Why does Izzy try so hard to be an anime character?

[flowoftruth]

People’s lives are complicated and fans on the internet rarely know the whole story.

There was a reason his parents left Nigeria. That was to give their children better opportunities.

When his parents got to New Zealand all of their degree didn’t transfer. They had to go back to school. So Adesanya at young age had to work a cleaner with his father to support his mother through nursing school

His family want through their fair share of hardship. People are just ignorant

Working as a cleaner isn't hardship... Come on now

its his gimmick
lol

Dude there is alot more to the story. Go acutally google and listen to his whole story. Instead of trying make judgement off snippets you saw a fourm or clip.

Great fighter. He is obviously a bit messed up emotionally and in the head.

Maybe that is what made him a great fighter.

I am not sure if normal people win championships in pro mma, you have to be a bit off. GSP was OCD, Fedor had the psycho stare, we already know about Jones. . . .

Many people have hardship


It doesn't turn the rest of us into gay degenerate anime addicts

Everybody wants to be Goku…

Is normal.

Found this one on youtube:

In the harsh and unforgiving world of middle-class comfort, there lived a young boy named Israel Adesanya. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, he faced the unimaginable struggle of having both parents with steady jobs. His father, a cold-hearted accountant, and his mother, a relentless nurse, made sure he had everything he needed—a roof over his head, food on the table, and an education. The horror.But the suffering didn't stop there.

When Israel was just 10 years old, his parents decided to put him through the ultimate ordeal: they moved the family to New Zealand, a place with clean streets, good schools, and endless opportunities. How could they be so cruel? They forced him to live in a nice neighborhood and even provided him with his own room. The loneliness must have been unbearable.

As if that wasn't enough, his parents pressured him into extracurricular activities, like martial arts. They pushed him toward success, giving him every chance to thrive. The tragedy of it all.Despite this overwhelming comfort, Israel somehow found it within himself to become a UFC champion. So when you hear him talk about growing up in poverty and the ghetto, just remember the true struggle he endured. It's a wonder he survived at all.

Main character syndrome. It's cringe.

 

[Tim_Seraphim]

why does everyone give Izzy shit for anime? Mark Hunt literally dyed his hair blonde and has the nickname "Super Samoan" in honor of DBZ and Super Saiyans. Josh Barnett plays fucking Magic the Gathering for fucks sake. you guys watch too much movies and try to box people into categories. there's a lot of fighters who are into anime and video games and all kinds of other nerdy shit, that doesn't mean they wouldn't sleep you in seconds if you were feeling froggy.

Josh came out to Bolt Thrower; he can do whatever nerd things he likes.

Because he doesn't know how to have his own personality, so he takes all his personas from somewhere else.
He really is a walking identity crisis sir.

The worst was when he emulated this guy's persona:

Iol ffs

Found this one on youtube:

I knew he had it rough, but not THAT rough. Jesus, have a warning up before posting shit like that.

 

[GrantB13]

I'd take a guy really into anime than some pretend street thug or someone who thinks smoking weed is a personality any day. As cringe as some thing are, the world needs a reminder to let people be who they want to be as long as it doesn't hurt anybody.

 

[Psychojoe86]

Anime is awesome. It's just that Adesanya should have morphed into an isekai protagonist (overpowered) but instead he went with Dogidere

 

[MrCoffee]

I don't get it. He has good enough charisma and personality…

He doesn’t though.

He’s battling some sort of weird inner demons.

Lots of closeted anger in that one.

The west is too stupid to understand good art and intelligent writing.

lol @ people who talk about "The west" like as if it's a single hive mind.

You can shove your bigotry right up your fucking ass bro.

 

[Ormendahl]

And now justmark wrote "Enjoy your own genocide. Empathic fool" and then deleted it.

I'd love to hear your explanation on that one buddy. But of course you deleted it. But that's still quite the insight into your thinking.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

No, but Texhnolyze, Monster, Genocyber, Steins Gate, Death Note, Code geass, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Ghost in the shell, fullmetal alchemist brotherhood, Legend of the Galactic Heroes are all masterpieces beyond your level of comprehension.

I was with you until you said Genocyber. That's one of the biggest pieces of shit ever created and the fact you have this in your list among actual GOOD Anime just makes me question your life choices.

I don't get it. He has good enough charisma and personality that he can be a star but then he goes off and pretends he's some super deep anime character.
There was this whole thing recently, on his YT channel, about how he envisions himself as a dragon whenever he takes a bath and he got an artist to paint his inner dragon.
And the press conference. He admitted it years ago that he grew up well off but now he went on and said that because his dad had to wake up at 4 for his job and his mom had to study to be a nurse... he had a tough life?
But the most anime thing he said was him breaking down his tears and sobbing about how he will fight forever for his family.
Why?
Is this his way of hyping himself up for fights or is he too big of an anime fan?

He has the mental maturity of an 11th grader
That’s why he cries in front of other men when his feelings get hurt

 

[Vampire life]

you probably haven't seen any of them lol

He probably doesn’t waste thousands of hours watching cartoons
