How do you think " Iron " Mike Tyson would have done in UFC?

I grew up watching him and was 15 when he became the youngest Heavy Weight fighter in the World! Imagine Tyson with those smaller gloves hitting somebody LOL.

Well we know he can use his teeth also

Tyson's power and speed would have been deadly in the UFC. We don't know how he would have done on the ground against submissions but I do know given the smaller gloves that would be the only chance anyone had is to get Tyson on the ground.

If he trained the right way for MMA when he was young I bet he could do some damage. He doesn't really have much heart though, and his conditioning isn't that great. I don't see Tyson doing too hot off his back either... Would of been interesting though.

Might've done decent in the old UFC. Not now though. He'd get taken down and stay down. Kimbo type situation I think 'cpet Tyson would have some speed.

Why is Fedor so short in this pic?

Fedor is supposed to be 6ft1, and Tyson was supposed to be 5ft9 or 5ft10. Wierd...........
