[@abazov7x]

Absolutely badass. I don't care if he gets to the title or not, him and his dad are my champions.

[@bergs.8522]

I feel like Tyson has the skill set to become champ

[@abazov7x]

@@bergs.8522 I hope so. A great, well-rounded fighter and a really likable guy 👍

[@FirePiranha2013]

He definitely has the skills set to be a top 5 contender this is coming from a Aussie we will have to see tho

[@abujordan8405]

It's so awesome to see Tyson achieving such great things in life. His dad was a cool guy that could do some crazy things in karate. Tyson and I competed against eachother a few times as kids and we were 2 of the best competitors of our generation... i watched Kohn do some crazy demonstrations too... wishing them nothing but the best in life. Go Tyson!

[@shannonbayley3684]

This shit gives you hardcore chills. Inspirational stuff.

[@aisforannihilation1662]

So many people don't stop to think the absolute torture these guys go through with injuries, the endless hard work & the never ending heart you must have to succeed or pick back up after a defeat. Nothing but respect for Tyson & any1 doing what these guys do. This is not for the weak.

[@blacckarat9156]

Born and bred to be a fighter, props to the creators of this content

[@yourgo-toguy4133]

Tyson has crazy potential. Can't wait to see how far he goes in the sport

[@robsmmaclips2302]

Beautiful story - really hoping Tyson can pull this off

[@GAMEDEPTHLEARN]

Dad KO his Son,Great Bonding,Pure love

[@peterbarrett5496]

Dad makes him fight him that awesome

[@butcherbaker4258]

Only the good men who are real father's will understand how truly fulfilling watching your own son compete at win at something he truly love will understand their relationship and the feeling of not coming from the best of situations and making something of not just yourself but your children as well. Being a father is a privilege not a title. God bless all of the men raising and teaching the young men that will be the future leaders and inspirational influencers of the next generation because it clearly obvious we need them now more then ever.🇺🇲

Wow!!!!! That was sick, new found respect for Tyson and his Dad!

[@ashv117]

The dude has been learning since he was a child. He has crazy skills

[@harveyduenas8745]

I actually remember Tyson from his walkout (and walkout song) in Singapore, smiling and singing along. From what I can glean, he's got a rock solid head on his shoulders, too. "I want to be remembered by those I love... as a good man." Good luck, rooting for you.

[@caineowen933]

Beautiful tys! Keep being you brother you got a good heart ❤️

[@the_francis.7]

Cool dad n son ....those smiles speaks tons❤️

[@bmoredrew4724]

Big fan of Tyson and his story is inspiring him and his father's

[@boblob3509]

Beautiful

[@Ben_9476]

So happy the UFC created this video. Back in November 2016, while travelling/living in Australia, I went to UFC Fight Night in Melbourne, which was originally going to be headlined by Luke Rockhold & Ronaldo ‘Jacaré’ Souza, which then changed when Rockhold sprained his ACL and Souza was removed. It was then headlined by Robert Whittaker and Derek Brunson, that night was all about Whittaker and his win over Brunson. However, all I remember was Tyson skipping out to his fight with the song ‘Sexual’ by NEIKED, the whole arena screaming the song back as he made his way into the cage and I will never forget that and his win over Rountree! Craziest thing was Volkanovski AND Hooker were also both on that card and I barely remember them either…now look at Volk!

[@JoseRodriguez-je9vr]

Amazing.

[@aisforannihilation1662]

Pops looks like Mark Hunt. No wonder he's a boss. 🤜🤛

[@user-pw5nh2bh6o]

It's great to have such a supportive father🥺

[@minteherms6784]

He is always nice and smiling, he doesn't need to act tuff or like a badass in press conference and things like that. You just feel that he is a real badass! Just like his father apparently 👊👍

[@shawnduddridge]

"We came to Australia and thought, we'll give it a go.." Already an Aussie before ya got here mate! 🤙

[@nxo91]

It is like Mike Tyson inspired all parents who called their kids Tyson. Amazing legacy

[@yandi_ya]

Bro, they're making a 15 minute video for Pedro. While there is no news about the main battle of Ufc 284

[@marlonransomlifestylefitne3565]

[@dragostoma9033]

This dude is an amazing fighter I remember first time seeing him against OSP and even tho he lost God dammit that Question mark kick really caught my attention, especially from a LWH fighter

[@Husmanmusic]

Damn, what an inspiring video

[@lakersgang444]

I love the story brother my dad was hard as well. Life of a Samoan boy

[@misteranon763]
