    Well it's back on and I for one wouldn't mind seeing this fight..Tank is 1-7 in his last 8 fights and isn't getting any younger. Kimbo on the other hand has been training seriously with Bas Rutten and should be improving and is the obvious favorite. I just hope tank will train a little bit and make it a good fight and hope he can make a better fight than Kimbo's last fight where the guy was tapping before even getting hit.

    Tank although fat, old and generally talentless is still a badass and would NEVER tap or submit before even getting hit. He's an old dog - an old dog with a mean bite.

    I fully expect Kimbo to beat Tank but Tank will not fold and give up before giving out all hell.

    This fight would have been more fun a few years ago, but it still ought to have some entertaining value. Sadly, this is the best fighter Kimbo has faced thus far. I expect Kimbo to win, and casual fans to say things like, "Wow, he beat that monster Tank Abbott!" Tank built himself a reputation in the early 90s that hasn't quite died, despite his atrocious record lately (and his age).

    Well this is a bit of a waste of time.There first was over very quickly when Tank got subbed with an arm triangle.I guess Kimo will just do the same again.I would have preferred to see Tank vs Kimbo, not that it would have had much significance but it would have been fairly good to see 2 meatheads go at it.

    I hear you. Once on a particularly bad day, I thought Tim Sylvia was an exciting fighter.

    It's a hype fight but credit to Kimbos handlers. They are building him up while hyping him off guys who are kind of names.

    I don't see why people think Kimbo should be fighting anyone better than tank. Who fights MMA for 1-2 years and faces and ex UFC legend like Tank?

    Kimbo has no experience and getting experience is what he should be doing right now. Which he is.

    I think Kimbo should fight Aleksander. I would pay to watch that.

    I don't think he's ready for that..after Tank he will be re-evaluated....and see what kind of talent he is ready for.

    Yeah, I don't think he's ready either, but I have a particular urge to see Kimbo get laid out.
