UFC commentator Joe Rogan has revealed he had to change the layout of his podcast studio following his most recent interview with Mike Tyson.
Iron Mike made his second appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast three months before his exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr.
Tyson, 55, was a completely different man to the cool, calm and collected individual Rogan first interviewed in January 2019.
And the former undisputed heavyweight champion’s amped nature left Rogan wishing there was a little more space between them.
During the latest episode of his podcast, the 53-year-old said: “[Mike Tyson] is the reason why this table is this wide.
“This table, I was going to make it more narrow, I even had a smaller table that we were working with as a guide.
“We were still doing the shows back in LA, while we were setting up this studio, I did an interview with Tyson, and he was so amped up for this Roy Jones fight, that I got nervous being in the room.
“I’m like, ‘I like that extra six inches of space between us, because he was so ramped up.”
Rogan wasn’t the only person to notice Tyson’s markedly different demeanour.
He continued: “When he left, Jamie [his producer] goes ‘that’s a totally different person’.
“Because he went from being, ‘Mike Tyson, pot grower, not working out at all’, to getting ready to go to combat again.”
Tyson turned in an impressive display in his exhibition with Jones Jr, which ended in a draw.
And the boxer once known as The Baddest Man on the Planet intends to lace up his gloves again.
When asked if he will fight again, Tyson told Patrick Mouratoglou: “Yeah, absolutely. It’ll be better this time.”
He added: “It was interesting. I felt really good, I felt confident. I felt that I could do it again.”
