The original brawler, respect.

Tanks KO of Matua was epic

 

[SpecialDelivery]

Some of the biggest punching power in MMA history.

And also before all the "experts" starting yapping,
600lbs is 600 mother fucking POUNDS!!!!

What i remember most of Tank was the toe hold Mir caught him in..

That's like only remember Mir's losses in the last few years..

 

[Staph infection]

He gave his girlfriend his teeth so he could beat someone up in the crowd once.

Ufc had some terrible match making upon Tanks Return. Fucking ridiculous.
Joe Silva sometimes is a complete moron

 

[El Che]

Good post TS.

Tank immediately came to mind when I say the thread title.

 

[Reign009]

The sport was so pure back then.

(Not talking about PEDs of course)

 

[KingBeef]

Ahhh, the good old days. I used to love that guy for the vicious ass KO's he was handing out. Still can't believe that damn slip costed him the fight against Frye. He had that one in the bag!!!!

That's a shame. Bc his KOs of Nelmark and Duarte shit all over that toe hold.

 

[Reign009]

Side note: That guy had his arm around Tank the whole time lol.

 

[Boomb]

He was the first mainstream superstar. He had a cameo in Friends when the show was at it's peak. That was quite a big deal at the time.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

@Det_Kimble, you're needed here.

 

[Rygu]

If the guy had more than 2 minutes of cardio at least a few of his loses would have been wins.

Pure Gold.

Duarte came in like 5-0 from fighting in smaller orgs--plus his Luta Livre reputation. He actually did look good in his pre-UFC fights. He was supposed to be the next big thing...a more powerful version of Marco Ruas. If ever a fighter took another fighter's soul, it was Tank in that fight. Duarte fought like a scared child after that.
