It is my pleasure at this time to not only bring up the YouTube internet sensation, but the guy that went from the streets to Elite. Two guys that are not only cage tested, but they're street certified, (first) Kimbo Slice.

KIMBO: What's up?

SHAW: Tell them whatever you want.

KIMBO: That's it.

SHAW: That's it. I hope you heard that, Tank. He said that's it for you and the reporters. So, Tank, take it away.

TANK: I'll tell you what's up. Kimbo's going to be on his back. This fight is going to last about as long as his interview opening did. ‘What's up’ is about how long it's going to take for him to end up on his back knocked out.

KIMBO: Did you have a 6?pack or 12?pack before you said something?

TANK: I don't drink beer. I can afford vodka.

KIMBO: OK, even better

SHAW: Tank, do you honestly believe you're going to knock Kimbo out?

TANK: I don't see it going any other way. I can do anything I want to him, but what fun is that? I like to knock people out.

SHAW: Do you think it's a short fight or do you think it's going to take a couple of rounds?

TANK: Doesn't matter. I can go 15 minutes holding my breath standing on my head. So it could be the 14th minute or the first minute, whenever he runs into one.

SHAW: How do you feel about fighting in Kimbo's hometown?

TANK: I kind of like that. I don't like beating up people in my hometown. I like to go to their hometown, so they can see what they're all about.

KIMBO: You better wear a pad with that cup, because I'm going to have you (blanking) blood, homie.

TANK: That sounds good. That's what it's all about.

QUESTION: Kimbo, what's it feel like to be fighting in your hometown in a sanctioned fight in front of what figures to be a sellout crowd on a SHOWTIME telecast that begins at 10 p.m.?

KIMBO: It's going to be different for me. I'm cool with it and I'm comfortable with it. I'm comfortable at the crib, so I'm looking forward to it.

QUESTION: Tank, how did you get your nickname?

TANK: When I was stomping around in the streets, they didn't have anything such as an MMA or cage fighting or anything like that. I showed up at the steps of the Ultimate Fighting and said, ‘Hey, I want to fight.’ And they said you have to be a black belt or something like that.

I said I just got out of jail for beating somebody up, in fact, a cop's son. Isn't this supposed to be about fighting? And they said, yeah, but you've got to have some kind of a black belt or something. And I said that's not what I'm about. I'm about fighting in the streets.
