(Props: Sherdog)
We’ve already shown you the epic Ken Shamrock/Shamu the Whale match from last Friday’s Wargods event, and at long last, here’s the night’s other headlining bout, Tank Abbott vs. Mike Bourke. The comedy starts even before the bell rings. Even though Bourke was 8-11-1 coming into the fight, the ring announcer, perhaps thinking that what he was seeing on his notecards was a typo, declared The Rhino’s record to be 18-11-1. And you gotta love the lady-commentator’s mock-enthusiasm at the 4:00 mark: "I wanna see it go the distance! I wanna see it go the distance! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!" The fight itself ends after just 29 seconds, following two point-blank rabbit punches from Tank. Awesome. Speaking of which, here’s how Ken Shamrock‘s weaselly little brother Frank described the Wargods show on his Yardbarker.com blog:
What, and rob us of the Ken/Tank superfight we’ve been waiting for since 1995?
After the jump: FranklyWashedUp on the UG unearthed this enlightening 2006 video of Chael Sonnen‘s training and his life outside the cage, which includes real estate, a proud mother, and a hot girlfriend. Money line: "Even if I thought I could get a submission, I’m not laying underneath a grown man with my legs spread on worldwide TV. Some guys subscribe to that theory, but I’m a Republican, and we don’t do that." Hear that you jiu-jitsu faggots?!

it was kinda nice to see ken and tank finally get a win.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:18
Wargods, where MMA has-beens go to die.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:18
So does Chael think Royce Gracie is gay and a democrat?
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:21
Ken vs Royce should fight on the UFC 100 under-undercard.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:32
nice, the only punches he threw were to illegal head strikes. what a great main event and co main event. did the announcer say "someones losing streak must end here." before the fights started?
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:33
Demian Maia by " We-don't-do-that-plata " round 1 , Fuck A Abott.....
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:33
How scared do you think those guys were in the front row when Tank pushed that other big guy up to the cage? For a second I thought that it was going to give out under all that weight! Geezz.... I just kept hearing Elephant nosies in my head during that fight.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:35
Fastest white man alive? I thought that name was given to Kalib Starnes, no?
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:36
Kalib isn't fast, he just fights in reverse.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:37
Chael Sonnen's girlfriend is indeed very hot.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:37
whos the she-announcer? she has sexy time voice...kinda
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:37
Have you ever felt embarrassed watching something that you werent not even there to witness live??? That is kind of what I felt watching Tank and Ken in their fights. ALthough I wasnt there, I "felt" the embarassment from my living room in front of my pc. SAD!!
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:38
mccain wouldnt do be underneath a man with his legs spread on national tv. but he did get butt fucked by a black democrat in front the whole world.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:38
Wait, a WRESTLER is making gay/BJJ jokes? Really? On a gay scale of 1 to 10, BJJ is a 7.5-8, olympic style wrestling rates a solid 10/10
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:39
on that note. obama does have just about the whitest crossover i've ever seen
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:42
tank needs to stop moving around so much before the fight. all that pacing must tucker him out.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:45
I hope Maia submits him with a scissor hold.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:46
It bugs me that guys like Sonnen are tough...look at that guys lifestyle. People like that pronounce douche as (Dow-shh). What a dowshhbag.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:47
What is next a 4 man tournament? Tank and Ken, with the addition of Skip Hall and Ron "The Black Dragon" van Clief. For those of you that do not now who Skip and Ron are...... -Ron fought at UFC in 1994, at age 50....making him 65 today -Skip was the oldest mma fighter that just retired this past year, Skip is ALSO 65 today.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:49
Chael Sonnen better watch out for the Demian Maia of the night...
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:51
He's a republican, so he will cheat to win, fuck everything up, make everyone hate him, and the gracefully make his exit.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:52
SORRY for the rant and rambling but, I got as much respect for Ken as the corn from my morning's bowel movement. What I really wanted to say is that....I would be willing to bet and put out money on Miguel Torres. And that is Torres fighting BOTH Ken and Tank in the cage AT THE SAME time. 135 lbs worth of a real fighter up against nearly 600 lbs of pumice
Tue, 02/17/09 - 01:56
Dang, I really wanted to see Tank drop someone with a clean shot... TO THE FACE!!! Not to the back of the head. Even in victory, he looked bad... I'll just go watch Tank vs Matua for the 9,052,390th time.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 02:01
Seriously, how many fights do you think there were in the parking lot after this thing? 40? 50?
Tue, 02/17/09 - 02:06
what a fag..."dar dar i dont do tha cuse im a republican" Shut the fuck up Chael, i was a fan and now you gotta get all matt hughes on us and start poppin off with politics. I hope Demian Mae (which a raging grown man hard on) triangle chokes th shit outa Chael. Howd that make for worldwide t.v.?
Tue, 02/17/09 - 02:08

LOL at the commentators openly mocking the physique and conditioning of both fighters. Also, I think that "lady commentator" wasn't always a lady.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 02:22
Anyone else catch the part of yesterday's UFC-a-thon on Spike? During a couple of highlight knockout reels of Tank's it shows him using the same "club the back of the head" technique. Its his signature submission move. HAHAHAHAHAHA
Tue, 02/17/09 - 02:25
I guess Chael prefer it from behind, cause he definitely has something up his ass.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 02:30
How is that a victory for Tank and not a DQ or NC? Knock a guy out with a strike to the back of the head seems dangerous, or is that just a UFC rule and not a commission rule???
Tue, 02/17/09 - 02:51
tank abbott and ken shamrock have more in common than they think. lets take a look shall we? firstly, both are washed up, old geezers; who continue to trudge on with their once noteworthy careers. secondly, both are wild game poachers; who thoroughly enjoy preying on rare species. once they've intimidated the poor foe, they smite their adversary with a deadly weapon, whether it be a harpoon for a while, or a blast from a rhino gun. thirdly, both have the stamina of a collapsed lung smoking individual. fourthly, both have a chin that is as delicate as nitroglycerin. and fifthly, nobody gives a flying shit about them these days except for themselves. not even ken's brother can endorse such an abysmal event...and that's saying a lot considering those two were supposed to square off for the most epic battle ever conceived in mma history. though sadly, it appears as if the haggard rhino poacher tank abbott will have the esteemed privilege of fighting against the white whale harpooner ken shamrock ...now if you excuse me, i need a drink
Tue, 02/17/09 - 02:52
the battle for the deadliest rare game poacher on the planet awaits
Tue, 02/17/09 - 03:15
i hope war gods continues, and only gets more! out of prime fighters, for one last chance (or paycheck), this is the future home for tim sylvia, mark coleman, kevin randelmen, cro cop, jens pulver, don frye, jermy horn, pedro rizzo, shoot bring back royce even. i know it won't happen but if these old guys still wanna fight, they should fight agenst people who wont send them to the emergancy room, and have them eating out of a tube. oh and they should have shorter rounds, like i said they're old!
Tue, 02/17/09 - 03:24
"So does Chael think Royce Gracie is gay and a democrat?" Well isn't he?
Tue, 02/17/09 - 03:27
Good thing he's a Republican and not some faggot like Larry Craig, Ted Haggard, Mark Foley, and Dick Cheney's kids.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 03:36
Sucks that the video cut off right before Chael met Chris Hansen.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 03:51
Damn guys! I think I should go to Wardogs! It looks like a great challenge for me in my flowering career! I'll take my chicken legs that way!
Tue, 02/17/09 - 04:04
Ken vs. Tank...Blah, I think you guys are missing the most important match up that could come from this Bo Cantrell vs Mike Bourke. We can see who takes the weaker shot before crumpling to the mat.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 04:06
CanadianProduce is a queer and banned for life no queers needed on mma forums go get fcked in the ass by a gang of niggers like your life long dream. Chael is a real man but has very little chance versus Maia.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 04:08
Today Wargods announced their new AARP division.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 04:13
WTF! How can you get a knockout victory with TWO illegal punches to the back of the head? How is that legal? Hey Tank, why don't you just punch your next opponent in the nads and then stick your fat fucking fingers in his eye socket. Sorry if I'm old school and still like to see a FAIR fight. Where was the WAR GODS referee? What a bullshit event . . .
Tue, 02/17/09 - 04:15
shouldn't that be an NC or DQ? wtf?
Tue, 02/17/09 - 04:23
Both those fat fucks Ken and Tank fought took dives and the color announcer is a retarded whore. Worst fucking show. Ever.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 04:34
I hate Chael Sonnen, I'm glad Babalu made his bitch-ass tap.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 04:44
I hope Maia chokes him out via tea bag. That's karma.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 04:59
The she-beast interviewing Tank looks like she could give a good rub-n-tub on my meaty bone.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 05:09
It barely looked like a legit KO. I would not be surprised at all if I found out that fight was a work. He went down really clean and was clearly not out on the ground, when he grabbed his head... Maybe he was dazed. I am not calling a work, but I would not be surprised... Wargods did have to have those fights end up as wins for the Tank-Ken 'superfight'.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 05:12
The ring girl was fucking hot!
Tue, 02/17/09 - 05:54
what is the name of the song at the beggining of the Chael Sonnen vid?
Tue, 02/17/09 - 06:09
sonnen is a fuckin fool. I hope Maia subs him from his back and then throws on a obama hat while he talks rogan through the replay
Tue, 02/17/09 - 06:22
I agree. Leave all that nut licking for those faggott democrats. There so dumb, they still blame Bush for the economy. Read the news you dumbasses
Tue, 02/17/09 - 07:00
I'll show her a fucking Whang.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 07:51
Is it me or was anyone else waiting for Chael to ask someone to pass him the Grey Poupon? He is indeed a dowish.
Tue, 02/17/09 - 08:51
hit in the back of the head DQ?
Tue, 02/17/09 - 09:00
Chael Sonnen is pure douche! I can't even count how many fights I've seen where he screams like a girl when put in a submission, hoping that his opponent will loosen the hold so that he can get out. Now, that's a fag move...
Tue, 02/17/09 - 11:48
It was Jennifer Alcorn. She is a retired boxer.
Wed, 02/18/09 - 03:02
there really was no muscle memory at all in that fight
Wed, 02/18/09 - 09:46
I heard Bourke was paid not to take it to the ground.
Wed, 02/18/09 - 09:55
It was nice to see TUF Guy interviewing Tank there at the end.
