UFC Star Jorge Masvidal Expresses Concerns About Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul Fight

Iron Mike vs. Jake Paul

UFC star Jorge Masvidal is gearing up to watch the highly-anticipated comeback fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul with a sense of unease. The clash between the YouTube sensation-turned-boxer and the heavyweight legend has raised eyebrows due to the significant age gap.

Fears for Tyson

Masvidal, like many, idolized Mike Tyson while growing up and acknowledges that the former heavyweight champion is no longer the same force in the ring. He expressed his concerns, saying, "We don't like to see him fighting when he's not himself."

Paul's Strategy

Jake Paul, with a record of ten wins and one loss to Tommy Fury in 2023, is expected to employ a strategic approach against Tyson. Masvidal predicts that Paul will aim to tire out Tyson in the early rounds before launching his attack.

Entertainment Factor

Despite his reservations, Masvidal anticipates an entertaining fight and believes that Tyson's enduring power will make him a formidable opponent. The bout, set to be officially sanctioned and streamed on Netflix, will feature eight two-minute rounds and larger 14oz gloves.
