He flipped them off at the end because his cabbage patch dance provoked the Tank team to go nuts. So he flipped them off and shit hit the fan.

you know what's ridiculous about that? tank was one of the biggest taunters when he won, mocking the guys after koing them. the dance was just a dance, some guys do flips, some guys pose, and some like cabbage dance, it's not disrespectful just a celebration not directed at anyone so there's no reason to get all worked up over that especially when you were disrespectful for so long. kind of like tito, if someone did it to him he shouldn't get upset either.

Here's a vid of Tank KO'ing Cabbage I found while trying to find video of the flipoff. :grinsmile26:

yea i remember seeing that, they need to do it one more time to break the tie.

Watching that fight reminded me of one of the funniest things in combat sport.

When the commentator says something like "I don't think Tank can knock out Cabbage" just as Tank lands a knock out punch to Cabbage!

It's one of those things that tickles me.

If I remember correctly, tank had the better of the match but then got stopped for a cut whilst chomping at the bit to continue.

In that situation, cabbage's 'dancing' was a touch much imo - and tank's reaction didn't make him a hypocrite, just a red-blooded fighter.

no you don't remember correctly...lol tank was getting his ass beat with punches and knees, lots of them. he had nothing left and was gassed, he would've been ko'd shortly after even if the fight had continued, he got handled in that first fight. and i think doing something to others and then having it done to you (even though cabbage wasn't wrong for dancing) is pretty much the definition of a hypocrite, no? lol

Ah well, I can't find a similey with a shoe in it's mouth lol I must go find a vid of that somewhere.

If Tank got beat up fair and square then yeah, I'd have to say Cabbage was entitled to 'dance', and Tank's reaction made him a hypocrite.

where's that topic gone anyways? lol

tank got his shots in the first fight but he got an ass whooping in return.

Yeah what about Tank, I think it was UFC 2 maybe, when he knocked out the big Hawaiin, and he was convulsing a little bit, and Tank kinda stood over him and did the mock convulsions......complete disrespect IMO...
