They just said the same on mmaweekly radio.
Mmaweekly radio just confirmed it - waiting for law enforcement for the "official" confirmation.
Go to mmaweekly.com and click on the live radio link - they're on right now talking about it.
That's terrible. The guy has lived such a crazy life. Bummer.
I'm sorry. Anybody who knows about Evan Tanner and his life knows EXACTLY how something like this happen.
Please forgive if I sound insensitive.
Damn. He's always been one of my top, all-time favorite fighters. This is tragic.
Yeah...I have been following him since he got into MMA...the entire story is so Evan Tanner.
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.

Uh, well, uh...... Whoa
I've got $5 that says somehow the people who still oppose mma try to find a way to blame this on his profession and lead a renewed push to ban it.
It won't work, of course, but it makes me a little bitter to think of it.
I bet you're right
"The news was confirmed with Tanner’s manager, John Hayner, who said he learned just an hour ago that the body found was indeed Tanner. He was thirty-seven years old."
