Wow after reading some comments, I think there's a verse in the bible about those who have never sinned. Ok moving forward, I am not a fan of this on the basis that he's not a mma fighter and I don't quite see the appeal to put him in the game, makes me think next they'll put Floyd Mayweather Jr in next so he fight Ronda Rousey lol because that's the only way you'd ever see that fight.

And it's sad some people have to throw in 'many think he's innocent' about a rape he was clearly convicted of, with physical evidence and a witness corroborating the way the victim was after the incident? There's a reason he was convicted, it would be more shocking to me if he hasn't done it more than once with his history, not that he DIDN'T do it. It's sad there has to be victim blaming and excuse making over a videogame.
Who is victim blaming? I'm just stating facts. Many people think he was wrongly convicted. That doesnt mean I think he was wrongly convicted.

Also who's making an excuse? I honestly dont give a **** about whether Tyson is in the game or not. I dont ever plan to use him just like I never used Bruce Lee.

You seem awfully emotional about this. Its a video game by a company that had no problem putting him on the cover of two boxing games. I didnt care about him being on the cover of Fight Night. Why am I going to be up in arms about him being in the game now?

Ignore Open Source. I'm very pleased to see Tyson in the game. The trailer was very dope.

How we go from Tyson to Mike Vick dog fighting to Tyson rape case that happened 25 years ago. That case happened before most of you OSers were even born or you were just born. Either way both guys served their time, just like Bas Rutten served his jail time. People make mistakes.

You're the one that made this information come up though...This probably wouldn't have even been brought up if you didn't do it. It would have been more why did they pay to have a boxer in an MMA game.

I guess this explains "The Enforcer" in WWE 2K16 -- he was already licensed to EA for UFC 2.

Mike Tyson was one on the most entertaining Heavyweights in history so whatever his checkered past may be he deserves to be in any Boxing game. But this is UFC, so, hmm, it's all a bit naff having him in really.
