I really donât think Joe meant that a current Tank Abbott could beat lower level hvwts - I think he meant to say prime Tank could beat quite a few modern hvwts and I agree with him

Why did Tank decide a skinny dork in his old age?
He underwent a liver transplant because years of a hard-living lifestyle causing severe liver failure/damage.
The surgery was extremely complicated, he suffered multiple strokes (reports say over six), cardiac arrests (âdied 5 timesâ on the operating table), and spent 107 days in the ICU recovering.
This ordeal, combined with the transplant and post-surgery recovery, led to dramatic weight loss, he reportedly dropped about 100 pounds (from his fighting weight in the 250â300+ lb range down to a much slimmer frame). He also quit drinking as part of turning his life around.

Interestingly, research consistently shows that being mildly overweight often links to better outcomes than being thin or underweight.
BMI ~25-29.9 or sometimes up to ~30-32 tends to show the lowest mortality risk in many large studies and reviews. Some data suggest 27-28 for men and 31-32 for women (though this varies).
This is the âobesity paradoxâ in older adults where extra weight sometimes correlates with lower mortality risk, better survival and more healthy years.

30 year old Tank couldnât beat any of the top guys in his own era. At the end he was getting rocked by guys like Yoshida.

I know the article suggests Rogan meant if he came back now, but his actually quoted words donât suggest that.
Surely he meant prime tank deposited into current HW div
Also this could just be bad wording, but itâs incorrect at least the way it reads
It frames up that he beat the guys listed in UFC 1990s tournaments
Obv he didnât fight cabbage in ufc until 2003 (a loss) and the W was a couple years later in different org
