Tank Abbott: i'm gay

Frank Shamrock said Tank Abbott offered to give him a BJ if his gf wouldnt satisfy him.

responding to Scott Ferrozo's accusation that he was bisexual, he replied
"im not bisexual, im homosexual. i am coming out of the closet, and i am full ***, and i love that".
"im not bisexual i'm gay...shes' (my girlfriend) my cover up"

AND ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TOPIC, HERES TANK WITH HIS RIDICULOUS EXCUSES IN EVERY LOSS:

"he was lucky enough to fight me when my heel was flat and i needed surgery...he lucked out...i was supposed to fight somebody who weighed 190lbs...allegedly he was taking steroids."
i thought you were willing to fight anybody Tank, so why does it matter?

"Kimbo bashed me in the back of the head, i didnt know what i was doing i got up and fought"
he bashed Tank but the referee interferred and Tank had plenty of time to recover. Tank was SCARED of Kimbo. he didnt say anything to his face when he was interviewed, at the weigh ins he was intimidated by kimbo, in the staredown he was looking down, and he touched fists MIDFIGHT after getting hurt.

"did you see Anthony the bitch Macias wink at him and ******* fall down 11 seconds before that fight, oh he fought his friend before he fought, i fought 2 fights"
Oleg Taktarov also fought 2 fights that night before you Tank
the only fights i could be lenient on him would be the Yoshida fight where he got jet legged, and maybe the Gary Turner fight for similar reasons.

AND FOR CLOSING:
"MAA blah blah blah... MMA it about being a sport fighter not being a fighter for life, i could beat Tito Ortiz when i was a senior in high school..chuck liddell and any of these guys are in hiding around weight classes...theyre all a bunch of clowns...theyre all midgets running around...in the end of the day you guys are all a bunch of idiots, when a big man from high school can kick your ass, its time to think about whats going on...promoters call me 3 times a week to fight...because im a real warrior i aint some litte candy ass bitch that saw fighting on TV and go omg i can do that im gonna make some money. bottom line is i will beat your ass... there is nobody on this earth that is willing to fight me anywhere...i will hurt and kill all of you"
so why do you fight tank? most of the fights you took was because you needed money.
though i respect tank's strenght (benched 600 pounds) and punching power (knocked out cabbage) he should focus on fighting guys like pudz and butterbean.

This entire post is rambling so bad I can't tell what is supposed to be a quote from who or what is your opinion. You make no sense, not meant to be insulting I just can't figure out what your trying to get across.:dunno:

I listened to the intervied, the gay comments were a joke everyone was laughing at it. And second Oleg didn't fight twice before fighting Tank at UFC 6 its fairly well known that Anthony Macias had the same manager and that Oleg and Macias's manager set up the fight and got Macias to take a dive. That isn't Tank's words, some well respected fighters have said it happened. Andy Anderson who fought at UFC 5 has came out and said he was in the room when Macias was asked and agreed to take a dive.

who is everyone? scott ferrozo claimed tank is bisexual, and the only one laughing was the radio host and the people sitting with tank at the bar. could have been a joke though i was very confused with this.if it was almost anybody but tank who said this it would be a valid "proof" that theyre gay.

Oleg did fight twice. he fought Dave Benetau and Anthony Macias. now lets say the Macias fight was a dive. but lets look at the amount of time they fought.

quaterfinals

Tank wins by Ko in 18 seconds over Matua
Oleg Taktarov wins by guillotine in 57 seconds

semifinal

Tank defeats Paul Varelans at 1:53
Oleg Taktarov guillotines Macias at 0:12 (lets say its fake, but it was very short anyways)

so combined
Tank- 2 minutes
Taktarov- 1:10 minutes
i guess then Tank was twice as tired as oleg before they faced each other:sarcastic12:

if we go like that then Tank never lost, he always had some apparent disadvantage...

well i just brought up his most recent interview and wanted to make some comments. he claims to be gay and made some rediculous excuses for his losses and how hes the toughest fighter ever.

i just expressed my opinion, if he was just making a joke about himself being gay for whatever reason i got no problem with that, just was a very ackward statement and possibly due to him being very drunk in a bar.

well i got nothing else to say about this topic.

i never heard any accusations regarding tank previously and he was always selling himself as the toughest guy on earth. now its bizzare to suddenly hear him say that hes gay. he was probably joking but would be better if he said "im just joking" and answered all the other accusations.

either way i hope tank and ferrozo have a match if not for the quality then for the entertainment

Say what you want about Tank Abbott, I know he lost more fights than he would have liked, but he almost always entertained the fans to the utmost.

My all-time favorite thing about Tank, though, is a statement he once made while being interviewed. I guess the interviewer had mentioned something about no one in Huntington Beach messing with Tank because he was so tough, and Tank replied by saying something like, "I'm not a bully, I'm the guy who beats up the bullies."

I thought that was a great thing to say, and Tank really earned my respect with that statement, although he'd already had my respect for being willing to get into the Octagon with some other pretty tough dudes.

i remember kimbo saying something like this, that hes not a bully but he beats up bullies. but tank was trying to be the bully with kimbo but kimbo wont let him have it
