    Hey Izzy, I’ve never been to a UFC event before and I’d love to come see you fight in Sydney. Been a big fan of your striking skills and would love that to be my first event. Specifically I think you’re one of the only fighters in the UFC that utilizes feinting well and it often goes unnoticed. It’s like Messi feinting but in the octagon. But I still hope to come see you fight in the future. Just don’t go retiring early!

    Hey Izzy, your the reason I started watching UFC I always respected how you stay true to yourself and never let people change you. You also inspire me as another Nigerian who immigrated for a better life because I feel like I can relate to you a lot. Especially like childhood things like growing up with Nigerian parents being bullied things like that. I look up to you and what you were able to accomplish with the minimal support from your parents when you first started fighting. I can relate a lot because when I was playing football I always felt that lack of support from my parents. It would be a dream and an honor to watch you fight in Sydney.

    Honestly seeing you fight would be a dream come true. I started watching your fights after hearing how well people spoke of your fighting style and I had to watch, and as it goes, I quickly got fascinated and obsessed with how you not only fought, but how you prepare for your fights and how you view yourself and opponents. I always tell friends how I have to see you fight live one day, I thought that day would be in SA, but anywhere in the world would be beautiful and meaningful. I would love the opportunity to see you fight in Sydney, to be a part of the crowd, cheering and seeing my favorite Mixed Martial Artist winning and being a part of the experience.

I’ve been training just a little over a year now but I’ve never been to a ufc event ever or really any live fighting event. It would be an absolute blessing to get to watch you the stylebender in person, it’ll be like one of those full circle moments for me and that’s why I would be honoured to see you in Sydney cap off another historic victory.

    In a world where dreams felt far away, I found comfort in Israel Adesanya's inspiring journey. He never gave up, and that inspired me during tough times. He won both in the ring and in life, a true champion. So, I entered a contest to win a trip to see him fight. And guess what? I won! When I watched him in the arena, I felt a strong connection. His bravery reminded me of my own struggles, and I realized I'm a champion too. From that day on, I faced challenges with bravery and never gave up. I became the hero of my own story, painting a picture of strength and hope. 🙏🏽

    I have witnessed the passion and hard work you put into your craft. Your commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the Octagon is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Your fights are not just battles; they are a showcase of the artistry and finesse that make mixed martial arts so captivating.(especially, your fight with your Hero (the spider) where you saw the flying kneel coming and move out quickly).
    Attending one of your UFC fights has been a dream of mine for a long time. The energy, excitement, and camaraderie that fill the arena during your bouts are unparalleled. To experience that atmosphere firsthand would be an absolute privilege and an unforgettable moment in my life.
    Beyond being a fan of your fighting skills, your approachable and genuine personality has also touched me. You engage with your fans on a personal level, and that makes me feel a connection to you as a human being beyond the fighter I admire.
    I have always been a firm believer that experiences like this create lasting memories that stay with us forever. To have the chance to witness your greatness in person would be an honor, and I can assure you that my enthusiasm for the sport and your talent knows no bounds.
    If you consider me for this incredible opportunity, I promise to embrace it with boundless excitement and gratitude. It would be an incredible privilege and a chance of a lifetime. I will cherish the experience and share it with others to inspire them just as you have inspired me.

    I stay up till 5-6am for all your fights, be it with the boys or just watching at home alone. It's been a dream of mine to watch a ufc event for over 5 years but I could never justify making a trip out as I'm only 21 and don't got that kinda money yet.
    If I won the giveaway I'd bring my friend Boyan, he got me into MMA when I had just moved to Spain from Ireland at the age of 12 and didn't have no friends and no way of communicating with almost anyone. I began training MMA with him and his dad who was the trainer and I instantly felt like I had found somewhere I belonged in such a foreign environment. He works as an acrobat with his parents in Spain still and I know he would totally buzzing to see a ufc event live, especially one of yours.
    Love from Ireland Izzy, and even if I don't win, imma be watching 💪❤️‍🔥

But to be honest it's not just you, it's not just your life that has inspired me it's the community and family you have around you. This really stood out for me, when I watched Fau's funeral, seeing the whole team there all supporting each other made me realise what it means to have friends that are true family. When Luka dropped The Year That Was Vol 2 it showed me the correlation of art, MMA and life, ultimately changing my life. I want to thank you for everything you've done on the world stage to inspire people, to the small things you do behind closed doors.

I’m the other side of the world in Ireland, I’ve only got to see one UFC card live in london which completely broke the bank for me but it was to see another one of my favorites, Gaethje fight live and it was an experience that was unforgettable for me as a fight fan. Seeing you KO Pereira was one of the most inspirational moments I’ve ever seen. Watching MMA for me has evoked so many emotions and inspired me at times where I would be at my worst. I’d love the opportunity to travel to Sydney but not only that I have family in Melbourne who I’ve met only once and while I’m over that side of the world I’d love to go down to them for a few days afterwards and spend some time with them.

I'm not gonna cap I got on the bandwagon when you cracked Whittaker into oblivion. Your celebration afterwards was quite possibly the best in sports history. Since then I have been following you religiously. You made me a fan of combat sports and looking into your combat fight record is astonishing. Well over 100 fights in total and the way you have been dominating in the UFC is remarkable my boy. You inspire me and millions with your gamemanship, ethic, and personality. You create a narrative to be yourself and in turn makes me confident to pursue anything in life. The way you came back from the jaws of defeat against Poatan will be talked about for hundreds...THOUSANDS of years. I'm not gonna sit here and sugg your D anymore but my dude I appreciate what you have done for the game and the world. You have made a life long fan in a white boy from bumfuk Washington State. Much love and continued success to the greatest combat athlete of all time, looking forward to what your career has in store. P.S. please beat the living dogshi* of inbred strickland, we don't claim him in America.

    You are the only reason I got into UFC. Your fighter spirit on and off the canvas is something to emulate. I almost died last year, losing my brother to a car accident this year and getting divorced in February life has been lifeing. But for some reason I watch your vids, throw on your engage gear and that shit lights a fire in me. It would be dope to catch my first ever UFC fight in person and get a chance to meet you. I know you say you are not a role model but man you set the tone my guy and that is real. Truly helped me through some dark times. No NPC, player 1 always!

The whole card was fire with lots of finishes and getting to see you painting your art live and in person was beautiful. I might be a slightly bigger fan of the uncrowned 145 lb champ tho.

I tune into all of your fights, videos, and podcast that you have been on. Ariel Helwani’s show, Flagrant, Brilliant Idiots, etc. You give great insight and analysis of the fighting world.

    Huge fan of you and Alex! You guys are my top two fighters for sure. Been following you since you joined up with the UFC. My 3 favorite fights of all time happen to be your Gastellum fight, the Ortega Volk fight and then the Poirier Hooker fight. It would be an absolute honor to come over there and watch you fight in person. Visiting Australia is literally the number one item on my bucket list so finally going would be a dream come true. Seeing the reef is a must for me. Me and my wife actually had tickets to come out there as a 30th birthday gift but COVID derailed those plans unfortunately. Afterwards I remember watching Dan's video where he was separated from his family in his hotel for quarantine and it was heart breaking; couldn't leave my kids for that long so those plans were pushed back. Money's not there these days so holding out till things balance out. Even if you choose someone else I'll be out there at some point; it's an absolutely beautiful country let alone continent! Much respect to you guys over there at City (even Whittaker in NZ); you guys are absolute ambassadors for how the people are there. Thanks for any consideration as well!

I've struggled with weight loss and poor self image my entire life but after watching your victory and listening to you on the mic afterwards, i've leaned on that every time I hit a rough patch or when that negative voice inevitably creeps in!

At the time, I was in a similar position at a job that was teaching me a lot but draining my soul and it was clearly not what I was put on this earth to do.
    I don’t fight in a ring but I am a lifelong martial artist and a martial artist for life and I believe that, alongside my team of like-minded martial artists, I will change the world through martial arts action films.
    The conviction that drives you to be the best fighter in the world is, I believe, the same one that lets me know I will succeed in my mission. I quit my job to commit to my mission and I know I made the right decision. But I could use some guidance. If I had the opportunity to go to Sydney to pick the brain of a man who’s made the jump, your brain, I know I will come away with mental fortification and greater insight on how to usher in a new golden era of kung fu movies!

    From the moment my dad introduced me to the thrilling world of the UFC at the tender age of 10, I have been captivated by its raw intensity and sheer athleticism. And now, as a 14-year-old, my passion for this exhilarating sport has only intensified.
    Amidst the countless fighters I have had the privilege of watching, none have resonated with me quite like you. Your fighting style is a masterpiece, a mesmerizing display of skill and strategy that sets you apart from the rest. From lightning-fast strikes to seamless submission maneuvers, you possess an arsenal of techniques that leaves your opponents in shock and fans like me in awe.
    Yet, what truly amazes me is your unparalleled ability to bounce back from defeat. In a sport where victories and losses are both part of the journey, witnessing how you rise from the ashes, unfazed by setbacks, is truly inspiring. It is a testament to your unwavering dedication, mental fortitude, and indomitable spirit.
    As I look back on the countless victories I have cheered for and the few losses that have left me crestfallen, a realization emerges. In the vast octagon of legendary UFC fighters, you stand as a colossal figure, a titan among giants. You have etched your name in the annals of history as one of the greatest of all time.
    The mere thought of being chosen to witness your fight live fills me with an indescribable sense of joy. Imagining myself amidst the roaring crowd, breathlessly witnessing your every move, is a dream come true. And in my heart, there is no doubt that you would emerge triumphant, your hand raised in victory, igniting an eruption of cheers and celebration.
    You are more than just a fighter. You are an inspiration, a hero in the eyes of fans like me who admire your grit, determination, and unwavering commitment. Thank you for gracing the octagon with your exceptional talent and for being a shining example of what it means to be a true champion.
    In my eyes, you transcend the boundaries of a sport and become a symbol of resilience and greatness. May your legacy continue to flourish, and may the fire that burns within you, the fire that fuels your pursuit of glory, never waver.
    With unwavering admiration and a heart brimming with anticipation, I eagerly await the moment when I have the privilege of witnessing your greatness unfold before my eyes.

    I should get the trip because I train, watch mma fights, breakdowns n tip videos every day to improve. I haven't really went to a combat sports event ( only a grappling event I participated in ) and I'm really excited to do that and if it could be a ufc event I would be very grateful and love every second of it. On top of that I admire a lot of the things you have done in your life, both in mma and out of it. I would be be excited to meet u and get to know you a little bit. If I don't win the giveaway I will still be cheering for you! Good luck!

    I would like to get the trip because I became a UFC fan several years ago and I truly enjoy the shows but I never went to a live event but I can tell the atmosphere in a sold out arena is incredible and I would love to experience it in person. Respect for blessing your fans with such an amazing journey all the way to Sydney
