# Punch-Packing Performances Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth' Takes a Shot Performing at MGM Grand By Sarah Moore | Published 2012-03-07 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mike-tyson-undisputed-truth References: [latimesblogs.latimes](http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2012/03/mike-tyson-las-vegas-.html) & [latimesblogs.latimes](http://latimesblogs.latimes.com) Kid Dynamite will hit the MGM Grand in April with his one-man show, 'Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth.' Returning to the scene of the infamous 'Holyfield ear-biting-incident,' the boxing heavyweight will attempt to pack as many raw Tyson-isms into an evening as possible -- without throwing a single punch. Known for his ferocious and unpredictable behavior, the fighter will spend 6 nights sharing stories of what it means to be feared and revered with Las Vegas audiences. Despite being known for his fighting spirit, Tyson will be showing a more intimate side of his life by using his words instead of his fists. The success of Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth could be hard to measure as show-goers may keep mum on their real opinions to avoid feeling the famous wrath of Tyson -- or, to ensure that they keep both of their ears.
