Longtime UFC commentator Joe Rogan is confident that 'Tank' Abbott could still cause problems for the promotion's top heavyweights.

"I think Tank Abbott would be successful now. Because heavyweight is the shallowest division at the moment. Could he handle guys like Ciryl Gane or Tom Aspinall? Probably not. But he didn't perform well against guys like Maurice Smith, who were truly elite strikers of that era, before either. But Tank Abbott was a damn big guy. Huge, powerful guy with insane knockout power who always went into fights," Rogan said in the latest episode of his podcast.
