Tyson was built like a football player but he moved like a flyweight. He was a boxer in a wrestler's body. If he lands one shot with the 4oz gloves then it's all over. If you taught him some ground game and Muay Thai you would've created the deadliest organic weapon in history.

If you look at the UFC there has never actually been great boxers....because if they were great at boxing they can make a lot more just boxing. Like I said a 19 year old Tyson never went backwards...he was incredibly aggressive....if he hit you....even if you were an expert/experienced UFC fighter...you are definitely going to feel it....and it is probably going to be the hardest you've ever been hit. Good luck getting the guy with breathtaking anger issues on the ground or even trying to block him...imagine if Tyson could actually hold someone and hit them and that was completely legal in the sport...he would seriously injure someone.

tyson was a great fighter but he lost everytime he faced elite competion like lewis and holyfeild. If tyson didnt take u out in the first half of the fight then u had a pretty good chance at beating him. I think tyson/Ali would look a lot like the Ali/foreman fight. Ali would play defense till tyson punched himself out and take him out in the late rounds. If Ali was able to lay on the ropes and take punches from prob the hardest puncher in the history of boxing then he could easily do the same thing to tyson

Like the guy said, "4 oz gloves"... Tyson punching you isn't the same as a talented mma fighter hitting you with a nice punch. You get hit by a punch from a very well trained MMA fighter, you're going to think, Damn, that hurts.. But no hit you receive from them will equal the damage of a Mike Tyson hook, uppercut, jab, whatever... Doesn't matter if he hits you in the face, stomach, ribs, sternum, chest, neck, arms, shoulder, sides, It's going to be almost unbareable.. None of those weak ass punches trying to figure out what kind of gameplan you may have for him. He's gonna hit and he's going to hit unlike anyone else. Not saying he's be the greatest ever but would definitely be alot better and more successful than most boxers would translating to the octagon.

How naive some people are, if a Boxer was going to prep seriously for the MMA then it only takes a few months of leg conditioning.

I think the biggest obstacle Tyson would have faced in MMA would be size. He would be a heavyweight, but giving up 40 pounds and 3-5 inches. It is one thing to give up that much size when you are exchanging punches. it is another thing to give up that much when you are able to grapple and to hold. Body-wise, he would be kind of a tweener. On the plus side: he had great balance and a thick core. It would be no easy feat to control a leg for a takedown.

Mike is a beast during his prime. Remember, not all UFC fighters are good at striking and boxing, most of them, if not all, are just good at the ground game and does not have a good boxing skill, which is necessary in MMA also. Just imagine how heavy handed Mike Tyson is, you put him in the UFC with the heavyweights with that speed and power, if he lands 1-2 punches in your head or face with a 4oz gloves, you are out cold ❄. Look at Mike's body during his prime, he can be trained to enter the UFC. He just lacks kick and ground game, it's not hard to train a guy like him who already has power in his hands and a good speed and body movement. Train him 7 months with Kick Boxing or Grappling, plus the boxing skill he has, Mike's gonna be a beast in the UFC.

Only Tyson truly knows this answer,you have to take into account his boxing striking ,will not be the same as his mma striking ,obviously b/c he has to focus on more than one art..can he succeed?Absolutly but could he overcome the elite grapplers that were there...Pardoe/Shamrock/Severn/Coleman/Ruas/Gracie at the time?Tyson was made for purely punching and stands in his own class as a boxer,but he would have the highest work ethic,i truly believe that,he was a fast learner and the best athlete for his time,very few in combat sports history can be on his level in athletism ,talent and work rate.the question is what sport would he have been a better fighter in ,limited boxing or a more freelance type of fighting?In MMa he would surly not have had the advantage in every area like in boxing,would have been interesting,but one cannot definitively say he would've dominated UFC.Its not the best puncher who wins its who can blend what they can do better ,that will exceed in MMA.Cus and Rooneys machine of destruction that was Tyson would have to reinvent himself and be mentally stronger than he was as a young man in boxing ,b/c he would've no longer been as feared inside a cage and have to dig deep if on his back if he were to end up there.Tyson was used to domininating and it wont come as easy to him in there,unless he gets a clear punch in,in the cage it is any mans game to win.

***** not everyone is good at boxing or its rules....you cant take the best wrestler and turn him into a striker,it doesn't work like that,being a boxer the same thing you cant put him in a wrestling match and expect the same,having done both,i can tell you,wrestling takes more energy out of you physically,boxers take punches which is brutal at times but the wrestlers/grapplers don't have the luxury of cornerman or rounds,and really grind it out to win under 5 minutes.Tyson is a class on his own,talent wise,but its different athletism in MMA...many fighters are on par with Tysons abilites just not in boxing,or strictly punching....JDS and Cain do it extremely well..but they would have to use and mix up more of what they can do kick boxing/jui jitsu/wrestling.Grappling comes more naturally than boxing and is easier to apply,in short ,not that its easier,it depends on the fighter!

The question is how would Tyson have done in the early UFC when it was style vs style? He's no Art Jimmerson, he would have destroyed Gracie.

Ken Shamrock or Gracie would have taken him down easily and submitted him.

Steven Derby possible, but we will never know. Maybe the sheer presence of Tyson standing in front of them in those small gloves would have froze them up and they forgot about their skills.

Speed, technique, natural ferocity? Willing to train too on top of those...he would be brutal.

Hard to say. Mike needs ground game and grappling stuff with his boxing.

Tyson already has the boxing skills. All he would of need is to learn wrestling takedowns.
