Israel Adesanya is upbeat with all the love has received so far with his documentary, ‘Stylebender’. Max Holloway has joined the admirers of the documentary in heaping praise on it. The documentary struck a chord with the featherweight fighter as he now waits for others to watch it. Not only could he resonate with the “different view of fighters” but he also discovered how “open” the middleweight champion was.

Further, the former UFC champion mentioned the documentary did a commendable job with its depiction of the humane side of fighters when they are perceived as “superheroes”. The vulnerability of ‘The Last Stylebender’ also swayed him. Therefore, ‘Blessed’ hopes the documentary “premiers big” and the Nigerian Kiwi fighter’s story reaches the masses. These comments touched the middleweight champion as he gave a shoutout to Holloway.
