  1. Wow. At this time, UFC fighter's striking was amateur. No wonder there were more exciting fights at the time. I didn't know better. Silva came in and made it better.

  2. This is 17 years ago, it is crazy seeing the sport and how much it has evolved. RIP Evan Tanner. Rich Franklin is a legend, one of the sharpest guys in the fight game and well ahead of his time.

  3. Tanner was born on 11 february so am I which makes me so proud of myself so sad he passed away in 2008 due to heat stroke after isolating himself in the desert

  4. Evan Tanner was simply outmatched in both outings with Rich Ace Frankford. He couldn't literally do anything to Ace! He was overwhelmed with raw power from Rich. I bet that's why he then thought he could defeat Kendall The Spider Grove but remember he didn't beat him!! He lost then retired into the desert which became his downfault. How unfortunate for him!

  5. Franklin is my cousin my mom told me storys when she baby sat him when he was younger now i herd he might fight Andersin Silvia… Again? sooooooo lets hope he wins this time if he fights him again??

  6. Rip Evan Tanner. Always a fan of his. He never had good striking. But he had great ground and pound. Was great in the clinch. And great submissions. Evan self-taught himself submissions.
