He said,” Fun fact after the fight, the first person to call me that was screaming was Mike, like ‘she did it’. He was calling me, he face-timed me right as I walked out of the arena.”

When Pena asked Tyson whether he watched her fight, ‘Iron’ replied, “Yeah, I was so happy. I thought that she was going to kill you. I was like ‘oh god, there’s a f**king chance you are gonna f**king get hurt. Don’t do that s*t’.”

Tyson also stated that he was scared for Pena’s safety and even felt she shouldn’t take this fight.
