[@jasonbent97]

Leland Matt he was very important to the growth of this sport. Go back to UFC 40 which is the event which saved the UFC (not TUF because no UFC 40 there is no TUF) and witness the pop when Tank comes back. Now he was used. Smartly so. Brought Tank back to bring old fans back so Mir and the new school could get over much like Gracie vs Hughes at UFC 60 was exactly the same. UFC 1 and 2 drew curiosity but quickly it lost its juice because of Royce’s dominance so enter Tank and his win over Matua and his promos and you had some magic. Was he some great all around fighter? No way but he had hands, power, charisma for days and absolutely is an important figure. A prime Tim Sylvia could cause problems for many top 15 heavyweights currently while Tank probably wouldn’t necessarily be more than Derrick Lewis if even but the intangibles mean more. Tank mattered and just because he isn’t and never could have been on the level of a Stipe Miocic doesn’t diminish what he meant to the sport and how he helped elevate it to where it is today. Sure he’s a dinosaur but he mattered.
