What did you expect? Tank got his ass handed to him. Kimbo put him face down in 43 seconds. Funny how much hype can go into a fight that only lasts 43 seconds but blame Tank for being a washed up retard. I know he helped create UFC blah blah blah but I never thought Tank was any good anyways compared to the people with technique like Oleg Taktarov, Severn, and Don Frye. People that actually won.
At least maybe now we can lay the Kimbo vs. Tank hype to rest and see him fight someone that actually has a chance of winning. Maybe a Sean Gannon rematch??? Kimbo isn’t a young dude so he needs to make a solid push against some tough heavyweights if he wants to impress people cuz beating up bitches isn’t gonna cut it anymore…
The 42 year old brawler appeared on the late night show with Jimmy Kimmel to speak on how he got his nickname, his history as a mixed martial artist, his partying lifestyle and the upcoming bout with Kimbo on February 16th. This dude seems like he doesn’t give a f*ck about anything.
Looks like this fight is going to happen after all! EliteXC has announced that Kimbo and Tank will headline their February 16th card in Kimbo’s backyard of Miami, FL. Click the pic for the story. After this, time for Kimbo to step it up and throw down with someone who is under 40. Props to Elite for gettin this made though. I know there would be a lot of pissed off fans if these two never stepped in the cage together. Too bad a lot of the hype has died down since the announcement for the original date.
Unfortunately, it looks as though we’re going to have to wait for the long anticipated Kimbo Slice vs. Tank Abbott brawl. Now that Kimbo has signed, EliteXC apparently has different plans for the notorious underground fighter as they’ve scheduled his debut to take place November 10th against Mike Bourke at EliteXC: Renegade on Showtime. This could be better for Kimbo though, since it puts him in a position to train hard and take the game seriously as he’s not going to be fighting washed up sluggers anymore. Edit: He is still fighting washed up sluggers…
The much anticipated matchup between brawlers Kimbo Slice and Tank Abbott set for October 12th has been cancelled due to contract disputes within Cage Fury Fighting Championships organization. Supposedly Palace Fighting Championship president Christian Printup is attempting to keep the fight afloat by transferring the fight to one of their cards. PFC’s next event is scheduled for less than a week after the CFFC event and the fight would likely be added to that card. Props to MMAweekly.com for the updates.
Click the Kimbo Slice image to watch him train boxing for his bout with Tank Abbott on October 12th. Kimbo has upped his training and has gotten a few coaches including Bas Rutten to give him some more versatility in all areas of his game. Kimbo will also be on a new mixed martial arts show called “The Iron Ring” on BET. No word on when it’s going to drop however.
Following his June defeat of former heavyweight champ Ray Mercer, Kimbo called out the well-known UFC brawler Tank Abbott. Sources have said recently that the Tank Abbott vs. Kimbo Slice matchup will likely take place at CFFC 6 in October. Two legendary sluggers will battle it out in a bout that should end quickly. Hardly MMA though…
