Tank is an amazing fighter he is second only to Sakuraba in my books. I think he will be back some day.

He beats up fat guys. Period
Anybody remember the beating Vitor Belfort gave him. Holding his head, grimacing in pain, while Belfort hammered away on the side of his head!
For what it's worth. He brings entertainment and his appearance is enough for viewers to tune in.

tank never won a fight against anyone with skill. but he is one of the most entertaining fighters ever.
tank is very important as far as NHB/MMA history is concerned. he helped dispel the "kung fu master" myth. the dude got off a bar stool, put some gloves on, and kicked ass.
tank was in fightsport magazine recently. he was wearing a gi and was smirking in different karate stances. LOL

That pretty much sums up the fat bastard's training history.PolishHammer1977

Guys like that are always good in bar fights though. I would welcome him to work along side me in the clubs. Everyone needs a bar room brawler on the staff.

Tank wrecked Hugo Duarte, not a top level fighter, but a pretty skilled Luta Livre practicioner.
Tank always makes for an interesting fight.
He was sitting out his big dollar AOL/Time Warner contract from when WCW folded. I am sure that is up now, but I know he was making some pretty good bank for doing nothing.
I suspect you will see him come back for a couple of fights. Most likely in Pride would be my guess. A tune up fight and then either Bob Sapp or Quinten "Rampage" Jackson. Both of which could be good fights.

Tito > Tank
Tito is the better UFC type fighter.
A classic trained martial artist/wrestler.
A fighter who does his work like a surgeon.
He has beaten guys bigger; it is skill and focused aggression that counts.
If there is a match up between Tito and Tank, Tito will KO him, or choke him into submission.
As for case history; Tank was wasted by Pedro Rizzo by KO, Rizzo is smaller but a trained surgical fighter.
To sum it up if there are two fighters of roughly the same skill, the guy with classical cross-maritial arts/wrestling training will ALWAYS win over a brawler.
