Mike Tyson's Favorite MGM Grand Garden Arena After Evander Holyfield vs. Mike Tyson II — 'The Bite Fight'

On June 28, 1997, Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield met for the WBA World Heavyweight title at MGM Grand Garden Arena in a rematch billed 'The Sound and the Fury.' Per Wikipedia and ESPN's 20-year retrospective, with 40 seconds left in the third round Tyson rolled into a clinch and bit roughly an inch of cartilage off Holyfield's right ear, spitting it onto the canvas. Referee Mills Lane deducted two points; Tyson then bit the left ear in the same round, prompting Lane to consult Nevada commission chairman Marc Ratner and disqualify Tyson. Tyson's license was suspended and the moment became, per LiveNOW from FOX and the Las Vegas 360, one of the most replayed events in Vegas sports history. MGM Grand Garden Arena has hosted countless title fights since (and Tyson and Holyfield famously became friends decades later) — but this is the night that defined the building.
