Ce combattant américain, pas comme les autres, est associé aux combats sans règles. C'est alors qu'ont été organisés les tournois UFC, à partir desquels le puncheur David Lee Abbott, mieux connu sous le nom de « Tank » Abbott, a commencé sa carrière dans les arts martiaux mixtes. Il a décrit son style comme un combat de rue, courant dans les bars et dans les rues. Abbott n'a pas le meilleur bilan de l'UFC – 8 victoires, 10 défaites. Mais c’est une véritable légende de la promotion, l’homme qui a fait regarder des « combats sans règles » dans les années 90. « Tank » Abbott a non seulement combattu de manière spectaculaire, mais a également dit ce qu'il pensait. Il a parlé grossièrement. Et cela a attiré les fans et les organisateurs de tournois. Souvenons-nous de ses combats spectaculaires à l'UFC et profitons de ses puissants KO. #mma #tankabbott #knockout
Too bad his 200+ street fights were pre-cell phone and YouTube era. Would love to see those!
great fighter!
Tank Abbott was great against skilless zilches.
Como deben doler y destrozar esos puños , tank en su PRIME, era ATERRADOR
What in the Chinese AI is this narrator?
I believe he was described as a pit fighter.
Gas tank was his biggest problem.
Of course the Gracies didn't want wrestlers in the tournament, they would have been exposed.
Getting punched by someone with a 600 lb benchpress would probably kill me
fuckin str8 brute
Tank has always been my favorite.
Looked the most natural vs the steroid guys
Admirable strength & abilities but lacking honor.
I prefer honest people over ass kissers
Too many dog acts for me to respect tank
Tank Abbott is from Tulsa Oklahoma and he used to knock out people on the Oklahoma strip, 61st through 41st. Fistfights where very common (it's Oklahoma y'all) there, my little family made a kinda name for ourselfs down here in the streets and toughman competitions(Don't fuck with them Wright boys) But there was one man my older brothers knew not to mess with straightforwardly, and that was 'Tank' Abbott, better come with a baseball bat, that's all I'm saying.
Dude would have been 0-18 in today’s UFC.
This dude is a POS. Making fun of the dudes convulsions? What slime. I couldn't beat him in a brawl, but i sure could hide in a bush with a knife.
Cement + aggregate + water = concrete
Glad he got humbled by Dan
I loved watching Tank Abbot fight.
The power, tenacity and the don't give a f@ck attitude will forever be legendary.
Gracie family was right in a way he was not a MMA fighter and street fighting could only go so far. He was entertaining at best he was basically the first Kimbo Slice if his generation,
Tank was one of the UFC’s first superstar fighters. His fights were must see.
Looks like he trained at Burger King.
Obviously he lost to Russian fighter Russia is the best
I remember that one time he beat Pete Becker in like 10 seconds
That’s when ufc was actually worth watching; when there weren’t any rules in the 90’s. Now, it’s just like 1 big reality show
Bang bang niner gang
Tank was great when he hit you you stayed hit . Liked that fight between him and Don frye
Better than Greg Abbott
It is called the ring. Not a NET!!
Enough with the talking
Tank Abbott is also a highly intelligent man with a somewhat twisted sense of humor.
He may not have been the best, but he was the best to watch
would have loved to see butter bean vs tank in a boxing match. shit would have went hard
Shoes always makes a difference tho both should be wearing shoes or both shouldn't can't really fully judge a fight when it's mixed match like that
Reason why Tank wore gloves? Not to protect your face, was to protect his hands, because he hit hard.
Abbott sucks sorry fans of him,PS garbage 🗑️
When tank was fighting you never knew what was gonna happen.
Tank was the selling point for me in the 90s.
Before Dana screwed things up, UFC had real competition, and fighters like him in accordance…
Say what you want he was a giant slayer ❤
