The comparisons between Rousey and Iron Mike are prevalent for a reason. In addition to their dominance of their respective sports, Tyson is also known for dispatching would-be challengers quickly. He once knocked out Michael Spinks in a 1988 title bout in just 91 seconds.
The two are also known for their Hollywood pursuits outside of the ring/octagon as well. Rousey has cameo appearances in the upcoming Fast & Furious and Entourage films, while Mike Tyson earned big laughs in The Hangover franchise.
