Any one of those MMA legends would make an awesome opponent for Mike Tyson in a 5 four round boxing match.

Big nog.
Id pay to watch any of them fight Tyson.
Word is it could be Wand, a pick I like better than the ones in the op. Supposedly BKB is offering Tyson 20 mil for the fight.

The only one on the list I’d even consider at this point is Igor, and I think he retired before Mike, so maybe not even him.
Come up with some other suggestions.

I’m talking about an opponent for Mike Tyson’s upcoming boxing match he has been talking about.
I figure it should either be an older MMA guy from Tyson’s era like Randy Couture or a younger, smaller guy from modern MMA, like Justin Gaethje or somebody.
I like the Tito fight.
Chuck looked awful at 49 or 48 whatever he was at the time. Mike is 53, he may look ok on the pads but who knows about in an actual fight. Tito obviously doesn't have the same level of skill but he's 8 years younger at 45, and will probably have a size advantage.

Fedor, Tito, or Belfort would best for a good name to promte him fighting and have somewhat of chance. All 3 could be built up big for the promotion too.
Wandy would be fun too but the others have more casual fan appeal IMO.
Chuck is the only one most people would care about. Randy a little. Anyone else and 90% of Tyson fans have no idea who he is fighting.
Tito or Randy have the name value even Rampage I don’t want to see what Mike would do to Chuck.

Belfort or Fedor esp after sports staions show thier fight highlights all over TV!
