Tank is going to get submitted in the first after exhausting himself trying to get up off the ground.
 
Is the Tank/Severn fight going to be an actual pro MMA fight, or is it an exhibition show for the fans like the rest of the fights on the card?
 
Severn vs. Tank is more competitive than Ken vs. Dan at least.

$12 is a good price too.

I think it will be an exhibition like you said. Tank did something like this a couple years ago with Kimo. They "fought" using enormous, oversized gloves and headgear.

That's exactly what I was thinking it would be.
 
Why did Ken get pulled? Did they pay him part of his purse in advance or something?

Holy crap! Tank's shoes
 
As soon as I saw the card, I said there's a good chance both Shamrock and Bisping would be injured and unable to compete. Both had MMA fights just 1 month beforehand. Not sure why those two were signed. I believe Bisping has a 6-month medical suspension. Will they still let him do a grappling only match?

How do you figure that? I know Ken has a long-term losing streak, but Severn would be his first older opponent in a long time. Dan is 57 and hasn't fought in 4 years. Tank's losing streak is about as bad as Ken's, and years of hard drinking haven't done him any favors. It's anyone's guess what happens if any of these three fight...assuming it's a legit fight. I still have serious doubts about how real Shamrock-Kimbo was.

Severn and Tank have a size advantage over Ken, but Shamrock is probably better conditioned (he's trained for 2 fights in the last 6 months). He's also more mobile...he actually moved around pretty well when he took down Kimbo.

I have a feeling Severn-Tank will look like a way slower version of their fight...or maybe Tank vs Ferrazo 2. Wow, that gives it the potential of being one of the worst fights ever...

Ok, I spent more than enough space analyzing the 50+ year old MMA division.
 
OMG all I can say is Roy Jones Jr. is going to murder a fan.
 
Holy crap! Tank's shoes
Those are some type of expensive shoe that Tank is always mentioning in interviews. He wears them all the time. If you look at the video of him approaching Kimbo in the Strikeforce cage to hype their upcoming fight, he had them on there as well.
 
Anyone know why Ken pulled out ?
I read that the athletic commission would not let him fight, because he is on a short mandatory break, that is not up yet, after losing to Kimbo.
 
How on earth did they get enough money for Roy Jones Jr. Is this some other RJJ?
 
what the fuck

Fresh off his decision victory over Scott Ferrozzo at ProElite: Birmingham, Tank Abbott was at it again last night, this time taking on fellow UFC pioneer Kimo Leopold in a match that made the ill-fated special rules bout between Ken Shamrock and James Toney seem like a walk in the park. Fortunately taking place inside an actual building this time — the Avalon in Hollywood, California — the bout featured three, one minute rounds, in which the competitors wore both headgear and some cartoon sized boxing gloves.

But where Tank’s backyard brawl at least had the decency to determine a winner, no such clarity could be provided with last evening’s brawl. Those that were able to stay awake for the “fight”‘s entirety were given no closure as to who won, and likely walked back to their tricked out El Camino’s soaked in Natty Ice and disappointment. But considering that these are the kind of people who willingly paid to see the likes of Coolio, Octomom, Joey Buttafuoco, Tila Tequila, and Jose fucking Canseco square off, all whilst Ron Jeremy strutted his stuff as a ring girl, mind you, it’s hard to imagine that their hopes were ever that high to begin with. Or their IQ’s, for that matter.

As soon as we find video evidence that this blasphemy actually occurred we will be sure to let you know, because this is the kind of hard hitting story that keeps the Potato Nation strong.
