abbott fought for about a minute plus before he burned up from exhaustion and pulled a take down so he could rest.from there he goes down again at about 2 mins,and is finished from exhaustion.ridiculous.keep way from the right hand,keep movin away from him to the left,then let him stroke out from his own weight and lack of conditioning.sad.
I don't give a shit what any of you think about tank, talk all the shit you want but he's the one fighting professionally while your running it on youtube, thousands of fighters dream to make it to the pros but they don't. Plus tank has never turned down a single fight and will take them at any time, he don't give a shit. I guaruntee he will be still brawling young punks when he is 60.
Tank was a much betyter powerlifter than a fighter, in mma in the 1990's he was a white Kimbo Slice who just knew how to brawl, had he improved his cardio and learned grappling,BJJ and freestyle wrestling alot better even though he wrestled in juniour college, he should have learned a better takedown defense, learned submissions most importantly AND TAKEN TRAINING FOR FIGHTS MORE SERIOUSLY THAN HE DID
@rayallen Tank never was and never will be a legend! Sounds like your the moron! Wow you watched all of those in order?? Jeeze someone needs to get out of their parents house and find a job or girlfriend and quit watchin vids all day.
Tank is a legend. saddens me how dumb fans are today...im 19 but started watching UFC in order from 1 up to now @ 131. its horrible that ppl hate on Shamrock, Tank, Royce, Taktorav, etc...these people dont pay attention to the past...
@An0niempje your a fuckin moron! There is no way in hell Tank could beat any of those guys!! He was a heavyweight and I'd bet any thing he couldn't even stand with Velasquez more than a round. He throws a few punches and when he doesn't get the ko he gives up cause his fat ass is outta shape
@mustangcobra401 ye sure, he lost to Frank Mir and even Kimbo Slice, but he will totally defeat every other great fighter.
Fedor, Anderson Silva, Velasques, Randy Couture, the entire Gracie family, GSP, Dan Severn, Bas Rutten and all other good fighters are clearly no match for Tank Abbott, he will take them all at the same time probably.
guys like tank and shamrock refused to improve their games. then new guys easily beat them. instead of improving his standup, he just stayed the same with his lame brawling style. he should have gone to Tai land for a year, did nothing but muay tia. then just do nothing but BJJ. but no, they stick with the same old crap, and they wonder why they can't even beat your average guy nowadays.
It's not just a matter of age, mma is a lot different then when tank started...skill levels have increased, not as easy to knock'em out and never will be.
def thought he was finished but he has a chin of diamond and covered up real well. tank tried to hard to finish him and didnt have any left after that.
Tank was and is a legend. He won his last fight by KO vs Mike Bourke. He also avenged his BS loss to Cabbage ny huge KO. I'd like to see him fight again
Tank was pretty good in UFC's beginning but along came the guys that were in shape and could do more than just puch and Tank's days were numbered. Plus having about 150 pounds of belly fat sitting on a pair of bird legs didn't help him either.
They refer tank to a whale in this fight and when tank was ontop of turner the commentator said tank needs this because the intial flurry might of took some air out of him wtf are they talking about tank was completely gassed lol when he got up he could barely stand.
@lajik77 He wasn't always a joke. he was feared. The guy was an animal with a fuck you, i'm gonna rip your fuckn head off and piss down ur neck attitude. he shoulda quit while he was ahead.
Physical strength and striking power doesn't make you good. If Tank had some technical striking and formal boxing he'd be a lot better. But he's just a bar brawler.
@ShotgunDiplomat i'm not saying it does make you good i'm just saying if he had trained properly along with his striking power and strength he could have been a force in the sport.
Tank has no conditioning at all.Forget the 600 bench, 250 lb curls. If he doesnt KO his guy in the first round he quickly runs out of gas. He throws those wild hay makers but has no followup & is cant wrestle at all. Just a street brawler. Goldberg easily kicked his ass too
Just because Brock Lesnar used to be a "pro wrestler" doesn't mean that that b.s. is real. The goldberg vs. tank fight was clearly fake if you know anything AT ALL about fighting.
WOW OK, there MR. Dillsuional. Tank was a California State Wrestling Champion and an ALL american Collegiate Wrestling champion. On top of that Tank has been a boxer for over 30 years. Tank also has studied jujitsu as well. Tank throws all caution to the wind and does what he does best and that is BRAWL. Tank is one of the best Brawlers in MMA history. Tank also has Always taken on ALL opponents and has never ducked anyone ever. Win or lose Tank doesnt care he just LOVES to fight. LEGEND.
he's better than your average man..but he would nevcer make it against any of the new fighters..stamina was not his strong suit, look how fast he gets gassed
If tank would just LOSE WEIGHT.. and replace atleast 50% of that fat with muscle.. HE could have finished this dude and many other like him alot quicker.
I love tank, the guy never cease to amaze me. He's down for anything, he'll fight anybody, and he has never walked away from a fight. Even though he is not a true martial artist, you got to give him props for always having the balls to step into the octagon ready for war at any given time. He's been doing this for many years, but if he had more cardio throughout his career, I think we would have seen many more victories from tank.
He also runs out of breath after like a minute... did anyone else think he just went for that achilles heel lock because he was too tired to throw punches?
Still the hate for Tank...I don't get it...he's an icon and he steps up to the plate. Do you? Byron, your gym must be pretty good then! As the 'guy that beats Tank' maybe I should pop over for some training then...I've beaten some of the world's best so your gym must be incredible!
Lol, thats the difference between a professional fighter like me and an armchair warrior...I think you'll find that the top guys in this sport have a wee bit more respect for each other...
Still replying? Because I can...you show little respect...and respect is not automatic, it must be earned...so I will try and earn it...
Never tried to act tough, never do - that's why I've got the nickname 'Smiler'...
If you're ever in the UK please find time to come and train, you'll find me amiable, knowledgable, a good instructor, and can spar with you at kickboxing/Thai/boxing/MMA/judo/BJJ/grappling in a safe, controlled and constructive way.
Gary,I have tremendous respect for any Professional MMA fighter. I have been in martial arts for 24 years and True fighters HAVE respect for one another.I have tremendous respect for you and what you do. I have known Tank for about 5 years now and have represented him for about the last 2 years now. You and Tank def put on a great show. Look forward to seeing you in action again soon. Respect -Tim.
umm iwas wondering do u think in ur opinon is there a chance 4 me in this im 17 but ive never trained in mma just boxing i hit hard fast and tht good stand up but i cant see my self beating a guy lik tank i mean im massive my self but i cant see it i train boxing and a lot of weight traning if i want this wat i train next ive had 3 amautuer boxing fights but it just dont do it 4 me like this stuff im 6.3 245lbs plz answer
Actually he made the UFC tournament finals twice (where you had to beat 3 men in one night). Once against Oleg Taktarov and once against Don Frye. He did lose them both but very few fighters even got to the finals let alone make it their twice.
I said Tank DID make it to the finals twice... but those final matches were against Don Frye (We agree) and Vitor Belfort. The Taktarov fight was a semi-final match.
Tank lost all 3 of those fights by stoppage, when he was in his prime.
The Belfort fight was a Superfight. The loss to Taktarov was in the finals of UFC VI, and the loss to Frye was in the finals of Ultimate Ultimate '96.
He lost to Belfort by TKO and his losses to Taktarov & Frye were by rear naked choke. At UFC VI both Tank and Oleg were gassed after the match.
Your 100% Wrong you are DILLUSIONAL. Tank made it to the UFC Tournament finals twice. He lost to Oleg Taktarov at the final Fight at UFC 6. Allthough Tank walked out of the Cage and Oleg had to have oxygen administered to him and helped out of the cage. Oleg got a lucky submission on him. And Tank was beating Don Frye to a bloody pulp in the final fight at UFC Ultimate Ultimate 96 tournament and Tank lost his footing and slipped which allowed Frye to sink in a luck choke.
lucky submission?no mate , from what i watched that was no luck . Oleg was a much better conditioned athlete plus a lot more skilfull . fighting is more than throwing punches like a madman ..
Hi! Nope, wasn't knocked out at all, in fact, I'm amazed how well I took those blows lol!!! Take a look at my right foot, its off the ground, and as the first strike hits there's nothing to stop me spin - the force was dissipated away fortunately. If my right foot was planted, I think I'd probably be dead now lol! Give Tank my best regards, he's a top lad with a great sense of humour! And stepping up to the match with 2days notice - class!I've now returned to my natural weight of middleweight..
Hi, I'm Smiler, and I don't see why there's all the hate for Tank? Bob Sapp refused to get on the plane to fight me, so Tank stepped up with three day's notice. He's a top fella. My ego took over at the start, I wanted to see what he's like 'fresh'! Oops! He then gassed trying to finish me, not realising how tough I was. Look at the accuracy of his punching, the way he instantly blocks one of my leg kicks - listen guys, I may have won, but c'mon - Tank is a total legend! And a top fella to boot!
Hey Gary,Great fight you had here VS Tank.. Im good friends with Tank and in fact represent him.. Is it true that in this fight Tank knocked you out, and then another one of his punches woke you up?? I remember the commentator in this fight telling me that, when I was in Miami FL for the Tank vs Kimbo fight in Feb of 2008.
Hi Valiant, please say Hi to Tank from me! Nah, I wasn't knocked out at all...but all I can say is that thank God my right foot wasn't planted, otherwise I would have been lol! Oops!
i think tank should just give up he is to old, of cource his problem has always been stamina. when he was young he was deadly though, i can only think of a few guys that when toe to toe with him, befor submiting him when he was young.
Tank Abbott never had any skill at all. He's never been anything more than a fat guy who throws punches. I'm glad to see it every time he gets his fat ass handed to him by someone with skill and discipline.
9-14 pro MMA record for Tank. It's called TRAINING, it's called CONDITIONING - pretty apparent Tank never did much of either. Classic example of why street fighters and "brawlers" are vastly inferior to true MMA fighters.
fat bastard cunt tank loses. cant believe he hit a clean shot and ended up losing fat cunt. il fight him and run and dodge 10 seconds wherby fat bastard bit bull tank will be out of breathe and kick seven shades of shit out of him. i think his trainers fed him dog shit
Tank had six hours notice on this fight. He didnt even train and had a few cocktails before this fight.... if he actually took it seriously he would of won.
No he would not have won shit. Tank is all about excuses, blah blah blah he gets his ass whipped to easy. I challenge him, you hear that tanky I am calling your bitch ass out, just bring it chump !
wow- this Turner fellow weathered a tank whirl wind a take down- yeah, tank's old and he's never been the best cardio guy, more of a weight lifter, but he's still fighting past 40, sure don't see the gracies doing that... that MOFO will probably be knockin' out girl scouts when he's sixty.
Tank is a FAT Bastard that is 2-8 in last 10 fights and he hasn't whipped anybody decent ever he is nothing. The type gun who runs his mouth at a bar then gets smacked around like a crybaby
you are a fucking idiot. a he's past his prime. But, never beaten anybody decent ever?....give your bitch head a shake - in his day he was unstoppable. Anyone who calls tank a chump or whatever knows absolutey nothing about the world of fighting....and probably wears some bitch ass affliction T shirt.
How the hell can you say that "in his day he was unstoppable"?
When the hell was Tank NOT stopped? In his early days he lost to Taktarov, he lost to Frye, he lost to Ferozzo (!!!!!)... give me break.
I would say anyone who calls him a great fighter is the one who knows jack about "the world of fighting". He attracts the blood thirsty morons... the people that would boo when Gracie fought cause they didnt get wtf was going on. Same type of people that think Kimbo slice is one bad dude (lol)...
I like to feel sexy....knowing someone is watching me ..wanting me...turns me on!BADLY! I like to flirt and pose..and sometimes i like to get WILD! how? ..he he..come in video and youll see:-)) maybe u can teach me something..or maybe i will ! come visit me at _ MeetYourFling (.COM) _ my user-id there is lorita-oiph chat soon on cam :-) ufsyihgtlltp
tank, butterbean, and many others= big, tough, can take a punch, BUT all of that + out of shape has been left behind by MMA... now we're on to Sapp, Kimbo and others that will run their time as big, powerful, cant take a punch, and if they cant KO the opponent in the first round their sunk.... exciting?? YES!!! sport?? naaaaaa.......
dumbass ref, he should have let Turnet beat him till the end of the round.

Tank is a great fighter?
Yeah, maybe Circa 1996. Even then, he couldnt beat the top echelon.
He got owned by Don Frye and Vitor Belfort, in the only times he ever made it to the finals of the tournament.
I give him props, he has balls. Just as anyone does who steps into the ring or cage.
But just being a big name does not make you 'great'. Tank Abbott is not 'great'. He is a drunken brawler.

Tank lost all 3 of those fights by stoppage, when he was in his prime.

And just to be clear, there is no shame in losing to those 3 guys... especially in a tournament setup.
Props to Tank and the guy he fought in this video!
ByronC900 2 years ago
The Belfort fight was a Superfight. The loss to Taktarov was in the finals of UFC VI, and the loss to Frye was in the finals of Ultimate Ultimate '96.
He lost to Belfort by TKO and his losses to Taktarov & Frye were by rear naked choke. At UFC VI both Tank and Oleg were gassed after the match.

Your 100% Wrong you are DILLUSIONAL. Tank made it to the UFC Tournament finals twice. He lost to Oleg Taktarov at the final Fight at UFC 6. Allthough Tank walked out of the Cage and Oleg had to have oxygen administered to him and helped out of the cage. Oleg got a lucky submission on him. And Tank was beating Don Frye to a bloody pulp in the final fight at UFC Ultimate Ultimate 96 tournament and Tank lost his footing and slipped which allowed Frye to sink in a luck choke.

lucky submission?no mate , from what i watched that was no luck . Oleg was a much better conditioned athlete plus a lot more skilfull . fighting is more than throwing punches like a madman ..

The Belfort match was later on. The match against Oleg was one of his first appearances in the Octagon.

Gary is a decent fighter. Tank has terrible stamina & thats why he lost. gary's stamina was better it's plain to see.
good fight.

Hi! Nope, wasn't knocked out at all, in fact, I'm amazed how well I took those blows lol!!! Take a look at my right foot, its off the ground, and as the first strike hits there's nothing to stop me spin - the force was dissipated away fortunately. If my right foot was planted, I think I'd probably be dead now lol! Give Tank my best regards, he's a top lad with a great sense of humour! And stepping up to the match with 2days notice - class!I've now returned to my natural weight of middleweight..
garysmilerturner 3 years ago
Oh God...
Maybe he should work on his conditioning. Seriously, if he could punch like that the ENTIRE match, he'd be unstoppable.
Thats his main problem. He just needs to get in a bit better shape and then he could bitchslap anyone he wanted.

Hi, I'm Smiler, and I don't see why there's all the hate for Tank? Bob Sapp refused to get on the plane to fight me, so Tank stepped up with three day's notice. He's a top fella. My ego took over at the start, I wanted to see what he's like 'fresh'! Oops! He then gassed trying to finish me, not realising how tough I was. Look at the accuracy of his punching, the way he instantly blocks one of my leg kicks - listen guys, I may have won, but c'mon - Tank is a total legend! And a top fella to boot!

Hey Gary,Great fight you had here VS Tank.. Im good friends with Tank and in fact represent him.. Is it true that in this fight Tank knocked you out, and then another one of his punches woke you up?? I remember the commentator in this fight telling me that, when I was in Miami FL for the Tank vs Kimbo fight in Feb of 2008.

Hi Valiant, please say Hi to Tank from me! Nah, I wasn't knocked out at all...but all I can say is that thank God my right foot wasn't planted, otherwise I would have been lol! Oops!

i think tank should just give up he is to old, of cource his problem has always been stamina. when he was young he was deadly though, i can only think of a few guys that when toe to toe with him, befor submiting him when he was young.

Tank Abbott never had any skill at all. He's never been anything more than a fat guy who throws punches. I'm glad to see it every time he gets his fat ass handed to him by someone with skill and discipline.

9-14 pro MMA record for Tank. It's called TRAINING, it's called CONDITIONING - pretty apparent Tank never did much of either. Classic example of why street fighters and "brawlers" are vastly inferior to true MMA fighters.

Tank could go for a pretty good while back in the day. I mean, he's never been known for his conditioning, but his wind wasn't bad for a fat guy.

What kills me is that Tank gets his ass handed to him and still talks shit about his opponent.
It almost makes you want his opponent to kick him when he's down.

Tank is a FAT Bastard that is 2-8 in last 10 fights and he hasn't whipped anybody decent ever he is nothing. The type gun who runs his mouth at a bar then gets smacked around like a crybaby

you are a fucking idiot. a he's past his prime. But, never beaten anybody decent ever?....give your bitch head a shake - in his day he was unstoppable. Anyone who calls tank a chump or whatever knows absolutey nothing about the world of fighting....and probably wears some bitch ass affliction T shirt.
firemun59 3 years ago
How the hell can you say that "in his day he was unstoppable"?
When the hell was Tank NOT stopped? In his early days he lost to Taktarov, he lost to Frye, he lost to Ferozzo (!!!!!)... give me break.
I would say anyone who calls him a great fighter is the one who knows jack about "the world of fighting". He attracts the blood thirsty morons... the people that would boo when Gracie fought cause they didnt get wtf was going on. Same type of people that think Kimbo slice is one bad dude (lol)...
