#421 โ€“ Dana White: UFC, Fighting, Khabib, Conor, Tyson, Ali, Rogan, Elon & Zuck

I think that Mike Tyson is actually one of those unique guys who has crossed over any of these other boxers from his era. They have no way of making money other than fighting. Mike Tyson has made a lot of money outside of fighting. I mean, Tyson still has that aura. You could be at a restaurant. And he walks in and you're like, holy fuck, Mike Tyson's here.

At that age and with all the shit that people talk and all the things that you got to put up with and the fame, a lot of people deal with fame. Some people handle it really well and some people don't. And the perfect example of that was Forrest Griffin and Stefan Bonner. They fought that unbelievable fight on The Ultimate Fighter. Everything blew up after that.
