    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!

    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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

    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 💪❤️‍🔥

Thank you for the content it’s always amazing as a fan to get to see something from the athletes perspective.

    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 🤟🏼.

    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.

    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!

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.

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've been watching UFC since its 1st PPV in 90's but I've never been to a live UFC event. I'm a huge fan of Izzy and his post-fight speech after KO'ing Pereira really inspired me to keep my dreams alive while going through a tough mental spot those last few months. I'm thriving now and would love the chance to meet Adesanya and see an event live.

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.

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!

    Hey Izzy👊🏻
    I commented this on the other videos but Hope you’re doing well and training camp is going well🙏🏻
    I can’t wait to witness you put on a masterclass performance against whoever you’re fighting in Sydney and show him why you’re the champ.
    Honestly it would be such a huge honour to watch you live and meet you in person. And to party with you after would be sooooo dope. Been a fan since you debuted. I actually lost my voice when you won the title the first time. Such a good memory.
    But anyways, as much as I would LOVE to win this and watch you fight live and meet you.. if I win this competition.. honestly, the money you would spend on tickets and hotel, I would rather wanna give it to my mother. My family isn’t doing well financially at the moment and it would be such a blessing to just help my mom out with that.
    I’m actually a pure Filipino but I was born and raised in South Africa. So I’m a South African Filipino. So I might not be African on the outside but I do feel African as I grew up in South Africa. And I know as a brother you’d understand my intentions of helping my mother with our bills and debts.
    Even if I don’t win the competition. I still respect that you’re doing this.
    Goodluck with training camp. Stay healthy and we’ll see you retain in Sydney👊🏻👊🏻

    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 ✊

    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.

    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! 💪🏽

    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

    Eyy Izzy,
    Your journey and the way you stay true to yourself has inspired so much change in me. I know you say that you’re not our role model nor our guru and yet your post fight speech after your last win was life changing for me. Although, I will never be able to fully relate to you and your path (which is fine because you are you and I am me) I have taken so many of your lessons and your wisdom and I applied it to my personal growth. Through you I have found an unshakable believe in myself and my personal path to greatness. Thank you for being simply yourself.
    Sean

    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!

      The only way he gets the belt is if he steals it, correct.
