Following the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight, there are a lot of things being said on social media about the "Baddest Man on the Planet".

At 58 years old, Tyson once again stepped into a boxing ring for his first professional bout in 19 years.

Sadly, Father Time seems to have defeated Tyson before the night began, as he failed to defeat the 27-year-old Paul. In fact, both men failed to put on an exciting fight - with fans at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, booing both men by the final bell.

Nevertheless, with some people saying Mike Tyson needs to hang up his gloves for good and others praising him for being brave enough to compete at 58, there are others talking about "Iron Mike" for a different reason...

...his butt.

Yes, prior to the main event, Tyson was interviewed backstage by his son, Amir, as he prepared to step back in the ring.

It was certainly an emotional and weighted moment: The youngest world champion in history getting fired up and looking to prove to the entire world that an old lion can still roar, promising his son a "vicious win" over Paul before giving him a hug and kiss...

...then he turned around and showed millions of people his bare butt.



It was an unexpectedly humorous moment from an interview that should have been anything but (excuse the pun).

One person wrote: "Like this post if you just saw Mike Tyson’s ass on Netflix. Share if you want to curse others who may not have."

"The only time my Netflix has worked the entire night, and they show me Mike Tyson’s bare a**," another person tweeted.

Here are some more incredible reactions to the moment:




And, yes, we can only extend our deepest condolences for those viewers whose Netflix streams decided to buffer at this exact moment.

Speaking of buffering, the streaming (or lack thereof) throughout the night has led to many Netflix viewers vowing to cancel their subscriptions following the event.
