Stylebender | Official Trailer HD | September 28

STYLEBENDER is an intimate look at Israel Adesanya, the Nigerian-born, New Zealand-based MMA champion, which goes beyond the octagon and delves deep into an unlikely fighter's journey. Exploring Israel’s experiences of masculinity, bullying, mental health and the healing power of dance, the film is a poignant examination of the complex, electrifying and sometimes controversial figure known as 'The Last Stylebender.'

Love him or hate him you can never question his ability, dedication, achievements, individuality and lack of fear to speak his mind. He could be like everyone else and just say what you want to hear buy Izzy speaks from the heart and always wears his heart on his sleeve which is pretty rare in this day and age with sport stars.

I saw the film back at its Tribeca premiere with Izzy, his fam and Eugene all in attendance, very special experience. If you’re an Izzy fan or even just a documentary or cinema fan, strap in, this thing is exciting, enlightening and packs an enormous emotional gut punch. One for the ages, thank you Izzy for your vulnerability, creativity and greatness all so magnificently displayed in Stylebender. Watch it in a theater if you can, the fights looked amazing, immersive and visceral on the big screen.

[@SmokedBarnacles]

daaaamn that’s insane. seeing a legend in his prime like izzy would be incredible

[@SPACEGAME-tf7dr]

I signed up how do I see the film

[@William1115]

What I felt when I discovered Muhammad Ali, watched every fight recorded, every footage of him, I could not believe someone like him was real. I felt like someone touched my soul. I have similar feeling watching Izzy since his first UFC fight. Ofc he is different human being, but so captivating. To witness his era is incredible and I take so much motivation from them both. 💪🏿🤴🏿🙏

Cant wait to watch this movie such a big fan Izzy, you give out good energy and inspire a lot of us men and women ❤

[@Lafawduhs]

Sean already fought 3x in 2023. Two of them were short notice. Dominated Izzy without a full camp, 4 weeks notice and minimal time for his body to adjust to a 14 hours timezone difference. Just a absolutely sad performance for Izzy in Australia first event since 2019. Infront of all his family, friends, home country. Izzy knows it. He might be scared that the Pereira war might've taken him out of his prime sooner than intended. His chin might be toasted if he got dropped bad by Sean who only had 5 knockdowns total (not KOs) in 19 fights for UFC.

[@federalgodson]

I look forward to seeing this movie. I can't wait until it's available for all of us.

Beautiful brother. To watch the journey you and Eugene have been on is the best, most inspiring story I’ve ever witnessed. Meitaki Atupaka!

[@beanie1089]

You know what separates this from my abandoned love for McGregor? Izzy has over one hundred fights. He's won one hundred and six and lost eight? He overcame his complexes with bettering himself but not losing sight of where he came from, where as people like Conor who taste success, never defend their title because of fear of being exposed, and use money to psychologically bully others into liking them. Izzy's the real deal. Think he's an awesome human being and am excited to watch this.

[@Anonymiss_333]

Goosebumps, I can feel the emotions already.

[@JamesWilson-ts5xk]

Looks awesome. I hope you can manage to remain humble in the face of all the fame Izzy. I’ve been following you since your ufc debut and you quickly became my #1 after GSP retired. Even though I’m an Aussie. Volk got my heart too - you’re equals in my books and I love seeing you both collab! Much love mate and all the best for the next 10-20!
