Leland Matt he was very important to the growth of this sport. Go back to UFC 40 which is the event which saved the UFC (not TUF because no UFC 40 there is no TUF) and witness the pop when Tank comes back. Now he was used. Smartly so. Brought Tank back to bring old fans back so Mir and the new school could get over much like Gracie vs Hughes at UFC 60 was exactly the same. UFC 1 and 2 drew curiosity but quickly it lost its juice because of Royce’s dominance so enter Tank and his win over Matua and his promos and you had some magic. Was he some great all around fighter? No way but he had hands, power, charisma for days and absolutely is an important figure. A prime Tim Sylvia could cause problems for many top 15 heavyweights currently while Tank probably wouldn’t necessarily be more than Derrick Lewis if even but the intangibles mean more. Tank mattered and just because he isn’t and never could have been on the level of a Stipe Miocic doesn’t diminish what he meant to the sport and how he helped elevate it to where it is today. Sure he’s a dinosaur but he mattered.

Tank was an all american wrestler in college.....plus earned a degree, which means he would never be dumb enough to stand and trade with Tyson. There were a few occasions in the UFC where Tank wanted to take a fight to the ground, and he had no problems doing so. Prime Tank vs prime Tyson in a street fight..........Tyson goes to throw a bomb but ends up on his back with Tank throwing haymakers. Tank wins easy.

Its like a 11 year old wrestling around with his dad.

Tyson been doing this since before I was born and he still hits the bags. People don’t understand that boxers will win 100 percent of the time in a standup.

WaVy Crockett #JizzBoss bro I’m not arguing the mma vs boxer thing. I’ll tell you my experience I’ve done more then well against mma fighters but mainly I think most of the guys that I did full force sparring with didn’t know I have background in wrestling and mauy Thai. Even Bruce Lee said this some of the worlds top Martial Arts experts black belts could be beaten by a guy that’s been training in boxing and wrestling for a year. You can’t argue this though the greats in ufc are always good strikers and have a background in boxing. Khabib he’s known grappling and wrestling but people don’t realize he can box too. He just goes for what he’s knows is going to work. I personally I loved watching mcgregor get dominated after all that shit he talked. Funny watching this video I ran into Andy Dick in Hollywood about five years ago at my friend Kelly’s apartment and he was more then fucked up he fucking glitter on his face i opened the door for him because he was too fucked up to put in the passcode.
