| UFC 13 The Ultimate Force MMA video of Vitor Belfort (3-0) Vs. David “Tank” Abbott (6-4). This Ultimate Fighting Championship bout took place in Augusta, Georgia on May 30th 1997. | |
go back to the bar tank, vitor is a precison fighter…with all do respect to tank, he had his times. this was when UFC was good, not the SHIT it is now. HYPE HYPE HYPE.
Vitors strong start..showed that Brazilians are good at stand up too…(and Wandy) ..
damn the phenom looks old in that pic!
“tank can handle punishment.”
then 1 second later big john steps in.
hah!
This was where the “fastest hands in mma” came from….flurries of fists, hundred hand slaps!!!!~
Sad part is, as fat as Tank looked, he was rather spry-looking in comparison to his shape for the Kimbo fight.
Can’t believe Belfort ever had to fight this clown. Guess you have to start somewhere…
look out for this man, he’s training with xtreme couture
If Vitor can come back to championship level in an elite organization (UFC,etc.), that will be one of the greatest mma stories of all time…I wish him the best, he was always exciting to watch
The writing was on the wall for Tank after this fight. Vitor, while not as powerful, was definitely more athletic and fundamentally sound in all areas than Tank.
poor tank abbott. his losses are hard to watch, cause it’s usually the case that his opponent exposes him for the sloppy striker that he is. he throws those loopy punches and then, timber! he should stick to knocking out street punks at whatever dive bar he goes to everyday. I will say that he is charismatic tho, and is always a good interview.
wow this was when tank wasnt a piece of shit
Vitor was punching like someone in a video game just mashing the buttons
Wow, I feel like I just watched a child star in a “Before it all went wrong” video. I mean, even though he was mid way through a ‘roid cycle during the fight!
I think it’s disgusting that a guy that can talk so much smack and push at referees to get at guys after fights had been stopped and mock fighters that have been hurt, will basically tap out after a few pitty pats to the head. Then he chases down Vitor like a little bitch at the end of the fight so he can kiss his ass. What a fuckin’ Dooosh!
