Short Biography
David Lee "Tank" Abbott (born April 26, 1965) is an American mixed martial arts fighter, former professional wrestler, and author. He currently competes in the Heavyweight division of King of the Cage. Abbott is perhaps best known for being an icon in the early stages of mixed martial arts and the UFC, but has also competed in the PRIDE Fighting Championships, Strikeforce, EliteXC, and Cage Rage. He has described his fighting style, which he developed brawling in the bars and streets of Huntington Beach, California, as "Pit Fighting". Abbott was the first fighter to regularly wear what would be known as traditional MMA gloves in the UFC. He is also the author of his biography which is called Bar Brawler. On September 23rd 2015, Tank Abbott made controversial comments on his podcast stating " I will fight any woman on this earth for free " " If I win, which is gonna happen, you have to make me a sandwich. " If you win, I'll give you $100, 000. " The comments were made when Abbott stated that boxing legend, Floyd Mayweather, Jr would have no trouble in defeating UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey in a no holds barred fight.
