he just says there is nothing to the rumors and Tanner hasn't signed the paperwork yet to even fight.
^^Do you know what happened? Will Tanner be fighting at all?

Yep, Tanner appears to be out for now...
I was reading somewhere that there was a lot of doubt about the report because nobody has seen or heard that he's training anywhere at all here lately...
The Chute-Boxe usa website had a forum until 2 months ago and had tons of pictures of Tanner training and then poof...the forum is gone and no more word about Tanner.
The only info Tanner has on his website is about him and that boat. I guess he thinks he can pick up fighting whenever he wants.
First Tanner wanted his belt back and dissapeared on some sort of "spiritual" journey.
Then he wanted a hosue where he trained up and coming fighters that had problems and he stopped that after the first bad run in.
The he sells his house and will train full time again.
Now he is just messing with some old beat up boat.
He may fight again, but I don't think his heart is in it.
Too bad.
wow where has he been for the last 2 years?
Some sort of nasty injury, I think his back?
Did he hurt it vs Franklin or in training?
I think he has always had a ton of injuries and then picked up some during the Franklin fight.
If I remember right he had his back "repaired" after the Franklin fight.
I believe he has some sort of degenerative spine disorder that he had surgery for. The doctors actually didn't think he was going to be able to fight at all anymore, but he was pretty determined.

Am I crazy or wasn't Eastmam accused of throwing a fight way back when? Then he was banned from the UFC and became a prison security guard or something.
It would be nice to see Ken Flo and Stevenson fight for the le. Let Bj and Fisher work their way in their too.
Florian just had a le shot against Sherk...
BJ doesn't need to work his way in anywhere whether at LW or WW in my opinion. He's on a LW mission...his next fight should be for the le...
It's obvious Bj is good enough and will take it, but i dont think it's fair to just give him a le shot after he's lost 2 of his last 3 and 3 of his last 5. He beat a has-been Jens Pulver in his only recent LW bout. Its clear he should get a shot but IMO you should win in the weightclass(he has but not recently) before you get a le shot. Make it maybe Stevenson or Huerta..i dont know..i just think BJ should win at least 2 recent fights at LW before he gets a le fight.
Florian just had a le shot against Sherk...
BJ doesn't need to work his way in anywhere whether at LW or WW in my opinion. He's on a LW mission...his next fight should be for the le...
but IDK your probably right..he deserves to be the champ and will be.
Huerta? Dude...come on!! Huerta has fought nothing but UFC-newbs. He's proven nothing. They're protecting him and building him into their Hispanic poster-boy. Hopefully he gets choked out by Crane...
BJ isn't a true 170 lb fighter. He destroyed GSP before gas'ing. He was beating Hughes for 2 rds before popping a rib out (or gas'ing, whichever you believe). He lost to Machida at 205 lbs...and he beat Renzo. He showed what everybody needed to see against Pulver...that he's in shape and taking things seriously at 155 lbs. He's first in line for a le...has to be...
true dat but stevenson better be the one he's fighting...and if if kenflo beats din he better be in line.
Agreed...
Florian - Thomas sets up the next guy in line I think. Kenny has showed a lot of improvement since he fought Sherk...
If Stevenson loses to Pellegrino I can see the Florian - Thomas winner getting the shot now. Pellegrino is a tough test for Joe, but not as well known as the others...
Rumor has it BJ was to fight Sherk for the le in November, but now with Sherk's positive test they don't know what's going to happen.
That’s a correct rumor but there is no way the fight can happen as it stands. While Sherk is appealing he is in fact suspended for a year.
More than likely the belt will be up for grabs with BJ as a contender.
GFC for tonight was cancelled...Edwin Dewees didn't make weight and Mark Kerr had an unhealthy blood pressure. Were left with only 4 fights after 4 were cancelled...oops.
and I added some other matchups on the Kimbo vs Tank CFFC card...a couple intriguing guys there...
add Cage Rage 23 on Sept 22...
-Gary Turner vs. Julius Francis
-James Zikic vs. Vitor Belfort
-Jean Silva vs. Masakazu Imanari
-Alex Reid vs. Zelg Galesic
-Mark Weir vs. Paul Daley
-Mustapha Alturk vs. Tengiz Tedoradze
-Ed Smith vs. Roman Webber
-Xavier Foupa Pokam vs. Pierre Guillet
-Domonic Ostich vs. Neil Wain
-Paul Kelly vs. Ch’e Mills
-Jason Barrat vs. Lee Doski
Not a bad card at all...Galesic, Daley, & Silva really bring it...
