Yayyyyy. I remember the Costa fight. My older son wasn't sure you would prevail. But you did. Emphatically. And we were running and screaming with joy all over the house.

[@sarapatterson6531]

This episode made me have a conversation with my kids. Who are mixed. They've had more f'd up experiences than I ever knew. This podcast is so on point because it has led to so many real convos with my teenage children. Y'all prob have no idea the impact you're having. Literally, changing lives. Do not ever stop. Please.

[@marknesstorres276]

Nice. Agreed 👍

[@joshc.6706]

Oh man seriously one of the best podcasts out there. It was damn near an hour and that just flew but because of the constant and intriguing conversation. Also cool Adesanya mentioned the book of 5 rings, absolute legendary work of art when dealing with martial arts

One Of My Favorite Books Of All Time. "If You Want To MASTER The Sword... Learn To Play The Guitar"

I just finished the episode and I legit could listen to it all over again and still enjoy it just as much!!! Man..... Stylebender and The Pivot crew......😁🥳🥳😁 it don't get much better!!!

Channing is like an uncle at the cookout that just lighten up the mood when the convo gets too crazy...yall are some awesome brothers.

Eazzy!!!!!! Area scatter, so proud of you. Family all day on your team, can never go wrong. We love you!

[@ml2539]

There is something about the ambiance that you guys create…you guys could be in a motel 6 or a mansion. These discussions are warm, curious, respectful. Insightful… love it.

[@pandachris8755]

The way these guys "ask questions" is unmatched. When Fred says "talk about...", It's so much better than asking a very specific question. Very well done

[@TH1NK_BLU3_495]

Didn't like Izzy at first, but the more i watched his fights and saw how he is as a person my man won me over. He is a great fighter. Love watching his fights. Great interview fellas💯

[@monabee5044]

I don’t watch the MMA fighters and never heard of Israel but I enjoyed the interview. He just exemplifies confidence and black excellence. He seems so in tune with who he is as an athlete but more importantly as a person. And he is right, anything looks good on black skin. Love it!

[@bslspeaks]

I love how Izzy is really getting himself out there making MMA even more on the map all over the place

[@supersupera82]

he does so fuckin much for the ufc. best asset on the roster

[@paulgreen4292]

I am so impressed with the pivot, y'all have celebs from all sports, non sport celebs and do a magnificent job. Kudos to the pivot.

[@David.jaemin]

There's few guys that can vibe with any type of conversation no matter what

[@sandman62100]

Alex is going to learn that Izzy doesn't get mad, he gets even. Izzy is the greatest middleweight of all time and it's funny how quickly people forget this. He is the most feared alpha apex predator in this game. This is a man that had the greatest fight of all time against Gastelum. Knocked out and embarrassed Whittaker on his home soil. And straight up violated and humiliated Costa. Put some damn respect on his name. He is so great it almost makes me want to cry. I love him so much. Makes me so damn proud to be NAIJA 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬! We fight, we cry, we are hung, we love this is what it means to be NAIJA!!!

[@zach5751]

**Anderson Silva is the greatest middleweight. Izzy isn’t far off though.

[@dru7585]

youre like the only sane MMA fan

[@zach5751]

@@dru7585 I’m just saying bro Silva @ 10 title defenses to Adesanya @ 5 Title defenses. Which is still huge no doubt on Izzy behalf but people need to not get so caught up in the moment and recognize history and the sport as a whole.

[@lucastfitness7299]

Costa is overrated

[@Sui_Generis0]

Why add we are hung?

[@emmanuela7528]

I and a friend are trying to build an MMA promotion out here in Nigeria and let me tell you, he’s right. The talent is there and the will is plentiful. If the coaching and the facilities catch up, we’re coming. There’s a gap in that most strikers can’t grapple, and most grapplers can’t really strike well, but that’s when the coaching comes in. Once we mix our traditional wrestling styles with the foreign ones like BJJ or Greco-Roman, and get proper Muay Thai coaches, these boys are coming.

[@palepa15]

What! You have Israel on this…awesome!! You guys were already my favourite podcast. Man I would never have thought that someone like Izzy would be on this and yet you got him on. More respect to FF, RC, Chan and everyone else behind the scenes

[@SaintLagniappe]

Love how y’all get these interviews before the big event.

[@ScrapAndRollMMA]

IZZY is such a cool as dude. Happy to see him shine and I love when the Pivot highlights MMA stars.

[@opmjr2427]

Yessir tapping into the UFC world, great show great guests. Keep it rolling 💪🏽

[@josepht5331]

I’m kind of like Fred. I’m a novice in the fight world. I had no idea this was such a team sport. I thought the fighters really did majority of the planning and film watching to get ready but he’s showing that what his team does can really make a difference between winning and losing. Dope episode. An even doper guest… The pivot is always amazing! Love it!

[@dotsongray]

Shoutout The Pivot guys man!! I been wanting them to sit down with Izzy for so long. I had a feeling it would happen before this massive fight at MSG Can’t wait to hollering AND STILL🔥🔥
