An Amarillo, Texas native, Evan Tanner was a high school wrestling stand out who won the state championships his junior and senior years despite entering the sport as a sophomore. He began mixed martial arts in 1997 encouraged by friends.

Tanner rose to the top of the mixed martial arts world by winning the UFC middleweight title over David Terrell at UFC 51: "Super Saturday" on Feb. 5, 2005. He last competed in the UFC on June 21 losing to Kendall Grove by split decision.

“He will obviously be sorely missed,” said Douglas Vincitorio of Tanner’s management agency, Driving Force Sports. Adding, “I think that Evan would want to be remembered as a very complex man with many layers, not just a fighter.”

“Evan was a dear friend to us and an important part of the DFS family,” says Driving Force Sports owner John Hayner. “He was so much more than a fighter. He was an individual we appreciated and cared a lot about. He marched to a drum only he could hear, and he was happy with that – so were we and so were his fans. He worked so hard to get fans more involved in the industry and be a part of his team. He was the kind of guy who kept on trying every day to improve… not just in fighting but in his life as a whole.”




“Believe in yourself. Believe in your own potential for greatness. Believe that you can change the world. It is something that is within each of us.”



– Evan Michael Tanner 1971-2008
