Well... He had to calm down.. lol. In case you haven't heard, he needed a liver AND kidney transplant. He's had 5 strokes, & nearly died on multiple occasions. He has since quit drinking, & can barely remember a lot of the moments that made him famous
Best promo ever? Lol. For real though I remember being a kid in 1995 or so when my brother would get the UFC VHS tapes from Blockbuster and we would all watch them as a family. I remember thinking how scary Tank was at the time. He was the scariest guy on the planet.
Tank is the man! Ironic. I remember many years back in the late 90's Ian Freeman was asked in an interview who was the last person he would want to get hit with a punch by and he said Tank Abbott. 10 years later he is interviewing Tank in London.
That dude could drink a 12 pack in 30 minutes, and not be phased I'm telling you. He can put em down. I'm not saying he was an alcoholic but I bet he drank then beers everyday. That's just a habit anyway because you really dont get anything out of a case of beer except the burps, bloated, and pissing. Other then that for a real drinker its just a habit. You don't get that kind of physique by not pounding down alot of pints/brews/ales/suds/beers/longnecks!!!!! That comes from doing a whole hell of alot of 12 ounce curls!!!! Trust me I'm right there with him in the old beer gut dept. But that was and probably still is a hard hitting mother fucker!!! Ask Don Frye and them guys!!!!!! I never seen a Tank Abbott fight I was disappointed with, even if he didn't knock dude out and got gassed, it was still legit and he left it all in that cage!!!! BMF
@@BaseBasvic Absolutely he would have been better. The amount of effort he put into being a top fighter is very very minimal to the top guys today. Drinking heavily during his training camp and before fights is really no effort at all. He did have some real skills though.
I don't like UFC now it's too much show boating and too much bs. I prefer UFC 1 through 14 because them were the golden years of great Fighters that didn't fall asleep during a match.
Yeah of course , my grandpa from my dad’s side defeated Mark ,Coleman ,Don Frye , Kevin Randleman , Marco Ruas, Bass Rutten at once , cool story , I wonder why he never went pro

he just loves to fight XD
what a man
Before a fight nowadays UFC fighters are pumping roids into there vains...whereas tank was drinking Becks and vodka an red bulls with some slags 😂
if you inject roids into your veins, you'll die...
They been pumping roids the only difference is they test for it now
@@Gerickmb do they though?

what a guy, one of my favourite fighters
Tank got knocked out in the very 1st round of the fight he's talking about here lol
I know he didn't just use 'Tank Abbott' and 'classy' in the same sentence.
He called Tank a classy fighter! LOL thanks for the laugh today.
Gotta love Tank~ he's a fighter that also like to fart, belch & drink lots of beer
was a pleasure watching both Tank & Ian in their prime!
vitor?
Which year is this?

He was an alcoholic, and kind of admits that. That's the main reason he needed a transplant and died 5 times on the table.
Legend
Id by him a beer lol
I am a big fan this guy tank abbott.......... in addition to be strong, it's cute and sexy. Hmmm
He lost that fight. Got TKO'd in the first round...2007. One too many Becks.
Alcohol dehydrated his brain making him more vulnerable to a KO loss. It's the same as cutting weight. I'm not Making excuses for him I'm just sayin
I knew as soon as I watched this he lost the fight.
Tank is someone, cared more about partying than training, otherwise I think he would went further.

They both gave him head in the parking lot.

Wow tank is so cool..lol
I want Tank to ko ken shamrock!
I want Tank Abbott to KO Brock Lesnar, I'm sick of Brock!
I want a toilet made of solid gold, but it is not in the cards. Abbott is not even in the same fight universe as Shamrock.
Awful promotion
Didn’t end up being so cool in the end all the drinking

Yea wouldn't want to get lippy in that bar .
Good choice of beer 👍
sexy Tank!

Crazy seeing this after knowing what he looks like now. So sad.
I imagine he looks much older but what do you mean? People don't stay looking the same forever.
He looks fine and healthy now. Idk what ur talking about
This right here is why he had to have a kidney transplant and looks like he might die any minute
