We know that Dana White and Iron Mike Tyson share a very close friendship. Mike and Dana have taken several flights and attended various MMA events together. So, there is no question about Dana's support on his four rounds bout against Roy Jones Jr. Many UFC stars including Conor McGregor has shown their interest in the 4 round exhibition fight.
People are pumped about the event but there are certain criticisms that follow the event as well. Now 54-year-old Tyson (50-6-2, 44 KOs) who hasn't fought for 15 years fighting 51-year-old Jones (66-9, 47 KOs) for two years, seen a little dangerous.
In a UFC Vegas post-fight conference, after Dana was asked about how he feels about his old friend coming out of retirement and fighting Roy Jones Jr. he said:
I'm nervous for Mike, he says he has the spark, he wants to fight, he wants it, Jones wants it, they 're grown men – I'm 100% supportive.
Added that Dama also said that he'd probably go watch the fight and outed that he was planning to fly out to Mike. In his own words, UFC chief said:
"Maybe next week, I 'm going out to watch him practice"
Mike also has chosen MMA's best sticking coach Rafael Cordeiro for his upcoming bout and the fight is suspected to go down on Sept. 12 at the Dignity Health Sports Arena in Los Angeles.
Both the fighters are in their 50s and have left the days of glory behind them, the enthusiasm and anticipation of the fans might make the game, which is known as an exhibition bout sanctioned by the California State Athletic Commission, and any celebrities hyping it could make it the fight of the year.
