While 42 year-old MMA legend David Tank Abbott may not have the ripped body of his next opponent Kimbo Slice, Abbott can still bench press over 500 lbs and strike about as well as anyone for about :30 seconds until he runs out of gas. BodogLife.com has Kimbo Slice as a -450 odds MMA betting favorite in Kimbo Slice vs Tank Abbott.

Slice is a crude fighter much like Abbott in terms of style. Kimbo is only in the beginning stages of his MMA training with trainer the legendary Bas Rutten. Slice has tremendous upside but Abbott (9-13) has been in with the best MMA fighters for over 10 years.

Tank’s cardiovascular problems have  cost him dearly in recent years with Abbott riding a (1-6) record since his comeback in 2003 from a 5 year layoff.

This is MMA however where the aspect of “are you an exciting fighter to watch factor” trumps all. Abbott has positioned himself for one last payday on Showtime by simply hanging around long enough to put his name back in th mix once more. In the Strength/Power department Tank is still an elite MMA fighter but his technique has slipped to the point of dismal.

Tank is known for blazing off to fast starts with his haymakers, can he catch Kimbo and pull of the upset? EinsteinPicks's Brad Marchetti has connections in the fighting world.
