is he going to be ready to face okami with such a long break from fighting?
Does a one legged duck swim in a circle??
i do not know but i pass some ducks on the way to work and i have a machette in my truck so at about five oclock this afternoon, i will have an answer for you.
Valid question. Okami is world class and may very well be overwhelming for Tanner after such a long break.
Still as a proud member of Team Tanner. War Evan!
my question is answerd
I'm not so sure.
He was ready, I think. Okami is just a big dude that caught him with a solid knee.
I don't think it necessarily speaks to Tanner's abilities, per se.
personally, i like tanner and was dissappointed to see him lose. i think that putting them against a number one contender right away after such a long break was premature. they should have put him against a tufer. and given him about 2 or 3 fights with the 3rd one being okami and then after he beats him, a.silva. all in all, the better man one and i look forward to okami/ silva.
Tanner didn't really look any different than he ever has before he was just outmatched plain and simple.
tanner looked good, okami was just better that night. kinda the point of a fight, don't ya think? to see who wins? Tanner wasn't out classed or dominated, decent job for such a long lay off and getting back in shape at his age.
I agree with a post on another thread that some time in the WEC would be great for Evan, but he is far from done if he chooses to keep fighting again. I will keep watching him fight.
-MM
Tanner/Filho is a fight I would love to see.
Tanner Will Be Back.... BELIEVE
I like Tanner too much to write him off; hopefully Evan knocked most of the Ring Rust off and will be back better than ever!
He really needs to find some better training partners, IMO. I don't think having Burkman as your main training partner is the way to go to get back to the top of the MW division.

Exactly
