Cage Potato has posted a very interesting video of Tank Abbott calling out former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar.

Watch the video here.

The two-time UFC tournament runner-up mocked Lesnar’s lack of a stand up game, saying he could “knock Brock Lesnar out in 10 seconds.”

Recalling his days as a professional wrestler with the now defunct World Championship Wrestling, Abott stated an affinity for other wrestlers but called Lesnar “a little bitch” and “steroided-out.”

Abbott continued, criticizing Lesnar’s status as a fighter:  “You get punched in the face and you run the other way like a girl, that’s not what you’re in there for,” he said.  “You’re supposed to sit there and exchange, not run.”

With a 10-14 record, Abbott claimed that he could not only render the former champion unconscious, but he would like to “jump up and down on his head afterward.”

A fight between Brock Lesnar and the 46-year-old Abbott is highly unlikely, but it will be interesting to see how Lesnar responds to criticism of his chin against the dangerous striker Junior Dos Santos at UFC 131.

Tank Abbott: “I Could Knock Brock Lesnar Out in 10 Seconds”

Where’s Robert Gardner when you need him?

A matchup between Tank Abbott and Brock Lesnar sounds like it would make for a very interesting “Time-Warp Battle” discussion (don’t worry, I’ll take Tank).

Seriously though…how can you not love Abbott?

I mean, here’s a guy who not only speaks his mind without any fear of retribution, but he managed to turn himself into a household name with every MMA fan by consistently backing up every single word with an equivalent action—most of the time anyway.

In this particular case, however, I can’t help but to wonder if perhaps Abbott has finally bitten off more than he can chew, as he openly criticized the former UFC heavyweight champion, Brock Lesnar.

After all, at the tender age of 46, it’s not very likely that Abbott, a man who was once capable of bench pressing 600 pounds, has enough fight left in him to actually defeat a powerhouse athlete like Lesnar. But don’t tell that to Abbott.

With a professional MMA record of 10 wins and 14 losses, Abbott hasn’t actually competed in a professional bout since 2009, where he won by what else?

That’s right…you guessed it…

Knockout in the first round.

Prior to that however, Abbott lost 11 out of his previous 14 fights (damn these new “safer” rules!), which obviously makes me wonder if Abbott really believes what he is saying in this video.

Not only does Abbott accuse Lesnar of being a “little bitch, all steroided out,” but he even goes so far as to call Lesnar a “little girl” for running away after he gets punched in the face.

But what’s particularly funny, is what Abbott says that he would do to Lesnar AFTER he knocks him out.

Enjoy this instant classic, fight fans.

I know I did.

The Top 15 Heavyweights in MMA History: Does Brock Lesnar Make the Cut?

If Brock Lesnar would just come out of his shell already, the world would be a better place. I long for the day—pine for it, even—when people finally have the pleasure of knowing this massive and massively talented man for the opinionated, large, charismatic, powerful, large, ornery and very large fighter that he is.

Until then, it seems that people like me are left to extol his virtues on his behalf. But mark my words: One of these days, he’ll get his just due. In fact, I predict he’ll make quite a few dollars in this sport before it’s all said and done.

While I wait patiently for Wallflower Lesnar to become a household name, I’ll go ahead and fill you in on some details. For starters, he fights in the Ultimate Fighting Championship promotion, as a member of their heavyweight division (that’s the biggest one). He has had many wins there.

So many wins, in fact, that I can’t help but wonder where he might rank among the all-time greats at heavyweight. The top five are more or less set in stone. The second five are slightly more mutable, but still pretty rigid. But the third five? Well, that’s where it gets interesting.

Does the shy, underrated Brock Lesnar wind up there? Only one way to find out: read on.
