Prime Mike Tyson in MMA

[TheBlackRooster]

From boxing fans point of view...

In an interveiw at the latest UFC event, Iron Mike said he would of considered MMA if it was as big as it is now as when he was active in boxing. How would ya'll think he'd do? Personally I still say he'd kick ass like in boxing mostly cuz of his speed, and his size would be difficult to take down since he can punch close range and still knock someone the **** out.



Thoughts?

the stronger fighter always wins in ufc. prime mike would destroy everyone

Until he fought someone like brock lesnar or mark coleman who are good on the ground and are as big as tyson, he would ko them all.

He'd end up killing a fighter or two.

Well he never really grappled or wrestled so it'd be difficult to tell. I personally dont think he would have been anywhere near as dominant or successful in mma as he was in boxing.

1) because in mma. Someone good at everything 8 out of 10 times beats someone that's a master at any 1 thing.

2) his celebrity would have never taken off because more than 3/4 of the **** out of the ring he was known for as a boxer would not be able to fly in the UFC. They would fire him and ship him to japan.

I just dont see how any MMA fighter could take him down, Mike would stay on his feet and if they get touched by his uppercut its lights out

all void, it's all about who's stronger

He'd probably win some and lose some. He'd be like a much, much better version of Tank Abbott. The fights he would have won he'd have looked devastating. Obviously once he gets taken down that's where it falls apart.
