Definitely!! He also has a 600lb bench press.

I remember some of the fights got boring on the ground, so they were trying to keep the fights from going to the floor ( unless it was gracia) unless something was happening.

"I go into the jitsu thing". Damn. Tank done changed

Bro you never would’ve guessed that’s him holy shit 😂

Am I the only one who recognized him? It seems like I am.

This is why I have never started a fight, this guy looks so casual but inside he is a killer.

Always look at men's head size and shoulder or for smaller guys their hips legs and back for explosiveness. Theirs killers all over just you can't tell cause we wear clothes mostly.

Bear in mind folks, Mr. Abbot is 59 years young here. He is a legend no doubt but in his defense very few people, including former athletes and even former professional fighters, save for maybe Iron Mike and Chuck Norris, don’t “look” old by the time they’re 60. And if they’ve suffered any physiological or neurological problems like Tank, the aging process is even more noticeable. But I bet he could still kick my ass..😂😂

What a beast” love watching these old fights

3 count & Tank Abbott was comedy gold in WCW!

Watch this dude as a kid growing up. Seen him as a UFC heel and super dangerous dude. Admired his power at a young age.

I really can’t believe that this is Tank!

Dude went from an AB member to a chemistry teacher!

Legend has it that Tank Abbott and Chuck Norris's mustaches fighting is the inspiration for the Yin Yang symbol, as neither one can win or lose.

I always thought he was a punk. I love Tank Abbott even more now.

Tank talks truth just like we need to hear these days. Hats off.

@TankAbbott one of the best to ever step in a ring!! So glad to see him still doing good.. Would NEVER have recognized him on the street.. But still awesome to see him!

One minute i was watching ufc 1, the next minute i was in the backyard fist fighting with my stepdads friends. Good times.

Mr. Tank Abbott and I believe he earned the "Mr." not because of his age, is one of the very very few true legends that MUST be immortalized, I love this man, he's one of the best of ALL time.

Tank Abbott is an absolute legend. He wasn't acting. He was a brutal warrior. He mentioned fortitude in this clip and fortitude is something that he had tons of. I love how he always seemed a little criminal and watching him mention cops in a bad light repeatedly in this clip. I wouldn't expect him to like police very much considering what a rebel he was. Respect Mr Abbott......Respect.

I ordered UfC PPV back then and remember the only rules were no biting,eye gouging or fish hooking. I like the no time limits because it motivated fighters to get after it. Today too many guys are just looking to score and run the clock out. They should bring back headbutts and twelve to six elbows for main events.

This isn't Tank abbot.. this is my Tax guy!

I've been watching ufc since number one. Tanks fights were always exciting. I remember an eighteen year old vitor bellfort coming in and finishing him in seconds also.

Tank Abbot benched over 600lbs back in his day. Beast

Haven't commented in awhile, still checking in Joe, always good. This guy is a buzz had no idea. Getting over hip surgery got my bike down and aired tires up. Can always get a little inspiration from ur show. Thanks Joe, and Jamie...

To me Tank is by far the most memorable of all of them.

Dam he doesn't even look like the same person. That's crazy
