I wish we could rewind this forum to bring us back to days when warriors like you posted on here, people respected the sport, and people respected each either. Sadly, none of those occur anymore. RIP You have ignored this user.

^ To be brief, he was one of the most amazing, self-taught, inspirational fighters/philosophers in the UFC. He went on a personal voyage into the desert and the desert got him. But this isn't the place to go into it. Search for some of his fights, or his interviews, and you'll quickly see why he was and and is so loved. Not to mention he'd always talk to us completely on the level on the Underground as just like him, he had a great sense of humour as this post shows. Also he personally started an MMA gym for disadvantaged youths, inviting all with a hard-working spirit and a will to better themselves to come and join and live there for free out of his pocket. His personal philosophy was based around The Power Of One. He had his struggles, but was an amazing guy who was left a big impact on a lot of people. TANNER! You have ignored this user.

I followed Evan Tanner's UFC career from inception and was a big fan. He had a uniqueness that could not be readily identified. This evening I watched the documentary/film of his life, "Once I Was A Champion". This film provided great insight into a rare, yet truly great human being who merely struggled with his own profound awareness of "the human condition" which most in today's society do not reflect upon. He was and always will be a champion to me. RIP Evan. You have ignored this user.
