"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"
