see you fight in Sydney, to be a part of the crowd, cheering and seeing my favorite Mixed Martial Artist winning and being a part of the experience.

Me and my bros started watching the UFC 4 years ago and fell in love with it. You were the very first fight we ever went out and watched, you indoctrinated us into the sport with your performance against Costa. Will never forgot that card. Would be a pleasure to watch you live in Sydney

Have to give props to the cameraman and editor too. They are combining professional shots with a homemade documentary style that is really hard to balance and pull off. An underrated gem in all of these videos.

You inspired me to get into martial arts. I remember watching you against Derek brunson and screaming with my little brother at the top of our lungs when you caught him with the question mark and straight right. I’ve been training just a little over a year now but I’ve never been to a ufc event ever or really any live fighting event. It would be an absolute blessing to get to watch you the stylebender in person, it’ll be like one of those full circle moments for me and that’s why I would be honoured to see you in Sydney cap off another historic victory. You motivate people all over the world, wish you all the best in your health, and future. Thank you for introducing to me something that saved my life!

Hey Izzy, I followed your career since you were in kickboxing and when I tore my ACL in 2018, watching you ascend from unranked contender to your victory against Derek Brunson was a huge source of inspiration and motivation to me. Was a fan when you were still underground, still a fan today. Cheers💯

Dope commentary per usual! It's nice to get the on-spot perspective of the fights. I'd love to get to Sydney - AUS has been on the top of my list for quite some time - seeing you fight at my first ever UFC event makes it all worth while. A great champion - but also a real human - who most importantly, remains himself at all times - respect!!

Izzy unlocked a new word thanks to DDP

Bro derrick Lewis flying knee was DOPE😂

Thank you for the video mr Brass Knuckles, always a pleasure watching your breakdowns.

Man, it's moments like these, like you've said before my "8 mile shot." I've got one comment where I have to try put into words how I feel. But to be honest it's not just you, it's not just your life that has inspired me it's the community and family you have around you. This really stood out for me, when I watched Fau's funeral, seeing the whole team there all supporting each other made me realise what it means to have friends that are true family. When Luka dropped The Year That Was Vol 2 it showed me the correlation of art, MMA and life, ultimately changing my life. I want to thank you for everything you've done on the world stage to inspire people, to the small things you do behind closed doors.

I was so hyped for Izzy to react haha! Been waiting, thanks for the content as always brother.

I have witnessed the passion and hard work you put into your craft. Your commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the Octagon is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Your fights are not just battles; they are a showcase of the artistry and finesse that make mixed martial arts so captivating.(especially, your fight with your Hero (the spider) where you saw the flying kneel coming and move out quickly). Attending one of your UFC fights has been a dream of mine for a long time. The energy, excitement, and camaraderie that fill the arena during your bouts are unparalleled. To experience that atmosphere firsthand would be an absolute privilege and an unforgettable moment in my life. Beyond being a fan of your fighting skills, your approachable and genuine personality has also touched me. You engage with your fans on a personal level, and that makes me feel a connection to you as a human being beyond the fighter I admire. I have always been a firm believer that experiences like this create lasting memories that stay with us forever. To have the chance to witness your greatness in person would be an honor, and I can assure you that my enthusiasm for the sport and your talent knows no bounds. If you consider me for this incredible opportunity, I promise to embrace it with boundless excitement and gratitude. It would be an incredible privilege and a chance of a lifetime. I will cherish the experience and share it with others to inspire them just as you have inspired me.

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 🤣

Would absolutely love the chance to see you and the CKB boys live. Im a student in Auckland and have been a big UFC fan since the Costa fight. I did the Alta program at CKB with Eugene 1 year ago and got to know what its like to compete in mma and what the CKB gym is like on the inside (and just how loud Carlos' kicks are). But yeah Im a massive fan particularly of all the guys from CKB and God willing Coach Cam will be in UFC too soon enough! Wont drown with any more reasons just know Im a massive NZ fight fan never miss a ckb fight and would love the opportunity should I be blessed with such. ❤

One of your biggest fans Izzy. I remember you came to Atlanta and put it all on the line against Gastellum. You said you were ready to die that night to achieve your goals and that is inspiring outlook in life everyone should take. Thanks for the inspiration and keep inspiring people in this generation✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Me and my brother been huge mma fans ever since covid and I came to love your fights and personality. Your a huge role model to me, inspiring me through what is possible with hard work, but also to just be myself. I still talk about your post fight speech at UFC 287, I felt the relief and happiness through the screen 😂, inspiring bro. It would be a huge blessing and truly life changing to be able to see one of idols fight live, especially now since i’m able to fly on planes now lol. Either way, i’ll be watching and i’ll for sure be hyped ✌️

In a world where dreams felt far away, I found comfort in Israel Adesanya's inspiring journey. He never gave up, and that inspired me during tough times. He won both in the ring and in life, a true champion. So, I entered a contest to win a trip to see him fight. And guess what? I won! When I watched him in the arena, I felt a strong connection. His bravery reminded me of my own struggles, and I realized I'm a champion too. From that day on, I faced challenges with bravery and never gave up. I became the hero of my own story, painting a picture of strength and hope. 🙏🏽

I love watching your videos and fights brother, stay up all night here in nigeria to watch all your fights, because of time difference, it will be a life changing experience for me coming over for the first time in my life and watching you live, always a fan brother and will forever be, naija no dey carry last❤❤❤

Izzy, man, you're a true legend and there would be nothing that could make me happier than being able to see you live. Most fans would call me a casual because I started watching the UFC in 2021, but it was your highlight reel and your youtube videos that got me into this sport. I remember watching your breakdown of your fight with Gastelum and thinking it was the coolest shit ever. Ive now been following the sport religiously thanks to you and also training it at a local gym. Even if I dont get the trip I'd like to take this chance to thank you for introducing me to the sport I love and I will be watching and practicing as long as I live. But man what I wouldnt give to see you live kicking some ass and shutting stinkland tf up.

Always here to check your reviews after ppv's, It's tradition at this point! Cheers to you & you're whole team Izzy! Why should I get a trip to your upcoming fight? There are probably people under me with heart wrenching sob stories or sad back stories of course I have a few myself but I guess the main reason would be I've been a loyal fan your entire journey since you've entered the UFC. You're fight iQ & technique, being a weeb & into cartoons, into fashion & dancing, self expression. Win lose or draw I rock with you & all the fighters from CKB by extension. I'm not just some bandwagon fan, I've diligently been following all of your careers. Even outside of fighting the charisma, drive, and inner fortitude has inspired me greatly. I doubt you pick me, lol my luck isn't that good. Either way, thank you Izzy to you for the all the great moments & to your team for being their to motivate you & documenting those moments. PS can't wait for the movie to drop... netflix better quit playin

Good morning from Olympia, WA, USA A-DE-Sanya (emphasis necessary) my boy... to see you in person fight down under would be a dream come true. I'm not gonna cap I got on the bandwagon when you cracked Whittaker into oblivion. Your celebration afterwards was quite possibly the best in sports history. Since then I have been following you religiously. You made me a fan of combat sports and looking into your combat fight record is astonishing. Well over 100 fights in total and the way you have been dominating in the UFC is remarkable my boy. You inspire me and millions with your gamemanship, ethic, and personality. You create a narrative to be yourself and in turn makes me confident to pursue anything in life. The way you came back from the jaws of defeat against Poatan will be talked about for hundreds...THOUSANDS of years. I'm not gonna sit here and sugg your D anymore but my dude I appreciate what you have done for the game and the world. You have made a life long fan in a white boy from bumfuk Washington State. Much love and continued success to the greatest combat athlete of all time, looking forward to what your career has in store. P.S. please beat the living dogshi* of inbred strickland, we don't claim him in America.

My best friend is your biggest fan and giving him the chance to see his favorite fighter in person would be the happiest day of my life. We haven’t missed one of your fights in over 5 years would truly be a blessing to let my best friend meet his idol. Thank you for the content it’s always amazing as a fan to get to see something from the athletes perspective.

Hey Izzy, hope camp is going well. Idk if I deserve the tickets more than someone else but you've genuinely been one of the biggest role models for me. I look up to you when it comes to how to carry myself, how to cancel out the noise, learn to listen and trust myself. I stay up till 5-6am for all your fights, be it with the boys or just watching at home alone. It's been a dream of mine to watch a ufc event for over 5 years but I could never justify making a trip out as I'm only 21 and don't got that kinda money yet. If I won the giveaway I'd bring my friend Boyan, he got me into MMA when I had just moved to Spain from Ireland at the age of 12 and didn't have no friends and no way of communicating with almost anyone. I began training MMA with him and his dad who was the trainer and I instantly felt like I had found somewhere I belonged in such a foreign environment. He works as an acrobat with his parents in Spain still and I know he would totally buzzing to see a ufc event live, especially one of yours. Love from Ireland Izzy, and even if I don't win, imma be watching 💪❤️‍🔥

You are the only reason I got into UFC. Your fighter spirit on and off the canvas is something to emulate. I almost died last year, losing my brother to a car accident this year and getting divorced in February life has been lifeing. But for some reason I watch your vids, throw on your engage gear and that shit lights a fire in me. It would be dope to catch my first ever UFC fight in person and get a chance to meet you. I know you say you are not a role model but man you set the tone my guy and that is real. Truly helped me through some dark times. No NPC, player 1 always!

Its always fun watching your videos izzy

We met briefly in newmarket when you came into our store and although it was a brief fist bump of respect, it was cool just to see an awesome athlete in person amongst everyday life. Attending a live UFC event has always been on the bucket list and it would be an honour to have the opportunity to see you fight live in person! As a big sports fan it would be an incredible experience for my friend who shares the same excitement and support for you. I would love to vlog the whole trip and be able to share the experience with everyone!

Izzy reactions are definitely must watch. They are perfectly edited.

Hey Izzy I’m a huge fan. I just wanted to say it’d be a dream come true to see you fight live. I’m the other side of the world in Ireland, I’ve only got to see one UFC card live in london which completely broke the bank for me but it was to see another one of my favorites, Gaethje fight live and it was an experience that was unforgettable for me as a fight fan. Seeing you KO Pereira was one of the most inspirational moments I’ve ever seen. Watching MMA for me has evoked so many emotions and inspired me at times where I would be at my worst. I’d love the opportunity to travel to Sydney but not only that I have family in Melbourne who I’ve met only once and while I’m over that side of the world I’d love to go down to them for a few days afterwards and spend some time with them. Hope this message reaches you and even if it doesn’t or I’m too late, just wanted to say your attitude towards life in general is a fkn inspiration man. Lots of love from Ireland 🇮🇪

Born in almost the same year. Your walkout songs always connect at a spiritual level. Workout to your Spotify playlist and would love to experience Sydney for the first time ever watching you fight.

Always support your hard work. Would love to go and feel the excitement.

1:34 Seeing your Walmart ad via stream made me laugh.

Whatever advice you gave to Pereira about the Blachowicz seemed to work, cant wait to see the rematch for the light heavyweight belt

Enjoyed the Vid as always! I'd love to go to Sydney because I'm a huge UFC fan, Never missed one of your fights, Fellow Aucklander and simply just can't afford to go haha. (Also never been to a fight in person). Much love!

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.

After seeing your first fight with Rob, I had to go see the rematch live so my first in person UFC event was 282 in Houston you vs rob part 2 and man that was a badass experience. The whole card was fire with lots of finishes and getting to see you painting your art live and in person was beautiful. I might be a slightly bigger fan of the uncrowned 145 lb champ tho. That man is a great interviewer, comedian, and brother. I would really like the chance to win this trip, see you live again, and hopefully meet David adesanya 🤞

As an avid fan of you, I can confidently say that winning a trip hosted by you would be a dream come true. I have followed your inspiring journey from the beginning and have been deeply motivated by your rise from humble beginnings to becoming a world champion. Coming from a similar background of adversity and facing numerous challenges, your story resonates deeply with me. Your relentless work ethic and dedication to your craft have inspired me to work hard and pursue my own dreams relentlessly. Winning this trip would not only be a remarkable opportunity to meet my idol, but it would also serve as a validation of my hard work and determination. It would be an honor to personally express my gratitude to you for being an exceptional role model and for inspiring me to believe in myself and strive for greatness!!

Pictures of what you’re seeing is awesome. Keep doing that

Seeing you fight live would probably be the coolest thing I’ll ever get to experience in life. Love fighting it’s such a beautiful dance you guys and gals go out and do. Much love

I think the Derrick Lewis knock out was most surprising just because of his last fights and he’s a big dude so seeing that guy throwing a flights knee was just crazy. Izzy your my favorite fighter by far and when you first lost to Alex I didn’t give up on you, I was always in your corner and when you knocked him out it was honestly one of the highlights of my life. I’m such a huge fan and you’ve always been an inspiration to me so thank you for that. I’m also excited for your documentary and can’t wait to see it.

As someone who supports you always, regardless of opinion and the way you fight inspires me in my own life. Right now me and my partner separating and her and my 16 mnth year old son moving away. So I'm gonna need that fighting spirit for what is ahead. Seeing you live and display that warrior spirit I know would give me the energy for my own climactic battle ahead 🥷. Dallas, NZ

I think I should get the trip because I’ve always been the biggest fan of you since your kick boxing days to see your progress into the ufc to being the best is insane to me! Much love and respect would love to watch you live more than anything ✊🏼 ❤

Game recognizes Game. Great commentary-as usual😎👊🏽🏋🏾‍♀️

The inspiration you give to people have reached places you dont even know big bro you and the whole CKB team are inspiring 💯💯 im 24 and ive loved fighting my whole life but im just getting into kick boxing now

I have been an avid supporter of you since the early days of your career. I have followed your journey from king in the ring to becoming a UFC champion, and your remarkable skill, tenacity, and dedication to the sport have truly inspired me. Winning these tickets would be a dream come true, and I can assure you that my passion for MMA will make this an unforgettable experience.

Izzy if you see this. all i can say is thank you brother. i was going through a hard time with ptsd in 2020 just before covid. everything i would use as a escape all closed down. all i did is sit at home and doing nothing. seeing your words and how open you are with everything showed me i dont need to hold everything in. then after a lot and back and forth mentally i got back into mma. i use you as a massive insporation to my style and how i wanna fight. ive become a massive fan dude. i would be honoured just for you to see this let alone be able to see you fight. i will thank you on this. but would be honered to say thank you in person. Thank You.

Hey brother peace and love ✌🏼. I got Into ufc a year and a half ago and never looked back. During this year you’ve become my favorite fighter but not just for your style & flair but for the messages you keep sending. You’ve motivated me to become a better version of myself and chase my own dreams in pursuit of that same happiness you felt at the end of ufc 287. Trip or no trip no matter what you’re a genuine soul and I thank you for being an inspiration brother 🤟🏼.

Yo it’s hella solid the respect Izzy shows Periera and visa versa 💯 Dope to witness

I'm an amateur fighter and coincidentally I used to train at the same gym dricuss trains at in South Africa before financial issues now I try train myself at home for almost a year. You r one of the reason I got into fighting and getting the opportunity to not only watch you fight in Sydney but to be around professional Fighters will help me own potential career

Always nice to hear the genuine thoughts and reactions of the elite of the elite hall of famer in his prime 💪🤜👍 pretty cool to hear IA’s commentary on Alex’s fight too. Non biased and he picked the winner 👍✌️

I NEED this trip. To watch the fights live would be an extra bonus.

You are my favorite fighter of all time! Whenever you fight I get that excitement nervous feeling because I want you to win. Your style of fighting, your fight IQ, and your fight breakdowns amaze me. I don’t have a fighting background so I learn everything from listening to you talk and watching your fights. I tune into all of your fights, videos, and podcast that you have been on. Ariel Helwani’s show, Flagrant, Brilliant Idiots, etc. You give great insight and analysis of the fighting world. I would love to be consider for the opportunity of a lifetime. I’ve never been to live fights so I would love to feel the energy in that atmosphere. If you pick me you won’t regret it! I appreciate you!

Hey izzy. Over the last year, I’ve lost 110 pounds, gotten a blue belt in BJJ and started taking Muay Thai seriously. You have been a great inspiration to me and I would love nothing more than to meet you and see you fight live. Praise God and bless you, brother!

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!!🏆🥇🙏🏽

Just straight up fight fan! Also love the content❤

Your reaction videos are the best, balanced analysis, while showing real emotions that these electric fights bring. I enjoy watching the UFC and analyzing the pre and post fights with friends. I wasn’t a fan of combat sports until 2020 COVID when other sports froze like Elsa, and it’s been my go-to sport since then. As a Nigerian, you and Kamaru at the helm really ignited my passion for MMA in 2020 and a trip to Australia for UFC 293 will be amazing. Cheers champ! 🎉🎉🎉

I've been following MMA for 5 years now, I fell in love with you when you made your entrance at ufc 243, what audacity to enter in this way for the most important fight of your career. In any case, I dream of being able to see a UFC event live, especially if you're on the card.

I’ve followed you since the Kickboxing days! I really enjoy watching you fight but since the start of the RU-vid channel it’s really cool to see the more personal side of you. My wife has always wanted to visit NZ or Australia! I doubt there’s a chance I win but I really hope you continue the winning ways in Australia! Have a great day!

Just watch you on the halfcast podcast! Funny stuff and some deep convo love it ✌️

Izzy, watching you over come your demons and defeating Alex to reclaim your belt was one of those most inspirational moments of my entire life! You have inspired me to battle and conquer my own demons which I have started on and been working on ever since April 9th, the day after your victory. I've struggled with weight loss and poor self image my entire life but after watching your victory and listening to you on the mic afterwards, i've leaned on that every time I hit a rough patch or when that negative voice inevitably creeps in! I always say to myself "Player #1". Coming to see you in a Sydney would be a dream come true, but regardless, thank you for all that you have given this sports and the fans! We appreciate you more than you know!

My name is Bran, I'm a 23 year old from New Jersey and I would love a trip hosted by you. You are someone that has always inspired me not just because of your success in the cage, but because of who you are as a person. You are so calculated in everything that you do yet you stay completely true to yourself. I remember you talking about working hard but to always enjoy the journey of life and that conversation you had always has stuck with me. This trip would be awesome because I have never been able to travel to that part of the world and the people there are so passionate the atmosphere would be amazing. Big fan always and regardless of if I win or not you continue to inspire people like me so thank you.

As soon as I seen you fight in the UFC I was hooked on the sport. Best fighter about imo! When you did that short speech about the 'LIST' I was like wow yes Izzy!

Hello Izzy, I’m just happy to be entering your giveaway. I started watching MMA sort of late a little before the pandemic and fell quickly in love with the sport and everything that comes the fighters and organization UFC. By far you have grown on me and I’m happy to start my journey watching you evolve up to this point. I love the journey of success and many of others in your camp and circle. I believe I’m am not only excited to win and witness greatness in person for your fight but it would mean a lot because it would be my first ever. I love the person you are not to the world, but also spiritually you are true not every can handle you because your one of a kind 🥰🫶🏾💪🏾. I thought I saw you in Atlanta and got excited to meet you but it wasn’t 😂. Anyway I hope I do get picked, because we are also ♋️ celebrating a birthday around the son no matter how we did it July is the best month. Happy Belated IZZY NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR YOU AND PROSPERITY 😊🫶🏾❤️

What an interesting turn of events from start to end. This is what I love about this sport. Ya just never know how it's going to end. Also good take in the the fight of the night. What Ali said always comes to mind when having fights like this. An angry man can't think and you don't wanna go in and fight Dustin being reckless. Justin keeping his composure and discipline was the factor .

Hey Izzy, I’d love to come to the main card as I’m Australian myself and 293 is on my birthday!! I was having a look at some tickets but unfortunately they are way out of my price range so I won’t be able to go but I’d love to see you fight and with all the other Aussie fighters on my birthday. Would be a dream come true fr.

Izzy! I’m a huge fan of yours! ive been watching and ive been with you since the Rob Wilkinson fight! i take so much inspiration in your style of fighting! i got a lot of your merch! I watch all your fights and stuff on socials! this would be a dream come true to watch you fight and meet you! Love from your biggest fan in Denmark Aya bi Ekun!

Hi Izzy, I’ve been a fan of MMA since 1994, have almost watched every UFC, events, Pride events, Strikeforce, and other lower rank promotions. Unfortunately, I’ve never had a chance to watch any event live due to school and family commitments. I could go to a local event but cannot imagine going to Australia, let alone with one of my favorite athletes of all time in any sport. It’ll be the best experience ever and I had a chance to meet one of our idol, Anderson Silva in person in Torrance Mall and had a great conversation, would be amazing to meet you in person even it’s not for the Sydney Australia UFC 293 event. Thank you so much for always being a true, inspiring, & a dedicated pro and always delivering the good for all the true MMA fans!

How Izzy chooses to carry himself as a human and the hard work he puts in the dark to shine in the light, truly serves as great inspiration to me each day. I work to self actualize and reach great potential while still remembering to be present, mindful, and have fun along this path of life just as he does. Grateful for your energy and words Izzy!

Big fan Izzy. I’ve been on the same journey as you albeit in the medical field. Naija to Moscow to London and now a heart surgeon at a prestigious hospital in the UK. The mental fortitude, perseverance, and commitment to securing a legacy. I empathise with it all. This is spiritual.

I’m manifesting it bro!! Sydney chilling and bringing unsuspected value!!

I would like to get the trip because I became a UFC fan several years ago and I truly enjoy the shows but I never went to a live event but I can tell the atmosphere in a sold out arena is incredible and I would love to experience it in person. Respect for blessing your fans with such an amazing journey all the way to Sydney

With a tear in my eye, I’ve been manifesting this shit for weeks. Let me get those tickets Izzy. That shit would be like the greatest story of my life then I’d have my Flair moment 💪🦍

Hey Izzy! Huge fan of yours hailing from the US. I remember listening to you talk about your decision to quit your job all those years ago to pursue fighting full time. At the time, I was in a similar position at a job that was teaching me a lot but draining my soul and it was clearly not what I was put on this earth to do. I don’t fight in a ring but I am a lifelong martial artist and a martial artist for life and I believe that, alongside my team of like-minded martial artists, I will change the world through martial arts action films. The conviction that drives you to be the best fighter in the world is, I believe, the same one that lets me know I will succeed in my mission. I quit my job to commit to my mission and I know I made the right decision. But I could use some guidance. If I had the opportunity to go to Sydney to pick the brain of a man who’s made the jump, your brain, I know I will come away with mental fortification and greater insight on how to usher in a new golden era of kung fu movies!

I should get trip because I never been to a UFC event and I always wanted to go to Sydney! Would be an honor to watch you fight live! I WANT IT!!

Great reaction vid once again. I definitely need to see my boy Schultz with you during one of these. But I’ve been working hard to provide for my two kiddos. My wife takes work trips so it would be nice to see my first ufc live fight. No wukkas!

I appreciate your work. I hope you and your family are enjoying the fruits of your labor! Stay close to them! I grew up in homes and facilities, watching you with your family is amazing!! Hope to see you fight live one day! Peace!

I should get that trip brother! Ever since that post fight speech after you KO’d Alex I’ve been sober. I was having trouble with drugs for years and that speech literally brought me to tears and taught me to chase my dreams of being a fighter. Of course it’s a lot of different things, but that speech really did make a difference and your career has affected me a lot. You’ve always been an inspiration but especially these last few months. My sister passed away almost 7 years ago and l was in a deep depression and doing drugs but I’ve been sober almost 4 months and you played a part in it, so it would mean the absolute world to me to win that prize. Regardless I have buckets of respect for you and wanted to show my love and respect ✊

Huge fan of you and Alex! You guys are my top two fighters for sure. Been following you since you joined up with the UFC. My 3 favorite fights of all time happen to be your Gastellum fight, the Ortega Volk fight and then the Poirier Hooker fight. It would be an absolute honor to come over there and watch you fight in person. Visiting Australia is literally the number one item on my bucket list so finally going would be a dream come true. Seeing the reef is a must for me. Me and my wife actually had tickets to come out there as a 30th birthday gift but COVID derailed those plans unfortunately. Afterwards I remember watching Dan's video where he was separated from his family in his hotel for quarantine and it was heart breaking; couldn't leave my kids for that long so those plans were pushed back. Money's not there these days so holding out till things balance out. Even if you choose someone else I'll be out there at some point; it's an absolutely beautiful country let alone continent! Much respect to you guys over there at City (even Whittaker in NZ); you guys are absolute ambassadors for how the people are there. Thanks for any consideration as well! On a side note I loved all the stuff you did with Bert K, he says so many good things about you on his shows

My grandma an Aussie RIP. I had a prime seat for your KO of Alex at UFC 287 in Miami and I am addicted to everything fighting. I would love nothing more than to visit the lucky country and see that amazing card with you headlining.

Seeing Israel live in action would be some once in a lifetime type of emotion. This man is the reason I started watching mma and the reason I’ve done my history/ homework into mma and kickboxing. Single handedly sparked my interest and obsession with the sport. Australia will erupt in September and no matter where im watching from I cannot wait for the nerves to shoot through my body watching my favourite fighter conquer the octagon yet again! 💪🏽

hey izzy, i've been watching you for just short of 4 years now but in these past 4 years, you've taken over my life, i would say watching you, your fights and the way you talk inspires me a whole lot and what you said after the alex fight was in my mind the whole time until i gave my medical school entrance test and now i've passed the exam with flying colours. For an INDIAN FAN winning YOUR fight tickets could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness a banger of a rivalry going down, it provides an unmatched atmosphere, with electrifying energy, passionate fans, and the thrill of seeing the world's best fighters face off against each other. It allows me to be a part of the action, cheering for my favorite fighter and sharing the excitement with thousands of fellow enthusiasts. I wish to talk to you and cherish the moment with the team if i have a chance to win this, even if i dont, ill be waiting for you to visit india, anyways lots of love my guy

1:09 when Tony got the knock down 😂

Who's performance surprised you the most on the main card? 🤔

Big fan of you and you fighting style. Ive never been to ufc event, that's one thing I haven't got to do yet.

I should get the trip because I train, watch mma fights, breakdowns n tip videos every day to improve. I haven't really went to a combat sports event ( only a grappling event I participated in ) and I'm really excited to do that and if it could be a ufc event I would be very grateful and love every second of it. On top of that I admire a lot of the things you have done in your life, both in mma and out of it. I would be be excited to meet u and get to know you a little bit. If I don't win the giveaway I will still be cheering for you! Good luck!

After watching you for four years now, I have never understood my assignment and purpose in life than ever. The confidence you impacted in me just by following you, watching postcards that you were featured , interviews, fights, documentaries about you!. I always look forward to whatever you want to say, actions and things to learn again. Cause there is never a dull moment from you to me, as far as I’m concern. I’m just glad you have your RU-vid channel where I can get to know you closely and even more. Reading and studying you as a person has really shaped my life for greatness. Sincerely, I wouldn’t have ask for a greater fighter order than you. You are not only skillful in the octagon, you are versatile. Versatile enough to become a president someday. Maybe to us in Nigeria 😊… And I might have the privilege to call you Mr president Adesanya. You made me started watching UFC, in your first fight with Wilkinson, but something made my spirit resonate with you, which I can’t explain till date. your originality and Yoruba speaking man that you are. You never forget who you are. Mr Alagidi, Aya bi ekun 😊…as I funky call you. You might still make me stop watching UFC whenever you retire. I will like to retire with you. I would love to see you someday, in my wildest dream. Maybe now is the time to see the man I have always look up to. Maybe Universe and Jesus will make us cross part. I wish and I pray so. If I am ever given this opportunity to meet you, I will tell the whole world that I meet the man of my wildest dream. My children, children’s children, children’s children children will ear the story again and again and again from their father. So help me God. Amen To my Champ, the two time middleweight champion of the world!!!! Isreal Adesanya, Temitayo Mobolaji Temitayo Oluwafemi Owolabi. ❤❤❤
