In an unexpected turn of events, Mike Tyson left UFC president Dana White both amused and bewildered.
During last week’s episode of the “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson” podcast, Tyson welcomed Dana White as his guest. The conversation covered a wide range of topics, eventually delving into their musical influences from the 1980s.
While reminiscing about his upbringing, White shared: “I grew up in the 80s when rap really started to take off, [with] Run-D.M.C, LL Cool J, the Beastie Boys, the Fat Boys [and] Salt-N-Pepa.”
But before White could continue listing more artists from that era, Mike Tyson spontaneously burst into song. He started singing the lyrics, “You give love a bad name.”
Caught off guard, White briefly fell silent before saying “That’s Bon Jovi.”
The unexpected musical moment quickly went viral on social media.
One fan commented: “Damn I laughed way to hard at this lol.”
Another amused fan added, “Bro, Mike sang his heart out.”
The comedic exchange between Mike Tyson and Dana White did not stop there. The conversation later turned to the famous Paul brothers – Logan and Jake.
Logan Paul is the co-founder of the successful beverage company Prime. He has also ventured into the world of UFC sponsorship alongside fellow internet sensation KSI.
White praised Logan’s business acumen, acknowledging his impressive financial gains. He stated: “[Logan] is f***ing brilliant, he’s raking in big dough. Logan Paul is a business man. This kid is really making some big moves and KSI too. Those kids are making real money and doing their thing.”
But Mike Tyson couldn’t resist interrupting with a surprising interjection – singing “KSI.” The room fell silent for a moment. Dana White was clearly perplexed and asked, “What’s that?”
Tyson repeated himself, elongating the last syllable of KSI’s name. White then replied with “yup.”
Scheduled to take place on October 14, both KSI and Logan Paul’s individual matches will be featured on the same card. KSI is set to face Tommy Fury, who previously defeated Jake Paul. On the other hand, Logan Paul will step into the ring against MMA fighter Dillon Danis.
