Mike Tyson actually signed a contract with Pride Fighting Championships with plans for a "world tour" featuring the former boxing champ in boxing rules bouts against Fedor Emelianenko and Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic. Head Kick Legend has the gory details and explained why nothing ever happened. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)

Is this a contract Zuffa has to own up to?

"Sign the contract. Sign the contract!"

They made a video game about Yakuzas. It’s called Yakuza. And it’s about Yakuza

This might have something to do with Tyson showing up on TUF as just a “favor” to Dana White.

If Fedor and Tyson would have fought...

It would have changed the face of combat sports history.

Maybe even made the sport more popular that much quicker.

Epic.

Fedor’s management should have made this happen. Not that Tyson’s management were much better.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

It's official. Les Miles DOES NOT have a deal with the devil. He beat him Nov. 6th, 24-21.

yeah yeah.

Isn’t any funnier than GSP and SIlva not fighting yet when they are being fed guys they already beat or have no problems beating.

It wouldn’t have been great for the sport to see an over-the-hill Tyson murder Fedor and Cro Cop

Uhhh…if Tyson was finished by guys like McBride and Williams at the end of his career i highly doubt that Fedor or Cro Cop wouldn’t be able to as well. Especially considering they were very much in their physical primes.

OMG...

…the epicness that we missed without even knowing it… so sad.

To save me some time on 25% of all threads, here's the universal answer to the Fedor-debate: Fedor is the most accomplished MMA fighter ever. That is a fact. If he still is the best fighter at this point in time is up for debate.

by KGNLuc on Dec 14, 2010 5:05 PM EST reply actions  

Tyson would have smashed Fedor.

'Ello G'vnor!

Fedor would've been KO'd in a boxing match w/ Tyson

due to absence of sexy grappling shorts
