Don't blink! Two ill-intentioned brawlers who only throw with all their power, UFC veteran David 'Tank' Abbott readied to trade knuckle sandwiches with the heir apparent to his one-punch KO throne Kimbo Slice who scored a 19 second finish in his debut.

The two coolest names in MMA
Facts 🔥🔥🔥
Kimbo "Pie" Slice!!! Tank "Costello" Abbott!!! Legends!
I remember watching this live. It was a huge event. Kimbo was a true entertainer. As was Tank. I was a huge fan of his since the early days of UFC, and he was older here, but still carried that name recognition
Tank is a racist loser . I wouldn't mess around being his friend He goes to hell 🔥 in thee end of his f at life. The day he mocked a knocked out man. He will see soon too lollllllll
What’s interesting is that Kimbo was also old when he entered UFC
@Tom Kimbo pimped your mama? Can’t wait to die to go meet Kimbo?
Young or old they’re both in the bottom of the top 109 heavyweights of all time
They both suck
Wild to me how the introductions lasted longer than the whole fight. Kimbo was an absolute beast.
Hey that's the game my man you never know how the fight is gonna go especially in the Heavyweight Division
Why was it wild? Was Abbott even close to his prime?
Tank could barely move here
Tank always sucked didn't have a prime lol@@keithdrummond1003
This fight with both of them in their Primes would have been Legendary!!!!
Tank would have been destroyed. No doubt about it 😳
It's actually sad seeing Tank fight at that point in his life ......
Kimbo showed him no mercy. Lol.
Man fr. Tank was a beast too
Your right but also his biggest payday maby idk
It's fucking AWESOME watching him makeout with the floor though.
Tank had a liver transplant not long after this fight
Kimbo Slice was a legend, happy to see him shine on The Ultimate Fighter and the UFC stage, RIP icon 🕊❤️💐🙏
He sucked.
Facts crazy he ended up needing a new heart for himself and after one of his fights he had a heart attack 🙏🏼🔥💯
@@dylanjohnston6825"facts 🤓"
I still can’t believe that Kimbo is dead. He seems immortal to me and indestructible. Rest in peace Kimbo!
He was never real. Judge a media creation.
Steroids kill him dude….its not fair and onest fighter!
@@mihai69stoian Kimbo. was dying any way. He juiced up for come big paydays. Anyone who fights for a living had already given up on life.
Rip king limbo
King kimbo limbo
"Sherman or septic?" Classic.
I remember this, I'm glad Kimbo managed to make something of his life. He was one of the realest guys out there.
*He was a disgrace to MMA and was the epitome of all of the negative stereotypes people (rightly) attack MMA for.*
@@MattSingh1 ur indian though
@@MattSingh1 don't you need to be bobbling your head somewhere??
@@MattSingh1 A disgrace just like you!!! Chome!!🖕
Well said bro kimbo made it out the hood to the big leagues. Rest in paradise big fella
The moment he threw his mouth guard, it was over. FUCK YEAH KIMBO God bless you man!
He didn't need it in the street fights he ain't gonna need it now
mouth guard was a stunt. he planned it weeks ahead of time.
💯
RIP Kimbo. Legend in and out of the ring.
Kimbo was a lousy fighter in lousy condition. Cultural phenom only.
@@michaelurda1231 He died from a heart attack probably due to too many roids.
Icon of the sport, rest easy Kimbo ❤️
Yeah, just as long as you could keep him supplied with enough drugs! lol.
Miss that guy
Rip kimbo. Legend
Rip 🙏 "Fergg"
@Tom you ah make somebody do something to u !
RIP 2 Pac & BIG too
@GangBalls69_Estonia who cares? He was a terrible fighter and beat an old ass 40+ Tank Abbott.... like literally a dumb ass fight Kimbo was INSANELY overrated based off those stupid youtube bare knuckle fights... UFC ended him extremely quick.
@@dick-angente8514and Tina too 🙏
Absolutely BRUTAL knockout. Seeing Tank get handled this easily really makes a person realize anyone can get KO'd no matter how tough.
Well if the dude doesn't understand anything about defense, and just lowers his hands and goes full offense no matter what.... that worked in the late 90s.... will never fly in modern MMA... People evolved, Tank did not.
Huh! You don't say?
@@sfprivateer tank wasn't even good in his hey day tbh. He only ever beat people who were not good. Any time he went against a good fighter like Don Frye he lost. He always gassed out so quick. I think people just liked him because he had that bad ass reputation
@@mkohanekbył właśnie dobry w swoich latach świetności a tu poprostu już mu nie zależało i trochę wiek mu już wtedy się sypnał
@@mkohanek They liked him because he was one of the few that read "no rules" and took that as an invitation. He fought like everyone expected the fights to be. Back in the day technical ground game was booed.
his razor got clogged when he was shaving his chest hahahaha he missed a huge spot
no it's a genetic mutation when your hair stops growing on your hair and comes out there. np bs
Abnormal hair growth from one of the reasons for his premature death, steroids.
Not true. Stop lying. Kimbo was born with hearth problems this was all-knowing information @@sleazyfellow
@Inventor1488 oh yeah? Isn't it convenient that all these old school body builders, professional wrestlers who have heart conditions and sometimes they get caught early, have surgery, and those who it's too late (ultimate warrior, macho, eddie Guerrero) all like to point back to heart problems in the family tree. No shit, you can find that in almost every family tree and cancer as well. It's a bullshit excuse to use about hereditary disposition to certain things AND you been pumping steroids and HGH? Quit making excuses.
😂😂😂
I do miss Kimbo he was got all of the Show he put on a Great Guy outside the Cage, he kept it real.. RIP Big Kimbo!!
"He's got more game than a wild life preserve" haha
Two of my favourite MMA fighters man this fight was short but good I love this fight man RIP Kimbo he will be missed
@Tom he won’t be missed?😂😂 everybody I’ve ran into says they loved and still love Kimbo hell his last fight before he died everyone bought the PPV to see his fight with fellow Street fighter and former friend and steroids ok just because he was massive doesn’t mean he did steroids because I don’t know if you know this they take drug test before fights and Kimbo always passed Carry on being a hater he only lost like 4 fights in boxing+MMA+Steet fights
14 minutes of event for about 1 minute of actual fight. Still entertaining. As eager as he was to fight, Sir Kimbo also just looked like he was tired and hurting. What a warrior.
That's what happens when fat guys fight. I've never seen such poor cardio. Getting so tired that you just fall down in under a minute, that's pretty bad.
@@herculesbrofister265doesn't help Tank was pretty much at the end of his career and he was hitting the bottle heavy at the time
Two fighters that I absolutely loved for very different reasons.
Loved Both of These guys A lot! Pure Bar Brawlin Street Fighters!
This was a legendary night. The two baddest men on the planet going at it toe to toe. Mano y Mano!! These kids don’t know about this level of talent right here.
This was the most one sided and boring fight i ever watched
They are not the baddest men on the planet.
@@LaurieMacFarlane-uf9cg You’re right… My mistake. **Baddest men in the universe!!
@@damfunk. can I ask how old you are brother
Kimbo and Iron Mike r the 2 guys ill respect most in Fighting sport ever! 💪👊👊 RIP Kimbo the Lion Heart Slice,ur truly missed ✝️
he was so awesome rip legend
Kimbo is a legend to me. He brought street fighting and BKB to the commercial sports. Fantastic fighter.
and tons of steroids
@@TheMrExemplar same here, not proud or encouraging the stuff because it’s horrible what it’s done to me, I’ll drop dead any day. Who knows. Still he brought his street fighting to the public eye. To me some ones who’s done done BKB, not very good but it’s good for mental health.
@@TheMrExemplar What????
@@Blamejames78 I wish you the best with your health
Tank would have destroyed him in his earlier days Tank Abbott is the one that brought street fighting to commercial industry he was the only Street Fighter back when UFC started out.. no one could beat tank back in the day.. he would win his fights then go to the bars and fight people there everybody that's fought him said he gets like a mule.. I think it would have been a better matchup if they would have done this year's earlier..
Nothing better than seeing tank face down on the mat!!!!
Kimbo with his brick hands. He hits so damn hard.
Покойся с миром боец
he was definitely one fighter i was truly excited to watch. great person/fighter. Something about him just made us gravitate towards his energy. mistakes happened, lessons learned. he still brought the fight and held his own
EliteXC finish the whole Kimbo Slice entrance music.🔥 🔥🔥
2:23 seeing Mike and Bas in his corner just gave me chills. I wonder how Mike and Baby Slice are doing these days.
Fight starts @ 8:30 ends @ 10:00
💪 awesome, may kimbo rest in peace, 🙏 great video thanks 🖤
Say what you want about Kimbo , whenever he went in there just like his street fights he had no fear and went in there to put you to sleep or go out on his shield.
I seen Seth Petrucelli knocked out Bimbo in 14 seconds 😂 You are right about him having no fear , You don't have any fear when you are unconscious.
Even though Tank went 10-15 in mma, he is still my favorite of all time. He didn’t care about things like records, championship belts, or tournaments. He was just there to fight. Win or lose, it didn’t matter to him, he just wanted to hurt people. Plus his “pit fighting” style was hella entertaining. RIP Kimbo
Kimbo put his fist in the back of tanks throat 😂😂😂
It paid the bills
It wasn't entertaining at all... he was garbage against ANYONE that could actually fight.... you also forgot two other things he didn't care about, sportsmanship, or RULES.
@@mattbarker1411 he didn’t care how it looked. He wanted to fight the way he wanted to fight. Plus the same could be said for a lot of fighters back in the early days. That’s what made it entertaining, there were no set styles. Also of course he didn’t care about the rules or sportsmanship, that’s how he got the bad boy image that was alluring to so many. It’s all a matter of preference
@@mattbarker1411he was a heel. Respect the game
I remember Tank Abbott in an episode of the hit TV sitcom Friends and also on the last days of the WCW
Chills. Man rest in peace kimbo. There will never be another like you!
@Tom Please tell us how you really feel
There's a kimbo in every damn neighborhood on the east coast...
Limbo was a legend and had a hart of a lion!
another juicehead mma fighter? i think there will be
@@griffbrock5506 spoken like a true hater.
Kimbo was a Real Streetfighter👍🏻R.I.P
"This is exactly what the crowd wanted" Geee I couldn't tell over the roar of the crowd.
what an absolute legend
R.i.p. Kimbo, a real warrior!
Legend. He was Top G back then.
big fax
would of loved to seen these two fight in there primes
Tank died recently, he was swiming at Laguna beach and someone harpooned him.
Rest in paradise to a o.g. street legend 👊🏼👊🏼💪🏽💪🏽
Big facts. I'm gon' be sparring with him in the afterlife.
Fight starts at 8:22
I thought it was 'let's get ready to rumble" no wait, that's Buffer.
RIP Kimbo Slice, tough guy, good fighter, great father. See u at the crossroads big guy.
Fr his legacy will be carried on by his son Kimbo Slice Jr aka Baby Slice
@Tom let’s see you fight then? If he sucked at fighting how did he win around 95% of his fights only losing 2 fights ever in MMA and losing one street fight and he went 8-0 in professional boxing
Kimbo looks exactly like my dad.
Then your dad looks intimidating
For kimbo? Mouthpiece? No Need!!! Lets get it On... 💪💪💪💪
Commentator: " This guy puts Asses in seats my friend. 😂😂
I was extremely surprised to see how genuine and nice guy Kimbo was when he did the UFC tv show. I had him wrong in my mind, I wanted to hate him because I thought he was going to be arrogant like Anderson Silva, but I was wrong. He seemed like such a great dude.
Tank deserved a worse beating. He was def a ring bully in his day.
For how Tank did Matua? Lol 😅🙊
I am surprised that Kimbo fought Tank. I thought Tank retired before Kimbo started fighting professionally.
Комбо боец от рождения и при этом огромный добряк был. Покойся с миром легенда мы тебя помним!!!
When did this fight take place
RIP Kimbo, Tank was no joooooke! He was also 10yrs older. Tank is still a beast in my book. Kimbo had the super gift of punches that ever lived IMO
slice was a bum. hyped up to sell tickets. he was lost inside the ring. tank never minded taking a dive if the $$$$ was enough.
Blank Abbutt was Kimbo's punching bag. All blank hit was the cage floor.........lol
Good job Kimbo. You came along way! Tank was a beast! Good win
Great match up.tank was a savage too
What year was this fight?
Tank felt that first punch and tried to stop it lmao he knew it was over then
This is one of Kimbos most savage moments when he threw his mouth piece in the crowd.. An this is only second time Tank Abbott has ever been knocked out.... Kimbo was a bad dude!!!
Say what you want about abbott, the guy is one of the scariest opponents you could want
Tank in his prime would have taken this easily
His best was against mark Madden lmfao
It is what it is. They dug up a recognizable name, and he took a dive for a paycheck. Poor tank was winded from holding his stomach in through the ring announcements. Couldn't throw himself down fast enough. Lol
@@TheDentist27 no way in the world tank, or anyone taking those hits! I don’t care how bad you think Abbott is or was, he ain’t getting out alive after those monster hits
He lost.... So no !
Two legendary names.
kevin was an awesome guy great street fight so so boxer and the drizzin shates as a MMA fighter
Way past Tank’s prime, and he was still dangerous, but clearly nowhere near Kimbo’s shape. Incredible speed and explosive power in those punches. Great win for him, RIP Kimbo.
I bet the clan back home wasn't too happy about this one...
Huh? Bro it's 2024. When is the last time you met a clan member
Man Tank was old and already sick at this point and he still went and fought like an animal.
My 1st time seeing this fight & I'm pumped before the ring introduction. I'm sure this will be a classic 💯
Wow! I was expecting fireworks & got more 😎
Dont let this fight fool u Tank was a beast early UFC days but Kimbo was a hole other MONSTER this night! R.I.Paradise Kimbo Slice
The look on tanks face coming into the fight. > Man got to tell ya I liked him back in day. But you could see his mind was elsewhere in this fight. Looked like he was defeated in his face to me before it even kicked off. Maybe he was actually threatened by Kimbo. No Doubt I would be concern. Still remember him knocking that dudes eye ball out in street fight. WOW
he was 43, fat, out of shape, slow and reflexes shot, and had lost 7 out of his 8 previous fights. I think you're overstating kimbo quite a bit. He got rocked by an average, in his prime fighter not long after. And then again, not long after. All of this while being gassed to the moon, and put in the ring with opponents that were hand picked to push him. Average fighter.
@@1kzrider threatened? Not even close.
Tank was slow and out of shape here. He was way better earlier on. He would have won in his prime.
This was the real BMF RT here.....Rip *Kimbo* ..
I love it when bad spirits go down like that. Good always wins over evil.
Mma is the most useful but u cant underestimate someone who can box like kimbo
DAMN! I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T SEE THIS FIGHT SLICE VS TANK MAD RESPECT FOR BOTH☠☠☠☠
A true fighter From the streets to the octagon You are missed
@Tom let me guess you’re a @jakepaul fanny
Rest in perfect peace Kimbo
Miss this Dude so much…RIP Kimbo
Love them both. Legendary brawlers
At first I did not know what the ref was up to in there but then I realised he was trying his best to prolong the fight.
“More Public Enemy than Flavor Flav”… Awesome.
Man I wish Kimbo was still alive to fight and beat the breaks off of Jake Paul. Kimbo wasn’t a mma fighter but he sure as shit knew how to box
Even if he was alive Jake wouldn't fight him. Jake is youtuber
When did Kimbo die ? He was in tip top shape. What did he die from ?
They would probably be friends
On June 5, 2016, Slice was admitted to a hospital in Margate, Florida. He died of heart failure a day later, at the age of 42. An autopsy also revealed a mass on his liver.
Legends.
Tank looked like he'd drank a tank of vodka before the fight started..😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣...
Wish this was Tank in his prime. I think Kimbo would of still ended this in the first round. Once Kimbo turned pro, he started really working on his jujitsu and ground game, and he became a much well rounded fighter.
Kimbo was a terrible pro fighter. Don't lie just because he's gone. His record speaks for itself. A win against elderly tank abbot was his greatest moment
@@bushisback112 I agree in his prime Tank would have killed Kimbo
@@captainmarvel9610 Tank from 95-98 year would be destroy Kimbo
@@bushisback112 If he was terrible, all these seasoned mma vets wouldn't have been terrified to standup and trade with him.
Tank would have KO kimbo on his prime
Would of been of good fight if tank was in his prime.
Kimbo was the nicest neighbor i ever had
Kimbo was a good street fighter, it just didn’t translate to organized fighting. He reminds me of the street ballers that never make it in the NBA. It’s just a different set of skills. Don’t get me wrong, he as the street ballers are AMAZING athletes.
Kimbo Slice would have been a lot more deadly if he had enough cardio for more than 1 round.
Absolutely, ...can you Imagine Kimbo wit like Diaz's gas ⛽️ tank....would've been banana's
Steroids did him in
Goldberg smacking kimbo's ass 🤣🤣🤣
10:38 he got deep in there too 😄
The amount of time people been viewing, y'all ain't see that 🤣
How does ufc have elite xc stuff? Wikipedia doesn't say it was ever bought.
Kimbo came to fight, Tank came to get paid. Got to love the Flair flop at the end.
RIP KImbo.. Remember a fight while i was in prison watching from a small ass cell into the freeway.
Love Kimbo and miss him. Can’t imagine taking multiple punches from him to someone’s head. Tank had that coming to him.
His boxing is so deadly
I can't believe I've never seen this fight. I'm a huge Tank fan!
The first fighter to land a good shot wins when you have 2 powerful punchers like these guy's
One thing I admire about Kimbo he went from being a driver to having a coliseum full of people screaming Kimbo, Kimbo!!!🥲
crazy how much the sport has evolved. image either of these guys vs Ngannou 👀
This is why I always say Kimbo should have been a boxer. He kills it going toe to toe.
The SPLIT SECOND, exactly at 8:40, Kimbo saw that tank was too top heavy to stop his own momentum going backwards, AND he couldn’t punch…. That was it. Thats when the fight was over. Kimbo went straight for the kill. Tank would’ve been in bad condition if the gloves weren’t on.
Uhh he was in pretty bad condition. He faceplanted
