Tanked "Tank" Answers Call to Fight
Friday, April 20, 2007
by Jim Page (jpage@sherdog.com)

LONDON, April 20 -- In a last-minute change, bar-room brawler David "Tank" Abbott has flown across the pond to replace Bob Sapp (Pictures), who was forced to pull out of his main event Cage Rage clash with Gary "Smiler" Turner due to personal reasons.

Looking softer around the mid-section than usual, Tank cheerfully confessed to have been drinking vodka when he got the call to fight, but promised a rough fight all the same.

Turner was not concerned by the swap of American brawlers, vowing to retain his original game plan and keep the fight standing. With both men fighting in their element, this bout is likely to produce some real fireworks inside Wembley Arena.

In other notable events during the photo call, Alex Reid (Pictures) stole the show by dressing as a ninja before his intense staedown with Murilo Rua (Pictures). Also, Tom "Kong" Watson mocked Xavier Foupa Poukam's reputation for eye-poking by donning some skiing goggles.
