In an exclusive interview with Bloody Elbow, Wade laughed: “Yeah, ‘Tank’ was fighting Frank Martin, and I just so happened to mention that Frank was not necessarily a natural southpaw.

“Stuff like that, those are memories for me, those are once-in-a-lifetime things. Any opportunity I get to do anything like that, it’s very fun, but I’m very blessed to live the life I live.”
