“He’s Feeling My Arms, Holysh*t!” – Mike Tyson’s First Interaction With Francis Ngannou Had Joe Rogan Cracking
Mike Tyson was a brutal force during his active boxing career. His hands were lethal, and his power was devastating. There was a fear in his opponents. Similar to Tyson, in the UFC there is ‘The Predator’; The UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou, whom Joe Rogan once termed one of the scariest men on the planet.
Mike Tyson recently had UFC commentator Joe Rogan on his podcast. The JRE podcast dived into some interesting conversations with ‘Iron Mike’. In one of which, Tyson briefed his stunning interaction with ‘The Predator‘.
Tyson revealed, “He [Ngannou] said, ‘I never heard about you, but I heard about you. And I said, I have to meet this man.’”
Hearing Ngannou’s comment, Tyson wondered, “I said what you never saw me. He said no, but I heard about you, so I had to meet Mike Tyson. So, he’s looking at me, and he’s feeling my arm.”
Tyson suggested Ngannou, who at the time had never seen him, asked him, “Are you really Mike Tyson?”
“He’s feeling my arms, holysh*t,” the former heavyweight champion stressed about Ngannou not believing he is meeting Mike Tyson.
