[@watchmanonthewall14]

I'm older than Big John. I remember the reputation Tank had in Huntington Beach. I hoped that I would never run into him on the streets. He was a mean, angry man who wanted to fight all day long with anyone. He bragged about KO'ing people in bars. He was a menace. Yes, he was an alcoholic, BUT, not all alcoholics are violent. It's part of his nature. When he fought in the early days, I listened very carefully to what he had to say in interviews, and I studied his mannerisms. The vibe I always got was that he was an UNSTABLE individual, at best. When Vitor cleaned his clock, I could not be happier. The angry bully got stopped in his tracks. Tank went to a lot of HB bars, but there was one that he was fond of, and that's one of the bars where he was fighting and many cops were called and they arrested him. PD knew him WELL. That bar has since gone out of business and has been replaced by a restaurant, but whenever I drive by the building, I think of Tank.

[@hawaiianrussian1047]

True, for the most part Tank was just a bully that loved beating people up and he didint care if it was in a cage or not. He has literally admitted multiple times that his favorite fights were in bars. Naturally his alcoholism was bound to catch up to him.

[@johnsambo9379]

It's pretty obvious John's family was very involved in the UFC. Tank has had five strokes and a liver and kidney transplant. Cut him slack. I doubt either one of these guys could fight for 17 minutes straight in one fight. Not to mention that was his third fight of the fight.

[@Mojo_Jo_Jo_]

I like how big John clearly has an ego and doesn’t acknowledge that part 🤣 it’s funny too how he’s talking reckless about Tank now because he knows his health is bad.

[@PittheadX]

Tank would still beat John's lardy butt.

[@Schelosk]

I was right there the last time Big John saw Tank. Ross Kellin, Jessica Borga, myself and Coach Hinkleman all wanted to meet Tank. Big John walked us over Tank was a complete gentleman with Big John and the rest of us. I don't know anything other than they were very nice to each other.

[@dalec4864]

Big John was a Gracie follower at that time, it is how he got the job and being that the first UFC was invented to be a commercial for Gracie jiu jitsu I do t find it hard to believe that big John was invested in the Gracie name being pushed forward. Also what Tank said about big John standing him up before that was even a rule is true, that was the first time anyone was stood up for lack of action and there were some long ass boring ass fights before that that never got interrupted. The ufc didn’t like Tank, that’s a pretty established fact. I don’t think anything Tank said was out of line or some crazy conspiracy personally.

[@81ghale]

I’m kind of with this same line of thinking. I’m sure Tank got some things wrong, both accidentally from being smashed drunk all the time, and maybe purposefully just out of not liking John, but I can see it playing out the way he said pretty much. For the reasons you said, and you have to remember John was/is a cop. They know how to talk in circles and get people misdirected to make a conversation go a certain way they want. I think both guys were right and wrong in different instances more than likely. I don’t call Tank’s whole side of story bunk just because he got some things out of sequence, he was drunk ALL THE TIME 😂 of course he’s going to get the timeline screwed up, but like he said most of what he’s talking about is on tape.

[@jerm13088]

Listening to what a drunk said who didn't know his limitations and had demons he dealt with by being basically mean and evil to anyone who did something he didn't agree with. John has good cause to hold a grudge but yet he has never brought this up until Tank started talking. People who were there at the time also back up Johns statements. Literally No One has backed up Tanks stories. So it is hard to believe that the UFC hated a guy they kept bringing back to fight and still run highlights of his and John hated a guy he hung out with AFTER all these instances happened. Alcohol and depression affect memory and emotions after excessive use and without treatment.

[@blueelephant4971]

Tank wrote three books, "Bar Brawler (2012)", "Street Fighter" (2019), and "Cage Fighter (2021)". In them he changes all the names to avoid lawsuits but with the more famous people you can tell who their alter ego is. For instance Art Davie is "Big Bart Shady" and John McCarthy is "Little Winchell Duncan". In these books he repeats everything he said on Rogan's show and lobs many other accusations as well.

[@patrickoconnor9267]

Right, a history of the ufc by Big John would be a great book.

[@watchmanonthewall14]

I posted here last week here, but what you just wrote made me think of something I should have included in my original post. By listening to Big John podcast after podcast, he has shown a PATTERN of accurate memory for small details of long ago. As opposed to Tank's pattern of having a "unique" perspective on past events. Tank's perspectives have always been "unique". One thing that both Tank and Big John do agree on is that those early tournaments had suspect matchmaking behind the scenes, to favor certain fighters in a tournament, as well as a couple of fights that were thrown.

Professional fighters are in a legitimate legalized sport it’s not Jean Claud Van Damne’s Blood Sport Kumite! He’s talking about eye gouging and how someone reacts to something like that and it wouldn’t be a realistic thing to use an arm bar in that situation. He out dated himself with not physically keeping up with the level of competition that UFC evolved to. The sport out grew him plain and simple and he didn’t want change so he kept drinking and f**king up his own life just being an old drunk.

You both did a great response.And you also did a great job in saying several times how horrible tank looks

[@jackbadabing5609]

I believe tank

[@slobdog7394]

As soon as Tank got started I was thinking, right lets wait a bit and get proper story when John address the issue. You could tell it was sus by Joe’s reaction

[@ThielsArtwork]

Tank Abbott is the man.

[@Al.S.]

Have been waiting for this

[@TheDogDad]

Hmm Big John is one of the most respected men in MMA & basically helped create it. Tank was a fighter who shit talked everyone, had a bad relationship with every organization he was in, and damn near killed himself with lifetime abuse of drugs & booze. I think I'll side with Big John on this.

I don't

[@asmile949]

Well said

[@watchmanonthewall14]

DogDad, you laid it out pretty well.

I think tank said some true stuff but he’s definitely not the good guy he claimed to be and acting like he never started fights. I think he honestly is the opposite of some of the things he was saying. Definitely a physic path I think. I just really felt like he totally twisted some stuff saying everyone begged him to beat them up lol. I just felt like it was a lie.
