Mike Tyson has declared Conor McGregor is in fact a "beautiful person", and that his brash persona around UFC events is simply a "gimmick".
The legendary former world heavyweight champion boxer has spent time with the two-weight UFC champion throughout his career, including multiple meetings at various events. Tyson was cageside for some of McGregor's famous world title fights, while the Irishman came to visit him while he was engaging in a speaking tour in the UK recently.
And while discussing the entertainment aspect of being a successful fighter, Tyson noted that McGregor had perfected the art of having a gimmick. He also encouraged others in the business to take note and come up with their own characters to help to sell themselves as entertainers.
