geneticfreak Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 By the way... Evans vs. Forrest na! Screw Lyoto!? He should finish a fight first! KO or Sub somebody not win by points! TUF 1 vs TUF 2! That would be a big draw for the UFC! Not Forrest vs. Lyoto?! Come on... Yah I think Machida got screwed on this one. tsk tsk. :thumbsdownsmiley: Quote Link to comment
Olympus Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 But then again Evens vs griffin would sell more than Grifin vs machida. Quote Link to comment

Larry Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 It is a shame that in this society we've been taught to judge a man's worth by what he owns instead of who he is. Everything is surface, and so few look beyond it. A man will sell his soul, he will lie, cheat and steal, for money. If he has it, he can buy respect. Wear the right clothes, drive the right car, have the right friends, that's all that matters. Our lives are consumed in a selfish, self absorbed quest for possessions, the latest and the best in a never-ending cycle until the day we die. We forget what it means to be truly human. We forget the things that really matter. We lose the magic of what life should be. I won't live by rules that make no sense to me. - Evan Tanner Quote Link to comment
geneticfreak Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I won't live by rules that make no sense to me. - Evan Tanner And yes that he did. RIP champ. A lot of people thought you'd still have another run at your title but instead we now hope you're in a better place than this. Quote Link to comment
SevenZeroFive Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 ...at least he's gonna be embarking on a whole new adventure. right when he posted on his blog about his desert trip, and his admission that worse comes to worse he could die out there, i was worried. i hoped for the best, but unfortunately hope wasn't enough to save him this time. i'll tip some gin for you Evan, & I'll do so with Metallica's "Wherever I May Roam" on the background, the story of Evan Tanner's life... "anywhere i roam, where i lay my head is homecarved up on my stone, my body lies but still i roam" RIP, Evan. Save us a place up there, we'll catch up on your next roadtrip... Quote Link to comment

Larry Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I originally wasn't a Tanner fan, i thought he was run of the mill in fact. But that was before I saw TannerXFranklin man that was something else, this guy would never give up no matter what and then I read some of his blogs there really is something more to Tanner than his in ring exploits.

sho munaki Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Just sad news about the passing of Evan Tanner. While he wasn't an elite fighter in the manner of an Anderson Silva, Tito Ortiz, or Randy Couture, he nevertheless was a former UFC Middleweight Champion. I just hope that he has now found the inner peace that he was struggling to find in his life. R.I.P. Evan Tanner Quote Link to comment
hardtohandle Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I'snt Machida gonna fight Thiago Silva!? Well I never was a Iceman fan, and who thought Chuck was invincible?! I guess only UFCnuthuggers do coz Rampage whooped his Ass twice. Think his considering retirement already, better go out now kesa malaos pa sya and people starts to forget Him!? Baka mag ala Ken Shamrock sya!?! Huwag naman sana... :thumbsdownsmiley: Thiago withdrew from his fight with Machida because of back injury... And here we go again with the nuthugging thing, lol @ those who believe in nuthugging, that is so sherdoggish, hehehehe! sherdog.com would be very proud to know that nuthugging is alive and well in some people's mind, heheheh! Im not a big fan of the Iceman but I do believe he was invincible, or should I say, "nearly invincible" (I think this is the apt term). Yes, he may not be invincible as what "purists" may say, but his place in MMA can never be denied. For a one-dimensional fighter to hold the LHW belt the longest, so far, is something. And his records speak for itself, first things first... And I wont put too much premium on that KO by rampage in the octagon because it was a controversial one, but that is another story and that is just me. The only convincing win I see against Liddell (barring any controversy), before he was KTFOC by Evans, was the side choke by Jeremy Horn, though he didnt tapped on that... Pero dapat talagang mag-retire na sya... for an ace player to be beaten in his own game is something. He will never be the same again because of that brutal KO. And the youngblood at 205 lbs. are raring to come out and play, it will be very difficult for him to fall in line for a shot at the title, especially now that he is old and broken... As with Lyoto Machida, seems like his title shot is as elusive as his style, heheheh! He should have been the challenger now, talaga nga namang "What a difference a single punch can make", heheheh! Also, UFC is also favoring their products, kitang-kita naman eh... And it is clearly an injustice para kay Machida. But it may actually work in his favor... Ano kaya ikinamatay ni Tanner? Snake bite of scorpion sting? Quote Link to comment
fatso8 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 dapat ilaban si Bisping kay Hendo. Quote Link to comment
_eRon_ Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 dapat evans vs michida muna kung sino manalo yun ang lalaban kay forrest, or dapat sa same event un rematch ni rampage at ni forrest sa laban ni evans at ni michida, di ba? corny na binigyan nila kagad ng title shot si evans tsk tsk tsk Quote Link to comment
SevenZeroFive Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Ano kaya ikinamatay ni Tanner? Snake bite of scorpion sting? ^ heat exhaustion. right where his body was found, temperatures could go as high as 115 to 118 fahrenheit. the authorities found his bike first, and it was abandoned. most likely the bike ran out of gas, so he tried to walk to where people are. unfortunately, a couple of miles from his bike that's where he was found dead. no official autopsy yet, but heat exhaustion is most likely the reason why he died.
