Tank Abbott on Mark Coleman Bar Fight 

One of the most brilliant statements ever. “ I’ve never understood why you have cocktail party with a bunch of fighters.”

Really enjoyed this interview with Tank's jacket.

To any young viewers, this man was an animal in his day

This is one of the toughest men who ever went into the octagon. His punching power was unreal.

"someone cold-cocked me which was no big deal" Tank is the definition of old school toughness.

Being forty-six, it makes me feel ancient seeing Tank looking this way. Tank was such a beast back in the day.

Seeing this guy like this after knowing how deadly he was back in the day is insane. But that’s life

1:15 .. "I never understood why you'd have a cocktail party w/ a bunch of fighters" Tank Abbot

A real life tough guy. He took a beating from Dan Severn for the whole duration...then got up and climbed over the cage and went for a beer. Living legend😁😎👍👍

Damn. I could hardly recognize him. This man’s one of the hardest punchers in the history of the world

What a legend. Forget the jacket. This guy is a living legend. Hope his health improves.

I remember watching tank in early days of ufc. He’s a legend ... he would fight anyone, anytime

Is tanks jacket lined with bubblewrap?

I remember Tank from the tough man competitions. I was 18 when I first saw him. Im 46 now. He is a legend!

Thank you Mr. Abbot .....you deserved so much more than you received....much love mate

This video was taken not too long Tank had a liver transplant and during the surgery he had 6 strokes and his heart stopped 5 times, spent 105 days in ICU, this happened earlier in 2018 and this video is in Dec. 2018, so that is the reason he might seem a little out of sorts and maybe tired looking.

Tank has a mouse in his jacket eating a bag of Lays sour cream and onion chips this whole interview.

After watching this, I feel so bad for him and Don Frye and others from the the old school days. That fighting really took a toll on their bodies/brains . Tank was my favorite.....always.

Came for the video, stayed for the jacket comments. 😂

One bad man. I can’t explain how much I loved watching Tank fight and listening to what he had to say back in the day. I’ll never forget when he hit Don Frye with a jab that sent him flying 30 feet.

Hands down ge was the most dangerous man during the Birth of the UFC. What a mighty force he was.

I remember Tank when he was a young fighter and now I’m rocking the greys as well 😆 time flies when you are having lock downs 🍺

Father time, the undisputed all time champ.

Thats what real 100% leather sounds like!!!So obviously you have never owned one!😎

I think this is the closest I've ever heard to Tank actually saying something positive about another fighter. Or another human for that matter.

Tank Abbott, he may not have been the best ufc fighter but he always went into a fight ready to kick some ass and he usually did! What a legend, pure toughness and always entertaining to watch!

Tank was actually a very cerebral and intelligent guy. One of the most unique fighters to ever step into the octagon.

I'm not willing to believe that this is how Tank Abbott looks like now.

Tank, Coleman, Frye them dudes were just Absolute gems to watch, you knew you were going to see some good punches thrown!!! That kick Coleman took square in the face is the thing of legends. Tanks roll through you approach seemed to win him some fights against some VERY good fighters. These guys are gems, yes, they're getting old, we all are, but, the fights these dudes were in, will NEVER die

He was actually much more coherent than I expected. Nothing but respect for the man, he dealt out some serious damage in his day, but he also took a lot too

I still replay his fights. He was an awesome fighter at that time.

Cocktail party full of fighters ? Yikes. 🤯🤯🤯

It was said that the tank could deliver pain quicker than any UFC fighter at that time. I’ve seen him fight. I believe it!!!

these guys were all high school/college wrestlers back in the day.

Alot old school bikers from Orange county i use to know told amazing Bar fight stories with tank and how he was crushing people these stories were before his ufc debut @ ufc 6

His dad was my history teacher and tank went to HS with my brother. His dad was even meaner.

i like these tank videos please keep them coming merry christmas tank i hope you feel better!

It was always a thrill to see Tank in downtown Huntington Beach. I say that with all due sarcasm.

A legend! Loved watching him fight in the beginning days. One could count on a wild couple rounds when Tank entered the party.

I remember I bought the Ppv when I was like ten 😂. We used to order them and tape them on VHS. He fought a sumo looking guy who was 450 pounds and a practitioner in “the ancient Hawaiian art of bone breaking”. Me and my cousin thought that sounded as tough as could be and that the guy was going to kill Tank. Tank punched him until he was lying on his back stiff, with his arms and legs sticking straight out into the air like rigor mortis, and then did a gesture to mock the guys misfortune. We were shocked. The announcer said “Tank you took 450 pounds down like a buzz saw”, and Tank replied simply, “yeah, well, that’s what I am.”

"Apparently there was a bar fight ..." Tank searches his internal hard drive, comes up with hundreds of results. "With Mark Coleman." Ah, that one ...

Remarkable interview, what he was talking about I’ll never know but thanks for that.

Tank, Thank YOu for the Performances, Excellent Fights, Rock On

He was great for the first 2 minutes of a fight, if it went longer than that he was in trouble. LOVE the early days of the UFC!

"I don't understand why you have a cocktail party with a bunch of a fighters"? Tank

respetos para el tanke abbot!!! respect from chile!

Great interview by the jacket, I also liked what tank said 😂

I still remember that fight he KOd someone dropped and then folded backwards... Tank is a beast in his heydays

A Beast Legend. Always true to himself. Miss you Tank. Wish you had a podcast

Tank! A serious opponent for any that faced him!!

It absolutely sucks getting old !!!!!!!, having a hard time dealing with it !💔🙏💀

I’m sorry to see a legend this way. Respect!!

Can we get some more jacket mics next time please?

Always loved tank, I’m 55 now and watched since the beginning

The noise from Tank's jacket can knock a man out.

I'll stop.and listen to anything Tank has to say. It's always the truth

Wow, has it been that long since I've seen Tank Abbot cause he sure has aged a lot. Maybe its just me remembering his old fighter days that dont seem that long ago.

Thank you for your fights brother!

I described Tank Abbott, in one word. GREAT 👍

These Tank videos are getting better now.

I loved how tough the Tank was in the ring BUT this was tough to watch

This is an absolute beast of a man. Thanks for great times Tank

Tank the original ufc street/bar fight champion.Good times. All the best bud

Great fighter in his day just watched him fight yesterday to funny

I have a feeling Tank said "oh really, who?" a lot.

this guy was my favorite fighter in the early days of the ufc.

Wow! nice to see him calm. this was hands down on of the scariest fighters of the 90s😁

Please tell the jacket to keep it down

Incase you are wondering, Tank has twelve TVs in his living room. He watches them all at the same time

One of the great tough guys. Amazing jacket.

Holy shit time flies Remember him in the octagon and now he sounds like a grandpa talking about the good old times

"Can't you hear it? Tank is stealing the chips."

Dude seems hella chill now! He was a beast back in the day!

This is the third interview of the older guys and they are very calm as they sit and talk

This makes me feel old

Just once I'd like to see a video of Tank helping an old lady cross the street.

Awesome to see how calm and cool he is now. He was a straight killer.

Hey! Hannibal! Let know Tank Abbot that he looks great at this stage! Kudos! Tank! I was and I am your number ONE fan!

legends like tank and Don, seeing them in their prime and what they accomplished,and how tough they were, now you see them as older men. we are all going to be in that exact same position someday, that’s why we must show these old warriors respect.

Did Tank Abbott ever say that Dan Severn look like Freddy Mercury.

He's ill with some something he looked 15yrs younger 3yrs ago

Hard to believe this is Tank Abbott... 😮

Will ya be uploading the full interview soon? Tank doesn’t do many of them

Could the story be more vague..huh?"and it got stopped and they were talking about banning it"Who stopped all these mma guys?Who talked about banning it?Who won the fight??

Is that really Tank lol he is 5 years younger then me wow.

Respect to Tank, he was a legit tough guy, better wrestler than people gave credit, with serious punching power. Tells the truth as he saw it, no BS.

I remember these dudes when they were younger fighting in the ufc when it first started, when it was the best. Sad to see these fellas get old :/

I still can't believe all the flack he received for his comments on Rousey

Just the sound of his voice, can tell Tank might be in some pain or ill health. Hope all is well.

Tank Abbot, the only guy to try and throw someone over the cage into the crowd at a UFC event.

Hope tanks alright, he doesn't look well, i know that we all get older and it's been more than a minute since he has fought , but nobody ages that bad unless there is something wrong, again i pray that he is okay, and I appreciate all the times he has fought and gave us all a great entertainment 👊👊👊👍

Tank is the type of guy you would love to have a beer with in a bar and listen to his wisdom

i met tank at ufc7 in buffalo bought him a beer guy was awesome

Tank Abbot legend, man should be in UFC Hall of Fame.

Wow I didn’t recognize him but his eyes is the same. Wow that’s a loud jacket. Love him.

Boy Tank aged well, must be the healthy lifestyle.

Tanks lost a bunch of weight,I hope you,re ok dude.

Bar fighter turned octahgon fighter. Just a tough dude. Fun to watch in esrly ufc days

It's crazy normal how he's aged but it's amazing how his mannerisms style is exactly the same as a young tank.

The thumbnail makes it look like Tank is rubbing one out.
