An island on a sea of garbage. Sunk too early.

wow what a great man!!!!! he’ll be missed.
so inspiring and a vision that more people need have.. i will miss him dearly and i did not even know the man.. he inspires me to be a better man..
i always liked him as a fighter, he was awsome.
at a time when the sport was not even noticed he was on top and always putting everything he had out in the octagon, but it was when i started to read his writing that i found that he was truly special. this man is a model of the person or peoples that will make this a better place….

Evan i miss you already!!! R.I.P. we all love you…

greypoet Says, in 9-11-2008 at 19:04:41 from 66.183.4.131

wow… if you’re not a continuity junkie, that was a powerful bit of insight….it jumped around quite a bit and had it’s pauses for thought, but I thought that lent to it’s over all feel. I like what he had to say about being able to speak and be heard and the importance of being aware that your words are powerful and should not be thrown out there if you don’t truely feel what you’re saying on a core level.

Well Evan, looks like you got your voice out there with this segment. It’s a bit of a shame that such words need to be followed by death to have a longer lasting impact on people for the most part, but at least it’s out there.

kingsoli Says, in 9-11-2008 at 19:43:45 from 66.8.162.167

his personality reminds me of that movie “into the wild”. eerily the dying kind of the same way as the main character in the movie.

Mute Says, in 9-11-2008 at 21:48:54 from 74.129.211.64

Best videos ever posted on this site.

I was a big fan of Evan before seeing this and now I’m an even bigger fan after.. and probably a better person for having seen it.

He showed that this isn’t a neanderthal sport that there are brilliant, kind hearted men who fight in the cage.

ymbsnakeeye Says, in 9-11-2008 at 22:04:08 from 70.174.167.87

What can I say about someone who makes me speechless. He truly educated himself on the world and he was a better person for it.

Jables Says, in 9-11-2008 at 23:29:28 from 68.146.99.57

After seeing these videos i feel like making my life goal to help finish his dream, he got stopped early and his job wasn’t finished.. I felt that everything he said i have thought to myself many times before…. I felt a real connection to the way he thinks, this man may be the first person i met that actually thinks on a similar level to myself. RIP let us hope that these videos may someday help to change the world, i know it has already changed the few who have seen it.

dannito Says, in 9-12-2008 at 00:14:28 from 96.232.245.76

what a great man…he will be missed..

Zuke Says, in 9-12-2008 at 00:33:53 from 72.140.67.60

There is an afterlife as we are all made of energy and energy doesnt die. But God is all made up BS to control society.

FokaiKid Says, in 9-12-2008 at 00:55:14 from 202.151.65.151

you know, like some of those who posted previously, i’ve found myself traveling this path…i’ve started reading certain things, encountering certain people, and overall just trying to learn about the world…this video is just another motivator in striving to make the world a better place…

if you think about the realities of many americans (evan touched on this regarding the materialism) it’s pretty fucking sad. what’s important to them and what constitutes being a “prodcutive member of society” is how much money you have/spend. as evan said, and i’m paraphrasing, “am i not successful because i didn’t contribute to the gross national product”. Capitalism, while great in theory, has been heavily influenced by greed making it horrible in practice. Consumerism runs this country and it’s a damn shame. There is more to the world than capitalism and counting the dollars as they come in. Thank you Evan for your inspiring words. I honestly feel like I was destined to see this as it pushes me further down the path I’m on.

What a hippie.

RFT Says, in 9-12-2008 at 02:54:00 from 75.153.113.107

Sad to realize that his words only got out after his death… I really liked him before these vids… he was someone different than all the other fighters, each time before, during, after a fight. i like him even more now, to know that someone is really so deep behind all the toughness in fighting. RIP Evan Tanner

supersuper Says, in 9-12-2008 at 03:38:33 from 129.101.27.227

He said some cool things, but I think now’s kinda the wrong time to look back and emulate him. He kinda fucked up bad.

Wasn’t he in super gambling debt and stuff?

Also, about him being like the Into The Wild guy, that guy died by being a ‘tard, too. Don’t be a ‘tard.

Great White Says, in 9-12-2008 at 04:53:48 from 66.183.97.120

Believe in your self and you don’t need to follow any myths.

The myths man made for the powers to use and abuse to control the masses.

Be Free Evan

R.I.P.

calizmo Says, in 9-12-2008 at 07:04:07 from 24.89.229.247

R.I.P. Tanner. I feel bad that I never paid much attention to him as a fighter. But I must admit, I had to fight some tears waching this. I will always remmember this wise man.

Simon Says, in 9-12-2008 at 07:55:50 from 88.178.180.108

Evan was a kind of a shy guy, and as a lot of shy people he was very sensitive about what was going on around him. In psychology they say that most people with a beard are trying to hide and protect themselves from outside agressions. I think he had this kind of “weakness” that let him caught with alcool and mind issues… But at the same time he was brave and generous. Rip

ps : pardon my bad english

London Jones Says, in 9-12-2008 at 08:56:53 from 86.133.49.38

prizim Says, in 9-12-2008 at 10:36:00 from 216.141.213.131

delusions of grander? …

Ctr Alt Kill Says, in 9-12-2008 at 11:52:22 from 12.168.211.3

I’d love to see someone edit some of his great moments in the cage with his philosophy in this video. Rest in peace, bro.

godlywarrior Says, in 9-12-2008 at 12:14:14 from 70.54.247.170

hey zuke…if we are all just energy and there is no God..who made the energy..we all have a sense of being and we all have a conscience. If evolution were true ..it would be survival of the fittest. when someone wrongs you, you feel wronged or hurt..why..because inherant in every man is the rule of law of right and wrong. it is writen on all our hearts some just become numb from ignoring that inner voice that says ..that’s wrong connduct. what is bs is that the elite in this world has tried to abolish truth. evolution makes men without purpose. God gives purpose. this is a highly oranized and effiecent universe that shows intelligant design not chaos or random chance..This man says allot of amazing things. if you look in the bible, it says allot of those same things. Do unto others, and love your neibour as yourself. truly if we all followed are true hearts and not the masks we wear or the filters through which we respond in life, this earth would be full of harmony and unity. God bless you all in your journey in life.. Christ did die for men to be free and find purpose.

very inspirational

Aongie! Says, in 9-12-2008 at 18:32:48 from 86.41.136.128

Sorry but “god” never died since he never even excisted in the first place! R.I.P Evan Tanner you will always be remembered for reasons inside the octagon and outside the octagon as shown in this video…

DeLaSeoul87 Says, in 9-12-2008 at 19:02:27 from 67.167.180.122

Reminded me of JFK when he said people need to do a 180, and not ask what the world can do for you, but what you can do for your fellow man.

It’s incredible to just watch and listen to him, he seems so at peace with himself.

Steamer Bean Says, in 9-12-2008 at 23:54:56 from 70.169.216.163

He was a good dude. Obviously he had released himself from the burdens of society, so perhaps it was time for him to move on? Nice to see so many people paying their respects. I really don’t appreciate some of the negative comments, please show some respect for the dead. You don’t have to agree with his beliefs, but please keep your negativity to yourselves this one time.

RiccoSuavve Says, in 9-13-2008 at 03:22:26 from 67.162.187.171

man that guy is great and itleast he got his word out to us

TC Says, in 9-13-2008 at 06:31:08 from 217.119.47.108

Damn, it’s always the good guys that die. If it’s some asshole he or she will survive almost anything and live to be old.

Tommy Says, in 9-13-2008 at 14:38:12 from 88.81.132.126

Good fighter, interesting guy and a good man.

slavekarmaat12 Says, in 9-14-2008 at 18:40:40 from 96.225.222.81

love him, i’m a big fan, wanted him to win the championship again, but what a blabber mouth, talkin’ about verbal diarrhea. talked about being heard and people will listen to what he has to say if he’s a champion for 2 hours. but still love him

stove6 Says, in 9-15-2008 at 21:15:33 from 66.137.150.65

godlywarrior got it right. We are not just a ‘random accident’ and yes, Jesus Christ (God in the flesh) DIED for you so that you could have eternal life. Evan would have wanted you all to know this.

mma goal Says, in 9-16-2008 at 17:43:55 from 78.2.93.226

he was great fighter and great man.i hope future mma champions would learn from evan how they can become great people
