If you look at the recent Houston Alexander/Thiago Silva fight that would be a great indication. In Alexander's first two UFC fights he showed incredible power and blew out two guys that stood up with him, Keith Jardine and Alessio Sakara. In the Silva fight as soon as Alexander went to the ground he showed zero ability to do anything and Silva pounded him out.
In boxing if someone clinches the referee breaks it. In MMA it is only broken after a long period of inactivity. Tyson would have no clue what to do in the clinch, and if he was put on his back he would be fucked. Don't get me wrong, he could fuck someone up that would be willing to stand with him, but any MMA fighter with half a brain would take it to the mat ASAP. It just wouldn't be pretty for Tyson, save a lucky punch or an idiot that would stand and trade with him...
