Would every UFC fighter be scared of Mike Tyson?

by MasterBlaster on May 4, 2010

I don’t watch UFC anymore, but do you think there is anyone in it who would not be scared of stepping into the UFC ring with Mike Tyson? He’s so aggressive and dangerous that he would frighten anyone, right?

I dont think any UFC fighter would be scared of Mike Tyson! Mike is slow and does not seem like hed do well in the octagon, in fact he would get whipped by almost any person in his weight range! UFC fighters are usually faster and have better technique than boxers, especially has-been slow boxers

no way. i would think none would be afraid and would bet it would be the other way around. tactics and experience and size all vary hugely between ufc and boxing.

He would probably frighten them.. but any UFC fighter would destroy Tyson as long as they took him to the ground.. Tyson is a boxer, not a fighter.

no not at all. i garuntee you a lightweight could take tyson down no problem. once he is on his a$$ he’s done for.

Iron Mike wouldn’t know what to do against a top UFC fighter that could take him to the ground. A fighter would easily shoot in, and take him to the ground, then either tap him out or ground and pound him into a TKO.

he is very intimidating with face tattoo’s, prison stints he is a very tough and aggressive man.

although i dont think much of UFC fighters.

No UFC fighter is afraid of anyone. They aren’t afraid to get there ass beat, but just about any of them could take Mike Tyson. Mixed martial arts is completely different then boxing. Mike Tyson is a good boxer, but wouldn’t stand a chance in the octagon.

I don’t think many UFC fighters would be scared to fight Tyson even in his prime. Now if the UFC fighters were fighting him in a boxing ring they may get a little nervous. Boxing and MMA are two completely different sports. The best boxer in the world now may do horrible in the UFC and vice versa.

That depends, will it be a real fight on cement with no gloves or a sissy fight in a padded ring with gloves?

Out in the street Tyson would have a better advantage because a single punch in the head (with no glove) from that guy will take most anyone down.

In a soft padded ring with UFC gloves, the UFC fighters would have the advantage. They would simply take him to the ground and grapple.
