As with most combat sports, there were a tonne of celebrities in the building – one of whom happened to be Kanye West. With 21 pop-up stores across the globe causing mass chaos and queues, West still found some time to watch a little ass-kicking, and it seems that he wasn’t afraid to lay the smackdown himself. According to ESPN reporter Skip Bayless, West arrived at the arena to fine Mike Tyson in his seat. While most of us in this situation would gladly sit on the floor or probably exit the building altogether, West reportedly told Tyson to move along – and the former world heavyweight champ obliged:
I'm here at UFC sitting 2nd row behind Kanye, who had to ask Mike Tyson to move out his his seat. Mike gladly moved. Once upon a time ….

This sounds like quite the spectacle to witness from Bayless sitting in the second row. While West has never been a gangster rapper, he was apparently still able to take it to Tyson – and while we doubt there was any ill feelings involved, this still doesn’t change the fact that Tyson is extremely scary and a certified bad cunt. This has made for a neat little narrative from UFC 202, but it doesn’t come close to Steve-O’s recount of a three-hour cocaine binge with Tyson in a Hollywood bathroom.
Picturing Kanye West telling Mike Tyson to move out his seat is exponentially amusing

@RealSkipBayless @LVFightShop Once upon a time, a young punk ass Kanye would never have dared to tell Mike fucking Tyson to move anywhere.

@RealSkipBayless Once upon a time Kanye would be minus half a ear after that demand?

When it comes to Kanye West, it was he himself who rapped “No one man should have all that power.” We’ll have to wait and see if Tyson reveals his version of events from UFC 202.
