56-Year-Old Mike Tyson Sees Through “Beautiful Guy” Conor McGregor: “He’s Crazy, He’s Bold, It’s a Gimmick. In Real Life…”

Conor McGregor carries a bad boy image. His fans love him but he gets criticism from many sections for his arrogance and trash-talking. Nothing has been able to change Conor McGregor, he is often engaged with fighters on Twitter battles. He has continued being the Irish Brat he was since the beginning of his career. Even humbling losses against the likes of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier, could not change his stance. In a recent YouTube video, boxing legend Mike Tyson has revealed a different side of Conor McGregor.

In the video, Mike Tyson was talking to a WWE Hall of Famer, The Undertaker. The conversation went around WWE and boxing before the duo stumbled on to UFC. While the UFC world takes McGregor to be an arrogant and mean fighter, Mike Tyson said was appreciative of the person Conor McGregor is outside the cage.

Mike Tyson calls Conor McGregor a gimmick

Mike Tyson was of the opinion that like all successful wrestlers and combat sport personalities Conor McGregor carries a gimmick. He felt that he was a very different personality outside the cage and his fighting personality is part of his performance. He said, “there’s all the gimmick it’s real but it’s a gimmick you’ll get the only guys that got all the money guys with the game um yeah the gimmick he’s crazy he’s both a gimmick real life he’s a beautiful guy you know yeah but you have to have a gimmick”

It’s interesting that WWE star Undertaker was once on a storyline where he was believed to have risen from death and that added to the fearsome personality he carried in the promotion throughout his very successful career.

Conor McGregor has a soft side

Despite the Ruthless street brawler that Conor McGregor projects himself as, he has a soft side too. ‘Mystic Mac’ was recently seen appreciating a fan kid’s Rolex after clicking a selfie. Earlier he donated some money to the old gym. He has shared pictures of his time with his family and has been a totally different person to his fans. McGregor has looked like the perfect gentleman around his long-time girlfriend Dee Devlin and the three kids they have had together. Conor McGregor remains the superstar he was, despite being away from the game for quite a long period of time.

As he prepares to come back for TUF 31, fans will expect to see him for the fighter that he has been. Do you agree with Mike Tyson about Conor McGregor? Let us know in the comments below.
