Morreu Evan Tanner, lutador de MMA

Morreu esta segunda, dia 8 de Setembro, Evan Tanner, ex-campeão de pesos médios da UFC. Tanner foi encontrado morto numa montanha, no seguimento de uma viagem pelo deserto que o mesmo decidira fazer para se purificar interiormente. Presume-se que Evan Tanner, de 37 anos, tenha morrido de sede ou por causa do calor.

I've been sitting around this apartment, bored to tears, waiting on the last of the gear I need for the desert adventure to come in the mail. I've really been looking forward to getting out there. I've been writing about it a little bit here. It seems some MMA websites have reported on the story, posting up that I might die out in the desert, or that it might be my greatest opponent yet, etc. Come on guys. It's really common down in southern California to go out to the off road recreation areas in the desert about an hour away from LA and San Diego. So my plan is to go out to the desert, do some camping, ride the motorcycle, and shoot some guns. Sounds like a lot of fun to me. A lot of people do it. This isn't a version of "Into the Wild". I'm not going out into the desert with a pair of shorts and a bowie knife, to try to live off the land. I'm going fully geared up, and I'm planning on having some fun.

I do plan on going back pretty far, so I did mention in one of my posts that I wanted to make sure to have good quality gear. Any failure of gear out in the desert could cause a problem.
