Tyson gained notoriety in the 1980s and 90s when he massacred most of his opponents in a matter of a few minutes. This characteristic is also seen with Rousey, who won her last three UFC fights combined in just 96 seconds.

“Ronda is a lady. She is polite, kind, sweet and adorable. But she is a killer. She has that killer aura, which means anything is capable of happening. Wow! This excites everyone before the fight even starts. I remember myself when I see her fight”, praised Tyson, in an interview with the North American news agency “Associated Press”.

Rousey will return to the UFC Octagon on August 1st, in Rio de Janeiro, when she will face Bethe Correia in the main fight of UFC 190.
