very huge

[@georgecroney6168]

I disagree, fighters come and go, the story doesn't really change. Peter bleksley, celebrities and entrepreneur kind of guests are unique and why we all subscribed in the first place

[@Simargo]

@@georgecroney6168 TG will continue to have those guests too. But Izzy isn't just any fighter. He's a fighter with, not only some of the biggest hype in the UFC right now, but has the potential to go down as one of the all-time greats. Izzy is an exceptional guest for the viewers, it's great for TG, it's even great for Izzy, to be exposed to the UK demographic who might not necessarily be totally into the UFC yet but enjoy his personality You can disagree but it's a win for all parties, even you Georgey boy, the more Brian has big guests like Izzy, the bigger the guests will be in the future, including the entrepreneurial types you so adore

Man it's so good to see Izzy knowing what he has to do right in his next fight. In his last three fights, he said that he has never gone much for the instincts, during the Jan fight too he said he saw some openings still he didn't gone for it and stuck to the game plan and sometimes trusting your instincts works wonders and for Izzy it's the best ❤️
