Just re-watched. At the very end he says he believes he could beat Mike Tyson, as long as he 'doesn't exchange punches with him'.

At the time he said that, I think it would be a very interesting fight, and even though Tyson knew zero groundwork I think he would have had an excellent chance to beat Rickson to the TD

Here is the whole tournament that preceded the year of the film:

*edit: I'm 16 minutes in, there are some pretty exciting fights. Better than the ones in CHOKE so far

weight differences are obscene (3rd fight)

I didn't know Levecki was Gordeau's student. He looks fuckin scary there man

I don't think I've seen all these fights - really enjoying the whole broadcast, music, interviews etc of the day.

*edit: Rickson finishes that tournament like a BOSSS.

I ran into Levecki last Summer, but couldn't squeeze a one on one outta him, regarding the old days.
