Mike Tyson Included In ‘UFC 2’ With Two Playable Versions Of Ex-Champ (Video)

Ever wonder how Mike Tyson would fare in the octagon, instead of the ring? Gamers soon will have the chance to find out.

EA Sports on Wednesday announced it’s including Tyson in the deluxe edition of the upcoming “UFC 2” video game. Virtual fighters will be able to play as two versions of Tyson — the young “Iron Mike” Tyson of his glory days in boxing or latter-day “Legacy Mike.”

EA Sports’ latest “UFC 2” trailer shows what Tyson can do in the world of MMA.

In a press release, Tyson called his inclusion in “UFC 2” an honor, according to FOX Sports’ Damon Martin.

“As a huge fan, I’m honored to be part of EA Sports and explore the world of mixed martial arts,” Tyson said in a press release. “I follow UFC very closely and it’s going to be very cool to see how I would stack up against these amazing MMA athletes.”

“UFC 2” will go on sale on March 15.
