Tribute to Fallen MMA Fighters

Let me start off by saying I am deeply emotional about the death of Evan Tanner. He was an excellent fighter and had the heart of a lion, a true modern day Spartan so to speak. I would like to dedicate this thread to not only Evan Tanner, but other MMA fighters who have passed. Here is my list of three that I know off. Please feel free to add more. Any input it is greatly appreciated.

Evan Tanner - 1971-2008
Ryan Gracie - 1974-2007
Sam Vasquez - 1972-2007

Yeah, who are we to question his choices. Evan lived they way he wanted and did what made him happy. I think he did more in his 37 years than most people do in a lifetime.
