Death by misadventure. His GPS tracks show that at the time of his death he was trying to return to his camp, and that he didn't just walk out into the desert to die. This documentary is excellent, thanks for posting. RIP Evan Tanner.
I literally came down here to post about his gps tracks and say that there is no way that he planned on not coming back. Thank you. Like me, you can read and don't believe that b.s.
I believe that Evan battled with social anxiety . The reason I say this is because I recognize his behavior in my self . I’m a loner and find it easier to self isolate with a book. When I was around others , I felt like I was in a mental prison and alcohol was the key to escape . It allowed me to express myself and show more emotion, also it seemed like people enjoyed being around me more . I’m not the best communicator in person but find that writing gave me more time to think of what I really want to say without the anxiety interfering. Anxiety can be debilitating and when you don’t want to impose on others , you suffer in silence .
@@WERONEfishing Sure they can be cruel but they can also be the exact opposite and it's wrong to exclude ourselves from that possibility. However, you could theoretically surround yourself with the latter kind and be choosy about who you socialize with.
i met Evan through an ex girlfriend he got me into training at TEAM QUEST in Gresham still today 3 mins from my house. he use to talk about getting a place having loots of people eating, sleeping, training doing everything together. watching him beat Terrell for title was amazing. RIP
I trained with Evan at team quest for a few months and he was one of the most amazing guys I ever met. He had a way of making me feel part of the team and it was an honor to be in his company. Rest in peace my friend 🖤
Look here the thing.... If you've ever struggled with alcoholism, personally or known someone, you can CLEARLY see what Evan was going through. You become unable to move forward in your life. Your life becomes stuck, as if trying to walk through almost settled concrete. In your mind you are an absolute victim, your been dealt a shifty hand, and there no war out. The depression that comes with addiction is unlike any other. Your entire world becomes self centered and selfish. Without help... you continue doing what you know. Which is feed the monkey, instead of feeding yourself. A program, sponsor, therapist... something! Anything to help pull you beck into life. It's sad Tanner wasn't around long enough to find and feel the very attainable miracle of sobriety.
True. I know several alcoholics and it’s been years of frustration and denial . One gets clean until reality hits and they go right back to the bottle .
@TheBlackCrayon77 that is one of the best ever descriptions of addiction I have had the privilege to read. Many thanks for your wisdom. I salute you 🙌🏻🙏🏻
I remember watching Evan when I was young and just starting Jiu Jitsu and watching MMA. He was amazing. One of the best to do it, esp being a self taught fighter (at first). I wish he could have stuck around, he had so much more to give to MMA and to Humanity. He could beat anyone, he just couldn't beat those demons. RIP Champ. You are remembered.
RIP Evan Tanner…..🙏🏼 I remember when this came out and i couldn’t wait to see it. Only the true Hardcore fans know about the Legends that spoke on Evan in this film and Trained with Evan on a regular basis. Evan Tanner at one time was viewed as one of the best MMA fighters. Some of his fights in the UFC were Legendary. He was always highly respected in the MMA Universe. His drive, dedication, determination and knowledge of the Sport took him to massive heights within the MMA universe. The Legend of Evan Tanner will live on Forever 💪🏻👊🏼
I'm not going to say that we knew each other, or that he would remember speaking with me if someone asked, but Mr. Evan Tanner and I had an email correspondence for some time through MySpace. For whatever reason, he was kind enough to answer my emails, and then he took the initiative to reach back out to me to ask about my progress. I had just started to compete in Muay Thai after college. I followed his blog as he travelled to places like Hawaii and the Deserts of the western US. When I read of his passing, it was a very strange feeling. This documentary came out recently, and I came across it this evening. Very strange time for me to come across this film. He was a great man.
Several times. Evan Tanner was one of my favorite fighters when I got into this game in the early 2000's because of his every-man story, teaching himself moves using tapes and winning. Now I'm a year older than he was upon his death and I learn a thing or two each time I come back to his words every few years.
Dude was my favorite fighter. Got to chat with him once on his website. Was inspired by his victory over alcohol. This video def. evoked some old emotions and reminded me of how much I truly do miss this guy.
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
Evan was one of the first fighters I really enjoyed following and trying to emulate as I started progressing. It was great because it coincided with the nascent of myspace and social media, so I would all follow all his updates and await his return to fighting with bated breath. I'm now the same age as Evan and it's definitely something you think about more often, the older you get. Thank you very much for the upload.
RIP Evan! I was a loner growing up and I still kind of am. I could relate to Evan so much! I competed and trained in mma while Evan was doing his thing. When i quit competing for the the first in my life I became a overnight alcoholic for 6 years. I gave that demon up. It screws your mind and body up do bad! Really wish he could of found therapeutic psychedelics like i did and did a 180 in my life. Its not for everyone but the ones like me it is, itll change you overnight! Itll find you! GODBLESS you Evan! See you when i get there!
I saw the trailer for this well over a decade ago. It was worth the wait. As an old-school MMA fan, I remember Evan's fights, along with his My Space journal and the day I saw the headline on MMA Weekly that he had passed. I'm grateful for this documentary to give me more insight into his journey as a person and what those around him thought of him. Thank you.
What an awesome documentary about a really interesting and misunderstood guy. Thank you for sharing this with us if anyone deserved to have their story told it was Evan
Only thing from this doc missing is any words spoken from his strength and conditioning coach that taught him old school wing chung to use alongside his own natural learned jui jit su from USA Stars a legends own gym under an Olympian Pat Burris from Oklahoma , Steve Miller that i personally trained with. ET for years there , yes he had his issues and demons with alcohol but I know one thing is he was a true warrior in spirit , an intellect in mind , and a will like a samurai to impose his will alone in order to win at times , I have witnessed it and personally trained with him for years , either way I am and will always be a Tanner fan , God bless his soul , God bless his friends and family , OGBobbyMFJohnson from OkC
I loved to watch him fight. I was really sad when he passed even though I didn’t know him personally, something about his life made a connection to mine. RIP Evan. You definitely made an impact on the world.
Loved Evan man, followed his career since damn near the start. Absolute legend and good soul. Wise beyond his years, so much so massively understood. He was trying to change the world for the better. Believe in the power of ONE. RIP Champ
RIP Champ. Reach out brothers, Jiu-Jitsu is here for you always. Too many people gone too soon. The person that wins a fight is whoevers battle buddy shows up first. Life is not meant to be battled alone, you will surely lose.
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
Ive been waiting for this documentary for a long time. Good work. Great to see a lot of familiar faces in it and shedding their perspective as we challenge our own perspectives in life...What is important. What we do. How we treat people. What message do we leave.
I feel like his story can be relatable to many who have been through addictions or alcoholism. And the lesson to me learned here is that without the spiritual healing aspect of getting clean you don't ever really fully recover. I wish that with all his intellect he had studied deeper into healing his past pain , the Bible , for me, is the only thing that ended up helping me fully recover and keep my sobriety
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.
Our childhood, very often unbeknownst to us, leaves marks we sometimes never identify. We fight our demons in many ways. Or at least we try. And at times It may appear as if we've won, but these things of seemingly unknown origin always find their way back into our psyche. I can relate to Evan in regards to that inner struggle. My goodness, this was hard to watch, but much needed. Kind regards from Ohio.
Rest easy Evan Tanner you will always be missed, thanks for the memories you were a true warrior, if the world had more people like you it would be a much better place for sure
i never seen him fight as i got into mma a bit later down the line but man i was gripped through this entire documentary. i am somewhat of a loner too. training has helped me recently (i post short videos on youtube). i really wish they never asked chael sonnen to be part of this film because he absolutely sucks, he had nothing good to say about evan. he rarely speaks sense as it is, but what he said about evan was very rude. i hope people say similar stuff about him when he is dead. just because u dont see eye to eye with somebody it doesent mean u should try and turn other people against them, from what i seen evan was a stand up guy who was very introverted and was also a deep thinker. i wish i had some of his fearlesness and i will now try to live life not being so scared and i will try and take risks as i am completely the opposite to tanner in that regard. maybe it stems from being scared of my dad.
I agree. Chael had nothing good to say about him. Even if he did have problems with him, was it necessary to say that Evan wasn't intelligent? I think Chael was jealous. He reeks of it.
I sat by him at some fights ringside in Utah and he was so great. I was an up and coming fighter and he gave me his time to give me advice etc. THE ENTIRE NIGHT of fights rather than watch the fights. I'll never forget him & HOW INCREDIBLE HE WAS. It's funny as I'm also into outdoor survival etc. He was amazing. God bless his loved ones. RIP EVAN TANNER!!!
Please do Urijah Faber. A legend and pioneer of MMA. I used to watch WEC every week before UFC took off with Dana, and Urijah Faber was amazing. He had so much heart he fought with 2 broken hands, throwing elbows against Mike Brown.
Hey, what a cool thing to stumble upon .. I remember Evan tanner in those early days…. When MMA was less a sport and more a martial arts and fighting tournament where no one even knew what could happen, what styles could work, for those fighters it was stepping into the great unknown
Was going to comment that Evan gave off a very Dennis Wilson-like vibe, troubled by alcoholism but eternally soulful - and that was even before I knew he had a sailboat, too. Dennis died tragically young, himself.
I met Evan in a bar in Oceanside, CA. I was sitting with some friends at the bar, and he was next to me. I didn't even know who he was. A guy next to Evan told me who he was, and i said ok. We talked to each other like human beings and had a great time. I enjoyed meeting and talking with Evan, not UFC Evan.
It messed me up when it happened, I remember talking to my boss about it, he responded with the scientific explanation of what happens, made me even more depressed.
His views on life and spirituality seem very intresting,shame we didnt get to see more of his journey r.i.p evan,🙏 Hearing about his anhedonia,and not even getting pleasure out of winning the world title ,shows he suffered with severe depression,self medicating with alcahol to,i have battled these problems myself,great documentary,really peels the layers of tanners life back .
Evan was a special dude... its a shame todays newer fans wont get to know him. Thank you for making this upload

People hating on his girlfriend but Evan was an alcoholic. Not a knock on him. Just a fact that it isn’t easy living with an Alcoholic for 7 years.
It makes me so sad can't believe this happened to Evan I watched all his fights he's missed he was a great guy ❤we miss him

Dude he was a drunk and probably on pills and stuff and he wasn't the smart deep person ppl or he pretended to be...
I agree. Chael had nothing good to say about him. Even if he did have problems with him, was it necessary to say that Evan wasn't intelligent? I think Chael was jealous. He reeks of it.
Im not sure what Chael gets out of talking shit about a dead guy. Randy Couture has always been a class act.
What did he say
I sat by him at some fights ringside in Utah and he was so great. I was an up and coming fighter and he gave me his time to give me advice etc. THE ENTIRE NIGHT of fights rather than watch the fights. I'll never forget him & HOW INCREDIBLE HE WAS.

Great doc, never knew his story. To have touched people as deeply as he did, seems like a successful life.
I hadn't heard of him till now.in a sad way I can identify. I liked what his sister said at the end.
I can't write.✌️
This gotta be an old doc but man it's great
Self taught and world class. A true legend!
He beat the brakes off phil bologna
It was personal
What a great fighter was,still remember him.
It messed me up when it happened, I remember talking to my boss about it, he responded with the scientific explanation of what happens, made me even more depressed.
His views on life and spirituality seem very intresting,shame we didnt get to see more of his journey r.i.p evan,🙏
