Dana White commented on controversy about assault by Mike Tyson after being harassed by a man on a plane. The UFC president recalled a humorous video published a few years ago in which he received a 'slap' from the boxing legend for sitting in his seat on the plane.
“Hey 'dummies', for future reference, this is how you stay alive when meeting with Mike Tyson on a plane,” Dana wrote when reposting the video.
Last Thursday (21), Tyson would have been nice to the man, who sat behind the boxing legend to harass him. The conversation, which was cordial, turned into a provocation. Mike then tried to get the individual to calm down, but after some time he threw punches and had to be restrained by security guards before leaving the plane.
At 55 years old, Mike, who had been retired from professional boxing since 2005, returned to the ring in an exhibition fight against veteran Roy Jones Jr. On that occasion, the fight ended in a draw, but it 'kindled' a desire in 'Iron', which speculates on other duels in the sport. In his career in the 'noble art', there are 50 victories – 44 of which were knockouts -, six defeats and two unsuccessful fights.
