Tank Abbott Fans, get in here!

[LilNicky95]

No matter how you look at it, Tank Abbott is an absolute LEGEND.

Tank had it all(except maybe elite cardio) back in the day:

Elite Power
Wrestling
Granite Chin
Aggressive Style
Submission Defense
Bada*s Persona

The man does not get enough credit as a legend but Tank Abbot was literally a killer.


Watching the Greg Hardys and Derrick Lewis’s these days lets you know that HW has not evolved at all and possibly devolved.



Tank is a man to be appreciated by all the NON-sissy fans that are all too uncommon these days.

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Literally a killer? Like, he actually killed someone?

 

[Ancient Warrior]

He was a ruthless, strong guy, with a lot of power.

I don’t know I’d say he “had it all”.

 

[Azure]

Tank was fun to watch

 

[Deleted member 576123]

He had better cardio than people imagine at first glance.

He was made to fight

 

[VAfan]

Literally

one of the most frequently misused words in the English language. literally.

 

[LilNicky95]

Literally a killer? Like, he actually killed someone?

He killed One Matua in front of everybody didn’t he?

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

He's be competitive today (that version of Tank).

 

[ignorant MMA fan]

Tank was my first favorite fighter. I didn't care that he was out of shape and not the traditional martial artist.

 

[TSexy]

True legend!

 

[Chosen]

He killed One Matua in front of everybody didn’t he?

That’s one of my favorite early UFC KOs!!! Literally mutilated him.

Tank was great, and if he'd have always been as in shape as he was vs Hugo Duarte at ufc 17 and didn't take so many ridiculously short notice fights he'd have had a very different career.

 

[Brock Sapp]

Absolute legend, always came to fight(for 3-4 mins).

 

[kingmob6]

Tank was the OG brawler, come out of the pub, get into the ring, do some work, go back to the pub.

Not my intention to dispute anything you've said, but I'm always amazed at how poorly he did against Kimbo. I wonder if he was that far off his prime at that time or if the competition really stepped up that much even in the case of Kimbo.

 

[Viking Power]

Sadly, he probably would be competitive in today’s HW division.

 

[TRYHARD 2001]

I'm not a fan of Tank at all but I'm in here anyways.

For the record, he was strong, his wrestling sucked, his punching power was undeniable, his cardio varied wildly but was generally trash, he was slow, his chin was decent but unremarkable, and his submission grappling was weak. He threw punches like a grizzly throws his paws around. He beat no one of any consequence and his biggest claims to fame and legitimacy is giving Oleg a long fight and Don Frye a tough 45 seconds. He gave us some great-looking KO's against limited fighters but always came up well short when put in there with good fighters, never mind great.

He was fun but in no way, shape, or form did he have it all. Not even close.

 

[CTYankee]

He killed One Matua in front of everybody didn’t he?

No, not literally.

 

[LilNicky95]

That’s one of my favorite early UFC KOs!!! Literally mutilated him.

And no pity afterwards.

These days, fighters are high five-ing each other after landing a punch and hugging each other every 3 mins.

 

[LilNicky95]

No, not literally.

You are literally a goof.

Literally.
