‘It’s like headbutting a beehive’

Joe Rogan has shared his thoughts on footage of Mike Tyson in an altercation with a man on a plane.

The video shows a man, who is sat behind Tyson on a plane, continually provoking the former undisputed heavyweight champion until Tyson reacted and repeatedly punched his fellow passenger, leaving him bloodied

“It’s real simple: That dude was a douchebag,.” Rogan said on a recent episode of his podcast.

“He was annoying one of the baddest motherf****** that’s ever walked the face of the Earth.

“It’s so dumb! It’s not even kicking a beehive. It’s like smashing – it’s headbutting a beehive.”

“If you find yourself where Mike Tyson’s reaching over the back of an airline seat and punching you in the face, I think you probably earned it.

“People get crazy. They think just because he’s Mike Tyson, he’s famous, he can’t just punch you.

“You’re annoying him! He’s gonna just f****** hit you like a normal person would.”

Rogan is not the only famous face to have come out in support of Tyson since the incident, as we also saw Jake Paul back the legendary fighter.

He said: “If you’re being heckled in public like Mike Tyson was you should legally get a hall pass to beat someone’s ass.

“This generation thinks they can get away with anything.”

UFC president, Dana White, also chipped in, posting: “Hey dummies, for future reference, this is how you stay alive when bumping into Mike Tyson on an airplane.”

White accompanied the tweet with a humorous video of an interaction between the duo.
