Very sad news that former UFC middleweight champ Evan Tanner died in the desert at age 37.

RIP He was a very entertaining fighter. So sad to see he died.

May he find what he was looking for on the other side of the veil.

Tanner certainly knew how to take a licking in the cage. He always seemed to be the guy that up and coming MMA stars had to fight early in their careers. Too bad he had to go to a desert to find his cleansing, I can think of a person and a holy book he could have gone to for that. Rest in peace.

I only saw his last two fights. Even though he lost he showed lots of heart. Tanner had problems with alcohol and looked older than his 37 years.

He was a true warrior. RIP.

My condolences to his family, friends & fans. He certainly battled many demons & I hope (as G301 alluded to) he somehow found Christ before his passing. He was a true MMA warrior & will be missed.

That sucks Tanner was always one of my favorites. He was a fan who worked hard to make it big he will be missed.
