10 Biggest UFC Celebrity Fans

1. Mike Tyson

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIWG0CkOLrk Once known as the baddest man on the planet, Mike Tyson has had his ups and downs over the years. Being the youngest heavyweight champ, going to prison, losing his fortune, biting off part of Evander Holyfield's ear... there was a point were it looked like Tyson's story would end in tragedy. And then a funny thing happened - somewhere along the line, Tyson found humility, reinvented himself, and suddenly started coming off as a likeable human being. Gone was the man who once threatened to eat an opponent's children (probably bad for the digestion anyway). In his place was a guy willing to poke fun at himself, doing cameos in The Hangover film series, and skits on FunnyorDie. He liked raising pigeons of all things. And he was combating his demons. For the first time since his championship days, here was a Mike Tyson you could root for. And this Mike Tyson has been very vocal about MMA being something he would have done, had it been an option when he was starting out. That's saying something, as Tyson in the ring remains one of the best of all time. Take a look at Glover Teixeira's reaction to his presence in the ring at UFC 160. Tyson's had a huge impact on modern combat sports, is a huge influence on fighters to this day - and he even got a say in the knockout of the night bonus that night, according to Dana White. As the sports world sees the focus on combat sports shift from boxing to MMA, Tyson is just the man to help bridge the gap, and introduce the old guard to the new.
