I news this week has been pathetic, it' like the "flags" have been lowered to half mast across the board, but hey, its Friday, I hope the MMA news boards light back up soon.

Its pretty cool, like a week of silence for Evan. I noticed the UFC showed a RIP picture of Tanner at the beginning of Unleashed this week, hopefully that wont be all they do though, be nice to hear a few words about him at UFN next week.

I had mas respect for Evan as a person and a fighter. I actually hated to watch him fight sometimes cause I didn't want to see him lose. I was really hoping he'd get a win over grove. This is sad, but what a way to go huh?..seems fitting. The sport has lost a real classy guy, a true diplomat of the sport. Good luck Evan wherever you are....you'll be missed. Maybe now he can be free from the demons he's been running from his whole life. Yeah put me int he not sure how I feel about this camp. I had mas respect for Evan as a person and a fighter.

I have always like and rooted for Tanner. He seemed like a really nice guy. I always enjoyed reading his blog, he was a really good writer. That is too bad. I have always like and rooted for Tanner.

I never thought I was so emotionally attached to the sport and its fighters until I heard this news and I felt like someone I knew personally had passed away. I think this news is so shocking to me because when you think about these guys, you almost hold them up to be invincible to a certain extent. Life really is fragile. This is horrible.

I still don't know how I really feel about it. I've been kind of in a funk ever since I read about it last night. Dont really even know why. I never met Evan or talked to him verbally, just via email and postal mail. Yeah its very sad. I still don’t know how I really feel about it.
