Izzy is just trying to make noise to promote the fight IMO. I don't think he's really all that rustled up. Just figured if he goes in and starts calling DDP the n word and making this a race African pride thing that it will make noise and make the fight bigger
And to be fair, Izzy has cleaned house on the division. And this fight will need some sort of angle to really grab the casual fans attention. I think it's cringy and lame too but honestly It has people talking, and that was the whole point.
