Last 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.
