Israel Adesanya is appealing to Netflix as he looks for a distributor for his latest documentary.
The reigning UFC middleweight recently took to Twitter to express interest in the streaming giant to be the highest bidder for his documentary, which received positive reviews. He tweeted that he is hopeful that Netflix will be the one that acquires the rights as he believes it is a powerful documentary that will inspire young men everywhere:
"@netflix, please be the highest bidder for my documentary. Young men need to see this film."
@netflix , please be the highest bidder for my documentary. Young men need to see this film.
'Izzy' recently shared that he held a debut screening for the documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival. He tweeted a photo of the poster as well as a caption that describes what viewers can expect to see, writing:
"Tonight...the debut of "Stylebender" !...This film will showcase sides of me never before seen. I am a very private person with my personal life, so being vulnerable on here hits different. Can't wait for yous to see it xo"

It will be interesting to see whether Adesanya will get his wish and whether Netflix will be the highest bidder and acquire the rights to host the documentary on their streaming service.
