View Full Version : Tyson challenged by UFC
Subwayboy 05-15-2005, 04:50 AM I have just seen a video of a UFC (supposidly) fighter that goes by the last name Sapp (last name), inviting Mike into the ring and then trying to get a piece of him.
Does any one have any info on this, who is this Sapp guy? is he a UFC fighter or a boxer etc?
Grimgash 05-15-2005, 04:54 AM I think its the Sapp who fought in Toughman to beat the hell out of the fridge....if it is hes huge..... might be wrong forget his first name but someone out there knows it... i read it before ; p anyway i don't know what he fights now
xrhythmxnxbluesx 05-15-2005, 04:55 AM its bob sapp... it aint ufc... its K-1... sapp is a sideshow ... but he competes in mostly kickboxing...
Tony Blitz 05-15-2005, 05:04 AM This was apparently just a publicity stunt when Bob Sapp fought Kimo Leopoldo (forgot date) but I think 2002
edit: August 15, 2003.
Ricomania77 05-15-2005, 05:04 AM yeah i seen him and like you said, he's huge! I think he's a k1 figher, but i'm really not sure. His full name is bob sapp and i don't see tyson getting in the ring with this guy. Here's some pics of the guy

Tony Blitz 05-15-2005, 05:13 AM I've seen him fight, this guy is just a puncher
Dkknight 05-15-2005, 05:25 AM This guy is weak. I seen him fight. He's good for about 3 minutes. After that the steam is knocked right out. I saw a guy hit him with nothing but kicks to the shins. Eventually the big guy could barely stand up and thats when that other guy just went to town and knocked this big SoB out.

Why not he's the worst fighter i've ever seen, he gets tired i mean TIRED after one round, he got KTFO by a light punching guy tyson would kill him, seriously guys that guy would not stand a chance he can't kick so it would be a boxing match basically believe me, tyson would kill this guy.
Ricomania77 05-15-2005, 05:39 AM I'd never seen the guy fight. I had only seen highlights of him...
welshwales 05-15-2005, 05:43 AM Sapp is an ex us footballer isnt he turned K1 fighter. He is a major draw in Japan apparantly
Tony Blitz 05-15-2005, 05:44 AM In my opinion this guy is what I call "big for nothing" his shots aren't even hard. He just wails his hands like an amateur in a high school fight and gets lucky sometimes. He may look intimidating but he really doesn't live up to how he looks. He's 350 with a ****load of muscle and he hits as hard as a lightweight, can't even put his body weight into his KO punches.

Thatīs correct. He was a professional footballplayer a few years back, before getting involved with K1. This guy is HUGE and looks kinda impressive... Until you see him fight that is. This guy has got nothing to be afraid of. Any decent heavyweight boxer would take this guy out. He has some power, but not as much as one would think by looking at him. No skill and no stamina. Letting Sapp fight Tyson would be madness. Tyson wouldnīt need to train for this one. Ko by 30 seconds.
TheBrownBomber22 05-15-2005, 07:38 AM Tyson would knock him out in 2.
TyrantT316 05-15-2005, 10:19 AM look at it this way
this sums up Sapp:
Sapp makes Tyson look like a 16 round fighter.

Don't be fooled by his size. I've seen this guy get his ass obliterated by someone almost half his size.
The Pretender 05-15-2005, 11:35 AM Tyson would get schooled in a mixed martial arts fight. He can't even beat a journeyman in his own sport anymore! Add in elbows, knees, and feet and he is done.
You people always overestimating Tyson. It's not 1989 anymore. This 40 year old shot fighter can't even get past 2 rounds without quitting. Damn near any K-1 champ fighter kicks Tyson ass!

I've seen him lots and I wouldn't say he can't hit hard. That couldn't be more wrong. Sapp has knocked out world class kickboxers before. He has no skill, all he has is his hitting power. The man is 6'5" and usually weighs around 350lbs, his next fight is in June (kickboxing) and he is reported to wiegh about 397lbs right now for that one. He also claims to have less than 10% body fat.
He is not a fighter at all, he hates being hit in the face, even cringes when he is tapped there.
