UFC color commentator and former two division UFC champion Daniel Cormier doesn’t see much for Jake Paul to gain from the upcoming Mike Tyson fight.
The Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight- heading to the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on 20th July is the current talk of the combat sports town. There are mixed opinions regarding the fight- while a handful of fans believe Paul can cause a shocker, the majority of fight fans have their odds on Tyson because despite being 57 years of age, “Iron Mike” is still a force to be recokned with.
Daniel Cormier, however, has an interesting take on the fight, especially from the perspective of “The Problem Child”. Speaking about the fight on his official YouTube channel, DC believes Paul will be in a “no-win” situation when he steps into the squared circle with Tyson in July.
“Mike Tyson’s going to be in there at almost 60! Bro, he’s 15 years older than me, almost,” said Cormier in the video. “Can you just beat on Mike Tyson? It might ruin (Paul) if he just beats on Mike Tyson. He’s in a no-win situation.”
“I don’t know that he thought this one through as much as he probably should have. If you just go out there and you just beat the sh*t out of Mike Tyson, everybody’s going to be really mad at you. If he knocks Mike out, if he just, starches Mike Tyson, it might be over, bro,” he added. [H/T MMA Junkie]
