Mike Tyson is training...
http://msn.foxsports.com/boxing/stor...2?FSO1&ATT=HMA

"But here he is training next to a bank of slot machines trying to get in some kind of shape so he can make a few bucks off of his name with the PRIDE mixed martial arts organization, a Japan-based promotion making its U.S. debut at the Thomas and Mack Center on Oct. 21."

Article talking about Tyson being nothing of what he once was but has a Pride reference in it.

just for the curious.

Being nothing like he once was isnt exactly an insult when he happened to be in his PRIME one of the best boxers to ever step in the ring. Sadly jail and money problems ruined his mind and I think his first trainer passing away created this basketcase we see now.

I feel sorry for Tyson having to be reduced to being a sideshow in Vegas.

Why do you feel for him...he is a convicted rapist, and fought all his life, not to mention dumb enough to spend 300 million dollars. Kind of like survival of the fittest, but mentally. The guy honestly made his bed and now he has to sleep in it. Don't feel bad at all.

It would be great if Pride could convince him to fight an MMA bout. That would really get them some serious publicity. Pride could match him up against someone that wouldn't kick his ass too bad.....quick take down followed by a submission. He'd get paid a good amount of money to get tapped in under 2 minutes and Pride would get a bunch of publicity. I wouldn't mind getting subbed by someone like Yoshida or Werdum for a few hundred grand.
