A UFC legend has taken the time to slam the boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, noting that it made him want to vomit. As we know, Jake Paul battled Mike Tyson just a few months ago in a blockbuster boxing match. The bout was won by Paul, but in the immediate aftermath, many questioned why exactly it was booked to happen in the first place. From fans to pundits and beyond, very few people were happy with the end product.

It hasn’t been easy for boxing legend Mike Tyson to return to private life after his fight with Jake Paul. ‘Iron Mike’ returned to the boxing ring for the first time in two decades last month in Dallas. While Mike Tyson faced Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, that bout was an unsanctioned exhibition contest. His fight with Jake Paul last month was a professional bout, his first since a stoppage loss to Kevin McBride in June 2005.

Of course, fans tuned in to see Paul vs. Tyson and the numbers were significant.

Once upon a time, he was easily the scariest fighter walking the face of the planet. Of course, that’s changed over the years, and for a long time, he was retired from the sport. That was, of course, until he was lured out of retirement for a showdown with Jake Paul.
