Former UFC Champion Evan Tanner Has Died in the Desert.
September 9th, 2008 by Ben MorenoLast night I was hanging out with some friends when I suddenly got a text message from my other friend with “Evan Tanner died.” I was shocked!
I immediately went online to do some research and different sources said that a body was found in the desert and was believed to be UFC fighter Evan Tanner.
Then a hearty situation turned into a quite time of mourning and disbelief.
I liked Evan Tanner. I have watched most of his fights in the past and I always liked him. He was a calm and collective guy but was a very tough fighter. I remember watching him win the middleweight championship in UFC 51.
I never got the opportunity to meet Evan in person but I am confident he was a great person. The interesting thing about how he died is that he died in the desert. My friends and I go out to the desert all the time and this event will make us think twice about safety.
Evan will most definitely be missed.
Good Bye.
