Dana White sits down with Mike Tyson to talk UFC 118
You think you're a big fight fan? You might get smoked in a conversation with Mike Tyson. The former heavyweight boxing champ loves his sport and is quickly becoming a huge fan of mixed martial arts. For him, the Randy Couture-James Toney fight is right up his alley. Tyson visited the Las Vegas office of UFC president Dana White to talk some boxing. When the conversation turned to James Toney, Tyson got pretty animated (2:13 mark)."I want to see this fight. Toney's a crazy guy," said Tyson. "He's a really dark, kinda crazy guy."If Toney wins at UFC 118, Tyson was interested to see if the UFC would book Brock Lesnar against the boxing great. Tyson follows the sport pretty closely. Last month, he told ESPNRadio1100 in Las Vegas that his favorite fighter is Fedor Emelianenko. He also has a lot of admiration for Lesnar, after the first round beating he took against Shane Carwin at UFC 116. This is quite a coup for White and his videographer Eliot. Tyson is pretty picky when it comes to allowing photographs and videos.
