Prime Mike Tyson in MMA

if he learned how to defend take downs and submissions aswell as strengthening his ground game he would dominate everybody.

Tyson wouldn't be able to stop the wrestler's natural ability to shoot in. Those things are very quick and low. It's a biological responce. A natural reaction to wrestlers.



Machida-do Karate was not only a newly developed style of Shotokan Karate, it has opened itself to be an adaptive style for MMA.



Liddell also was big in his local amateur wrestling circles. So he knows how to stuff takedowns.

Dude i'm lovin that sig, Lyoto is a beast, only Shogun or Anderson can trouble this guy

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?

tyson would never fight in mma... the money is garbage compared to boxing

That's alot more work than you make it seem. If he is even in a position where he has to defend takedowns he's not utilizing his biggest asset of power punching. Therefore not dominating. Defending against submissions would require years of training because the combination of the amount of submissions and awkward angles they can be sunk in from are almost limitless.

Iron mike would be dominant standing but nowhere near as dominant in mma as in boxing.
