Former UFC champ Tammer passed?
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight champion Evan Tanner was found dead near Palo Verde, Calif. on Monday. He was 37 years old.
Tanner had trekked into the desert on a journey to “cleanse” himself, according to Douglas Vincitorio of Tanner’s management team. “He went out to the desert to do a ‘cleansing’ as he called it. Kind of like ‘Survivorman.’” These short trips were not new to Tanner, said Vincitorio. It is something that he has done numerous times over the years.
“What we were told is that (Sheriff’s officials who found Tanner) believe his motorcycle had run out of gas, so he went to walk out in like 115- to 118-degree heat,” Vincitorio said. “He was miles away from his camp. That’s where the helicopter found him. Right now, they just think that he succumbed to the heat.”

I think it’s sad that he died.
I think it’s said when anybody dies.
But I’m not going to drop my life to pity somebody just because they’re famous.
Especially if they’re famous for fighting.
well first off you got the wrong forum, this should be posted in the mma forum so don’t be suprised if boxing fan boys talk smack…
but regardless I’m very sad that Tanner has passed, he was a good fighter and a good guy from what I’ve read on him, I was never a big fan of his while he was fighting but that makes no difference now, I know he faced many of his demons and won so he should be looked at as an inspiration, if you’re a fan of mma fighting.
you should check out some responises on the mma forum they have some things on Tanner there…
Evan Tanner R.I.P.
wrong forum this is a boxing forum not a bum fighting championship forum.
Why is this in boxing? And yeah its sad
I think it’s great to go out into the wilderness and everything, but people should take safety precautions. Have a way of contacting someone and calling for help if they need it. Carry adequate water and a safety kit. Let’s everyone learn from this! People should not be afraid of going out into the wilderness alone, and should not criticize him for doing so, but safety precautions need to be taken.
