Gone are the days when the mere presence of the youngest heavyweight champion of the world would send chills down everyone’s spine! However, that isn’t the case in a recently resurfaced clip of Mike Tyson bullying Dana White! In his prime, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ had built a persona around himself that psychologically dismantled his opponents long before he entered the ring.

Even though ‘Iron’ Mike was able to turn a new leaf in his life, opting for a more calm and welcoming nature, some things never change. The same was on full display in the clip shared by Happy Punch on X (formerly Twitter) today. So, when the boxing world got its hands on the resurfaced footage of Iron Mike and the UFC President, they started clowning White.

Dana White should not have taken Tyson’s seat!

Sharing the clip on X, Happy Punch wrote in the caption, “Note to self: Never sit in Mike Tyson’s seat.” As for the clip, it was an old clip of Mike asserting his dominance, asking White to vacate the seat on a flight. “Hey, come on, move it,” said Mike. Though White was never known to be a timid person, in this case, he had to become one as he left the seat.

“I like this seat,” said White timidly, getting up off the seat. In response, the veteran boxer replied, “I like it better,” while taking White’s seat. The camera even pans to White afterward, showing White’s dumbfound expression asking, ‘Why’d he do this?’ While the clip was likely a skit, it left fans amused and poking fun at the Connecticut native.

Fans crown Mike Tyson as the alpha male

Some fans sympathized with White, while others lauded the former champion in the comment section of the tweet. One user suggested White used to look so innocent back when the clip first came out while sympathizing with the UFC lead.

Another user claimed when Mike Tyson wants something, it’s his. 

Meanwhile, the next user could not recognize Dana White in the clip.

The following user claims that when Mike wants something done, it gets done.

Someone else inferred what else White could have done, implying saying no was out of the question.
