Transcript

00:00 Mike Tyson just did something that's creeped a lot of people out, and it all started when

00:04 Mike's podcast got a special guest, Hasbulla.

00:06 Now if you didn't know, Hasbulla's been a pretty big name in combat sports for a while

00:11 now, ever since he went viral for his friendship with UFC star Khabib.

00:15 So it was no surprise to see Hasbulla on the same set as Iron Mike.

00:19 But while Hasbulla would have obviously known who Mike was, it looks like Mike had no real

00:24 idea about what was going on.

00:26 Because while the microphones were off, they had a little play fight, when this happened.

00:35 Pretty funny right?

00:36 Well this video went viral, racking up tens of millions of views on Twitter, but not exactly

00:41 for the right reasons.

00:43 Because after Mike was done with the boxing, he did this.

00:53 Mike appearing to give Hasbulla a little nibble on his ear, instantly set off some alarm bells.

00:58 Given back in 1997, Mike was disqualified from a fight after literally biting his opponent's

01:04 ear off.

01:05 Maybe he was giving Hasbulla a kiss?

01:07 Either way, it's a bit weird.

01:10 And there was another problem.

01:11 Because look again at how Mike hugs Hasbulla.

01:14 The guy picks him up and coddles him like he's a toddler.

01:17 But the thing is, Hasbulla is no toddler.

01:21 He's actually 20 years old.

01:22 The guy lives with a growth hormone deficiency, which basically means he can't physically

01:27 develop beyond a certain age.

01:29 And as a lot of people pointed out, if you picture Hasbulla as your more typical 20 year

01:34 old, all of this cuddling and kissing suddenly becomes a bit weirder.

01:37 Now I'm not exactly expecting Mike to bring out the left right goodnight.

01:41 If he did, it wouldn't end well for either party.

01:44 But that begs an important question.

01:46 Why did Mike pick him up?

01:47 Was it an honest mistake?

01:49 Or did Mike just not know who Hasbulla is?

01:51 It would be weird if he didn't know Hasbulla, considering just how big he's gotten.

01:56 His rise in the fighting space has been crazy.

01:59 In fact, he's gone way beyond just the world of fighting, as he's been the subject of memes

02:03 across the internet, especially on TikTok.

02:11 All this attention has gotten him millions of followers across a bunch of platforms,

02:15 and made him one of the most recognisable faces in the scene.

02:18 So it would be weird if Mike didn't know who he was.

02:21 But hey, maybe Mike's just not a TikTok guy.

02:24 He is, after all, 56 years old.

02:27 But he's certainly familiar with some internet personalities in the fighting space.

02:31 After all, he is best buds with Logan Paul, and even appeared on his podcast a few years

02:36 ago.

02:37 So given he knows the likes of Logan, you'd expect Mike to know at least a little bit

02:49 about Hasbulla.

02:50 Either way, this fight's about all the action Mike's seeing these days, given he's been

02:55 retired from the pro scene for the last 18 years, but he has had offers from Jake Paul

02:59 to get back in the ring.

03:00 So maybe next time, he'll pick on someone his own size.
