John "The White Mike Tyson" is living in a caravan outside SBG, waiting delayed on UFC debut

[Thickfreakness]

Man his story is tough, he says he's now outside Kavanagh's house, and was outside SBG, after he moved from Walves to SBG Ireland. The reality of regional MMA is indeed harsh.

I hope he gets his UFC debut soon.

The Mcgregor clone is strong within him, if that thumbnail is anything to go by.

Can’t watch right now but what’s the deal? Has he already been signed and keeps getting his debut scrapped or is he just trying to get signed still?

First time it was an injury and now visa issues. He said that he keeps asking the embassy's to push it through and he's getting the "it's in admin" answer. He was supposed to fight Eryk Anders on the last card I believe.

He's actually one of the really unique guys from that gym IMO - plus he's not even Irish he's Welsh.

Jesus. He's 32, and getting Ko'd by 39 year old Frank Triggs and getting subbed by Jesse Taylor. Plus he is tiny for MW. I don't see him setting the world on fire when he gets here. Good luck to him though.

To be fair to him, those losses were a while ago now, but I don't know how far he can go, we'll see. He's really entertaining though.

Would have been a more accurate tread title

Thanks for the gif, otherwise that reference would have went way over my head.

If you follow boxing you have learned as a general rule to completely disregard anyone whose nickname is the "The ......... Tyson". If you go with a nickname like that most likely that's the only thing you have to make people believe in you

"The White Mike Tyson" is 100% the worst fucking nickname I have ever heard.

Another cringeworthy nickname in MMA

Marciano is the Italian Mike Tyson

A corned beef sandwich at Katz's in New York is the Mike Tyson of sandwiches.

 

[Congo66]

He's 21-6 so I don't care which colour he uses he's not any sort of Mike Tyson and he's a MW.
He hasn't been banged up for rape has he? Maybe that's why he's using it as a nickname.

more like tyson is the black marciano since Rock was around first.
