[…] Zach Arnold from FightOpinion.com is reporting that Tyson’s debut in Pride will be at the Real Deal event in Las Vegas on October 21. Apparently the headline on Yahoo Japan’s website states that Pride FC President “Nobuyuki Sakakibara is expected to release contract details next week.” […]
Tyson couldn’t get licensed to fight Lewis in Vegas back in 2000 due to his past conduct and questions about his mental health. It should be interesting to see if a now 40 something Tyson will be allowed to fight for a MMA organization.
Tyson vs Ogawa!
Ogawa’s hustling punch to the chin would put Tyson down cold.
Interesting point on Tyson and licensing. He also can’t get into Japan due to his criminal record.
I still won’t believe Tyson will take a legit fight until it happens, his heart just isn’t in fighting anymore.
