It’s Izzy Style! This is the Israel Martinez Story

Pumped to have coach Izzy Martinez on the show for episode 24. I got a lot of good feedback on the Chris Bono episode and to play off of that, I wanted to bring another high-level coach with value & entertainment on the show! Before he was coaching Jon Jones & Holly Holm to championships in the UFC Octagon, and coaching a top 10 high school program, Izzy was an elite-level youth & amateur wrestler and also had his fair shares and ups and downs. Today, we dive into the Izzy Story!

Rough Order of Topics:

• Izzy as a Wrestler
• Not Making it in Iowa City
• Being A “18-22-Year-old Trainwreck”
• What Early Failure Taught
• The Transition from Athlete to Coaching
• Chasing Opportunity
• Entering MMA
• Self Awareness
• Mental Health
• Social Media
