But ‘The Baddest man on the Planet’ then asked the recently crowned UFC heavyweight champ for the difference between a manager and a lawyer.
“No, it’s two different things, Mike. Like we are in a two-era very different and two different sports…There’s a lot of things going on that we can’t manage ourselves. So we definitely need somebody around to help us handle that, to go out, hustle for us, that’s what the manager be,” replied Ngannou.

Despite that, Tyson disagreed with the Cameroonian fighter’s notion. He felt a lawyer can take care of more than the legal stuff and also look after countless responsibilities on behalf of the fighter.
But Ngannou stayed firm on his juncture and said, “I don’t agree with you, with that.”
