Rogan highlighted a key moment from Tyson’s documentary and stated that in his prime, he was truly a special athlete. He said, “Last time, I felt that it was the Tyson documentary, dude this is the time, when he is talking about walking into the ring as he steps into the ring, like his nervousness and all is going through. And then his confidence builds. And he steps through the ropes.’ I am a god’ when he says that holys**t. My goosebumps are popping up.”

Kevin Hart was amused by Rogan’s reaction, as he went on to talk about Tyson a bit more. He compared the legendary boxer with a powerful animal and stated that he still makes him nervous. Tyson’s boxing days may have long gone, but he still retains his invincible aura, which can sometimes intimidate people.
