Mike Tyson thinks Conor McGregor made a big mistake agreeing to a boxing match against Floyd Mayweather.

In an interview with Pardon My Take, Tyson gave McGregor little to no chance of beating Mayweather in their Aug. 26 bout.

"McGregor is going to get killed boxing," Tyson said, per Sports Illustrated's Chris Chavez. "I got mad because I thought they were going to use MMA rules against boxing because that's what it's all about: Can the boxer beat the MMA guy? McConor (sic) put his dumba - in a position where he's gonna get knocked out because this guy's been doing this all his life since he was a baby. McConor (sic) can't kick and grab and stuff so he won't stand much of a chance."

"McGregor took the biggest sucker rules in the history of boxing," he added.

Tyson also said that he would allow McGregor to kick and use his knees if they ever fought.
