The more I learn about Tank, the more I realize he’s a lot smarter and complex than most of the original fans of the UFC (as I am) thought him to be. Always a fan.

I can't believe Tank is like this now. So cool to see. He's the man that was on the VHS at my buddy's house. The Legend indeed.

Great to see tank looking healthy again! Respect all the way from the UK tank 👍🏻

It's cool seeing Tank lounging back taking it easy. He paid his dues and then some, when he said he was a warrior. That's not an understatement Tank is the original Tough Man. Mid to late 90's everyone that watched combat sports knew the name Tank Abbott he was huge.

Hasnt been the same since this era. Miss all these guys. Legend

Tank actually looks a lot better this year than he did last year, glad to see him looking healthy again after everything he has been through.

Tank reminds me of my high school wrestling coach. A bad dude that was hard on us but it really shaped us into better men

it's refreshing to see someone say what they really think about certain people and general shit. Most just talk in circles and codes, but this bloke reminds me of the older tough fellas I knew down at the dockyard pubs in the 70s. no nonsense, no BS and straight up

Awesome to see him still kicking, relaxing, and enjoying life at his place. Too many personalities from both UFC and the wrestling world that havent had that chance. Great interview Hannibal.

This guy was a certified badman back in the day. UFC legend! Great to see Tank doing well

Abbott was the scariest guy back in the beginning of the UFC....brawler with power...

True warrior, the real deal, walks the talk. And articulate.

Tank. I remember you from the first days of martial arts. You were a great fighter of the old school. I am 74 now and still enjoy watching you on You Tube as a young fighter. I knew many HBPD officers from that era and they all knew who you were, in a good way. Glad you are enjoying life in Arizona. Good luck to you.

Tank Abbot, the scariest bad boy in the early days of UFC! A genuine fighter, not a pathetic showman like many MMA fighters today!

Great interview! Thank you HANNIBAL! 👍

Tank is well-spoken and articulate, something one would not think when he was fighting back in the 90s. Glad his brain has not turned to mush.

Holy shit. Can’t believe how much time has gone by. Awesome upload.

I have been watching all the old classic UFC events. What a great sport and what a legend Tank is.

I wish Tank a full recovery!

ATTA BOY TANK!! Thanks for all the great fights, and BADASS moments! Appreciate ya sir!!

The Moz and Tank thumbnail is epic.

So glad this man is living on! Inspired! Thanks Tank for everything.

I knew Tank had good taste!

Tank was a savage when he first came into the UFC. Loved the guy. Good interview thank you

Tank is a much smarter and more well spoken guy than I think anyone would have guessed back in his ufc days ! He seems like a cool guy to hang out and listen to stories from

When he talked about jumping out of cars and fighting, he took me back to my teen age years. In the late 70s and 80s, I recall getting in many street fights by just getting “stared at” by dudes in other cars. Something about getting stared at back then was a challenge to fight. Even at the midnight movies once, me and a friend jumped into the car windows of a car that shit water guns at the crowd. I’m not sure if I’m a warrior, but I sure tried to act like one. I really loved to fight back then.

Is Tank a warrior at heart? He never mentions it in the video

I'm so glad you do these interviews. I miss seeing Tank Abbott fight, but we least we still get to see him talk 😂

He really should be in the hall of fame! He’s definitely got the first one punch ko! To this day it’s still the most vicious too!

I’m glad to see you doin we’ll Tank. God has to have plans for you my friend for you to be recovering and doing great. Big fan and happy for ya.

This was awesome. Thank you.

Just read this guys book. What a poet! A true Edgar Allan Poe of MMA. Beautifully written with only a hint of homoerotica. His little bi dog Adolf is the cutest! What an incredible read buy it now!

Tank Abbott's such a badass he even resembles Master Roshi nowdays

TANK IS BACK IN THIS INTERVIEW! LOVE THE FIRE

Tank Abbot is the definition to strong spirit!!! One of my most favorite fighters of all time!

I can't get the image out of my head of Tank fighting Luger in 2021😂

Oleg’s interview after the Macias fight is the most priceless thing ever

I'm just trying to picture Tank driving Tito around town while Tito is rummaging through his glove compartment and other nooks and crannies of his truck. 😂

Great Interview!

He likes The Smiths wow was not expecting that 👍

This guy, Don Frye, and Ken Shamrock were my heroes in high school.

After googling warrior, i found it theres only a big framed picture of Tank Abott, wow.

Tank was my favorite in the early days. I loved his look and attitude and his barroom brawl fighting style. Hearing him talk shit on all these fighters is awesome. Tank was never the best but he was the most exciting for a short time. I wish him well in everything he does. Edit: 1:12:08 God this part is heartbreaking.

This guy was my childhood hero. Hands down my favorite fighter from early UFC. Much love and respect Tank.

Awesome interview. I enjoyed it! Tank is a remarkable character. One tough SOB. Old school. I wish we learned more about his buddy from Vietnam, you could tell he was a big part of Tanks life especially the warrior mentality.

Tank Abbot is a Smiths fan lol didn't see that one coming

I want to see Tank dance around while listening to The Smiths!

This is great 👍

Great interview

Good to see Tank doing well. Legend.

By the way, the video in the background is the song "Tomorrow " from the Album Your Arsenal

I met Tank at a convention and he is one of the nicest guys. Very approachable friendly and even got a pic with him. Nice to see he's doing well. Big fan.

Yooo im enjoying this interview! Always a fan of Tank and hearing him talk now, I'm a bigger fan. Thanks Tank! Your a true warrior!

Tank's book Bar Brawler is great. I'm reading it right now and really enjoying it. There's a fight nearly every chapter and it's not often I find myself laughing out loud at the events that are unfolding, as I'm reading a book. He was a rough dude and one of the last people you wanted to get into a fight with at a bar or on the street. The only chance you'd have is to be very strong and tough yourself and to understand you had to fight and/or wrestle as hard as you could from the get-go or you'd be overwhelmed. The fight with John Mantua is a perfect example of what you'd face fighting a young Tank Abbott who was bench pressing 600 lbs back then. He would attempt to either knock you out by swinging viciously hard or take you down and "run the pipe", which is to say, straddle you, then hit with hammer-fists until you were dazed. Then he'd grab your head with both hands and bash it into the ground until you were unconscious. His fights with the pro-football player or with the guy harassing he and his buddy at a drive- thru are worth the price of admission.

I want to be friends with that man! He knows how to live.

Awesome. Tank sounds great out there in AZ. A lot of people are fleeing to AZ. I'll hold down in So cal for as long as I can, but anyway, long live Tank.

I love this guy's candor...

Best Tank Interview

Tanks a living legend I hope they put him in hall of fame

Tank looks great here, so glad he's still in good enough shape to enjoy life after all those battles

Wow, I am really impressed with Tank's attitude and demeaner. I always thought he was a true warrior, but he's deeper than I thought. I like the way he says it like it is. Much respect to Tank!

Respect to one of the legend of UFC of the old days. Pure raw power👍👍🙏🙏

Mate, your right about your dog. He's chill little man. Great to hear you speak, your brain is sharp.

It’s nice to see Tank !!

Amazing,Tank was my fighting idol in the early 90s

Tank you very much.

He looks good💪💪💪

Was always a big boxing fan until I saw tank fight in ufc early years...loved his warrior attitude..he is the reason I still love the sport..has there ever been another tank Abbott..still looking..

The Smiths were awesome glad to see this man has good taste in music.

Hannibal ALWAYS producers correct.

I've only seen Tank in fights, in which he definitely seems, and is, a very tough man. Seeing him with his dog in the beginning of the interview is new for me, haha. I think it's cool actually.

I love Tank. 1 of my hero's. The Golden Age of the UFC was when he was in it. Stay healthy my friend.

i just watched it hope you'll get some other interview with Tank

Terrific interview

Man your very articulate, well spoken Tank didn’t expect that, from watching your fights

Awesome interview!! Tank you look great! Looks like you could still go a few rounds!. A legend in my opinion!

🎉🎉🎉🎉 sweet interview

To Fuck'en bad we got'a get old ! Tank Abbott, Ultimate Old School Badass ...

Great Ultimate Warrior Interview

Tank is looking much better these days. Good to see. He's still a beast - War Abbott !

Tank will always be legend. He earned it.

Damn Ol Tank is looking great. He was always my vote. I knew fella's just like him and knew they had the strength of a bull and heart of a lion.

“You don’t get a forehead like that by drinking buttermilk….” HAHAHAHA There’s no one like Tank…

Dave is right about HB.. and CA overall.. this place is fucking DONE.. stick a fork in it..

Glad to see tank back in his feet .

Tank is a straight up warrior yo! He stood and banged with the big big boys and was out there rumbling with Kimbo Slice! 💪🏽💪🏽👊 yeeah!

Tank abbot is a LEGEND

Good interview...thanks

Tank gave the most entertaining fights. He was a true gladiator. I hate all those guys who win by finger lock or some bs move. Tank gave his audience what they came to see

I always loved Tank he was entertaining back in the day. He came to just hurt the hell out of the competitors. I loved his fighting style. He was arrogant and when he was drunk he was a funny commentator. 😆 he always had nick names for the who's who in the Martial arts scene i.e Don the dragon Wilson lol. Awe, hell I miss old school NHB violence....😑 they were interesting days...smh

I swear ive always loved Tank and he is still my favorite.

I met Tank in 2009 in Huntington Beach was really good dude😮

This was a reminder to never judge a book by its cover. Tank is the man.

The grim reaper shows up for Tank on a hospital bed and got its ass handed to him. Gotta love it!

Tank was such a monster in early UFC. His knockouts were insane.

Don Frye hates tank because tank was beating the shit out of him in there last fight.

He is a 100 percent right about HB. It has gone downhill fast. They are trying to turn it around but isn’t what it use to be.

Tank was the only guy who could put Don Freakin Fry on his butt with a jab.

Pure LEGEND. When MEN where MEN. ✊🍻✊

Tanks humor is fucking hilarious
