Needs to be in mma hof
There needs to be a fighters union so that fans can directly sponsor fighters and fighters can have long term health insurance. Evan stood up to a giant. We have to carry his message forward.
Truly inspired and intrigued by Evan tanner really thankful for this documentary
Дети из дисфункциональных семей обречены на такую хуйню :(
Heartbreaking documentary yet thankful the time was taken to let us get to know the real Evan Tanner. Rest in peace brother.

"No one can do everything but everyone can do something"- Max Lucado
this man is my uncle.
Beautifully done. ET for life.
I didn't realize this doc was originally released in 2011. Not sure how I missed it this whole time. Great work
i dont like this guy.
Great job making this video. I truly enjoyed it. Take care
when i need strength i watch this
i would but theres 2 ads that are 2 minutes long every 2 minutes thats crazy !!
I thought Evan won that Kendall Grove fight too. I remember my roommates and I screaming at the TV .
Holy crap, I wasn't expecting that. IF that doesn't motivate somebody to do better than I have no clue what would work. Crazy story and such a crazy life. I do not remember hearing about such a Roller Coaster of a ride...
Great documentary to learn more about Evan Tanners life!
This man helped build the UFC very sad he never got spot light he should of when he passed away he should of been added into the UFC HALL OF FAM
Count five friends pn one hand. Brain damaged
I met Evan years ago in Amarillo. 87 and 88 he was the top wrestler. He was a very nice guy. Cheerful aditude.
Sonnen just came off like a wanker… What the fuck have you ever won?? 👎🏻 RIP Evan ❤!!
Right, kinda thought he was a bit of a douche bag in this documentary. Didn't really care for the stupid comment he made about everyone thinking Evan was sober when he died but he believed that wasn't the case.
Evan is one of my favorite fighters of all time. I still remember where I was when the news of his death broke. This documentary makes me like him even more. A true Warrior not just in the ring. RIP Champ
"Moses dies at the end of deuteronomy". Holy f?-@ spoilers Rich. Hahaha
Great story. Horrible production.
My thought is seeing Evan was so independent , he wouldn’t ask for help with alcoholism , maybe if he got so far out in the desert where Evan had no way to purchase alcohol , he would come back healed ,sad ending , but an amazing life adventure
Self-absorbed Narcissistic Ego driven and Manipulative Alcoholic
He wasn't a searcher or seeker. He was a runner. He was running from himself, but everywhere he went, there he was. Typical alcoholic behavior, unfortunately. My heart hurts for him.
Not sure why Chael is bashing a man with struggles
Wow - outstanding doc!
What a beautiful soul🙏🌎
Chael was taking it a bit too far. Not necessary.
jabroni still hasnt cleared that nose.
i will be unsub bing sonnen straight after this film
Evan’s story reminds me of Chris McCandless’ (Into the Wild) even though their stories have their own variations. Both asked deep philosophical questions, had been through some trauma and pain, and needed to take on challenges in the wilderness. A lot of people look at Chris McCandless’ story and take cheapshots at him without realizing that he too deliberately went into the wilderness without a map and concrete plan. This deliberately increased the stakes of the challenge. Remarkable human beings.
I still proudly wear my Team Tanner shirt.
SAD BUT STILL GREAT GUY!
Legend !
Thank you for sharing this.
I love boxing not into ufc or wrestling and have never heard of this guy but what a fantastic doco and really heart felt genuine guy! Its one of the best doco's ive seen in a while! Just a genuine guy with human floors like all of us! Thanks and love to his loved ones! God bless you all! I went through horrible drinking and heroin addiction but jesus tought me the truth! That is to help and treat others with respect and that takes your eye off the self pity we all feel! Life is not about self its about helping and treating others with love! The truth will set you free! Thats a fact! 🙏🩵🕊
Enjoyed watching Evan Tanner fight. Sad to see what he was going through and how it effected his friends and loved ones.
It's hard to explain but when you are a kid and you don't receive the love and affection from a mom a dad then you will have a hard way of showing love and affection and your feelings on the person that you love because how can you do something yourself if you never experienced it yourself.
Really enjoyed this doc
He's not stupid. I can tell by his grammar alone in his writing that he's not stupid.
I think there nuggets of brilliance in evans ramblings and chael knows it damn well too.... someday id like to see chael drop the act....he seems smart and likeable
He seems like a strange, kind and endearing guy. Unique for sure
So happy this finally got posted. Power of One 🙏 RIP Evan🙏🙏
It was very sad and of course Chael shits on his grave
Oh my god! Thank you for posting this!!! Even was my absolute favorite fighter ever!!! Rip wild man
Great doc.
Crazy to think Phil Baroni killed his gf & is locked up in a Mexican prison.
