@@JoeCool820 Tank lost because fighters in the UFC were a lot better trained for this, and he didn't evolve past his bar room brawling. Belfort was an olympic class boxer and the difference in speed and technical skill showed. Tank was way too slow to deal with Belfort.

Vitor should have backed off and made Tank stand up and then finishes him that way. Tank was so arrogant about standing and exchanging, but Belfort was dominating Tank with stand up here. It would have served him right.
@@Haddley333 Nonsense. There are some insanely good UFC fighters who respect their opponents & others. Respect is actually taught & expected in most gyms & dojos. The lengths Tank fans go through to try to justify his behavior is wild.
The best part about this is that tank abbot talked crazy shit about vitor during vitors ufc debut. After vitor won he was like, what did this guy win the Olympics or something 😂 I had to look up this fight after that
Vitor was the first true mixed martial arts fighter. Until he came along it was like watching a Tekken fight. You had your judo guy, your street fighter guy, your karate guy and jiu jitsu guy.
If you care anything about MMA, the history of MMA, the athletes that got MMA to where it is now, or you just want to hear from an ass kicker; you have to watch Joe's podcast with Tank. You'll also learn a lot about the human behind the "Tank".
@@dg1431 the juice wasn't quite equal, tanks head didn't add a foot in diameter like most of the og UFC guys. Also, he didn't say skill wasn't important. He said you have to be tough first then add skill, all the skill in the world won't make someone tough. I don't really agree with him on that but be accurate when clowning somebody
its so risky that Vittor kept throwing punches since the beginning...if he didn't manage to KO his opponent, he got tired fast..Tank wasn't as agile and tactical as Sakuraba in evasion and submission. so it was easier to land blows on him than Sakuraba
Such a wild fight. Tank Abbott was a scary dude, putting people lights out. And 18 year old vitor Belfort comes in and just absolutely smokes him in a minute
This is one of those fights where it feels like you are seeing the game change right before your eyes. The new breed of fighters like Vitor made guys like Tank extinct. And eventually guys like Vitor got passed up by the next generation
Tank lost, Vitor was named the Phenom for a reason, but I Respect the hell out of guys like Tank. He was going in for War, win or lose he was trying to Knock his opponents head off, he didnt give a damn about judges or scorecards. Tank is a throwback fighter and most of his Wins are Legendary in their own right. Pure Brawler. All but 1 of his wins were all 1st Round Finishes. When he knocked these big boys out he Knocked them out, Vicously. Tank would have his Victims shaking violently after he starched them, he was literally trying to kill his opponents.
Go do some steroids and see what really happens instead of just believing that they give you some kind of superpowers. 😂 That's not how they work 🤣🤦♂️

vitor at age 19 was fighting monsters with no weight classes and very few rules.....way bigger stones than current day mma fighters who are protected by the rules. jones waited over ten years to cherry pick a heavyweight opponent. balls vs brains but that's as far as it goes.

Tank was known as a brawler but Vitor wasnt scared. He pummeled his ass without fear
He only woncause he was roided ou!

This is when the UFC changed. True mixed fighters were in the game.... I watched this fight on ppv live
Vitor was a different level.

Mma fighters throw fists. Their boxing is rudimentary. Tank met someone with an answer for his aggression and power. Belfort was better

This is what Tank gets for mouthing off so much.
Very well deserved.
Always liked that guy Belfort always put on a good fight for the fans.
One of my favorite UFC fights
Always someone tougher than you eventually
Always satisfying watching tank get owned in the ring.
why is that?

Its mindblowing to know that Vitor fought in the early UFC and also in the modern UFC. He had such a long carrer.
He stopped mid way after his sister got kidnapped and killed which resulted in losses in the cage

cope harder 😂

The way tank has done other fighters fuck that I would have kept going
Same
Agreed.
@@JoeCool820you keep posting this. Tank was a just a fat bully. Good riddance.
Tanks cool as fk now
No gas tank abbot
yea it looked like he was running low on gas after getting up from the first takedown lmfao
That’s what happen when tank went against real fighters 😂
Roids

The real ufc
Vitor Belfort put him on his big football playing behind.
Love it, hey tank this is what its like to fight someone decent. You had no chance
Every time tank fight against a good fighter he loses. He win just because the other arent at his level. Cmon tank, make jokes now with ur rival.
Not even just good ones, bro got kod im 50 secs by paul buenetello
Tank was waving at the ref at 104
Here after the Rogan interview with Tank. I guess "skill" is important in a fight.
and juice
@@MrArgman They were equal in juice, but not in skill.

it’s like Vitor was fighting cautiously for a second, ate a few of Tank’s body shots and decided he could trade 🤣
Tank tapped out like a big baby!
Tank was always quick to tap if he was overmatched. It didnt have to stop, but tank was waving his hand i quit.
Tank was actually thinking "what the fuck" that Big John stopped it, and there was no waiving of the hand here. you are very wrong 🤣💀
yes sir
He was literally flailing.

Tank realized he had no chance and just quit. He wasn’t even hurt that much. Where was the brawler in him then?
Bro what r u looking at he got clipped with the uppercut and over hand dazed
I just read something online saying that Tank would "massacre" prime Ngannou...

at 34 seconds i saw how fast vitor got up from his back and i knew it was done....wtf lol
Whats missing is that after getting a severe beating Tank went over to belfort and shook his hand.
Right, and he never did that!
@@ufcfightpass4091the only way to earn tank’s respect was to beat it out of him.
They stopped it too early
He tapped
AB😂TT BECAME A FLOOR MOP
I like to watch Juiced fighters.
It's a spectator sport. They know the the health risks, it's their choice. Same with football.
Vitor was my favorite fighter back than
Tank is an exciting fighter watch, and would beat my ass no doubt, but boy was that satisfying seeing him get his ass beat like that!
They allowed punching in the back of head
You can even punch ur opponent in the balls too back then
O Vitor naquela época era uma máquina!
Tank Abbot vs Jon Hess wouldve been a marvelous fight
Submission (coma)
before we got mohawk TRT Vitor with the SKY shorts, we have this, Dbol Vitor with eyes on his buttcheeks.
Vitor beat both Tank and Scott Ferrozzo like this. Incredible
Juiced to the gills
They both were
Why is this meatball even in the ring?
Watch Scott Ferrozo vs Vitor. If you think Tank looks like a meatball, "feast" your eyes on this guy (pun intended) 😉

Early stoppage
Steroids is how we will remember his career
Tank Not so tough when your fighting sombody with actually skill💪🏽 tank is overrated in my opinion
over rated by who? never seen anyone say he was very good
Imagine if Tank was juicing like everyone else lol!
He's nothing without the gear. What a shame and blight he was. Blokes all gear with a body attatched.
When da tank fails...
Tank v Vitor Belfort trust me
Dayum! Vitor Sanchez aggressive style was insane!
Belfort....vitor belfort
Nothin like a 20 year old juiced to the gills belfort
