    I'm a huge Fan of Izzy as a Fighter. Then through a few or actually many interviews (I've probably seen most) and comments I feel as though Izzy has introduced Us to his "Truer" self. I've never met the man is person so obviously I don't really know him but he's always very specific about his ways of thinking and why and it always to me at least appears we're getting to in part the Real Him.
    He's a great Man and Entertainer for so many reasons. He is Human and that's what makes him great.
    Dude Burps almost every interview. That's Real. (poor guy) someone get him a Tums! LOL.
    He always has some Gem of knowledge he drops every interview where I'm like this guy really is the truth.
    I'm a grown man with grown children. I'm damn 43 I don't idolize other men like kids do but what I'm actually saying is finding other like minded people to Entertain you or Learn new things from and Intelligent people to learn from is the way I prefer to find my Entertainers. I try not to waste time on Id-iots!
    Izzy is at the Top of a game MMA that I love and I'll continue to follow his Ride, and Further Rise.
    Now to this interviewer.
    No Clue who he was before this Interview.
    Now.
    I'm a Fan and like Arnold said.
    I'll Be Back!
    Can't wait to see more. I enjoyed your realness in your interview style. Like a friend trying to find something new to talk about. Super Refreshing.
    Thank You.

    Wanting to show friends your cool toys I don't think even has to necessarily be look at what you can achieve. Or I deserve it or even I earned it and so can you.
    Also how about just look at it because it's a cool toy. Look at the Artistry or Engineering in this Cool Toy it's Amazing.
    If your friends are haters about the toys you buy then 1 of a few things.
    1. Maybe they aren't really a friend as you thought.
    2. Maybe they're just a Hater but still your friend. Lol some friends are jealous haters.
    3. Sometimes people don't know how to act and you just have to give them time to adjust to new things. Humans fear change. New schools, new houses, new jobs, new gf, bf, etc. We fear change maybe even when it's someone else's change.
    So if it's a real friend give them time to adjust to all the changes because as a friend you need to and if you realize they're Not a real friend and they're hating on your success. Well then Fuq them.
