. | Umm...Tank actually did have skills and wasn't just a brawler. From his wiki entry:
Trained in boxing for 13 years by Jesse Reid and Tyrone Bennett
Was a Junior All American wrestler at 18
Has a history degree
Now...I am not saying that wiki is always right...but you would think someone would have corrected this by now if it was incorrect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_Abbott | |

He still talks trash, but not nearly the level that he use to in the past. | He was voted most popular fighter of all time at UFC 45 by the viewers choice awards.The fans have always loved him.He always gets a pretty big ovation from the fans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimat...g_Championship

Actually, they have fought twice already. The first time at UFC 45, and the
2'nd time at ROTR 7. They split them 1-1, Cabbage on a cut then Tank on a punch.

After the Blood Fountain (I am trademarketing that phrase) we saw 2 weeks ago on TUF4, Tank's cut looked like a papercut. I think this was at the time they were just starting to get certified by the state athletic commissions, so they were really careful not to have a total bloodbath.
