  • Tank Abbott is the rightful winner of UFC 6 and the Ultimate Ultimate 1996. At UFC 6, Patrick Smith was paid to drop out of the tournament and alternate Anthony Macias threw his fight against Oleg Taktarov, giving him a free round. At the Ultimate Ultimate, Mark Hall threw his fight against Don Frye, giving him a free round.

  • O'doyle rules!

  • tank has a 10-14 record lol!

  • @TheEntityProduction hahahahahahahaha...

  • Daym Tank is Big.

  • Tank is a punk and a bully. This is a professional sport so when Tank knocked out John Matua and then imitaded him laying there, I lost all respect for Tank. The mans record in MMA is 10-14, so no, that doesnt make him a pioneer of the sport. Hes a brawler, not an MMA fighter. If he was, his record would be better than 10-14. I dont even like Kimbo, but it made my day to see Tank get his arrogant ass knocked out. Thank is NOT a winner, hes a bar hopping wanna be brawler. Youre all morons...

  • @kane1111111 you are the moron tank is a pioneer of mma you know those gloves mma fighters love to wear guess what tank was the man who brought them in yeah he was a brawler so what he always showed up to fight everytime win or lose you mention his record which has nothing to do with his legacy he was one of the first huge stars ufc had and did not need to suck up to dana to get there kimbo knocked him out big deal tank was way past his prime tank in his prime would kill kimbo nuff said

  • @kane1111111 Hey numb nut's, Tank is a fighter foreal. he didnt give a fuck bowt a black belt or watever. he's a fighter an thats that. I dont see you getting in the cage or ring an fighting pussy. hahahaha!!

  • "Well as you can see thier's only one man in the world who can beat me..... and that's myself,.... and Kimbo.

  • the two girls behind him are hot.

  • He's not out of shape.....look at those traps and forearms! Obviously when you weigh 280 it is tougher to have endurance, especially at 5,000 ft elevation.

  • "On top of the Octagon with a bunch of bloody bodies around me" that's a scary quote. Tank was one of the scariest guys ever in MMA. His debut fight against John matua is a classic. Tank nearly killed this 400lb guy, knocked out all of his teeth and put him in the hospital for a week.

  • I think Tank got winded during this interveiw. Tanks the man.

  • He sure is MMA God....

  • the ufc wouldnt be where it is today without entertaining characters like tank. i thought he was better than his record showed.

  • Wow! Tank showed respect for Jeff Blatnic at the end of the interview. Who else did that? Tank is a great fighter!

  • He's probably shit faced while he's fighting...

  • Word "mis-conscrew" at 1.04 any1 please .

  • @99whiteman misconstrue.....meaning to interpret wrongly.

  • Reminds me of Mick Foley with an Attitude :P

  • Man if Tank had have actually fixed his cardio issue who knows how good he could have been in the early days.

  • @Stevie10Gunshot

    Exactly. If a guy like that would have quit drinking, and into serious training and get a decent coach/gym (he had none of that), then personally I think his streetfighting style would have become so empowered by all the other stuff that he'd have been a very serious contender that probably would have won the UFC title at least 1 time. Probably more.

  • @dorlandosonicNL Big time. Decent wresting and KO power in his hands. Maybe the first 'sprawl and brawl' fighter in the UFC. What could have been...

  • Tank was one of the top fighters in his day, both his runner up losses in UFC 6 and Ultimate Ultimate 96 were close fights.. he was winning the fights against Oleg Taktarov and Frye. You'd think if there were rounds back then he might have even won the Oleg fight. The Frye fight was kind of a fluke... if he hadn't of slipped he might have won.

  • MMM dayumm look at that little treat behind him at 1:16.. YUMMY

  • tank honestly seems like a cool dude, at least he had character and gave his all. UFC wishes they had great characters like this today.

  • @bodizone1 Tank was cool because he had no ego. He was actually secure enough in himself not to worry about fans or proving anything. Yeah, you don't see that anymore.

  • tank has achieved recognition, but not that much in mma. he was all american wrestler in college and a california state wrestling champion. the reason why his record is not the best is because he doesnt take it seriously. if he trained harder, he would have more wins than losses. so for all of you calling him a loser, fuck off because he was a champion.

  • this guy could have really been something... he shit on that oppoutunity though

  • Miletich could kick the shit out him.

  • this guy wont have a boring fight but he should not b talking bout losers wat is his record 11-343563556-1

  • i <3 TANK such a awesome fighter

  • Tank is actually a good guy at heart. He's just a natural born fighter who loves to fight. If he had of been able to grow with martial arts and the way it has evolved today he would be at the top. He was an animal in his young days, nobody wanted to fight him. He's actually quite intelligent.

  • "misconscrew" Lol!!

  • "im hurrying" lol war tank

  • TANK IS THE MAN..WIN OR LOSE ITS ALWAYS ENTERTAINMENT

  • A motivated tank

  • Tank is terrible. He sucks but people loved him. He made every plumber out there think they could get in the octagon..

  • I love to see Tank fight, but you gotta admit the guy sounds like he's fucking retarded. He can't follow an idea through. I dunno if its because he's nervous, or because he's not just very bright, but the man is just verbally challenged in such a level that he seems kinda brain damaged.

  • @Syringe01 lol he's drunk

  • @JPThunder01 Not just this interview though, its ALL of them.

  • @Syringe01 So he's wasted in all of them

  • @JPThunder01 He is educated. He has a degree in history I think, but yeah, he's usually drunk in his interviews... I've heard a few were he isn't and in those few he sounds pretty intelligent.

  • @Syringe01

    You should watch the docu on him 'Ultimate Tank Abbott'. It's floating around on the quicksilverscreen forums. He was indeed drunk every day, he really loved to drink and fight. That's pretty much it. In the docu, he even mentioned that on some occasion he even traveled and fought for FREE. Yes, a guy who steps in a cage risking his health, for FREE, simply 'cause he loves to fight. This guy is different, very funny, and great in his own right. But very different indeed.

  • @Syringe01 the fucking guy likes to drink...leave him alone

  • @Syringe01

    I don't know what you're talking about, the ideas he expresses are coherent here.

    and, hey, the guy has a degree in History.

  • @Syringe01 you dont seem very bright

  • @Syringe01 Tank Abbott has a COLLEGE degree,. I bet my house you wouldnt call Tank retarded to his face. He would bash your skull in with one punch.

  • @Syringe01 Lets see you get up and do a TV interview in a packed arena. You cocky young punk!! what the fuck have you ever acheived to be able to criticize this legend?? u are a prize prick , do everyone a favour and shut the fuck up. Now that feels a lot better. Peace.

  • @Syringe01 well said

  • @Syringe01 I don't agree. Have you ever seen Ken Shamrock do an interview? the guy is a moron as are 99% of fighters. Tank is a college grad, he has a bachelor's in history. I think he was articulate enough in this interview maybe he was drunk a little but the times I've heard him speak he sounds intelligent and he has a good vocabulary.

  • @gonzomoya420 Tank is one of the few intelligent fighters out there. All of his interviews are very insightful smart. I always listen to what he has to say. Sure hes an asshole, but hes a funny asshole with a high IQ. And Tank has a very broad vocabulary with some hilarious quotes. And Ken Shamrock has the IQ of a fucking 2x4.

  • @Syringe01 He's got an IQ of around 80. Tank is also a functioning alcoholic.

  • @Syringe01 He went to college and graduated - he could not be a retard. He was from a wrestling background where hype is the name of the game. He knows that he needs to come off like the villian in the UFC to gain a following - and he seems to do that well. I would not under-estimate the guy. He looks to have a solid wrestling and boxing background.

  • this guy is a fucking joke go lose some weight tank you fat overweight pos you definitely are not a winner with your pathetic 10-14 you blow dick you delusional fatfuck you are the furthest thing from an mma legend you have no skill at what you do you fucking sloppy pig lol

  • @MilesP777

    I'm no fan of Tank Abbot, but dude -- I'd like to see your record. If it's better than 10-14 then you're welcome to talk all the shit you like, but otherwise show a little respect. I'm guessing that he's probably closer to being an "MMA Legend" than you are, and even with his windmilling punches I'm willing to bet he's less of a "sloppy pig" in a fighting cage than you are.

  • Tank..... he iz a legend.

  • "misconSCREW" a tankism...

  • Tank has some entertaining KOs from early in his career but his bad attitude and cockiness make him very hard to admire... MMA outgrew his type quick though, in a short order his once lethal right hand became an all too predictable tool and he failed to change with the times. Sure he may have a couple fairly recent KOs against cans but he's definitely not a threat to most professional MMA fighters today. His early fights are fun to watch but I equally enjoy watching him get beat down.

  • *sigh* What a laugh.

  • this fighter had good victories in mma competitions. He is really an important name for history of mma. He always liked joking and saying thigs to fighters , people and to everybody. I admit this man was very important, but he lost many fights too and he is not the best, The braziilian fighters and gracie jiu jitsu showed to the worls who and what martial art is the most importante in mma world.

  • Misconscrew? Doesnt he mean misconstrue. I guess he missed that day at state college.Taken way too many head shots.

  • everybody that calls tank a pussy are nerds that sit behind there computer and shake at the thought of tank

  • @cadillacman851 more like fucking asshole than pussy and not to mention bully , people I hate

  • @cadillacman851 Who called him a pussy? ever?

  • Tank Abbott can cut better promos than John Cena.

  • what's that mean?

  • Tank gave a great showing at the UU. He's the man. Bring him back to the UFC.

  • @Hounsfield what bring him back to the ufc to get destroyed by every one

  • tank is THE FUCKING MAN. oleg got lucky... not really oleg was a beast n tank ran out of steam

  • Because even though they don't have the best records, they almost always come to fight and make it exciting to watch.

  • @SpirtualSuzie  shut up stupid

  • respect Tank!!!

  • tank is real , unlike most fighters who are fake ad do it for money and fame. tank is a real fighter , the man would fight anyone and still would at 45 . hes a true warrior

  • Legend, tank rules!

  • the only one that can beat you is Pies!

  • He seems unusually sober in this one...

  • He may be fat and out of shape, but he's in there fighting. Thats more than most people can say sitting here typing about it.

  • most? you mean all there are no fighters here just posers writing about it and yes that includes me!

  • tank is a out of shape fat cocky asshole

  • tank says your a loser he is there and your not

  • Tanks a brawler whos past his prime but that's no reason to hate on him. He is a pioneer of the sport.

  • He is a God

  • "misconskrew"...

  • hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah i was laughing at the too hahaha!!

  • "I didn't come prepared.." Next time...." "I will be..." "I'm a winner..."

    The story of Tank's life.

    The guy's a slug, He never trained TO WIN, drank too much, over-ate...didn't push the cardio side, and talked a good game....and always had a new story about about "how it could have been.... A loser.

  • He says that just to piss off guys like you, haven't u realised that? He doesnt care a shit, he has won so much money from every fight and just chilling in life... Who's the winner, he or you? You my friend, are the looser.

  • Word!

  • totally agree!

  • Precisely

  • dude's hardcore, id like to know his workout

  • too much food a beer.

  • if he actually trained seriously and dieted properly I think he could have been a force in the UFC

  • tank rules, goldberg too

  • You can tell Tank was an outcast kidd when young but he seems like a great person inside that is why he had to toughen up. Even if he looses people are impressed, hes got the heart not these pro bullshiters whom study tecniques he is a natural!

  • He has the heart of the warrior

  • well said!

  • Wrestlers are the Martial Arts of America !!!!

  • If Tank Abbott wouldn't have drank, got in shape, and everything he might have been one of the best! It's a shame that Topps didn't include him or Jeremy Horn in their UFC cards!

  • fuckin awesome, i love his attitude, its bad ass.

  • Win or Lose Tank is a goddamn LEGEND !!!

  • You can tell he has a keen intellect

  • i respect tank because he dosent take roids call me dumb or w.e but almost everyone in the ufc takes roids now adays i dont belive tank ever did by default hes the best in the biz back in the day shamrock took em still does so no matter who wins the fight thats comeing up tank wins by default

  • Man, you're wrong.

  • Tank goes in with his own natural ability with no roids or supps. Most of these guys take HGH or roids these days it is impossible not to with that kind of training day in day out. Write on dillondoty.

  • "Tank goes in with his own natural ability with no roids or supps"

    I hope you're being ironic..?

  • tank is right wrestling is americas martial art.

  • i dont know for sure but im pretty sure he had a couple of drinks before that interview lol

  • Tanks attitude, is a front. Just like Tito's.

    the UFC needs bad guys. Tito and Tank both capitalized on that.

    they have shitty personalities, but these interviews aren't really them.

  • For all those that disrespect Tank Abbott , I want you to think of one thing and answer this question, Would you get in the cage with him? Didn't think so. One more thing, I am not just some losewho spends his entire life blogging like some losers out there, I am a MMA fighter who has the utmost respect fo Tank, but for nobody else and as far the fighters today, Tank is the real thing, not a reality star. like the rest of them.

  • i'd smash kimbo slice and kimbo slice smashed tank like it was nothing. I'm coming from a renzo gracie jiu jitsu team and an extreme couture camp. I'm only a LHW but it would be no problem what so ever.

  • if they suck so bad and your so good, why would you wast time even talking about beating these inferiors up, you should step it up a bit and go for Fedor.

  • I agree. I admire the way Tank does not clamor for recognition. And perhaps that is why he is the most popular UFC star who never won.

  • Tank is cool

  • Look at your name, takerhbkfan, who are you to say that only rednecks liked him?

  • He is a tough guy, back in the days.. he fought matches only to get arrested right after the fight. because it was illegal. And he could fight several fights a night. No he never was the best, but to go into the octagon only as urself, being a averege brawler. I respect that, and for the nobodies, i would be pleased to see you as an average guy go and do the same. He was there onyl to fight, he never made stupid excuses or changed his attitude due to a lost.. fuck you...

  • Tank's arrogant promos ruled.

  • well greece really

  • "im here and you're not", he fucked everyone in the face with that comment

  • Tank seems half switched on here. Now a days he just sounds drunk and mumbles he's speech.

  • love tank

  • "misconscrew"

  • Kimbo IS the next Tank Abbott. A tough guy who will win his share of fights but will have a hard time beating truly skilled opponents.

  • IF YOU DONT LIKE TANK YOUR WEAK 14/88

  • REPRESENT BROTHER 88hh~!

  • I had a dream that Tank was in jail and Ian Stewart was his girlfriend.

  • ..who the fuck cares if hes fat? hes an awesome fighter and insanely strong..WHILE hes overweight..that proves how good he COULD be.and the fight that he lost with kimbo slice was a rematch. if you saw the real thing youd know that tank is better than kimbo..kimbo cheated an dkept him down and punched the back of his head like 3 times.

  • What a classy guy

  • Let's be honest people, now that MMA is a real sport with people who actually train hard and cross train different disciplines, tough guys like Tank Abbott are obsolete. People with real skill and talent are legends not this brutish, fat drunkard.

    Legends: Kazushi Sakuraba, Royce Gracie, Randy Coutoure, CroCop, Bas Rutten, Frank Shamrock.

    Not Legends nor will ever be: Tank Abbott, Kimbo Slice, Ken Shamrock.

  • Ken Shamrock not a legend ? for crying out loud hes in the hall of fame, and he IS a legend, we will see what happens when Kimbo fights Shamrock.

  • well he said no one can take him, well kimbo slice kicked hees ass. he is just fat.

  • alot of the so called mma expert fan(joe rogan cock sucker) criticise tank for not having respect or not taking it seriously NO SHIT even after all these years you still havnt learned he said flat out HE DOESNT CARE ABOUT LOSING AND WINNING to him id say he was fighting just for money but lets be honest tank fights and the money just happens to be a bonus for him he's not like tito who talks trash and doesnt really mean it he means it

  • Even if Tank have a bad record , That doesn't mean he's a bad fighter , Let me explain this , In the UFC every single man comes out showing off his black belt's' , And Tank has no black belts , Only some experience in street fights and some highschool wrestling . This man as how Jim Brown said it 'Talks to talk' & Bruce Buffer continued ' And he walks to walk ' . And even he got only little wins , They ROCKED .

    No one can deny that he's a legend .

  • Yeah, i agree with you man! :)

  • shut up

    yesteday i killed tank and then i fuck his ass by my 3ear :D

  • hahahaha he ALWAYS has an excuse for losing....hahahaha.

  • Tank is very embarrasing between 0:12 and 0:16.

  • it was a diss towards dan severn

  • "I'm here and you're not."

  • Tank Abbott. 15 losses. 5 wins. Not exactly an impressive ranking. Tank is just another big, dumb brawler who is now fat and lazier then before. It was an easy win for Kimbo. I'd like to see Kimbo fight someone who can actually fight.

  • Tanks record is 9-14 get it right dumb-ass. Thats not a bad record. 9 wins is alot more then 5 you do know the difference right??

  • Tank Abbott is an amazing boxer but seems to lose against the stronger jujitsu and MMA trained types.

  • Its not the result that counts but the fight is what counts. Most if not all of Tank's losses were very tough battles and took the other fighter a long time to beat him and some of his losses were just flukes.

  • he has 9 wins and you cant look at his record to know how good he is look at the opponets he fought there all pretty good

  • was that the first of Tanks bullshit? seems to have set the president for a carear of under performances and crappt excuses for another shot.

  • UFC 7. This was the first UFC I ever saw live on PPV. When Tank sarcastically says "As you know!", he's making fun of Dan Severn.

    There's several great Tank interviews from the early days, most memorable to me is when he tells of a dream where he's getting raped by Freddie Mercury.

  • This is over years ago. Tank is much much younger(despite the fact he's fat) and in better shape. If Kimbo was to fight tank...TEN years ago...kimbo would lose. HANDS DOWN. In the recent fight, you can tell TANKS age. You can see it. He's slowed down. Tank also won his fights without using Bas Rueten or however you spell his name in his corner. He did it on his own.

  • You're an idiot, obviously. Let me guess, Kimbo is an MMA legend, right? You sound like some punk 13 year old white kid trying to sound black through a keyboard with a poor choice of words.

    Tapping the keyboard extra hard doesn't make your offline life make you look any tougher.

    Just because you sprouted some peach fuzz and an odd little patch of green mold on your nuts doesn't make you a man, net thug.

  • Do you know he made $126,000.00 for his fight with Kimbo. Who's the dumb-ass you dumb mother fucker.

  • Tank looked good all cleaned up after loosing the billy goat look. The guy needs to retire before he looses any more brain marbles.

  • Well Kimbo beat Tank down like a dog in the street! and it's really not surprising at all..I called that one. as did I call Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir! I just didn't expect Frank to submit him that fast. Tank Abbott should have never agreed to fight Kimbo, he best go do some sit ups and lay off the damn pizza, Kimbo is in top shape man! he'll go pretty far.. I just hope my boy Chuck Liddell get's back on top!

  • this guy is quite simply a bell end

  • Yeah ok.. when Tank arrived on the scene in the early days of MMA, he seperated the men from the boys. He might not have beaten the top fighters but he definately took out all the trash.. guys who thought they were tough with their bullshit martial arts.

  • Yeah he talks a lotta shit for getting his ass kicked by kimbo in the 1rst round.

  • lol this interview was like 20 years ago, and Kimbo still has a ways to go before he gets any kind of respect... Tank Abbott is the only fighter of any worth in the MMA world that Kimbo has beaten, and Tank is washed up, out of shape and 42. So what? At least Lesnar is fighting top competition in the UFC, what's gonna happen when Kimbo steps in with someone the caliber of Frank Mir, who isn't even one of the top fighters but still more than enough for Kimbo?

  • frank mir is a beast, but kimbo is just more beastly....maybe not more trained....but street fighters are the best kind anywayz

  • you're a retard. tank would have taken bimbo apart in his prime

  • Calm it down there skippy, your not a cowboy and this isn't broke back mountain. I don't really care. So shut the hell up and leave me alone.

  • wtf? my point is you make a stupid comment, expect to get slapped like a ho. have a good night jack

  • Yeah ok I dnt c u slappin me in real life mu'fucka. You think he is sooo hard, man he wuz on WWF which is FAKE so fuck u. And y do you care what I think anyway you fag? Go chase a rainbow.

  • if there's a gallon of heineken and a joint at the end of that rainbow i'll be there. if you think Tank wasn't one of the best during his time in the game your idiocy speaks for itself. now go bend over for someone else punk

  • I didn't say that you fag. I just pointed out what happened-like Kimbo beating his ass in the first round and apperaing on WWF. So shut the fuck up you lil' Bitch.

  • dumbass

  • Wow nice comeback.Your a smartone.

  • hahgahaha misconscrew....

  • shamrock32 is right though fedor would getm
