This is getting ridiculous. Since when does some finger injury stop you from fighting four months down the line??

It’s funny how things come full circle—it was a finger injury that caused issues last time, too.
Back then, instead of facing Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson had to deal with Brock Lesnar.

It really feels like Holyfield's fighting IQ is what sets him apart. He seems to be the only one who truly understands the most vital skill in this game: accurately gauging how dangerous a situation actually is and, if it makes sense to do so, just walking away from the fight altogether.😁

What exactly did he break? Didn't have time to actually read the whole thing right now!!??
Man, those kinds of injuries can be a total nightmare though.

She looks pretty damn happy about re-breaking her finger again in this photo 🙂 .

I honestly can't wrap my head around why...

Well, it is what it is...
"The article discusses Mike Tyson vs. Brock Lesnar or Mike Tyson vs. Tim Sylvia as fights that could take place shortly"
Honestly, I think the only thing that might actually happen in the meantime is a rematch against Waterman—I just don't see anyone else on the horizon right now.
I would personally love to see Mike Tyson go at it again with Brock Lesnar—that's a matchup that makes perfect sense to me, especially since I feel like Brock has a much smaller shot at winning this time around compared to their first encounter.

Why even bring up Waterman? What role does that guy actually play in this whole mess anyway? 😕
It’ll probably end up just like what happened with Brock Lesnar or Tim Sylvia.

I'll go with Brock Lesnar, but I haven't really decided who I'm rooting for yet 🙂🙂
I love Mike Tyson since he's an American icon, but Brock Lesnar represents BJJ, so...!!

Holyfield is an incredibly sharp guy. When his brother was gearing up to face Mike Tyson, he warned him straight up that he was going to take a loss... but the younger brother wouldn't listen because he was chasing that overnight fame. It’s just not happening—Holyfield will never get past Mike Tyson... and honestly, I’m worried Mike Tyson might never get past Brock Lesnar either. It’s a bit like a Bermuda Triangle situation, just slightly less mysterious. 😁 🙂 😉

Spot on!

It’s like a magic triangle where Mike Tyson always ends up getting the short end of the stick.

A matchup against Evander Holyfield might never actually happen. Sure, Mike Tyson could probably go toe-to-toe with Brock Lesnar, but what does that even matter when you're dealing with someone built like a rubber band? One split second of being careless and it's game over.

Man, what a mess...

Rocky Balboa said:We might never actually see a fight with Fedor Emelianenko. Sure, Mirko could beat Minotaur, but what does that even matter when he's basically made of rubber? One tiny slip-up and it's game over.

Everyone is obsessed with seeing Mirko take on Fedor just so he can grab that world title.
But let's be real here: if you can't take down Minotaur, you haven't earned the right to call yourself a champion.
And honestly, if Mirko does manage to beat Minotaur and secures the belt, then Fedor—not Mirko—will be the one begging for that massive showdown between the two legends.

BTW, it almost feels like the absolute best fighters in the world aren't coming out of Japan, Europe, or Brazil, but from the Slavic regions after all. 😁

Oh, and I should probably remind everyone that I was the very first person to coin the UFC (Tyson-Holyfield) triangle theory. I laid that groundwork way before Mirko even stepped into the cage with Minotaur. Now, suddenly, everyone acts like they came up with it themselves. 😳 🙂

Look, I honestly think Mirko might just end up being the eternal third-place finisher. I’m telling you, it could actually happen at this point.

Hey Jacob Newman, are you actually related to Gefufna?
Regarding Mirko, I honestly think the minotaur has the edge here.
Mirko has made huge strides with his ground game, whereas from what I’ve seen, the minotaur hasn't really leveled up his striking at all.

As for Fedor, he's a joke, and he's clearly intimidated by Mirko.
Or maybe he's just playing mind games, letting Mirko believe he's scared just so he can catch him off guard once they step into the ring.

Mirko’s ground game has come such a long way, whereas from what I can tell, Fedor hasn't really leveled up his striking much at all.

And honestly, Fedor is a joke—he’s terrified of Mirko.
Or maybe he’s just playing mind games, acting like he isn't scared so Mirko lets his guard down and gets blindsided in the ring.

Haha, Gefufna? You think she's my auntie?😁

But honestly, if he has to resort to those kinds of psychological tricks specifically against Mirko—rather than using them against everyone else—it pretty much proves he’s actually intimidated.

It’ll probably play out just like people predicted with either Mino or Kharitonov.

Basically, Mirko feels the guy deserves a rematch—and we all know Mirkov is as fair as they come when it comes to competition.
Plus, if this fight actually happens, it might finally—and I mean *finally*—be the moment the samba Rus gets his big payday.
Though, let's be real, that seems pretty unlikely at this stage.
If I had to put money on it, my money is on Mirko-Minotaur.

And why Kharitonov? 😕
(I have to admit, I don't know the first thing about him. 😢 )

Height:6'0"

Weight:220 lbs

Fighting Style:Sambo

Birthdate:08/18/1980

To put it simply, he's a young fighter with plenty of room to grow—definitely lacks experience at this stage.

Is he that one specialist from the East... what was his nickname again—the Bear?
