Tank Abbott Appologizes to Dana White 

Rampage jackson is a legend. We should appreciate that he's doing these podcasts. Nothing but love!!

It’s amazing how powerful this guy was at one time. He benched 600 and did freaking upright rows with 315. Insane!!! Also amazing how time changes people, both mentally and physically.

So glad he’s healthy and has found some peace. His wife sounds like an angel…

Tank is how us middle aged fellas found out about UFC. He belongs in the HoF

Tank ain't bullshittin'...my mom had issues with her liver and the ammonia build-up made her INSANE.

Man looking at Tank now makes me feel old. 40 now and used to watch this guys fights in my 20’s and back then they were old. To those reading this age with grace and respect the elderly, some of them were badass and could share incredible stories

It’s hyperammonemia. Caused by poor liver function. Caused by alcoholism damaging the liver.

I had back surgery and was in the hospital a couple days, and they had me maxed out on IV pain med. My family left me with a fully charged cellphone… smh… I called EVERYONE in that phone. My friends, my ex, old and current employers, even the Pastor of my church (smh)…….Soooo ye I feel you Tank !! Glad to see him doing well!

Get tank into the hall of fame ❤

I had to quit drinking at 22 for this reason

If he can change for the better than ANYONE can change, hats off to him for living a better life

HOF ceremony during UFC 305

I love Jackson,man.. he’s been one of the best men you’ll ever meet,for a long time. Way before when it wasn’t “cool” and in style..Rampage was always real as they come but a GOOD version of a man. And a big shout-out to Tank..we’ve never met but like millions of others,we know you bro 🤙🏼😉 And God bless the Tank

Awesome. He was on Rogan too and I'm about 60% into the interview so I don't know if he touched on any of this but he surely touched on the history of the No Holds Barred days prior to UFC and the early days of The UFC. I love what he said about jiu jitsu "Hey we went around to a bunch of places trying to find out WTH about all this. I wrestled, my guys were solid wrestlers so we're like WTH. So we show up to one place and my guys get smoked. Then they get to me and one guy who's like a black belt, one of the better first gen Gracie's took my arm for an armbar and I looked at him like if you're seriously trying to rip my arm off I'm going to seriously slam you on your head and then punch you once this arm is loose because I will get it loose". Then the guy let it go. lol. But Tank also went on to say "See I'm a fighter and to me all is on the table. There's a difference between being skilled and truly being a fighter who doesn't give a shit. I never gave a shit. Royce Gracie for example is skilled but also doesn't quit. But is he a figthter? I say yes based on his skill, but guys like me back then? Laughed at all that shit and didnt' care either way we just wanted to fight."

You can tell he actually means is apologize. Hopefully Dana see this.

Tank abbot looks like a very convincing commissioner gordon

I liked Tank when he put the cab driver to sleep & stiffed him. Lol “thanks for the lift!”

I like tank so much. Dude was an absolute stud back in the day, but he’s such an interesting personality. Crazy combo of physical gifts, mental toughness, and thoughtfulness. He’s fascinating.

Lookin and sounding good Tank

ahah damn tank became a sweet regular ass old guy who would have thought!

With 100 guesses I don't think I would have thought of Tank

You're not alone Tank, i know what it's like to blk. Out and not rem. And people telling you the crazy things i had done. Proud of you sir, takes a real man to apologize like you did, God speed !!!

I used to say the one person I would not want to fight in the UFC was Tank Abbott. The sheer brutality of his power was freaky.

Tank is an HB legend, We use to drink at el ramchito on Main Street!! Always a cool cat with me !!! And at lugattis…. Tank and his Laptop that didn’t work was always funny!!! 🤙🏽…. Looking good dood !!!

Tank was a real deal brawler. Straight up badass.

Serum ammonia elevations cause all sorts of bad things, starting with profound confusion, and all the bad behaviors that can go with it. Not a good deal.

He's lucky he never got shot.

Tank: "I'm not just a drunk asshole, i'm also totally crazy"

Finally... I've been telling people for 30 years, I actually met, and partied with, Tank...at a strip club (when I was 21). *ONE OF THE MOST POLITE, HUMBLE, AND FUN PEOPLE I'VE EVER MET.* He was with the same bald biker (black leather jacket) dude that always would walk out with Tank. The entire time, Tank kept smiling, sharing stories, and insisting that his friend, the biker dude, could/would kick Tank's ass...that he was even more of a Bad Ass. The friend didn't dismiss it either. He just had a look on his face like "Yup, I could". I didn't sense a whiff of rudeness from Tank. More than a couple random dudes tried to mess with Tank. He kept just laughing it off. I'm telling you, Tank might've had his moments, but the dude I met, such a cool dude. BTW...He was in town (Salt Lake City) training a bit of Jiu-Jitsu. **ahem** I don't think he stayed in town, drilling his Jits, very long 🫢😆 Seriously though...Tank: VERY COOL GUY 🤙

When my kidneys failed i had ammonia on my breath in my brain. I was confused not myself. When i started dialysis it made me spacey. Like i was loosing grip or dying. Once it started working my brain came back and the ammonia went away. Still on dialysis. Still here.

The ammonia on the brain/in the body thing is very real & makes you something wholly different!!

Tank is the real deal. Always loved watching him fight.

Love to hear tank now this a man that made a turn around with the way he thinks . Joe Rogan need to put him on

This guy looks like he could be a school teacher now. Amazing how much appearances can change.

this is what i love to see. gg rampage, never forgeting, the original legends

I can't explain it, but I knew that even though he used to act awful on camera, that deep down, there was a decent person in there somewhere. It was always in his eyes. Don't get me wrong, dude was a fighter, and fighters are built different. I just could tell he was smarter than people give him credit for, and there was more to him than meets the eye.

"It was no me!". Maybe when you are able to take "Full Responsibility" , you can apologize again.

That's really tough. I know that causes confusion and memory lapse.

That’s Tank? He looks totally different. Does he still want to fight Joe Rogan?😂

Tank would be a scary guy drunk and out of control he is extremely strong I remember watching him bench press 600lbs

I have a buddy that calls everybody when he's trashed to tell us how much he loves us! 😂

Man was entertaining, nice to see tank reflecting on his past behaviour. Some people do change for the better.

I watched the UFC since 1993, All the guys would get together and have a big party to watch the UFC, I remember when Tank brutally Ko'd , that huge Samoan we were instantly all a fan of him. He deserves to go into the UFC Hall of Fame.

True story… I met Tank in Las Vegas back in 2001….we were drinking at a casino bar, he was cool as long as I was buying drinks but I ran out of cash and he flipped out. He threw a empty shot glass at me and it hit my girlfriend in the mouth chipping her teeth. I got so pissed, I front kicked him, he was so drunk he fell backwards out of his chair. He struggled to get up and I probably shouldn’t of done it but I kicked him in the face and knocked him out cold. Suddenly I got slammed by some huge security guard. They dragged me into the back office and they called the cops. when the cops got there they asked Tank if he wanted to press charges, because they say, when I kicked Tank while he was down, it was no longer self defense. Tank was a man he said “no let him go, I’ll see him on the street.” The next morning I checked out early, drove straight to the airport and caught a flight back to Chicago. I saw Tank 11 years later at UFC 256 and he didn’t remember any part of the incident. So yeah he had a bad drinking problem! One thing I’ll say he must of drank 15 shots of whisky during that night in Vegas, that boy can drink!. I was afraid to ask him, but that night in Vegas he told a few people when he was in 4th grad his teacher Mr. Simpson molested him, when Tank was 17 he beat that teacher up but the teacher also refused to press charges, probably because Tank’s Dad found out what the teacher did and Tanks Dad was a huge Monster!

I can relate with the burden Mr.Abbot carries. My nickname in basic training said it all. It is what it is. Looking back on myself as a young man is sometimes difficult. Many disagreements with people and I went full bore tyrant. The thing about it is that I have zero recollection of the mean, nasty things people have said to me. I can only recollect the mean, nasty things I’ve said to others and it casts inner shame. I do my best to leave my childish ways and thoughts of the past in the past, but every so often I get faced with it. In spit of my mean spiritedness in the past I have managed to keep many old friends. What makes them friends is their willingness to hold me accountable to straight up ordinary citizenship, not their own agenda or ideas. Just common decency. Good conduct and humility isn’t a big ask. If I would have cooperated just a slight bit more when I was younger I wouldn’t have near as many regrets. Not to say my thoughts are dominated by regrets. I’ve got many proud learning moments that I can remember too. We’ve all been just as much of a big help to someone beyond the levels of our imaginations. We’ve all helped, we’ve all hurt. Nobody is perfect. I respect those that don’t hide and do not ignore their transgressions. It’s my belief that the future does not belong to the people that are free of regret and mistakes. Rather it’s owned by the minds that own their past decisions and mistakes and learn from them. The ones that share their transgressions so that others may learn from them. While we all can’t go on with one past regret after another. We will all do good not to forget that none are perfect.

It's not true that when your drunk you show who you really are,maybe in some cases,I used to have blackouts all the time when drinking hard liquor,I mean I would not remember the last couple of hours but I would be awake,and people would tell me the next day all the vile things I said to people and crazy things I did,but when I was sober I was nothing like that

wow he looks totally different now.... hes really clean cut now

He looks so much different than his fighting days. He still seems super lucid and with it considering the punishment he took.

I can't even recognize him wow

Tank is really only 59 but looks and sounds alot older. These dudes didnt take care of themselves at all when they were younger. It catches up to you

People always have a reason for why it wasn’t them

He doesn't need to apologize to dana...

Wait. That can't be Tank Abbott 😳😳 what the hell.

Tank called Dana and told him he wanted to oil him up!

Maybe my own karma will catch me one day but watching this series of this dude is nothing short of realizing karma has caught up with this dude/asshole. Time has a way of dealing with us all

We love you Tank. You went through hell and it's good to see you on this side now

you are a good dude Rampage!

Legends! Loved this.

Jackson has put on that weight.

Everyone deserves a second chance.

When is Dana coming on?

He’s a good dude

Legend

Wow, didnt recognize him in the thumbnail Took one minute in the video Woah

Wow that’s tank Abbott he looks total different

Respect!

Tank for the HOF in 2024

Roids and alcohol made tank a shell of his former self. Kinda sad.

PSYCH! Tank's going to call up Dana & call him a F**!

This guy used to bench 600ibs

Ego....dirt b&g......Then your health scare ....shook your foundation to the core.

Respect tank

Its called a DEMON in your body rebuke and cast out that vile DEMON in the name of JESUS CHRIST and by the BLOOD!

Imagine some punks thinking this guy is a pushover. Tank was crazy, sounds like that might actually be true. He’s a legend tho.

Is that Tank Abbot? 🫨

Was this sponsored by Jaxxon?

legendary

Wtf is that Tank Abbott? What happened?

You also just said alot of things, without saying anything

Ok so what he's saying is this guy's if u don't follow.....his liver is shot.....so if your liver is not working the toxins that goes through your liver doesn't get filtration it goes to your brain.....so imagine toxins in your brain and he's not drunk so it's not him.per say it's the toxicity infiltrating your brain and you can only imagine what you do say or act out....people will think your crazy but in reality your brain is being attacked with toxins. It's very common with alcoholics whos liver don't work.

Tankless

This dude threw up a 600lb bench press like nothing. Stupid strong

Legend on a legends podcast 👍💥💣💥👍
