Conor McGregor’s unfiltered view of the controversial Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight

Published

on

Conor McGregor, former two-division UFC champion, delivered a stark and unapologetic verdict when asked about the upcoming fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul.

Legendary former world heavyweight champion Tyson makes a sensational return to the ring on November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Texas, potentially in front of a staggering crowd of 80,000 to face YouTube sensation Paul. The pair were initially scheduled to fight in July, but Tyson had to withdraw due to a recurrence of ulcers during the flight.

Since the fight was rescheduled, opinions have spread rapidly, with many criticizing the decision to continue the fight given the significant age difference between Tyson and Paul. Further concerns were raised after Tyson admitted he had difficulty walking after training sessions.

Tyson, who has not fought professionally since losing to Kevin McBride in 2005, entered the ring four years ago for an exhibition match with Roy Jones Jr., but skeptics suggest that “ring rust” could be a deciding factor in his performance against Paweł. Meanwhile, “The Problem Child” Paul enters the fray following his victory over Mike Perry last July.

McGregor, known for his outspoken opinions, made his feelings about the fight clear during a live broadcast with Duelbits, an online sports betting company. The Irish fighter expressed his disinterest in unequivocal terms, stating that he had no “————” about the fight, and with characteristic bluntness dismissed the much-talked-about heavyweight clash.

“Mike Tyson, these are your shares. I don’t give ——–,” he said.

“They wear 14-ounce gloves and rounds last two minutes. Who gives ——–?” The fight will take place at AT&T Stadium, the home stadium of the Dallas Cowboys, which seats more than 80,000 fans. Despite the stunning venue, McGregor mocked the event, saying: “I hope Mike shakes that little f**k up, no one is making a—- about him. What’s it like even at ——– Dallas Stadium? .

McGregor also commented on Tyson’s recent health issues during the live broadcast, noting: “You had a slight health scare, I don’t know what happened to you on the plane, but you look great now, dude, you look great now for real, so give it a rest.” go, you love watching it.”

The Irish fighter hasn’t stepped into the Octagon since his 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier. He was scheduled to return at UFC 303 against Michael Chandler, but an injury forced him to withdraw.

McGregor is keen to resolve his rivalry with Chandler, although UFC president Dana White has yet to confirm his next fight. McGregor expressed his preference for his rematch: “I’d like it to be Chandler,” he said before Anthony Joshua’s defeat to Daniel Dubois in September. “I would like this to be resolved. I wish him all the best against Oliveira, but we’ll see how it goes.”

Dana White has consistently expressed his expectation that the 36-year-old will return next year. Asked if McGregor would compete again, White replied: “Yes. In 2024 I wasn’t 100 percent ready, but in 2025 I am. I just am. I know more than you. “I’m 100 percent sure McGregor will fight next year.”

Carl Froch, one of the greatest British boxers of his generation, has explained why he believes the Earth is flat and not round. The 47-year-old is also convinced that no one has actually ever been to the Moon, accusing NASA of faking the landings.

It is generally accepted that Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the Moon when Apollo 11 landed on the lunar surface in 1969. Froch, however, came to a very different conclusion after reviewing “all the footage” and looking at what he saw. claims to be “evidence.”

“The equipment they used to get there was as powerful as a Zedec Spectrum, which probably wasn’t that powerful,” he said. Action network.

“When I was a kid, it was the computer. Now we can’t get there and I think everything we’ve been told about the moon landing [is made up].

“When you look at all the evidence, all the footage and the fact that they lost all the telemetry that tells you they went to the moon, I would say we didn’t go to the moon.

“Man has not walked on the moon. It was a substantial fucking lie.”

Froch added: “Every image we have seen of planet Earth is a CGI image. So when I see the picture of the world as a whole, I will start to believe in heliocentrism – helio is the sun, the centric being at the center.

“I don’t believe a lot of the things that tell me about the heliocentric model, that the sun is in the middle and that we orbit around it, the Massive Bang theory, which is a theory, and the theory of evolution, which we come from apes.”

“The speed of featherlight around the Earth takes three seconds. Planet Earth has approximately 24,000 [miles] in circumference, so if you travel at the speed of featherlight, imagine how far you will go in an hour.

Froch initially raised eyebrows in 2019 when he claimed the Earth was flat, adding that he would only believe it was round if he were taken into space to see for himself.

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson officially suspended after controversial fight

Published

on

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have been suspended by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) following their highly anticipated fight. Following the Arlington fight, the pair received a mandatory minimum suspension period, which in this case is 24 days.

TDLR rules state that each fighter must rest for at least three days in each round fought. Because the YouTuber-turned-boxer and former undisputed heavyweight champion only fought for eight rounds, he will be suspended for 24 days, according to the website MMA enthusiast.

Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor also face bans. Their fight was very close and Taylor won by unanimous decision, as a result of which both stars were sidelined for over a month with a 45-day suspension.

Even though the Serrano-Taylor fight showed incredible determination and strength, the Paul-Tyson main event seemed to lack the same intensity. After the first attack, the 58-year-old Tyson appeared to tire quickly, allowing Paul to take advantage of his opponent’s waning stamina.

After eight rounds of uninspiring boxing, the 27-year-old was declared the winner by unanimous decision, with Paul paying tribute to Tyson in the closing moments of the final round. In a speech to fans after the fight, Paul apologized for not knocking out Tyson, even though he had previously promised to do so.

“I’m sorry I didn’t knock him out,” Paul said as his entourage nodded in agreement that he chose the honorable route by not beating the 58-year-old icon. He admitted to holding back his punches when he noticed Tyson weakening as the fight progressed.

“After I saw he was tired, I didn’t want to hurt him too much, but I wanted the fans to experience a good experience,” he added. Paul also mentioned that the Tyson fight felt “different” from his previous fights, emphasizing that a more composed attitude allowed him to anticipate Tyson’s moves and prepare more effectively.

“Fighting in the stadium is less personal and less deafening, so it’s less stressful on the nerves,” he noted. “Arenas are harder to fight in. Come out, I was serene, serene and collected.

“In the first round I timed his speed and managed to get his time quite quickly and saw how I could mark him and touch him. The rest was history, I just boxed him and had fun.”

With Paul’s status as a boxing headliner at one point confirmed by over 100 million viewers, the teenage fighter feels he has earned the right to fight some of the biggest names in the sport. As such, Paul is confident that with his victory over Tyson, he can become a champion within the next few years.

“I think it could happen in the next 24 months. I really, really believe in my skills, abilities and power. And the cruiserweight division is apparently open to admission on this date,” he stated.

Jake Paul and his team reportedly had no idea about Mike Tyson’s health concerns ahead of his boxing fight, even though the heavyweight icon revealed he feared for his life.

Last Friday, Tyson, 58, returned to the professional ring for the first time since 2005 to face social media star-turned-boxer Jake Paul. In the fight in Texas, “The Problem Child” won by unanimous decision, although he failed to land any knockout blows during the fight.

CompuBox post-fight statistics showed that Tyson landed just 18 punches over eight rounds, landing only four of 13 robust body punches and missing none of his five jabs.

After his defeat, Tyson, a former world heavyweight champion, confessed on X that he “almost died” before the fight.

“It’s one of those situations where you lost but you still won. I’m grateful for last night. I don’t regret stepping into the ring for the last time. I almost died in June. I had 8 blood transfusions. I lost half my blood and 25 pounds in my body to the hospital and had to fight to get well to fight, so my kids saw me go head to head and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy Stadium, that’s an experience that no man has ever experienced. the thank you.”

Paul’s business associate, Nakisa Bidarian, revealed on “The Ariel Helwani Show” that he was unaware of Tyson’s health issues prior to the fight, stating: “That sentiment he expressed in that post was never shared with us. We have a doctor’s opinion reports that we talked to doctors, we never thought about it… he was close to losing his life, or whatever it was that he said in the post.

“I appreciate that there was a lot of emotion leading up to this event and I appreciate how he reflected the next day on what he had been through, but I can say unequivocally that every report we received from his team, every conversation we had, was his doctor’s opinion. “there was nothing other than to say he would be 100 percent fit to compete starting in tardy August and early September.”

Tyson’s fight with Paul was initially scheduled for July, but was delayed due to Tyson’s health problems on the plane. Tyson spoke about the terrifying experience ahead of the postponed match, revealing: “I was in the bathroom vomiting blood. I asked the doctor: “Will I die?” He said, “We have options.” Options? I couldn’t believe it. I had about eight blood transfusions.

“The doctor said I had lost half of my blood. I almost died. I lost 25 pounds in 11 days. I couldn’t eat. Only fluids. Every time I went to the bathroom it smelled of tar. It didn’t even smell… — It was disgusting.

“It threw me off [when I continued training]. All my coordination, stamina, everything was hectic on the way back. I was already at the top. I could fight him that day. Now I have to start from scratch. I just don’t give up. Sometimes I’m an asshole. I am advertising***. If I haven’t outlived my enemies, I’ve turned them into friends.”
