VIDEO: Mike Tyson has some biblical advice for Ronda Rousey

Old Testament

Patrick McCarry

Mike Tyson knows what it is like to be Ronda Rousey right now.

The former heavyweight boxing champion was just as stunned as the rest of the world in 1991 when his reign was ended by James Buster Douglas.

Rousey suffered a similar fate when Holly Holm delivered a punishing head kick at UFC 193 that cost Rousey her undefeated streak as well as the bantamweight belt.

So it’s no surprise that Tyson was sympathetic when Rousey came up during an interview with Conan O’Brien on Wednesday, as well as making an interesting point about Holly Holm’s career.
