Evan Tanner Biography

Evan Tanner Career

Tanner began fighting in 1997 after friends convinced him to compete in a local mixed martial arts tournament sponsored by the now-defunct Unified Shoot Wrestling Federation. In a single night, he defeated three opponents, including future UFC heavyweight contender Paul Buentello.

Tanner taught himself submission and grappling techniques using instructional videos created by the famed Gracie family following his initial success. He continued to compete in local Texas and Iowa events and tournaments before traveling to Japan to compete for the Pancrase organization. Before being invited to join the UFC, he won five bouts worldwide and competed in the USWF once more.

Tanner made his UFC debut at UFC 18 in 1999, submitting fellow Amarillo native Darrell Gholar in the first round with a rear naked choke. His next UFC bout was at UFC 19 against Valerie Ignatov, a leg submission specialist. This led Tanner to fight without shoes for the first time in his career.

Before deciding to take his first of multiple holidays from fights, Tanner fought once more in Pancrase and twice more in the USWF. In July 2000, he returned to the USWF undefeated, effectively defending his heavyweight title against Raoul Romero and Vinny Nixon. At UFC 29, his next appearance, he defeated Lance Gibson via TKO.

Tanner got a championship chance against UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz at UFC 30 after three UFC victories. Ortiz’s high-level break put him out 32 seconds into the first round. Tanner was invited to compete in the 88 kg class at the 2001 ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship, which took place April 11-13, 2001, at the Abu Dhabi Combat Club in Abu Dhabi, UAE. In the first round, he was defeated by Sanae Kikuta on points (6-0).

Tanner began his training with Team Quest in Oregon. He returned to the octagon at UFC 34, defeating Homer Moore with an armbar in the second round. He defeated Elvis Sinosic by TKO at UFC 36. In an undercard fight at UFC 38, he won a unanimous decision against Chris Haseman. He was defeated by Rich Franklin in the first round of UFC 42 via TKO (strikes). Tanner went to the middleweight category after his defeat by Franklin, where he would be more physically frightening than many of his opponents.
