Mike Tyson is one of the greatest boxers of all time. In his retirement days, he hosts combat sports athletes on his podcast. Tyson and his guests review the various headlines and fights in combat sports. In an episode on his podcast, Tyson reacted to a nasty liver shot in the Professional Fighting League (PFL). UFC champion Jon Jones also reacted to the clip.
PFL posted a video clip on their Instagram page. Mike Tyson reacted to the fight where Sadibou Sy TKOs his opponent after landing a nasty liver kick. The fight happened in 2019 and recently went viral in the MMA community. As soon as the clip went viral, it received a reaction from Tyson.
Tyson said,“Oh! Mother! Ohhh! Oh Man! Man, he’s tough though, He’s still trying to fight even though he’s paralyzed… It’s like you’re being cut. It’s like somebody’s pulling your lungs out… You can’t breathe… You feel constipated, you can’t urinate, you can’t do nothing. Your body fluids stop.” The boxing legend animatedly reacted as the brutal liver kick landed. ‘Iron Mike’ knows the pain of a liver blow from his fighting experience. Tyson almost stood up from his chair, showcasing how painful it could be.
The PFL video featured a fight replay of Sadibou Sy vs. David Michaud at PFL 1 in 2019. Sy is a Swedish fighter and the winner of the PFL welterweight tournament. The PFL released a throwback clip showcasing the devastating strikes of the 36-year-old Swedish fighter. Liver shots can instantly end fights. In combat sports, only a handful of fighters have recovered from a liver shot in a fight.
