While many would favor Daniel Cormier to ragdoll Mike Tyson in a street fight, a former UFC champion isn’t convinced.
The gifted mixed martial artist has explained the method ‘Iron Mike’ could use to overcome the odds.

Aljamain Sterling believes Mike Tyson could beat Daniel Cormier in a street fight
At the peak of his powers, Mike Tyson was a truly terrifying competitor, utilizing his infamous peek-a-boo style to bamboozle his opponents, before rendering them unconscious with thunderous combinations.
However, while his hands were undeniably lethal, his wrestling skills certainly don’t match up.
With that in mind, many would suspect, that in a street fight, Daniel Cormier would pick him up and launch him into the ground.
However, Aljamain Sterling is confident that there’s very much a route to victory for the boxer.
In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, the ex-UFC bantamweight King, said: “I’m torn, because if ‘DC’ can get to his legs first, then he kills him, but again, if they square-up, and Tyson starts moving, that’s scary.
“I don’t think you understand how quick, how devastating Tyson was in his prime. I just don’t think there’s any guys as vicious as Tyson was in his prime. It’s a very compelling argument.
“Even if DC shoots, he’s running into a punch — bare knuckle. And yeah, he might grab him after that, but it might hit him on the chin, where it’s like, ‘My legs don’t work like they used to before’.
“I can see it going either way. I can Tyson killing him, and I can see DC killing him.”

In his sublime career, Tyson never ducked anyone, with the phenom getting in the ring with any fighter who dared call his name.
However, like the rest of the combat sports community, the warrior has found himself startled by what one of the biggest stars of the sport is doing right now.
