Former UFC middleweight champion Evan Tanner went out into the desert and never came back…

Always enjoyed watching him fight and was said to see his fighting career go downhill like it did.
Every time someone with a moderate degree of celebrity dies under the age of 40, it seems like it’s someone involved in some kind of combat sport.
Does UFC, and pro wrestling, attract self-destructive personalities?
My heart broke during his post fight interview after dropping the split decision to Grove recently. He had this baffled and disappointed look on his face and just said, "maybe I’m gettin’ too old . . . "
You will be missed, Evan. I wish you could’ve gotten your life straight and been happy. You were a true warrior.
