Brutal.

He looks ok considering.

I was unaware he had considerable wrestling experience.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_Abbott#

Abbott began practicing amateur wrestling when he was nine years old, and continued through high school where he also played football. He then continued wrestling in college, where he was a NJCAA All-American.

Also...

UFC management only allowed him to fight from UFC 6 onwards, after Royce Gracie had ceased fighting in UFC. Art Davie would later confirm the Gracie family used its input in the management to limit fighters with amateur wrestling backgrounds, like Abbott himself, from entering the first events.

They wanted nothing to do with wrestlers for a reason.

Fake weights wouldn't bend the bar like that, so I believe it's real.

With Brad Castleberry, when he adjusts the weight on the bar [among other things], you can tell it's nowhere near the weight claimed.
