Tank Abbott special guest on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' tonight

Tank AbbottProElite sent around a press release this evening, announcing that Tank Abbott will appear on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" tonight at 12:05 a.m.

He'll be hyping up his upcoming fight against Kimbo Slice from the Bank United Center at the University of Miami on February 16.

Never one to mince words, the straight-shooting Tank is always an interesting interview, leaving fans with some comedic sound bytes in his wake.

A couple memorable ones that spring to mind are:

"After a match, my opponent goes to the hospital and gets an IV and I have a martini."

Or my personal favorite:

"He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day and looks like a pussy today."

Pure genius.

His appearance tonight should be worth a look for comical purposes alone. Therefore, definitely check it out or program the DVRs.

Nice pic, everything about tank seems intimidating, if only his badass looks matched his fighting record, isn’t he 9-13?

The thing about Tank is that he’s such a natural fighter. Not too many guys can show up to a pro fight without training and not end up hospitalized. It’s just too bad he doesn’t care enough to hone his craft, or he could have been a force in MMA.

Kimbo Slice & Tank looks like two mofos from Oz going at it…but that makes me wanna watch! Kimbo will likely have to much for Tank at 42 yrs old. However I believe Kimbo wil get housed if he faces anyone legitimate in the UFC.

Tank is exactly what Abbot is going to do… Slice will own him.

LMAO!!

I didn’t know ole “Nothing in the” Tank Abbott was still fighting (or whatever he calls it). Bar room brawls are for bars. Abbott/Kimbo is more tough man than MMA.
