Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Evan Tanner is heading to the desert to...

 Possibly die. mmamania.com has an article apparently taken from the former UFC Middleweight Champs Web Blog where he talks about an upcoming trip to the desert to, Explore the deep reaches of the untracked desert. Here's the actual blog entry:

“I’m hoping that very soon I’ll be sitting out in the quiet of the desert beneath a deep blue midnight sky, listening to the calm desert breeze. The idea going into the desert came to me soon after I moved to Oceanside. It was motivated by my friend Sara’s talk of treasure hunting and lost gold, and my own insatiable appetite for adventure and exploration. I began to imagine what might be found in the deep reaches of the untracked desert. It became an obsession of sorts…. I’ve been gathering my gear for this adventure for over a month, not a long time by most standards, but far too long for my impatient nature. Being a minimalist by nature, wanting to carry only the essentials, and being extremely particular, it has been a little difficult to find just the right equipment. I plan on going so deep into the desert, that any failure of my equipment, could cost me my life. I’ve been doing a great deal of research and study. I want to know all I can about where I’m going, and I want to make sure I have the best equipment. One more week. I think one more week, and I’ll be ready to go.”

 

Sounds like he's gonna be taking a while off from fighting. Which is good because he didn't really look too good in his last two fights. I sure hope he makes it back o.k. though. Good Luck Evan.
