Mike Tyson Shares a Similar Opinion to Joe Rogan on Conor McGregor’s UFC Comeback

A Conor McGregor fight is a massive deal for both the UFC and the fans. From famed names to casual followers, everyone shows up to watch ‘The Notorious One’ fight. His return, though, is uncertain. Many experts, including Joe Rogan and Mike Tyson, gave their two cents on how the former UFC dual champion should approach his return.

Mike Tyson recently sat down with Henry Cejudo and discussed McGregor’s highly anticipated return.

The former UFC dual champion in his own right, Cejudo, asked ‘Iron’, “Do you think him fighting for the title would be good for Conor, or do you think Conor should get his feet wet?”

Tyson replied, “You should do a couple of fights to get your feet wet, yes.”

Thereafter, ‘Triple C’ asked the heavyweight boxer if he had any advice to give to ‘The Notorious‘. Tyson responded, “Well Conor, I think you should build your confidence up and go do what you do, win excitingly.”

‘The Messenger’ offered the Irishman to fight longtime rival, Tony Ferguson. Although Tyson didn’t like the fight, he said, “Well, that’s a tough fight, man.”

‘Iron Mike‘ added, “Regardless if you lose, he makes exciting fights. You know it’s hard to beat that guy.”

The heavyweight boxer reiterated what McGregor should do; “Let him get three fights. And let him build his confidence back up. Every fight, the opponent goes to a higher level.”

Even Joe Rogan had shared similar thoughts on Conor McGregor’s return.

Is it possible for Conor McGregor to take tune-up fights?

Unlike MMA, taking a tune-up fight is a very common phenomenon in boxing. After a loss or even a hard-fought battle, boxers have gone this route. However, in the UFC, Dana White doesn’t like to book these kinds of bouts.

Since the margin of error is microscopic in MMA as opposed to boxing, the tune-up fight concept has never been around in MMA.

McGregor’s bout against Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone at UFC 246 could be argued as a warm-up fight. That said, McGregor made his return against Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier at UFC 229 and UFC 257, respectively. Both these fights proved too tough for McGregor to conquer coming off a layoff.

Thus, it’s not a bad idea for ‘The Notorious’ to go down that ‘Cowboy’ fight route and take a similar opponent in his UFC return.
