In the modern fight universe today, the UFC has rolled itself out as one sheer fan-favorite organization. It is principally the biggest MMA fight promotion that boasts countless fight prospects from different nations. Not only the casual fans, but the UFC has pinned some boxing bigwigs as its hardcore fans too. One such name in that list is ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’, Mike Tyson.

In his new Hotboxin podcast, ‘Iron’ Mike detailed his love for the UFC in his own eccentric way.

“I think that’s beautiful. I watch that more than fighting because this is what I know, I can look and imagine. And I’m not sure this could be good, I can look at UFC and know I’m getting entertained. If I don’t know these guys (boxing), I’m going to the UFC, that’s just a real deal,” he said.

The UFC provides the biggest platform of all to the most talented MMA fighters. That said, the 50-6 boxer enjoys watching UFC fights as they have some of the most spine-chilling matchups across various divisions. Additionally, Tyson has made several appearances in countless UFC fights, and even shares a great bond with the promotion’s president, Dana White.
