Chapter 1: What are Stylebender's thoughts on his fighting future?
Yeah.
We got Stylebender in the building. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We need an orb. We need a trophy.
Yeah, we need to give you something very special.
Or maybe a blue chew pill or something.
Is there a blue chew pill? Should you take it now?
No, no, no.
And then we just see what happens. I'll pop on with you. I'll pop on with you.

Chapter 2: What happened during Izzy's road rage incident?
Let's go have it. Yeah, guys.
Okay, let's go. Shit is popping off, man.
You know, about this movie. Oh, yeah.
No, we won't do that. We won't do that. We'll leave it.
Listen, bro. First of all, we missed you. It's great to see you again.
I can see there's a lot of growth as well, even just as we've been here. Shout out Blue Shoe.
We got to say something else that's very important because, and Mark, you already spilled the beans, but we can say it. You know, we probably isn't allowed to sign on the podcast to say, congratulations, Mark. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, guys. No, Mark got a baby. Mark had a little baby boy.

Chapter 3: How does Izzy handle street fighting scenarios?
Chapter 4: What is the significance of Jon Jones in Izzy's career?
But I told her after, once the baby came out. Once the baby was out. Yeah. I was like, yo, I'm going to fuck my toe up. You understand? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She got me ice and made food and stuff. You got to keep them working.
Real one, real one, yeah. They get a little bored if they're not still working every second.
When are you going to have some babies already? Me? I don't know. Maybe I already have some. That was my first sign.
China was wild, bro.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. When you're in China, do you just shoot them up? Nah, it's not even that. It was a different time. I was younger and less responsible.
That's great.
That was great.
Who laughed? Was that you? Was it Vala? I don't know why Vala laughed. Vala's like, how does he know?
We had fun in New Zealand. Yeah, I'm responsible. I'm a responsible adult.

Chapter 5: How does Izzy view his legacy in the UFC?
But not everybody can fight from a different place.
Yeah.
Like you fight from one place your entire life. That is your motivation. And then you get to... You get to a time in your life where you feel really achieved, like that giant hole that you have that you're trying to fill. Yeah, but... But it's less big. Izzy, knowing you for the last however long we've known each other, five years or something like that, like... Longer even.
Your level of confidence in yourself, I think people always assumed you were the most confident person. And even now, seeing the way that you've handled that, like... Like to me, that's the demonstration of confidence. That's real confidence.
Because if you lose and then you're completely wiped out, that means that your confidence and identity is wrapped in being the victor and we will not always be the victor in life. So whatever that lady in the Winnebago is telling you, it's working.
Yeah, she's right. So again, we talked about it as well. And I used the avatar Zuko, the firebender when he... became friends with Aang and then they had to, he had to find a new way to firebend because he didn't have that anger anymore. They met the original firebenders, the dragons, and they relearned firebending.
So for me, that's one of the main reasons I haven't even been to the jungles yet, because I just know that it's not my whole fuel, but I like having that, you know, I'm going to fucking show you like that. You fucking kidding me? I like the chip. The chip is a great motivation. He always brings up Bernard Hopkins.
Yeah. On who? Bernard Hopkins?
He always brings up Bernard Hopkins.

Chapter 6: What motivates Izzy to keep fighting?
You see how much money they're wasting?
No, no, no. He's definitely on it. He's definitely on it. He's bugging it. No, but he didn't even know until, for MSG as an example, like Drake or Travis Scott for an MSG show, that's 25, 35 trucks that are out there. Oh, shit.
And we're talking about the 18- Yeah, I know the ones.
And he's talking at MSG, everything needs to be unloaded by forklifts. So you've got dozens. They're just all lined up ready to unload this.
It's pretty awesome when you see everybody put it together, but also when they take it apart. Yeah.
But he didn't know a few days ago. from Jelly Roll telling you how many trucks he had. And I'm like sitting there saying, what time was your load in to get this all up? And he's like, walk and chalk at three o'clock in the morning. And Andrew's like, yeah, what time are you doing that? I was like, yours was at 6 a.m. He says, I didn't see that. I was like, we saw it. Yeah.
You walk into an empty shell, and there's forklifts outside, and it's in, and there's a whistle that blows, and now the rigging crew comes in.
So now this, and then you- So even if you have to go, say, Abu Dhabi, when you do that, do you have to transfer all your stuff over there? You'll get local vendors. Oh, okay, I see, I see.
But like- But I would say our show probably has a lot more elements than the average stand-up show. I would say that Kill Tony is a production too, so they'll have multiple trucks. But I think the average stand-up show doesn't do it like that. I think a lot of guys just show up and whatever's here, they do it. And we did that for years. Y'all have flames. We wanted to see what we could do.
