look at some mma fighters for example matt hughes who is 41-4 hughes is like 33
mike tyson is 50-6 with 44 ko's tysons 40

idk i think if he trains hard and gets conditioned and drops some weight i think he could do something in the sport..hes got aggression, strenght, speed, hes a natural fighter...idk about how hed be on the ground..idk id pay to watch

and i think he could and will take sapp. sapp would bum rush him like he does everyone and i think tyson will get up in there and hit the button and sapp would be out cooold...when you rush like that your so vunurable its more of an intimidation that buys you that second for them to mess up...but we all saw when sapp went after tyson and swung and cliped him tyson didnt even flinch or blink he laughed so idk i think hed hit sapp once and ko it

Interesting video, Tyson clearly is not intimidated by Sapp one bit.

or as quick as he did

**diezell** · 09-03-2006, 05:16 PM

if he gets a ground game he could be real good.. should be interesting

**sooners04** · 09-03-2006, 05:48 PM

He's old but I think he is crazy and a crazy man with his ability is dangerous especially if he get some ground training.

Mike signed a deal in Vegas called "Watch Mike Tyson train". People come and Mike hits the pads, spars and hits the speed bag for an hour or so. He's getting paid by I believe the Aladdin Hotel. He is NOT training for any type of fight. This is getting closer to the end that Joe Louis faced in his later years, when a casino paid him to be a greeter and he ended up dying broke. Mike is over, still owes a TON of money to the I.R.S. as well as several others, and desperately needs money. This is just a stunt, where people vacationing in Vegas watch the shell of what was Mike Tyson work out for an hour or so. At least he'll stay in shape and not put on 80 lbs like many ex fighters such as Buster Douglas who ballooned to 320 lbs and went into a diabetic coma. But this is still sad to me because I was a big fan of Tyson and think many things in his life he didn't deserve. Some he did, but a LOT he didn't

Here's a couple of pics of Tyson and this publicity stunt of him training for money.

Tyson will not fight mark my words, Pride is using him as a attraction just as K-1 has in the past. And the word is that he would participate in some exhibition bouts (boxing) on a Pride event.

He won't fight under Pride rules and has stated recently he has no interest in fighting at all.
