Back in 2015, Iron Mike made an appearance at one of Rosey’s training sessions at the Glendale Fighting Club. Rousey was training for her bout with Bethe Correia at UFC 190 during this time. Moreover, Tyson even got to meet the UFC icon’s mother who asked the former heavyweight champ to give Rousy some boxing lessons. “You could get some boxing tips from him,” said Rousey’s mother.

Following the session, Tyson went on to praise Rousey for the hard work and the success she had garnered during her career. “She’s a lady, she’s polite, she’s kind, she’s sweet adorable. But her whole persona, she’s a killer and she has the killer aura,” said Tyson.
