Mike Tyson Stood Startled by Wiz Khalifa’s MMA Training After He Showcases “Kicking the Head” Training Video to Boxing Legend

Mike Tyson is a phenomenon in the world of combat sports. The 56-year-old boasts unmatched fame and is lauded by numerous people, even outside the combat sports community. Despite having his last professional bout way back in 2005, Tyson is still pretty relevant in today’s combat sports picture. Currently, ‘the baddest man on the planet’ is invested in his own cannabis brand, ‘Tyson 2.0’.

‘Iron Mike’ also hosts his own podcast named, ‘Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson’, where he has welcomed some of the most noted modern and veteran combat world personalities including Khabib Nurmagomedov, Francis Ngannou and his former foe-turned-friend, Evander Holyfield. In one such recent episode, Tyson played host to the famed ‘See You Again’ rapper, Wiz Khalifa. However, Tyson had little idea that the rapper also trains in various martial arts forms.

A lot of MMA and Wiz Khalifa fans might know that the rapper is also a major stakeholder in the noted MMA promotion, Professional Fighters League. Khalifa was also accompanied by Tyson’s co-host and DJ, ‘Whoo Kid’ who asked a few questions to him as well.

Starting off with a few questions about the PFL, ‘Whoo Kid’ brought up the topic of Khalifa’s combat training. He probably had the idea that the ‘Reefer Party rapper’ trains in martial arts. ‘Whoo Kid’ also questioned Tyson whether he had ever seen Khalifa training or not. ‘Iron Mike’ replied, “I’ve just seen him train once”.

Further, ‘the DJ’, Kid, also enquired about Khalifa’s training routine. He asked, “You train everyday, like couple of times a week?”. The ‘No Sleep’ rapper replied, “Yeah, I’m five days a week. But I do mixed martial arts, so I do everything.”

He continued, “So some days we’ll do Muay Thai, some days we’ll do Taekwondo, some days we do Jiu-Jitsu”. A lot of fans could realize that it was Khalifa’s love for MMA, which propelled him to buy shares in the PFL.

Wiz Khalifa himself admitted his love for MMA that got him investing in PFL

The PFL co-owner, Wiz Khalifa, himself confirmed the assumptions of the fans. Just after a few moments of the display of his training video, Khalifa went on to reveal that the PFL was probably the only business he was involved in that was not related to his lifestyle.

So, now it could be perceived that it was his love for MMA which propelled his PFL venture. The ‘Mind Of A Stoner’ rapper also stated how MMA had also an enormous value in the market. He also intended that it was just as bankable as his other interests, notably music.

Clearly, Khalifa knew pretty well what he liked. Also, maintaining a 5-day training schedule in a week won’t be a cakewalk for an insanely famous personality like Wiz Khalifa. Still, it’s probably his attachment to MMA that propels him to keep up his training schedule.

Do you feel like his love for MMA might overtake his musical passion and he might opt to set foot inside the cage as well?
