Iron Mike Tyson coming to D.C.

I know, I know. Everyone is sick of "the baddest man on the planet". He's washed up, he's a joke, etc. etc.

But come on people. No, this man is never going to win a belt again, even in this joke of a heavyweight division. But can you really pass up the chance to see this man beat down some poor schmuck in person? Man I love that tattoo...

This reminds me, does anyone know how the Michael Westbrook / Jarrod Bunch fight turned out?

Why are people expecting Tyson to win? He doesn't block well, he doesn't move his head and he doesn't throw those thunderous punches anymore...

I certainly don't think the odds are in his favor.

Because the guy he is fighting is a guy along the lines of Cliffod Eitenne. Someone brought in specifically because Tyson should destroy him.

Except that the guy is 6-5 and Tyson has notoriously had trouble with even average heavyweights that were tall and had extra reach *cough cough buster douglas cough cough*

- Michael Westbrook vs. Jarrod Bunch
In the nights main event and possibly the most anticipated KOTC fight ever, Michael Westbrook took out the bigger Jarrod Bunch by rear naked choke in late round one. Bunch came out aggressive early landed a low kick followed by several punches but was unable to land any direct shots. Westbrook patiently waited for his opportunity to take things to the ground where he would be able to capitalize on his strength (BJJ). Bunch showed grit and resiliency by holding off Westbrook for nearly two minutes but was unable to survive the final five seconds of the opening round. Westbrook looked like a fighter who has had years of experience in the cage and one can only wonder how he would do against an established MMA star...hopefully he will stick around long enough for fans to find out!.

Westbrook does have years of experience, remember the hotly contested Westbrook vs. Davis fight?
