superfighter Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 is it true that Mike Tyson is gonna compete in a MMA bout?, if he does what do you reckon the outcome would be?
martialartist1 Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 mike tyson would beat any of those UFC fighters of his same weight class with ease, as long as he doesnt get grappled with, but im sure if was grappled with, he'd be mad. mike tyson is one of the worlds greatest fighters, if not one of most vicious as well. if mike was put MMA, he would know what to do. mike tyson can use boxing perfectly, when boxing is common sense of martial arts, when common sense of boxing is the second greatest striking combat martial art. the first being muay thai. even though some disagree that boxing is not a martial art. its like no martial arts is martial arts and martial arts is no martial arts. simple as that buddy.
superfighter Posted July 10, 2003 Author Posted July 10, 2003 yeh i was thinking exactly the same thing, if Tyson was to snap inside the UFC cage, then God help the guy in there who's with him. Tyson aint a guy that u wanna get angry, yeh he might throw technique out the window, but so what, who wants a crazy mike Tyson swinging punches left an right? If Tyson was to get grappled on the ground if feel he would know what to do, especially if he was angry, he'd fight like a caged animal to escape. If he does fight in a MMA bout then the guy who fights him has a loada guts, there will be no big padded glove to absorb Tysons punch.
kle1n Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 i dont think the guy has more than a loud mouth. Be everything. Be nothing.
Tombstone Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 Tyson's a bad dude but I'd put my money on the other guy.
TJS Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 Tyson would loose to alot of heavyweight..he would get grounded and pounded or submitted.. however if you trained him hard for about 6 months in takedown defenses and basic submission defenses he might win. he would definetly have the best standup but he could not win the way he is and he knows it..he is a mma fan and has commented on it before.
telsun Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 I read in the news paper a while ago that Iron Mike was going to take on all volunteers who think that they're handy. I guess they may have been referring to a MMA bout. Yeah I think that he would be a man to be reckoned with. Not necassarily an ultimate fighter when it comes to grappling etc. I imagine him more in uderground, illegal prize fighting. There I think he would be in his element.......... I keep asking God what I'm for and he tells me........."gee I'm not sure!"
shotokanwarrior Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 I would like to see tyson in a rear choke and him fall asleep Where Art ends, nature begins.
StoneSkin Posted July 11, 2003 Posted July 11, 2003 Iron Mike is nuts I would never want to face him in a street fight. Royce Vs. Tyson would be bloody scary.
superfighter Posted July 11, 2003 Author Posted July 11, 2003 There is always a high chance that Tyson will lose because most of the UFC guys are way more skilled than Tyson when it comes to fighting skills. The biggest problem is when Tyson gets angry, if Tyson snapped in front of me i'd rather leg it out of there than fight. I'd love to see him snap on a UFC guy, they'd crap themselves
