|  Tank Abbott vs. Wesley "Cabbage" Correira 2
I just saw ther video of their second fight (the first one ended in a minor cut stoppage) and Tank just nailed the crap out of him with a huge right hand. Correira was laying on the floor for a good 4 or 5 minutes in pain.
Incredible how Tank went from being a complete an utter asshole during the beginning of his career to being a fan favorite toward the end of his career. He mellowed with age.

It has always seemed to me like Tank was a fan favorite. His balls to the wall style brings the crowd.

He still talks trash, but not nearly the level that he use to in the past.

I always liked TANK because he seemed like a normal dude.
No lifting weights, no training, not much ground skills..... Just a BAR FIGHTER !!
He'd come right at ya and start swinging!
He made that big 6'10" kid from Alaska (Polar Bear?) cry like a girl when he hit him. Tank laughed and said (Polar Bear) has never been in a real fight in his life.
