|  Question about Evan Tanner
Sorry if this has been answered or asked before, but where the hell has he been? Is he still activly fighting? I reallly enjoyed Tanner and thought he was easily top 10. I'd love to see him in the UFC again. Any info would be great, and again sorry if theres already thread on this.

i think he's over his alcoholism a little bit, but no one really knows except for him and the ones close to him. i see him every so often at the 24 hr fitness i work at here in Vegas. it's kind of a slower gym so he can be more incognito there. no one recognizes him except for a few of us MMA fans on the staff. he has a huge beard now, like grizzly adams LOL!

Always glad to hear news of him. I keep an eye on his blog, and it sounds like losing his lady messed him up big time.

His latest myspace blog said he has 2 fights left on his contract, but he hasn't spoken to Joe Silva in 5 months. He seems pretty down and out. He says he'll bus tables, dig ditches, or wash dishes if he has to.
I hope he recovers from all of this and gets back.
