The UFC continues to ignore a true legend while they hand out inductions to people who never lived the life Evan did. This surge of support proves that the fans have not forgotten his legacy even if the corporate suits choose to look the other way.

Legend. Still miss watching him fight. Such a unique guy compared to the showboating fighters we have now.
Long overdue. The guy was a pioneer and a tough dude. Make it happen.
Evan was the real deal. A true warrior who paved the way for everyone else. About time he gets the recognition he deserves.
RIP Evan. You did more for this sport than most of the guys currently in there.
The man was a straight up savage in the cage. HOF is a no brainer. PUT HIM IN.
The attached photograph is of Champion UFC Fighter EVAN LOYD TANNER and me, Randall Flann. In Earnestness. I want to Honor deceased Champion UFC Fighter EVAN LOYD TANNER (February 11, 1971 - c. September 5, 2008) who I had the personal privilege to converse with and be photographed with in Milwaukee, Wisconsin during the Harley-Davidson 105th Anniversary Celebration (August 28 through 31) 2008. Before his extremely untimely death by Hyperthermia in the desert of Palo Verde Valley, Calif. Evan planned that my website: www.RoFoHeadgear.com be mentioned on his blog: www.spike.com/blog/evan-tanners-lost/68803 and www.spike.com/profile/Evan_Tanner. After this photograph was taken… Evan went back to his home state than 3 weeks later while meditating in the desert... Died. A little after Evan Lloyd Tanner’s death, a representative from MMAFIGHTING.com on behalf of the Tanner family, his mother asked me if I would allow MMA use the attached last photograph of him, her son, taken with me for a www.Spike.com special episode on the life of Evan Lloyd Tanner. Without hesitation I gave my immediate full cooperating authorized permission. To avoid any and all lawsuits against me pertaining to the unwarranted and unauthorized use of Mr. Evan Tanners' name and likeness, association with the Tanner Family, www.MTV.com, www.SPIKE.com, the UFC, the WEC and all other affiliations throughout the universe I am forced to rename my RoFo Headgear beverage dispenser prototype from its original chosen title/s: RoFo EVAN TANNER COMMEMORATIVE BevDisHeadgear, and/or the RoFo EVAN TANNER AWARD BevDisHeadgear to the lesser obvious and lesser controversial combative current generic title. RoFo MIXED FIGHTING ARTS COMPETITOR BevDisHeadgear.

Tanner had so much heart. He fought anyone and never backed down. Always respecting his legacy.
