"Apparently someone forgot to tell Sakakibara that "Iron" Mike Tyson is completely bat**** mother****ing insane. [Tyson is] notoriously unpredictable...Pride is taking a huge gamble by bringing in Tyson in any capacity, but it could pay off big time in America for the Japanese organization.

"I'm sure we'll get some great soundbites, and Pride will get a ton of press in America, but in the end Tyson will flake and the whole thing will be forgotten about after a few months. However, having Mike Tyson as a part of Pride could gain them enough mainstream attention to become a legitimate threat to UFC in America."

LOL........thats funny
Would be cool to see though

This is just like the time he was supposed to enter K1.

This time he better not bite off more than he can chew.

Im sure if he was to take one of Crocop's kicks he'd immediately realize that maybe joining Pride wasn't the best idea.

That kick would have to cross the Atlantic buddy, since Mirko works for the UFC now. Anyways Mike's done and been done.

Jon? I know you wouldn't mind dancin' with Kid Dynamite right?

Crazy or insane or whatever he is...even at this advanced stage, the guy still has very credible punching power. It's not like he can't strike through someone's defense, and it's not like he doesn't have great footwork, balance, and strength. Anyone entering an MMA arena against this guy better not underestimate him. I know I wouldn't.

I'm no pro fighter so I'm going to have to say NO.

Lol, you're not alone. I wouldn't step into the ring with a 40 year old Mike Tyson.

He may not be able to beat a guy like Fedor, or Cro Cop, or anyone with good ground skills (Barnett, Noguiera, etc.). But you do not want to receive one of his blows, especially to the dome. It's not like he can't hit those guys and if he does it's gonna do damage. Plus remember the dude can take a punch as well. I think it will be very entertaining.
