The UFC fighter was talking about his daughter and how she’s a talented tennis player at such a young age. But she still needs to be more competitive and lacks that passion currently. Although, she’s very competitive with him and she shares a unique quirk about her.
He said, “With me, she won’t let me walk by her and just bump her, I can’t. I can’t walk by her and accidentally bump her, she has to get the last hit.”
Mike Tyson could relate to this on a whole other level. He said, “Oh my daughter’s the same, we gotta fight.” And then he reveals the warning he usually has to give her because of this habit of hers. He said, “I said you’ll have problems getting a man, if you wanna fight. No one marries a woman who wants to fight constantly.”
