Nice tribute video doc. They showed the TUF finale on friday i think with Tanner vs Grove, man Evan took a serious beating in that fight but he never quit. I mean he was good back when Hughes was in his prime, now the Hughes era is pretty much over and hes getting Knocked out and submitted left and right. Tanner was never to Hughes level even back then, so now you would expect him to get destroyed in the 1st round, but he doesnt. He goes the distance with a guy whos 6′6 at the MW div, over 10 years younger, stronger, faster and alot more skilled at every aspect of the game than Evan.

That guy had so much heart it was coming out his armpits, its a shame we wont get to see Evan fight anymore.
