anybody have any information concerning when iron mike will be getting served up for a real life ass whipping via pay per view?

Tyson would need a lot more training if he were going to do anything but get messed up in the UFC. They don't allow biting either.

Well there are more rumors about Tyson fighting Sapp at the K-1 Grand Prix in December, but they are just that--rumors. I don't see him ever fighting in UFC because there isn't enough money and he would pretty much be emasculated in the ground game. In K-1, which is basically just kickboxing, Tyson could clean up and make a decent amount of money.

In other freakish crossover news, former Tyson opponent Francois Botha will be fighting Jerome Le Banner at the K-1 Elimination in October. This doesn't seem like a good boxer vs. kickboxer matchup because Botha is well past his prime and at his best he was kind of gatekeeper material. On the other hand, Le Banner is currently one of the best kickboxers in the world.

I dunno. Tyson lands one or two solid blows, and damn near anyone is out cold. The only question is whether he could land one solid blow before being put out of our misery.

I watched that K1 fight with Sapp. He is a BIG boy. The problem is he only throws punches, he doesn't fight on the ground, he's a boxer. The guy he fought almost had him knocked out. Between rounds they stopped the fight cuz they wanted the doctor to look at Sapp. I think this was a bogus delay tactic so he could get his wits together. K1 didn't want to see Sapp lose that fight. He is a huge celeb in Japan and K1 would take a big hit if he lost.

Saying that I would love to see Tyson in the ring with Sapp. I think Tyson would take him out in no time.

Sapp meets a straight left from Mirko. Sapp goes down. Sapp has a broken orbital bone.

The beast is a brawler. Not even a good boxer. But he did pretty well in K1. Tyson is an animal who can box heaps well. Id love to see him in K1. He would get his arse kicked in UFC though.
