Don't know anything about the MMA or the UFC... but I have to agree with some people here who have mentioned it doesn't matter who you are.... if you are struck just right your lights are out no matter who does it... Anyone can lose anytime anyday... were all just human.
Tank is a fighter I respect , He did what he has done on his own cause he enjoys figting. Best knock out I ever saw was one of Tanks earlier fights with ufc. Kids neck look like it was broke.
tank now and 45 doesn't stand a chance against any strikeforce,UFC or even Bellator heavyweight(like say a Cole Konrad) but he did push guys who very skilled back in they day like Taktarov and Severn to decisions, todays version of Tank Abbott is like a Kimbo Slice who did defeat a skilled opponent in Houston Alexander and maybe and if tank was say 23 and started in mma today and had the discipline to do the proper college NCAA div. 1 ,jiu jitsiu and grappling training
tank doesn't have the greatest hand skill technique but he ever landed a direct bomb straight on the temple even against a top 30 heavyweight(which is VERY,VERY UNLIKLEY TO EVER HAPPEN I WILL CONCEDE) that top 30 guy say like a Stefan Struve would go down and stay down...even though him and butterbean are past their primes i bet tank abbott would beat bean today and when bean was in his prime in a mma match.........PB
Ahh...This was sooo satisfying to see after Cabbage's antics from their first fight at UFC 45.
Even though Tank was never the most gifted fighter technically I just love/ed this guy and would always buy a ticket to see him regardless of his win/loss record and age(if he were to fight again). Love him or hate him the guy was entertaining to watch and put a lot of butts in the seats in his career.
@metalcow11 lol prob not lesnar would get hit once and turtle..tank abbott hit a lot harder then cain valesquez ever did.and lesnars cheap ground n pound wouldnt finish tank abbott in his prime
Not really. Most of the time it means you're arm is too sluggish and heavy to be effective. BJ Penn has thin arms and yet his knockout power is legendary. Mariusz Pudzianowski, perhaps the strongest MMA fighter ever, was wrecked by Sylvia, whose body is much weaker and in worse shape, but is more technical.
@iAMcooooooool yes it does, punches aren't in your arms they are in your legs, back, and chest. That's if your doing them right anyways. Since benching works chest muscles it definitely does help. I don't have huge arms, but I have a 320 lbs. bench press about 900 lbs. leg press and I have good ko power.
@aml5205 Yeah. that ref was probably lucky. imagine if you tailgate tank on the freeway and cutting him off and what he would do haha ha. TANK IS A MONSTER
cabbage is a straight bitch, he talked all that shit because the ref stopped the last fight, tank still wanted to fight. cabbage said he wanted to take down some more more champions, yeah right he got knocked out like the bitch he is...
people forget that tank is an old guy could he beat the best in the world fuck no and he couldnt in his day but in his day he was a very dangerous person to fight and one of the only reasons i started watching ufc cause if u fuck up he will catch u real fucking hard and beat u senseless
@TheRealAxelFury Cabbage did have a hell of a chin, but no one could take a clean full power shot from Tank. He had some of the heaviest hands in MMA history.
Cabbage did beat Tank once before this fight happened though.
Tank is easy to make fun of, but that guy had some serious physical gifts. He could bench 600 fucking pounds and was a pretty good amateur wrestler. If that guy had ever gotten with a good camp and taken nutrition and conditioning seriously....damn.
@Elthenar but he DID get with a good camp< several of them infact, what are you talking about? dont you know peeps in your hood that are just like him?? i know it sucks to see an icon get whooped so many times but still, its tank the "i dont want to train with anybody and do it my own way" abbott
@ren2020ky What good camps are you talking about? Abbott NEVER trained seriously with a high caliber team like say Greg Jacksons or Militech. He was never in the same kind of shape as most of the other fighters.
What I am saying is if Tank had ever seriously commited to a training regimen, built his cardio and lost the excess weight, he could have probably made 205. A guy with Tanks power mixed with a little bit more quickness and a lot more cardio would have been a dangerous guy.
@ren2020ky I suspect that I've forgotten more than you will ever know. What camps has Tank been a part of for any significant length of time, enlighten us princess.
@Elthenar youngman, im 33 yrs old. My martial arts expirience goes all the way back to when i was 4, and went to the gym to watch my dad teach judo. i started wrestling for high school when i was in middle school and wrestled for 4 years in college at wku. since then ive trained in muai thai and im a purple belt in jujitsu. ive fought in an amateur fight league here in atlanta for almost five years and my record is 17-7. Yet all my info about tank came from watching his biography on xsn.
@ren2020ky Save the young man talk, I am 3 years older than you. I don't care about your claims because it's the internet, I could tell you I have a 19th degree black belt in Joe Son Do, it means nothing. I will say this though, I've been watching the UFC since UFC 2. I don't need to watch a special to learn about Tank because I've been following him since he debuted.
Also, I'd bet my old high school has better wrestlers than your college. Look up Brandon High School if you don't believe me.
@Elthenar my friend, if u have followed his career than you would be agreeing with me. drop the whole internet tough guy thing and try to have an intelligent conversation. you obviously misunderstood my initial responds and youve acted like a child ever since. youve been rude and disrespectful and acted like every other little punk on this website who likes to talk big online. drop it until youre ready to discuss it like an adult
@ren2020ky Are you familiar with the phrase NO U? Everything that you have stated applies directly to yourself much moreso than me. I made a factual statement about Tank and you got butthurt. You try to lay the Internet Tough Guy label on me when you are the one calling people Young Man and telling me how badass you are.
You don't know what you are talking about, I called you on it and now you want to take your ball and go home. Get a life and a better grasp of the english language.
@Elthenar i agree he was awesome before ufc got so technical when it was a all out slug fest tank was a knock out king! but then ju jitsu took over and he couldnt fuck with the conditioning and superb skill of the new comers....pansza
@Elthenar yes you are correct, he never trained any freestyle wrestling (SERIOUSLY AFTER JUNIOR COLLEGE), submissions,jiu jitsu, or kicking if say someone with his physical gifts today started wrestling in high school and then in NCAA div. 1 and had that natural punching power and after college learned submissions at a pro training facility, then yes, his diet was less of a problem than his lack of dedication to all around training and his hatred of cardio
@Elthenar WOW, elthenar, not only do I agree w/you, but it's the top rated comment?I better get ready for snow. What can I add to it, other than the reason he's easy to make fun of is what, b/c he's old and cocky....no one would say shit to his face.You are right w/all your comments,&of course there's that incredible punching power.He trhows what seems like is a moderate strike,but w/ all that power behind it, it KO's people.&when younger, went 16+ minutes w.Taktorov@high altitude-he's no joke
@Elthenar The fact that Tank Abbot made it is far as he did in wrestling tells you he was a great athlete. So he had some weight on him - he still worked out.
@ChicagoJoe57 He was a great athlete, but he never built any cardio or developed all around skills. He got by with nothing more than heavy hands and a bad attitude. His training regime involved lifting weights and going to the bar. Imagine if he had gotten with some place like MFS and trained cardio, wrestling, sub defense and proper striking in addition to his natural power.
@patattackinyourface I disagree, Roy Nelson is FAR more well rounded (pun intended) as a fighter and actually has decent cardio. Roy Nelson actually won grappling contests and his BJJ is pretty good.
He lacks the raw KO power and strength of tank though.
@Elthenar I agree with you completely. What I meant by my comment is that he is more talented (hence 2.0) but just can't seem to cut the weight. Roy may be just a cut below possessing the same amount of raw KO power but Tank never had the most technically sound striking which makes you think he could have been so much more devastating.. The competition has gotten a lot better since Tank was knocking people out. If Roy somehow dropped down to light heavy who knows what he could do.
Cabbage is awesome in his tough-chin, and so is Tank. But they don't appear to posses a wide skills of mixed martial arts, which begs the question: Do they train mma? They only throw punches and maybe one waist-high kick. More like kickboxing.
tank abbott is a warrior, he would fight anybody, the man fought in the ufc infront of so many people, there were no rules, plus he hardly trained and he was still putting beatings on people, no steroids, no bull, this guy is a real tough guy and he would of been amazing if he took mma seriously and trained like everyone else.
in this era of ufc, if u were a guy who couldnt fight that well but was willing to take a beating then u could get into the ufc just to get ur ass kicked by tank
He not overrated at all. I don't know of anyone that considers him a top heavyweight contender. As far as being an exciting fighter that shows up to bang, he's way underrated. Love em or hate em, when tank shows up you know it's gonna be a hell of a show.
lol. Nah, tank was trying to stand from a crouched position and the ref pushed him off balance and he fell into a little backwards roll. It was funny though.
any boxer on the planet could beat either of these two fighters. tank was known for his standing game but really his boxing skills are terrible. really a great gap in skill and discipline between boxing and this level of mma
tank was known for his stand up but he was an njcaa wrestling champ so in mma he would slaughter a boxer
in boxing it would depend on what style he was matched up against a brawler or infighter would be a good match but an outfighter or boxer would probably wreck him
@valiantbros Seriously? Cool... Did he fight pro, amateur? Do you have any idea how he did? He seems as if he'd gas too fast for boxing... Keep in mind it's all about punching there, but I'd love to see any old fights of his, if you know where to find them...
im tired of people bringing up the kimbo vs tank fight it was bullshit kimbo shouldve been disqualified for the 6 shots to the back of the head and if tank was 30 hed fuck kimbo up
@slayer01012 they both have no business in Professional MMA as we know it, they are only there these days because of they're names, they bring in money
@slayer01012 I personally think that Tank was paid to throw the Kimbo fight, seemed like he was just going down, and didn't really try that hard. It looks taht way if you watch it again. You have to remember, Elite XC had to protect their number 1 money maker at that time, and you have to know that Tank was way past his prime, I could see him taking money to take a fall.
I love tank abbott because he is not afraid to fight anyone. It doesn't matter that he loses because he fights to fight. He doesn't even train for his fights. He gets a call, and is asked to do a fight, and he agrees to fight, and then he gets off his bar stool and goes to fight.
butterbean is gonna one hit KO him fast. BB has pretty damn decent boxing and hits like a tank. tank just sucks. tank just wants a pay check for more beer and hookers.
idk on that cabbage beat butterbean in a mma fight he might win his boxing matches but in mma when he gets knocked on the ground he cant get up ive seen him lose like that
Yeah Cabbage's head got cracked after he was KO'd by Arlovski. Arlovski actually broke his hand doing it. Then this fight down. He hasn't been the same since.
he didnt really get kod he stood right back up but thats how rocky balboa would do in mma afteer he gets knocked down he doesnt get 10 seconds to recover
i dont know if tank can knock out cabbage..... boom ahah

in this era of ufc, if u were a guy who couldnt fight that well but was willing to take a beating then u could get into the ufc just to get ur ass kicked by tank

That's the most pain Cabbage has ever shown from a punch.

redmethod09878 2 years ago
@redmethod09878
He not overrated at all. I don't know of anyone that considers him a top heavyweight contender. As far as being an exciting fighter that shows up to bang, he's way underrated. Love em or hate em, when tank shows up you know it's gonna be a hell of a show.

why did he loose to kimbo so easy . ? for me he he wanted out as soon as the bell rang in that fight. ,

I agree. I think he got paid to throw it.

lol. Nah, tank was trying to stand from a crouched position and the ref pushed him off balance and he fell into a little backwards roll. It was funny though.

any boxer on the planet could beat either of these two fighters. tank was known for his standing game but really his boxing skills are terrible. really a great gap in skill and discipline between boxing and this level of mma
eatcow 2 years ago
tank was known for his stand up but he was an njcaa wrestling champ so in mma he would slaughter a boxer
in boxing it would depend on what style he was matched up against a brawler or infighter would be a good match but an outfighter or boxer would probably wreck him
blackeye240 2 years ago
Boxing and MMA are completley different. It's like comparing golf and basketball just because both sports involve putting balls in holes.

Tank has been a boxer for 30+ years and one of his trainers was one of Evander Hollyfields trainers. Tank would KO your ass in 5 seconds.
valiantbros 2 years ago
@valiantbros Seriously? Cool... Did he fight pro, amateur? Do you have any idea how he did? He seems as if he'd gas too fast for boxing... Keep in mind it's all about punching there, but I'd love to see any old fights of his, if you know where to find them...

@slayer01012 I personally think that Tank was paid to throw the Kimbo fight, seemed like he was just going down, and didn't really try that hard. It looks taht way if you watch it again. You have to remember, Elite XC had to protect their number 1 money maker at that time, and you have to know that Tank was way past his prime, I could see him taking money to take a fall.

MSNking14 2 years ago 15
I love tank abbott because he is not afraid to fight anyone. It doesn't matter that he loses because he fights to fight. He doesn't even train for his fights. He gets a call, and is asked to do a fight, and he agrees to fight, and then he gets off his bar stool and goes to fight.

Hahaha Tank Abbott is supposed to fight Butterbean soon. Butterbean outweighs him by almost 100 lbs.

butterbean is gonna one hit KO him fast. BB has pretty damn decent boxing and hits like a tank. tank just sucks. tank just wants a pay check for more beer and hookers.
