"I don't follow basketball, i just follow greatness" 🐐 recognize each others
Recognise that he's just throwing his name out there with the kobe accident.
@@overheatedeskim054 stfu
Same reason everyone has heard of him, same reason everyone has heard of Justin Bieber or Kim Kardhashian...
@JG Pasi everyone who's a fan of sports knows Kobe Bryant. Same thing with Michael jordan, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Floyd Mayweather jr, Arnold Schwarzenegger Now if you talk about personal life questions of course only avid fans will know 🙄
@Jocky Rohnson I sincerely didn't even know that's how they were called, thank you mate 💪. Anyway, you get the point 😂.
UFC *248* That's kobe's numbers...
Deep
Wow couldn't be more fitting for Izzy to KO the beast to honor KOBE.
True. How fitting and ironic
thats crazy when u think about how izzy has this weird connection with numbers
24 × 2 = 48.... (2(4)8)... Whoa
The fact that its shot in a garage shows the real kiwi life of every youngman that has been successful in any sport, thats the kiwi way grassroots at its best ... real content coming through love it izzy
@Toa Kasi i assure you any one from working communities can relate to this not just minorities this dude is an inspiration meng
Toa Kasi women in auckland are fucking gorgeous man
When's the movie coming out?
Read this whole thing in a kiwi accent 😆
Bro start a petition izzy needs to be in all video games asap💯💯💯🎮
My man is a millionaire by now in career earnings, training in an old and beat down garage. Mad respect. That’s why I like him, Adesanya is as humble as it gets. He gives people his time for interviews too. The dude is just generous and happy to be where he is.
Truth right here, easy to get distracted when the 0's add up in the bank account, but izzy grounds himself with the people that got him there. Respect.
I love this shit. The ghetto lil raggedy gym, the 90’s hip hop in the back. This is authenticity.
My mans is training in a garage like he doesn't own a $475,000 2019 McLaren 720s spider. Major respect.
Sipho Francis Twala Never forget where it all started 💪🏾
I'm not gonna say this isn't true but this was filmed for a purpose and they will put in the video what they want. I'm sure he doesn't only train in a garage ^^ That being said I like adesanya he's a good guy
@Sprigan-30 Blacklion you literally just made that up with no substance at all. so tell which ufc fighters have told you they dont care where they train. You must know alot of them to be making this statement 😂
Cars don’t make you change camps. They make you rock up in style.
MDB TJ Dillashaw trains in a garage Brian Ortega too do you feel like a idiot now if you care about where you train and not just putting the work in you probably won’t be in the ufc ive seen Jon hot pads in his garage rose is building a gym in her garage you don’t need a huge facility to work on your craft dumbfuck
"I never watched basketball, I just followed greatness." Real talk. Mamba mentality is world wide.
The world lacks manners and respect...a man in a tin shed requests it from the world champ.. the respectfully gives it.
Mclaren started in a tin shed too.. Kiwis are like texans. Leave em alone long enough and some ignorant amazing shit finna happen
Who respects anyone in this day n age?
@@dereoncarter676it was the whole point of the video!
As an islander from NZ, just want to say thanks for repping NZ Izzy! Means a lot bro!
@TheTimbalanders u must not know much Islanders
Respect from the irish
@TheTimbalanders Wtf you on about? Sonny bill williams, joseph parker, mark hunt, dwayne johnson to name a few
Awesome how he reps NZ to the fullest, while staying true to his Nigerian heritage/roots
@@yoza2392 Ross Taylor
This young man is the real deal. I'm so glad to see this. Real Champ, Real greatness. Carry on my young brother I am so proud of you. The rose that grew from the concrete. What a beautiful sight...
This is why he is and will continue to be great and reach greatness...training even when not in a fancy gym...even when he's at the top of the sport he keeps humble
he's been training in fancy gyms...
Izzy can only lose to Jon jones I dont see anyone beating him at 185 he too good
Pay attention, he came here for wealth of knowledge. That's it. He was born in a wealthy family he would never so stuff like this other wise
He’s far from humble... might be the cockiest fighter on the roster right now
@@mrl434 dont mistake confidence for cockiness
Legends never die...they live on forever. RIP to the GOAT Kobe and his baby gurl Gigi.
@El diablo da Costa I can't even begin to explain how fucking stupid you and that comment is. Dumbass
dont trust another nigga with yo life. Shoulda never got on that helicopter with strangers. thats why I always do the driving, put my life in my own hands.
@El diablo da Costa wow wasn't necessary. He didn't even say all that🤫
“I don’t follow basketball, I follow greatness.”
Bruh this grass roots as it gets
Recognizing Twist!
Bullshit. If this was a white guy the leftists and Leftist media would be screaming about the fact he was throwing plastic in the bun and not getting his food from wholesalers. This guy is never going to be exposed as a fake because he took over the reign at the beginning of a power vacuum. Black Privilege IJWUALS(F)CIIABM xx
Tee revevour Deminingo fuck off with that poison, nobody wants to know.
@@dannychristie1 thats a dollar mate
Tee revevour Deminingo yeah your media might... not here in nz... we don’t gaf about what y’all wanna bleet on about over there 🤣🤣
Love how you stay humble , Nigerian mamba! 8/24
"Legends never die," remided me of that line in Sandlot. "Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Follow your heart kid, and you'll never go wrong."
man.. Tristam Twstr Ave-IkakiMoana been around for years! he used to have a kick boxing class me and my bro used to go to down at our local rec centre in Mangere south Auckland when we were 12 yrs old. its great to see him still passionate and still involved with combat sport. keep it up brother. #8Kobe24
Done some grappling with twist ages ago top guy super nice
Toko is still in Mangere bro, still the coach, still humble, still a special person
I dig the miata. 97 S14 Kouki right here.
Tristam is the man!
@@DOHC2L nice! Have you looked into getting a rocket bunny Boss kit for the s14? That'll be mint.
Izzy should start his own KZhead channel shit would be lit 💯🙏
he and dan had a podcast on maori tv but producer was a shithouse and it only lasted a year or so
Just told my boy to watch and listen to the crew, and the attitude/vibe...this is what it is son, to understand that the roots are the strongest part of a staunch tree.
Thats a good place to train. It keeps you humble :)
🙏🙏🙏🐐
Kobe is a legend. R.I.P. thank you Adesanya
🙏🙏🙏
From using "kobe" to "for kobe" when shooting balls in the basket
Just kobe.
John Pilac stolen comment
@@crimzonrayz3274 so is yours. I've seen your exact comment so many places.
@@blim1370 you shut the fuck up. Nobody gives two shits about copied comments like that moron or you.
YSAmmo shut the fuck up
That 90's HipHop music playing; got to get the vibe right.
Then win this next fight my dude!!! Love watching you fight. Very entertaining! Rip KOBE!!
A A RON this the same guy who walked out to Nipsey Hussle and put up the greatest fight I’ve ever seen against gastelum
Big- Icy-Hot yeah he will win for sure.
Dude stay doing you man, you appreciate the truly beautiful aspects of life. Most athletes around your level get into big ass fancy gyms. You’re a breath of fresh air! who ever raised you, good on them!!
Thats a REAL FIGHTER GYM !!!! I LIKE THAT !!! Greetings from vienna
Nope publicity
@@xxxgames4458 what advertising? what a shit you talk!
small shed, pair of boxing gloves and WILL is all you need ❤️
Xxx game lol... how can this be publicly when thats one of his trainers 🤦♂️
This week has been one of the hardest times of my life watching and listening to the media about Kobe Bryan. I watched him played in my living room for 20 years and was never a Laker fan but I was a Kobe fan. When guys had arguments about basketball 🏀 weather they’re laker fan or not, I would listen to some of the guys talk and say that Kobe is selfish and that’s he’s not a team player. I always use to say listen up guys, you might not like him but he’s one of the best players ever to play the game. He’s work ethics was insane and you saw after his retirement he was still laser focused.I don’t know but I see a lot of things different from the average person. I’m a bodybuilder so I know what it takes to get the job done. Great athletes get criticized just for being great. Society is so messed up right now. No one gives respect and credit where credit is due. It’s been 2 days now and I still can’t stop crying 😭 over his lost. I feel so bad for his family. He was also very respectful to others. It hits home for me because I have 3 girls myself the youngest is 4. I’m 50 years old and I wouldn’t trade my kids for the world. I feel the bond he had with his kids. My heart is scared for life guys. One a second note I also like that fact that the old garage made champions, and the coach also demands respect. Thanks for reading guys. I just felt that it was something that I had to write. bigpetetraining.com
Love the oldschool hiphop on the background.
As a Brit I wish this Kiwi cousin all the success coming his way. Legend in the making.
I wasn't sure about Izzy but he seems like a cool guy. May you prosper young man.
Shade On A Cool Day Israel legend
This was a fantastic video. I've seen Twistr working with Izzy, but to get the story and some of those grass roots feels of this training space. It's just awesome. Thanks a lot for letting us inside.
Knowing he comes from New Zealand makes me feel like I can make it out in the world! Thank you Israel!
He is from Nigeria
But grew up in nz and got all his training there lol
What is wrong with you Nigerians, yes he his from Nigeria and I'm Nigerian too, but let those from New Zealand claim him too, because he represents both countries....smh 🙄🙄
Andrew Jackson I’m from Nigeria like Izzy but he can still claim New Zealand because they’ve helped him through the ages.
Prince Jonas im from Ethiopia but I’m New Zealander now like Izzy so we are kiwi but that doesn’t mean we not african.
All greatness comes from Humble beginnings!!
I love this my champ u stay humble
"what name am I gonna yell?" 6 very well chosen words
Swoosh!!... Kobe Bryant!
I respect that he trains in the grimiest of all gyms
I don’t follow basketball but the legends never die. Kobe was a lover of his family so much. He was humble guy.
Fast becoming my favourite channel on KZhead, keep it up 👍
Humble and genuine keep it up guys, love from the states
I love when goats appreciate goats! Rip Kobe
3:07 " Hips don't lie Shakira" This guy is too funny 😂
Came here to write something similar lol. My favourite bit!
Check his Joe Rogan interview out if you haven't. The kid is a fucking riot.
The fact that its UFC "248" just feels like its Israels destiny to do something great.
So glad this channel exists. Get to see the future goat training and getting even better as well as him in his natural environment just enjoying life. Great content, thank you! Rip Black Mamba, your mamba mentality will forever live on through all of us. #ripkobe #ripgigi
Tumeke for representation of Aotearoa and a bless to Kobe bro
Well done young man. Kobe touched so many people’s hearts and was a huge inspiration to many of us. ✌️
The wealth of knowledge is priceless, so much respect
Beautiful spirits recognize each other.. RIP.. Legends are Immortal ❤️
Love the raw content keep it up
I love how raw this place looks
When fighting the island boi, remember what chael says. "Can't let you get close!"
From humility comes greatness. R.I.P + Kobe, Gigi ❤Adesanya
Two Legends
Longer videos please. Lovely stuff
Dope vid. The Pharcyde playing in the background. A look at a humble place they hone their elite striking. UFC 24-8 which are Kobe's numbers. Izzy's connection to numbers with his 720S being tied to Naruto's 720 episodes in the series. Wild stuff. Keep up the good work fellas
Humble beginnings... something a lot of ethnic kiwis can relate too! Inspiration 🙏🏽
Twis is a wealth of knowledge! Loved watching that guy fight back in the day!
Imagine they’re last moments together, the fear that they all must’ve felt just gives me chills. No words can explain how tragic this is. RIP Kobe and Gianna Bryant and those on board 😭🙏🏻
Great respect men. Thumbs up from Nigeria. We must not forget our roots. Great respect man.
Respect bruh. I love what you are doing and for you who are not a fan of b-ball to big my mans man much love.
Love to watch you work man
I am becoming a huge fan Adesanya really fast. Can't wait to see him fight again
Super cool, low-key visit. More of this, please.
yesssss the content is getting finessed I love your videographer
Never miss an upload, love this channel!
What a humble champion, lots of respect brother !!
That's right respect for Kobe. I think I can speak on most of Los Angeles were hurting we lost a legend and his beautiful daughter .R.I.P. GO LAKERS GO RAIDERS
Keep unloading these videos please ❤
“Legends never die, they carry on forever”
That a lesson young people have to learn just because your respectful doesn’t mean your weak.
Awesome video great coaches and team around him i think it will be a good year for all the nz/aus fighters 2 champs aready 😊
Well done Israel, you’re doing NZ proud. The loyalty to your roots is awesome to see, many others with your talent would have run away to one of the ‘prestigious’ American teams. You know where you came from, you have honour. All the best next month, you are putting the work in, the first round this guys gonna be dangerous but he’ll gas and you’ll put him away.
he isnt afraid to show he loves anime. that in itself is powerful
🐐🙏🙏🙏
Lovely bit of KRS in the background 👌
RIP #8Kobe24, Israel you're the living legend. I don't follow these channels, I follow the greatness and found you !
To have this type of talent You’ve got to have the mind to go with! Izzy is one of a kind man!
“Legends never die”
So glad I subbed to this channel a while back. Chur Izzy! straight up inspiration 🙌
🙏🙏🙏
Your rite on brother’ men like Kobe live on Forever! Your leaving a legacy rite now that you’ll live on Forever too! Keep on being like you are I as well as thousands admire and respect the way you are!! Super kool honest and like the video I seen with u watching Connor v Cowboy you gave props instead of Hate! Earns big Respect! Best of everything to you sir!!
It would be awesome to sit down at a bar with Adesanya and just chat. He seems like such a chill dude!
That’s why these CKB boys are special. Great knowledge from great coaches.
Has an African moved to the USA and started boxing, my coach gave me the nickname of black mamba after my first amateur fight and I am so grateful to hear people calling me that name cause Kobe was the one I always like to playing ball and his death is really hurting
Rest in eternal peace Kobe& Gianna our hearts are with you Izzy you are an exceptional human being my brother
He does this complicated thing at 3:18 with a straight and an elbow, that I could barely see, and he says "basics".
Great video!!
Nice vid guys , would love more of twist
Man respect to the highest level this is why they fight no riches involved here as pure as you can get in a shed striving to better your life arrogance and fame left at the door this is pure fighting spirit!
