contents Let $G$ be an infinite simple group of finite Morley rank and $α$ a supertight automorphism of $G$ so that the fixed point subgroup $P_n:=C_G(α^n)$ is pseudofinite for all $n\in \mathbb{N}\setminus\{0\}$. It is know (using CFSG) that the socle $S_n:={\rm Soc}(P_n)$ is a (twisted) Chevalley group over a pseudofinite field. We prove that there is $r\in \mathbb{N}\setminus\{0\}$ so that for each $n$ we have $[P_n:S_n] < r$ and that there is no $m \in \mathbb{N}\setminus \{0\}$ so that for each $n$ the sizes of the Sylow $2$-subgroups of $S_n$ are bounded by $m$. We also note that in the recent identification result of $G$ under the assumption ${\rm pr}_2(G)=1$, the use of CFSG is not needed.
