Just train.” The legendary UFC 1 winner then also pointed out: “There is neither the girlfriend nor the wife. They don't think about that! There is no celebration. That's all they do. Get up, exercise, sleep, eat, exercise.”

In a recent conversation with Sebastian Maniscalco on JRE episode #2148, Rogan explained: “…just the fact that he's willing to actually take the risk that Mike Tyson won't be able to do what he used to do because that's what he's putting at risk, there's no chance that Jake Paul can beat Mike Tyson, who defeated Marvis Frazier, would survive him.”

The fight against Marvis Frazier took place in 1986 and was a one-sided loss that ended with Frazier being demolished in the first round. And with Tyson training at full intensity again in recent social media updates, it remains to be seen whether Iron Mike's legendary discipline and focus will allow him to turn back the clock on The Sorge Child!
