Heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson is once again involved in a controversial incident, we have you covered on that and so much more in today's social media roundup!
Mike Tyson attacks fellow flight passenger after being harassed
No matter how hard Mike Tyson tries to be out of controversial incidents and news, he always seems to find himself back amongst them.
The former heavyweight boxing world champion Tyson has now been filmed unleashing some extremely hard punches on a fellow passenger on a flight he was on several days ago.
See below to watch the video of the incident.
Don’t poke the bear. Especially when the bear is Mike Tyson.

As you can see in the video, the passenger who is sat behind Tyson seems to be annoying and harassing him constantly.
The man is clearly aware of who Tyson is and what he is like so he shouldn't be surprised that Tyson lost his temper very quickly and started punching him.
Of course there are different ways for Tyson to handle himself outside of a violent attack on the man but with the way the passenger was acting, he has not been given a lot of sympathy on social media.
Do you think Tyson's reaction was justified or do you believe that he was completely out of order?

Nate Diaz unhappy with the UFC over newly released NFT
UFC star Nate Diaz is not a happy man after the UFC released a special 4/20 themed NFT.
In a post published on Twitter, Diaz expressed his anger at the UFC for glorifying the Diaz brothers for their marijuana usage but was annoyed that in the past they had fined Nate for using a vape pen and Nick was originally banned from the sport for five years following testing positive for marijuana.
It’s shit like this why I need to get the fuck out of the sorry ass UFC. Didn’t you guys suspend nick for 5 years and fine me hella money for a vape pen?! Now you’re reaping the benefits. I hope nobody buys this bullshit ------------------------ pic.twitter.com/I3yPB9uJT9

Daniel Cormier urges Jake Paul to fight Anderson Silva
Over the last few weeks, Jake Paul has been calling out the former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping for his next boxing match.
This has gotten Paul a lot of scrutiny as Bisping is happily retired and has one eye and two metal knees.
The large majority of the MMA community, including Daniel Cormier believe that Paul is massively in the wrong for calling out Bisping and instead he should be calling out Anderson Silva.
