from what i understand, he is supposedly fighting exhibition boxing matches in future. he isnt fighting for PRIDE. Maybe he will referee a bout. The first two bouts for that show are set anyways


Bout 1: Shogun Rua vs Kevin Randelman
Bout 2: Fedor Emanilenko vs Mark Coleman 2



The US is now gonna see what the best heavyweight on the planet can do

Pride hasn't said anything official about Tyson even being actually signed.

While I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case, I wouldn't expect to see Tyson in a Pride ring until atleast 2007 as he would need to at least develop a sprawl.

Oh alright, for some reason though, I'm interested to see how he'd do in mma.

I guess it's morbid curiosity, much like how it was for me when Bean fought Sudo.

I imagin it'd be simular to Bean vs. Sudo, unless Tyson learns to sprawl. I'm sure he still packs a hell of a punch. Especially with 4 ounce gloves....

So you think it's going to be with 4 ozers?

I figured it'd be with actually boxing gloves, alla K-1.

I'd love to see him even in his current sad state, hit somebody even with a glancing blow with the mma gloves.

No, I meant if he where to fight in MMA, i'm sure his boxing exhibitions will be with 16 or 18oz gloves...

Tyson is with pride to help modify MMA for the stand-up fighters with no experience on the ground.. Do you still doubt we'll see him fight?? I dont' after all he's a broke SOB and pride has deep pockets.. Perfect relationship if i ever saw one.
