Tank pulled out of Bas Rutten Fight

Hey guys hows it going.
I was just watching the post fight interview with Bas Rutten and he said after Kimo pulled out tank pulled out then wes sims then he fought warpath.

But the question is how come Tank Abbott didnt take this fight and then decide to be in Warpath's corner.
I think it would of been a great fight. Outcome would of still been the same Bas winning but can anyone elaborate on this ?

I have a better question, why did you start off your post with "Hey guys hows it going"?

It would be stupid to have Bas vs. Tank without anytime to promote it, Tank's purse just wasn't worth the payoff I'm guessing. Tank can actually draw fans and ppv buys believe it or not.

Just a thing i do, im not a fan of Tank at all i think he is bad for the sport especially in a UFC doco what he was in but i think Bas is a great guy and for a 40+ guy he still has it, hes up there in my top 5.

Damn, that's some funny shit.

The question, th origianl one, is a good one. I'd think Tank would have more balls than to pull out for no reason. He always talks anout fighting anyone, anytime. I would have much rather seen Bas kick Tank's ass.
