      comparing tyson to brock lesnar is dumb. Lesnar is a national wrestling champion and has freakish strength and speed for his size. I forgot who said this but one of his trainers once summed it up this way "he's 285lbs but he moves like he's 200lbs and he has the strength of someone who's 400 lbs".

      if tyson was ever taken down in UFC he wouldn't know what to do. no mma fighter would ever risk getting punched by tyson so he would be taken down right away and submitted quite easily too. fedor, lesnar, mir, noguiera would eat him alive.

        I think that was Erik Paulsen, Lesnar's Shootboxing trainer.

          Tyson + takedown and submission defense + 4oz gloves = death to any fighter who faces him.

            Lesnar is much bigger than Tyson, and far stronger. Lesnar was featured in weight lifting ****zines back when he was in the WWE because of being so strong. Brock also has a wrestling background going back to his schooldays.

            It's highly unlikely that Tyson could've done what Brock has done.
            other than knock Lesnar out with one punch, Lesnar is a WWE fighter. Tyson in his prime is from the street + formidable skill and power.

            Lesnar likes to ****, he wouldn't just take mike down and win he would try to trade.
            Then he'd get knocked out cold.

              That's assuming that Lesnar is a dumb mass of muscle.

              Which he isn't.

                    Sooo....he's an idiot because he wanted to live comfortably making money off his skills? Where else are they going to hire a two time NCAA All American?

                    I'm all ears cause I'd like to help future wrestling champs make a decent wage without the help of Vince MacMahon.

                      Who cares about UFC? Tyson is a boxing legend in his own right, he didn't need to do anything else.
