As an Australian, I absolutely love that Sean is confusing Australia with New Zealand. It makes the whole scenario even funnier with how he's saying he's more Aussie than Izzy lol.

[@steveng14043]

A lot of Americans think of New Zealand as being Australias version of Hawaii. Not sure why. Maybe most of my fellow Americans are just idiots lol.

No he's not confusing anything. Izzy acts like he's Australian because new Zealand is so close. The fight also happens to be in.... Australia. Sean is just saying he's way more relatable to Australians than Izzy.
