                    <blockquote>

The 47-year-old Californian will fight 43-year-old Ruben Villareal at a King of the Cage event in April. Abbott (10-14) vs. Villareal (20-25) will be the main event of the card and will fight for the promotion's "superfight" title.

"King of the Cage: Fighting Legends" takes place April 13 at Gold Country Casino in Oroville, Calif. Promotion officials recently announced the card and main event. The card is scheduled for a broadcast on MavTV, which is available from select cable and satellite providers.

"Tank Abbott basically built the sport of MMA and brought it into the mainstream when he started fighting in the mid-90s," King of the Cage owner Terry Trebilcock Jr. stated. "There is no true MMA fan in the world who doesn't know who Tank Abbott is, and we're thrilled that he has picked King of the Cage to resume his fighting career when he could have fought in any event in the world."

He was vicious in his early days, I can't see him having much left at his age but maybe he can string some wins together.

3

I wish we saw Tank vs. Ken at UU96 more than any other fight ever.

4

Lol I've trained with Ruben. Phone Post

5

Lol the Backyard Walrus grunting match sure was epic. Still, always up for Tank swinging for the fences. Then once both guys are planking on one another it's time to go for a dump.

6

Powers the last thing to go....and I'm positive I wouldn't want to tangle with Tank even if he was 60! That guy can still do some damage.

MMOZ - Should fight Cabbage again IMO. Does Cabbage even fight anymore? Didn't he go to jail? Phone Post

Yes he fought a few weeks in Hawaii at Shw and got tko'd in the first round Phone Post

This.....is......awesome!!!! Phone Post

10

I would hate to think this is because he needs cash. He's a pretty smart guy.

11

"...any event in the world" HHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA.... who is the clown who said that?

voorhees - I wish we saw Tank vs. Ken at UU96 more than any other fight ever.

I'd have rather seen Tank vs Royce back then...

13
youarebad - "...any event in the world" HHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA.... who is the clown who said that?

I didnt know UFC or Bellator Cards werent events either Phone Post

14

Hope his new hair-do makes its cage debut. Phone Post

15

I read that Cabbage just fought a month ago. What I read said he looked horrible. In for a paycheck I think :-(

16

Kick some ass Warpath!

17

WAR Tank

18

I've always wondered how guys like Warpath survive.

Does he have another job?

Not interested in watching guys at that skill level. No disrespect... at the time, Tank's skills were minimal but acceptable given the competition. But, I'm just not interested in watching brawlers windmilling fists at one another. Phone Post

Tank time! Phone Post

I have to go to this event Phone Post
