Mike Tyson Explains Why He Would Never Fight in the UFC, Even in His Prime

"5 of the biggest UFC fighters combined couldn’t match my pay. I want to be the biggest fighter, earn the biggest purse. I want all that stuff," Tyson said. Even at 58, he reportedly earned $20 million for his exhibition with Jake Paul, surpassing even UFC star Jon Jones’ $6 million purse. Only Conor McGregor, with over $20 million in recent fights, rivals boxing-level paydays.
