    take it for what it's worth...maybe it's pure bull**** but according to a recent sherdog article.

    "LAS VEGAS -- Word on the hot Vegas streets is that Mike Tyson is training again, but for what? The former heavyweight boxing champion and "Baddest Man on the Planet" has long been a source of speculation among MMA fans.

    A source, who asked to remain anonymous, informed Sherdog.com that Tyson has been quietly "training his ass off" with a prominent strength and conditioning coach in the area. The source also stated that Tyson "is not going to do boxing anymore," but when asked if "Iron Mike" was going to try MMA, the source shrugged, "I don't know, I can't say."

    Surely he is just looking to lose a few lbs.
    He didnt even have the energy level to have a full interview with two Swedish reporters, how in the world is he going to be able to do 3x5minute rounds of MMA?

    This isn't a new rumor by any means. I recall hearing the same thing a few years ago.

    I wouldnt count on it. He was supposed to fight Bob Sapp some years back in K-1 but it never happened. He only wanted to fight M. Queensbury rules anyway.

    Don't think he's planning for that, maybe wants to stay fit.

    exactly I bet shaw has offered him 4 or 5 million to fight slice. If its on free tv this will be the most watched fight in history wait and see.
