They tried to set this fight up like a million times but they both kept getting injured. That fight seems to make some sense. My money is on Tanner vs. Horn.

that could be one of the most ridiculous comments i’ve ever heard..

look up videos for:
Evan Tanner vs. Robbie Lawler [who is pretty much a MW champion right now]
Evan Tanner vs. Justin Levens

hell, go ahead and look him up on fightfinder..
i don’t know if you haven’t done your homework or Tanner, but this guy puts on JJ clinics.. i love Tanner’s ground work.. it’s so smooth and fluent..

i had him sub’ing Okami in round 2..
but when he showed up he looked sluggish and possibly sick or out of shape.. sooo.. i don’t know about him beating Hendo or Anderson.. but Tanner can definately get into title contention..

go ahead and check out:
Evan Tanner vs. Phil Baroni 1.. brilliant clinch work in that fight..

Tanner takes this fight easily. You realize you’re talking about a guy who has one win (against a 6-11 fighter) in the past 3 years beating a former MW champion and LHW title contender, correct?

"Tanner would choke Sell out easily." really? i would have to go with...ummm, no. Sell just recieved his black belt in bjj... tanner has good ground work but wouldn't say that it is on par with drago's... I wouldn't go as far as saying that the old tanner wouldn't KO him, but the way he looked against Okami i would doubt the new tanner would... Pete has just had some really bad luck in his fights man, with the losses to quarry (in which he was winning the second fight but then got KO'd) to the fluke loss to smith, to being decisioned by leitas... i don't think tanner would fair any better against these opponents... Let me reiterate though... I am not bashing tanner, i like him as a fighter, and enjoy reading his blog, but dont think he will have any type of impact on the MW division “but.. if he fought Pete Sell.. he would sub him in 1..”
“Tanner would choke Sell out easily.”
