"1 Mike, 2 Mikes, 3 Mikes, 4  The fact is every opponent has touched the floor  5 months until Tyson and I go to war So in the meantime me & Perry are going to make Tampa roar  I fear no man, anytime, anywhere, anyplace  On July 20th it’s going to be another W, so let us say grace  For the BKFC champ, who will take a knee   Then we will go to Ireland and take McGregors equity"
