Dude, those fighters are as hard as nails. I've been a huge UFC watcher for years now, and with Tyson's current condition, he would get fucking rocked. He doesn't know how to defend against kicks, and on the ground, it would be a massacre.

No...I'm talking about K1, its kickboxing, no ground fights allowed. Still he would get owned, all former boxers who think they can do something in k1 have failed so far.

The tournaments are fucking hard, the fighters have to fight 3 matches (if they make it that far of course) on 1 night, 1 match lasts 3 rounds. This doesnt sound like much when your used to boxing, but its like 10x more intense because of the use of kicks.

We dutch ppl fucking rule this sport, if I'm not mistaken Peter Aerts has won the world championship 4 times in Japan, Ernesto Hoost also won it like 4-5 times, and now the last championship is won by Remy Bonjasky, all dutch ppl :D

Is it kind of like Muay Thai kickboxing?

Yes it's something like that, except you cant grab and hold someone too long and you cant use elbows.

Oh hell, Tyson won't last long at all then.

I seriously think you guys underestimate Mike Tyson.

I seriously think that you either (1) over-estimate Tyson, or (2) haven't watched enough K1 fighting. Those mother fuckers are no joke.

Yeah, I was confusing K1 with UFC. UFC is a LOT better and more badass, but either one, Tyson would not win a tournament. Not only doesn't he have the stamina to last through a series of fights in a matter of hours, he can't defend against these psycho's. They would probably love Tyson to do it, just so they can show the world how truely fucking badass and tough they are.

MJ, throwing Tyson in the ring with kickboxers is about like throwing a newborn baby in a cage with rabid pitbulls, he will have no idea what to do. It is nothing like regular boxing.

Dude, that guy can take unbelievable amounts of hit. Now, I haven't watched much of UFC, so I can't say, but are those guys all that strong?

Do you think he'll be able to defend against kicks to the back/legs/etc? It's not as much strength as strategy and endurance. Tyson will be outclassed here, he'll be made a fool of.

Some of them are extremely strong, and some are strong enough. By that, I mean, they are strong enough to do damage, but they are super smart, quick, and tactical that Tyson wouldn't know what the fuck was going on.

Yea, but if Tyson even gets one hit...

Plus, think about the reverse. Put these guys in the boxing ring with Tyson.

It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

That's a bunch of bullshit.

All they have to do is dodge his shots (they will have no problem) and take any openings he leaves.

BOXING?!?! Come on now. Watch the fights. These dudes are extremely quick, and evasive. Definitely not boxing. Think about it. These boxing fights make MILLIONS of dollars per every major fight. UFC probably makes a fraction of that. Tyson was the highest paid athlete for a long time. Now why, if UFC fighters were good enough, would they pick UFC instead of millions of dollars.

Why? Because they aren't in it for the money...they're in it for the sheer thrill of beating the unholy living piss out of some poor shmuck and leaving him bleeding, unconcious, and broken on the matt.

I know you of all people don't buy that. Even the most kind-hearted, virtuous people are brainwashed by money. If your claims are true, then why don't they do the same thing in the boxing ring.

No, straight up boxing, Tyson would own them.

Because the fight is about 10x more intense. They want the challenge.
