Mike Tyson recalled a hilarious moment on The Joe Rogan Experience. Talking about how much he loves Dana White and a hilarious yet dangerous offer that White offered Tyson, this is what the former heavyweight champ had to say about it.

“I love Dana White. Dana White’s my man. I don’t care. I can never say nothing bad about him. He said, ‘Mike. I don’t want you to fight. Man, I’m gonna get you a job, make you some money.”

He continued, “He gives me the goddamn Shark weaker job… I gotta put a shark to sleep now. He doesn’t want me to fight and get knocked out and beat up, but he wants me to go there and put a shark to sleep!”

When Joe Rogan asked Tyson what would happen if Dana White was the reason he was to be eaten by a “f*ck*ng” shark, Tyson replied, “No, no, forget that. You wanna hear this? My wife thought it was a good idea too.” Dana White reacted to that video by reposting it and captioning it, “Love you too @miketyson.”
