    Nice video, happen to come across it! Can’t say you couldn’t pick 10:44 a better subject! Read in a comment that someone suggested I took steroids.
    NOPE!
    Never did!
    I consider steroids cheating!
    Great video!

      Hi David,
      Great that you saw the video, and liked it as well.
      I hope you're well. I actually came across your CZcams account a few times, whilst I was doing my research, so I'm pretty sure this is actually you.
      Don't know wether you'd be interested or not, but I would love to get you on for a little interview one day, if you're up for it ?
      I'll leave my email address incase you are. It would be great to talk to you.
      mattlegg1976@hotmail.co.uk

He represented every toughguy redneck out there that thought they were good enough to fight in the UFC and the crazy thing was, he was actually pretty damn good. It was his stamina and discipline that kept him from going further, but I think he went further than he ever thought possible for himself. Absolute Legend

    He was definitely tough as nails but what I found super impressive was his weightlifting feats. I think I saw where at one time he benched 600 lbs. That puts you in a class of strongman very few achieve. That along with his bar room fighting skills was not a man to be messed with.

      Sounds like you are.
      It is so important that you watch out for yourself, and take care of your health.
      Man, I'm glad I found your channel.
      Tank will always be a bad son of a gun, and probably my favorite UFC fighter.
      You take good care

    Thank you Matt. Been watching your vids avidly.
    This was a great presentation. I’m a big tank fan , pushing 60 so this was a memory lane tour for me
    The fasting tip caught my attention
    Political factors and disinformation have caused most of us to have some form of depression.
    I’m at a crossroads myself with lack of motivation to get back in shape and sometimes just to leave the house.
    Thanks for the advocacy of fasting as I think it will help me too.
    You seem a very nice man.

    Thanks for yet another wicked upload and a great tribute to one of the greatest. I had the Ultimate Fighter on VHS videotape (eh? what's that?) and The Tank was a savage. Just an absolute brute of a man . . and to hear the Tank Murdoch reference is also so relevant to me . . the "Every which way . . " films were two of my all time favourite Clint Eastwood films (along with the "Dirty Harry" series).
    Class, Matt! Thanks again, real minter, this one!

      So it was a lot of work, but I love the subject matter, especially Tank .
      Yes, so I thought Lee has proved himself against a few names, he's got the size, strength, confidence and the grappling skills .
      So he'd be a threat for sure.

    HANDS DOWN … best summation and commentary of tank. There’s way too many idiots that don’t respect him or have the brain capacity to understand what he did for the sport. Dudes a fucking legend. And he’s still alive and spry enough to tell the tale of the tape. Not many can say that.
