    As real as it gets!

    What a beautiful piece of art this is, breaking cycles, be yourself stop trying to fit in or worry about others opinions, stop letting the world tell u what being a man is and that u can't do this or like this and be a man. The ones that say that are just insecure within themselves! I'm so glad Izzy is unapologetically himself. It's so refreshing, the loudest one in the room is the most frightened most of the time, so cry, see a therapist, talk about your feelings, open up to the ones you care about, listen. Don't react, respond! These things are what make a man! This is bigger than a ufc fighter documentary. It's a true masterpiece.

    Awesome But Missed the Biggest defining Moment

    The film really shows many aspects of Israel including his emotional self who really is a complex individual.

    There really is some great scenes that you don't see often with sporting greats. It's incredible that there was insight to see the filming to start in 2019 when Israel was not a champion.

    For me it missed one of Israel's and the world of sports most incredible moments when Israel knocked out Pereira in his first win in 4 fights. This moment shows so much of a coach and a fighter. The shear grit to come back for a forth match after 3 losses but the strategy that won that fight "playing possum" is one of high level sports most strategic well thought out moments.

    What a documentary must see

    Loved this movie it was raw truthfully and really shows the life and struggles of adesanya . It made me look at my life and struggles and helped me immensely . Must watch best movie of the year. I am going to watch this again I loved it that much . So much respect . He didn't hold back on anything . The movie was not what I expected and the truthful ness of it is something we should all do . It has only improved my respect for a guy who truly is the master of his art. I am not sure what else to say but I have to add another eighty letters to this . Totally awesome and much respect to adesanya and his coach.

    Wow, must watch !

    This documentary on Israel Adesanya's rise to being global star is a very raw and real account of the man he truly is.

    It shows the importance of surrounding yourself with people who will tell you how it really is. Israel is shown a "mirror" many times during this documentary. A lot of stars would shy away from that Mirror but Israel confronts it all face on. It shows him at some of his highest and lowest points and how he manages to get through. The relationship between coach and fighter is a beautiful thing to watch. I highly recommend this documentary very well done, nothing is off the table.
