    My favorite tank quote (after beating guy bloody but getting tapped out). “He’s going to the hospital, and I’m going to the bar, to maybe get in another fight”. He became my favorite after that.

    lol that song choice. Tank was a beast, back in the day, though. His only losses were to Scott Ferrozzo (underrated. Find me another 300+ lb guy who could fight like that), Don Frye, Oleg Taktarov( both of those two had extreamly suspicious and fast wins to former sparring partners, in the semi-finals of their tornaments. Also, Abbott was bulldozing Frye, until Tank literally slipped up), Vitor (Do I even need to say it? He was on enough gas to fuel an ocean liner from china to new york and Tank said he wasn't ready to be stopped when the fight was called), Maurice Smith (credible opponent), Pedro Rizzo (Tough fight, got cut down like a redwood by those leg kicks for 7 minutes and then ran into the perfect right hand), and Dan Severn (Dan hit Tank with every strike known to man and Tank still regained his feet towards the end of the fight). After his time in pro wrestling and his return after 4+ years at 38, Tank looked like he just didn't really want to be there anymore. Half of his offence had been taken anyway from all of the new rules.

He would ether get picked apart by elite striker's with good take-down defense or taken down & submitted by elite grappler's with good blocking & head-movement.

He said if you count all the times he's been arrested for assault then he's been in more fights then all the other fighters at the event combined. I found that funny because it's more then likely true. I'd liked to have seen videos of them. To bad there were no camera phones in the late 70's to 80's

      Many of the best fighters in history come feom the past, before the decade of "millennial" fighters. Now there is a huge gap between fighters skills, and it is nothing but science which just results in techincal wins or kids getting submitted early. Maybe hit with a lucky ko that the classic fighters threw every punch. Fights were may more fun then, and weight classes werent so large. Someone like connor could hide behind it now, but if he talked like the millennial in this comment thread to someone like tank Abbott in his days connor would get slammed or worse, no technique will save you from that in the real world, not without injury or asphalt to the skull

    Absolutely love Tank Abbot! Always did since a kid. In his time he really was a young TANK and always put on a brawl lol. He never claimed to be the epitome of perfect martial arts form, just someone that was tougher and stronger then the guys that did claim that haha 😅 some of the knockouts he hit guys with were just brutal. I always wonder what couldve happened if he trained in a serious way like they do today when he was in his prime but definitely an OG and deserves respect. Same thing with kimbo slice. He was another guy that had the heart of a fighter and could've probably gone far too.
