Last year we told you about a borderline legendary rematch of early UFC stars, Tank Abbott vs. Scott Ferrozzo, which was slated to be a no time limit match that would only end if one person died in the cage. It was slated to be a PPV event and the location was in Dayton, Ohio at the Dixie Cowgirls Night Club -- essentially an old-school strip club. At some point in time, the words 'strip club' were replaced with 'someone's backyard' and 'PPV event' was somehow changed to 'filmed on someone's camera and placed on YouTube.' It wasn't what you expected from a fight sold to the MMA world as a 'No Holds Barred' death match -- but it was entertaining nevertheless.

We published the entire video on MiddleEasy after one of our readers (MentaL) ripped the fight on YouTube. Tank Abbott's attorneys contacted us and issued a 'cease and desist' letter insisting that we remove the video or face further legal action. We politely removed it -- and then days later they published the entire fight on YouTube anyway. Yeah, nothing made sense in that scenario. Sort of like this 5150 Fightwear interview with Tank Abbott in which he completely burns the UFC, Dana White, and Tito Ortiz for no apparent reason.

"I kicked everyone's ass" - Everyone? He went 8-10 in his UFC career, with big wins wins against guys like professional wrestler Yoji Anjo, and 3 guys who don't even have Wikipedia pages How drunk/stoned is Tank here?

So where's your wikipedia page?
Because obviously somebody who hasn't got one shouldn't be taken seriously.

He hasn't but he doesn't call himself a professional fighter. Do you see the difference ?

Anyway it amazes me that there are people here agreeing with anything that this drunk, delusional, fat redneck said in this video. You guys are SO retarded.

When a fighter like Tank says he fought everybody, he doesn't mean he talked a big game for months and challenged all UFC fighters for a boring point scoring contest. No, He actually fought everybody right there and then.
Wether it be in a bar or on the beach, if you stepped up to Tank you'd get your ass handed to you: even if you had a bad ass wikipedia page.

Tank is a bad ass, who fought all the bad asses of his time.

And if you don't understand that Wikipedia is a big pile of crap, you are the retard here.

I think he burned his bridges with the UFC when he became unable to fight for more than 45 seconds without gassing out (15+ years ago). That being said if eliteXC was still around they would probably still book him.

This is what sucks about MMA fans. How quickly they forget or lambast without having seen these guys fight during the old days. Tank fought in the first UFC I ever watched, UFC 6. He will always be a bad ass.

For sure there won't be anything about him "kicking everybodys ass" or "exposing those martial artists" in wikipedia.
You live in the past. This guy is a can. He has balls but wouldn't last a minute with any UFC HW even if he was in his prime now. He looks really silly talking shit about todays UFC fighters.

Tank isn't a can. He was one of the first fighters in the UFC... when the UFC was actually about bringing guys from different martial arts backgrounds and seeing which was the best. He is just a brawler, nothing else. He still whooped some ass. Just cuz he can't now doesn't mean he didn't back then.

So, any current fans of the UFC are supporting a joke organization run by clowns? Or so says a former tough man who isn't a true mma fighter? Hence, has no place in today's mma arena.

Always shoots his mouth too much, but nothing but respect for the guy. Took tons of fights on short notice and always made things interesting for the first few minutes of his fights. Was fun as hell to watch his fights.
