Is Tank Abbott the best pure striker in UFC history?

[AldoStillGoat]

I feel like op is trolling because of my Jon Jones chin thread...

Tank on recent Jaxxon episode. Good stories.

Yeah I think pulling a knife on Big Al and audibly yelling into the Camera "I could fucking Kill you right now" was enough for a sinking WCW to know he had to go.

The writer actually wanted to make him the world champion. Imagine that.

Thread title says it all. I think Tank runs through any modern Heavyweight with relative ease.

Never go full retard

Imo, no one has had the pure mentality of a fighter like Tank. He wasn't there to point fight or hug anyone, he showed up to swing hammers, kill or be killed. He was the first fighter I ever got hyped to see, and I will always respect him for always showing up for blood.

But not even close to the best pure striker. Not even at HW.

I never realized what a scumbag he was until I saw his interview on jre

The original Huntington Beach bad boy.

Tank lost to Kimbo Slice!

Yeah, but Tank was confused who to swang on because DaDa5000 was cornering Kimbo and Tank thought he was seeing double.

In an era of world champions such as Vince Russo and David Arquette, Tank would have been par for the course.

Tank admits he had very little skill. He was all grit, power and aggression. He only really trained wrestling and that was in college.

I’m not watching an entire podcast.

1. What did he say that made you say that?

2. Wasn’t him being a scumbag always part of his persona?

 

[Trabaho]

What does that make Vitor ?

 

[tat2man5k]

Don't worry, there are plenty of tards out there living really kickass lives.

My first wife was tarded. She's a pilot now!

Don't worry scroat!

 

[supermurph]

Power puncher. Hell yeah. Pure striker.... His best shot would be five 2 minute rounds with 3 minute breaks and no leg kicks.

Fuck yeah he is!

 

[SuspectChin]

100%

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Second only to Harold Howard.

 

[Ibm]

Tank would knock out any human if he lands but his style is equivalent to a drunk guy at a BBQ.

 

[IIIIIIII]

Sure is.

i didn't realize it was fast-forwarded at first, and the first thing i thought was, "damn, i forgot how quick kimbo's hands were" haha.

Whatever drugs you're taking, stop now.
They're clear affecting your brain already.
