From Yahoo News:
http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news?slug=ys-mmaweektanner090808&prov=yhoo&type=lgnsFormer Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight champion Evan Tanner was found dead near Palo Verde, Calif. on Monday. He was 37.
Tanner had trekked into the desert on a journey to “cleanse” himself, according to Douglas Vincitorio of Tanner’s management team. “He went out to the desert to do a ‘cleansing’ as he called it. Kind of like ‘Survivorman.’” These short trips were not new to Tanner, said Vincitorio. It is something that he has done numerous times over the years.

I'm in to Boxing, but not UFC. I've never heard of this guy.
I saw his most recent fight. He was a legend in his day, but he sure didn't show it in that match. Lackluster at best.
Dying in the desert, though, that's hardcore!
