Mike Tyson is one of the greatest boxers to have ever walked the earth, and he has also emerged as a prominent voice in the mixed martial arts (MMA) community as well.

Tyson is good friends with UFC president Dana White and has been cageside for several big events over the years. Given how dominant he was inside the boxing ring, many fans have wondered how Tyson would have fared had he instead set out on an MMA career when he was younger.

Speaking to GQ Sports, Tyson discussed that very question, explaining that his feet would’ve been his downfall inside the Octagon. Tyson noted that foot stomps would’ve forced him to give up because he has “the worst feet in the world.” (H/T MMA Mania)

“I don’t know what I would do in the UFC because I watched the UFC a couple of times, and I watched these guys step on people’s feet,” Tyson said. “And I have the worst feet in the world. And if somebody steps on my feet, I would totally tap out. I would just give up, it would be a no-brainer.”

Do you think Tyson would’ve had a successful career inside the Octagon?

Conor McGregor did a lengthy sit-down interview with Ariel Helwani on SportsCenter to discuss his recent issues outside of the cage.

McGregor came under a lot of fire after footage from an April bar incident leaked, showing him punching a 50-year-old man who insulted his Proper 12 Irish Whiskey. The Irishman’s public perception took a major hit, and he was immediately met with criticism from his fellow mixed martial artists.

While speaking to Helwani, McGregor accepted full responsibility for his actions and admitted he has some things he needs to work on. TMZ Sports caught up with boxing legend Mike Tyson recently and asked for his take on the matter. Tyson said he believes McGregor has “absolutely” earned a second chance. He also called McGregor “a really kind man.”

“Absolutely,” Tyson said. “He’s a wonderful person, he’s a really kind man. He’s gonna get good karma for that. He earned it.”

As far as McGregor’s return to action is concerned, the former UFC champ is recovering from a hand injury. However, it sounds like recovery is going a lot better than initially expected. When asked if he believes he’ll be back before the end of the year, McGregor said it’s certainly possible, and he’s willing to fight anyone.

Former boxing heavyweight champion Mike Tyson believes Conor McGregor wouldn’t be able to beat Khabib Nurmagomedov if they fought 10 times.

McGregor was soundly defeated by Nurmagomedov via fourth-round submission when they met at UFC 229 last year. However, there have been calls for a rematch. While it would be undeserved, especially given how Tony Ferguson is yet to receive an undisputed title shot, McGregor being a lucrative draw means it is always possible.

Tyson had praise for the Irishman being a promotional genius, but ultimately believes he would never beat the current UFC lightweight champion:

“Listen, I think Conor McGregor, he’s a promotional genius,” Tyson said in a recent interview. “Khabib beat him, right? But they still want the fight! People still want to see him fight Khabib. He’s not going to beat Khabib. He’s gonna never beat Khabib. But people are still going to pay to see him fight Khabib.

“Khabib is going to get more money beating this guy that he knows he can beat, than he would ever get in a competitive fight against a guy that’s capable of beating him. So, why not fight him 10 times? People will pay to see him fight 10 times, to see him lose 10 times. Now that’s marketing, millions, billions. He’s a genius, you can’t take that away.”

Do you agree with Mike Tyson?
