mark hunt is overqualified, jan nortje is in real life what tank was portrayed as in fiction

zuluzinhao i feel is not so much a tank as he is more of a gimmick like giant silva or hong man choi, derrick to me is probably the closest analogue we have to tank.

ive been on a wrong side of most of these votes but i look at tank in a vacuum of what he was for his active career and not afterwards, so i take value in being a guy who fights against his best interests style wise in the interest of trying to hurt opponents who are probably worse than him but defeat him due to his own ignorance and lack of hespec towards them.

Vince was the one that told him not to put Gunn over because he was pissed at Gunn for beating Bradshaw. Vince was trying to promote Bradshaw, and he was his desired champion. Gunn’s reward for winning the non-rigged tourney was to fight Butterbean.

Derrick Lewis, who defied the laws of physics (ju jitsu) to return to brawling, who looked like a layman trying to understand quantum calculus when faced with Cyril Gane's approach of "throw strikes that aren't just punches", and who threw his cup into the crowd in the hopes that it become an NFT, is the true heir. Tank was a fantasy to fat, lovely, misogynistic assholes that they could beat true athletes, Derrick represents that fantasy to all people. He embodies the dream for everyone that if you are strong enough, determined enough, and fat enough, you too can achieve middling success on the world stage. He is the Tank 2.0, the better Tank, the Tank for the people, ALL the people.

Where Derrick was baffled by skilled fighters, Tank was afraid of them. While Derrick admired female athletes, Tank feared that their success would taint his place in the world. Tank became mean because he could be, Derrick became tough because he had to be. Tank was always a bully, Derrick was always himself. Lewis all the way

i agree and change my vote
