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

[NFLHITMAN]

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.

impossible to tell...

did he have a background in fighting apart from only using his hands?

Tyson knows who is numero uno.

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...........

I actually tried to create Iron Mike. Gave him a lot of speed and power but no ground game. I am knocking fools out in first round but if it goes past that I usually loose.

Tyson would have gotten killed. BJJ and wrestling reigned supreme when he was around.

Somewhere between Iceman and Tank Abbott.If he pick up on ground game closer to iceman,if he didn't closer to tank.

Mike would have been a "joke" in the UFC, absolutely 0 ground game. And even worse take down defense

Broken hands.. Just one reason why a elite boxer won't fight in the UFC.. The padding.. Hand damage.. & possibly leg damage.. No ground training etc..

Exactly how do you know what mike tyson ground game looks like.Tell me how Muhammad Ali ground game was like or George foreman or Roy Jones Jr. What about Kurt Angle he was gold medal wrestler tell me how his stand up looks like better yet tell how me Bruce Lee would have done in the UFC.You don't know.

What you do know is Mike Tyson has legit knock out power from the standing.How many UFC heavyweight have won fights sheer punching power and questionable ground game Tim Syvlia,Andrei Arlovksi,Tank Abbott, and list can go on.

Few fighter is stupid enough join the Ufc and work on their grappling game.I don't know about tyson ground game or take down defense all you can do is guess.All i know Mike tyson had rare punching speed and power that only would have won him couple fights in ufc.I am not saying he would be the greatest fighter depending on well he adapt to the ground game he would be some where between Iceman and tank abbott.
