I've heard this "story" a few times in the last couple years. As far as I
know, it's a "he said that she said that someone heard that a friend of a
friend of someone that knows Tank" type of story.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I've always wondered if Tank was gay too due to some of his
comments like being "sexually arrosed" from watching footage of his KO
of Matua and saying that he put Nelmark on "Queer Street" and making the
comment that Belfort was "cute" in an interview before their match and
stuff like that. Also, Tank has spent time in prison and we've all
heard of what kind of stuff goes on in there. However, I actually met
Tank in person while I was on vacation in 8/95 at the Hard Rock Cafe in
Newport Beach, CA and he came in with an attractive female. Tank was
actually pretty cool and friendly when I talked to him but he was also
intimidating and he scared the shit out of me at the time (remember,
this was about a month after his UFC VI debut). Believe it or not,
Tank actually plays golf. Also, I read an interview with Tank (at his
unofficial web page I believe) and the subject of chasing chicks came up
in the interview and there was a picture of him with some chick and the
caption to the picture said something like "women love the Tank" or
something like that. I'm not saying that Tank isn't gay because I
really don't know for sure but from what I've seen he does like women so
if he really is into guys then he must be bi-sexual. I would like to
believe that Tank is not gay at all but none of us here know for sure.
This is probably just a rumor that got started because of the way that
Tank likes to joke around. Whether Tank is gay or not I know that I
sure as hell wouldn't want to piss him off. Also, if Tank really is
gay I think that being locked in the same prison cell with him would be
my worst nightmare come true..............

Tank in that I saw him in person in a Hard Rock Cafe and he was there

There was a magazine interview with tank a few years back in which he
stated that he liked to hang out in gay bars because no one wanted to fight
him there and he could just relax and drink.

I heard something about that. Of course, it doesn't mean he is gay. I knew
a guy that for some strange reason, liked to hang out in lesbian bars. This
of course, didn't mean he was a lesbian. :)

Ahhh, I see now. It would be all too easy, to take this interview out of
context, and twist it to intimate, Tank has something other than a
hetero orientation.

Which makes Bob's "...heard that a friend of a friend...type story..",
all the more plausible. Definitely one way these kinds of
unsubstantiated rumors get started. That, and his having spent time
behind bars (for what?). Maybe someone has read an interview with his
*prison bitch*? <bg>

I always considered those comments, evidence of Tanks mastery of the
*mind fuck*. IMO, he always keeps people guessing what he is thinking,
by being so off-the-wall, with so many of his remarks. This of course,
just enhances his intimidation game...

...and judgeing by your personal experience, is something that he can
do, without even really trying. Now imagine being his opponent, when he
has his *game face* on! A fighter like Tank, definetly commands (and
almost always gets) *respect*. This *respect*, is (of course) largely
based on fear! Great edge, in the NHB game. I would be hard pressed, to
name very many fighters, better at it than Tank.

Depends on your *definition* of "bi-sexual" or "gay". Maybe he just
thought of it like the (ancient) Greeks did; If he was always the
penetrator, and was not penetrated himself, than it was not consider to
be a homosexual act. The (ancient) Greeks were always good at
rationalizing these things. Come to think of it, wasn't Clinton big on
Greek history? <g> I'm not saying Tank is not gay at all but none of


us here know for sure.


Very true, but that doesn't seem to stop people from speculating about
it.

So, Debbie sent Pete to her favorite lesbo watering hole. Apparently (as
Pete went by himself) he was amazed at all the *available* babes there,

only to be taken outback, by her butch girlfriend and a couple of her

Might also explain why, he doesn't get drunk like that, in public

No, you did not express an opinion, you made a statement as if it were fact.
Let me quote it for you:

"Sorry folks but no straight guy thinks like this."

That is not an opinion, that is a statement informing others that if they
have an opinion otherwise, then they are wrong.

Please send me all of your newsgroup posts prior to posting. I will review
them and inform you whether you have finally contributed something
intelligent to the group, in which case it will be fine for you to make the

I can see wanting to keep people guessing about your fighting style and new
abilities. But I don't see how having folks wonder if I'm riding the leather
Cheerio is going to enhance my fighting tactics.

What do fighting tactics, have to do with "riding the leather Cheerio"?
Well, If you start playing on an opponents homophobic thoughts and/or
fears, it just may rattle them enough, to take them out of their game.
Maybe, Tank is secure enough in his sexual orientation, to see the
advantage of *mind fucking* someone he views, as not being so secure in
their sexual orientation. Getting inside another opponents head, works
just as well in the NBA, or NFL, as it does in NHB fighting. With all
the close and personal contact in NHB fighting, maybe playing the *queer
card*, is just a brilliant strategy, Tank chooses to utilize?

BTW, with so many of his interviews taken out of context, it is very
misleading, to try to figure Tank out, just by reading a couple of
quotes. It was posted here, that when asked to describe Vitor in one
word, Tank used the word "cute". This accurate, but does not convey the
flippant manner, in which he answered the question. In the very same
interview, he was asked, what kind of women he liked. His answer? "All".
Goes to show, Tank Abbott is THE master of the *mind fuck*!

Not so brilliant once he loses his fan base, the reason why he gets

I heard that this is supposed to be fact. It may have come from Brian Johnston
who roomed with him at a UFC. He apparantly called for an immediate room
change because Tank came back with a bunch of "Boys" and they were F_cking &
S_cking from what I heard. I didn't believe it when I 1st heard it, but
everyone was acting like it was common knowledge. I think Johnston went to work
out at Renzo's old place & maybe that's how my friends heard. I think if it
is true it must be like a prison thing he picked up. I heard he hangs at this
place called the Hula Girl and he always has chicks all over him though.

There is one leather clad person in his entourage that looks kind of like those
Road Warrior Fags. I really don't know.

I wonder if this also explains Pat Smith mysterious memory loss after his
beating from Tank's entourage. Maybe that would explain why he has been
fighting like a bitch ever since? LOL

Actually, I did hear that Pat Smith, Paul Vunak, and Bas Rutten have a slight
drug problem.

This is getting out of hand now. You all sound like some gossiping school
girls. "I heard...." and "So and so said..." and "A friend of a friend of a
friend said..... This is getting ridiculous. The facts are that there is no
good reason to think the guy is gay. So he makes a couple of jokes that you
try to twist around? How often have all of you told some guy "suck my dick" or
"your so sweet". If you really are desperate enough you can twist something
anyone says. let it go and act like men instead of yapping little bitches.

You have a point, but I don't think he is really in danger of losing his

You're right gahtu. I have no right to comment on Bob's posts, even when Bob's
post is responding to one of MY posts. Even when Bob takes a shot at my
opinions, I should not try to fire back. It's entirely my fault. Bob should
get to fire away with impugnity and I have no right to respond. I extend my
deepest apologies to you and everyone else in this NG who kisses Bob's ass.

Over the years Tank has made numerous sexual references in connection with his
descriptions of the men he fights against. He views his physical contests in
explicitly sexual terms. When he gets whomped by Severn, he tells us it's like
getting raped by Freddie Mercury. When he sees tapes of his fights, he tells
us it gets him sexually excited. His other comments show us that he is quite
familiar with terms used by the leather gay community.

Now we don't know for sure what any of this means. Tank could be actively gay,
or he might be gay but in denial about his true orientation, or maybe he's
nothing but a sadist. Only his shrink (or his friends) know for sure.

Really. So you are familiar with the "leather gay community" well enough to
notice some type of *key* phrases? Well, you must be a
very..uhhh..special...person. (poof)

Um...if you say so. I must confess that my knowledge of the gay community
and coming out kinks is nonexistent so I'll have to defer to your expert
opinion. =P

LMAO!!! What exactly did he say? And are you a member of the leather gay
community that you would catch them? I live in San Francisco, but I can't
really think of any terms that would imply "leather gay community". Did he
call someone a gerbil queen or something?

I think Tank and Perretti have a closet relationship. We all know Tank's gay
references, but according to Peretti, "I've ever seen Lober in THAT position
before!"
and Bas Rutten "is the cutest guy in NHB"

I can do anysink!!
