Dana White can’t help but laugh at rules and regulations for Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. fight

Former champion Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. will clash this Saturday night in a special exhibition bout that is being sold as a fight between two legends but the rules make it sounds like something else entirely.

In fact, UFC president Dana White, who counts Tyson as a close friend while also doing business with Jones Jr. in the past, had no idea at the litany of rules in place for the upcoming fight.

California State Athletic Commission executive director Andy Foster previously laid out the rules for the fight, which he equated to a hard sparring session between the boxers.
