Evan Tanner Talks UFC Return, Training With Chute Boxe

The following was posted on Evan Tanner's official MySpace.com blog:

Wednesday, November 15, 2006

I need a website to tell the story, and begin this new journey.

I need someone to help me put up my website. I've got the domain name and the space reserved. I just want something basic. I'll tell my story there, of the last year, of my fight career, the truth of everything, the story of my life.

There was a friend here on myspace that offered to help me out, but I've lost his email. Are you still out there and willing? I have a unique concept in mind.

I spoke with Joe Silva, the UFC matchmaker a couple of weeks ago. He says I still have a place in the UFC. I am thankful for that. I also spoke with the Chute Boxe team. They have invited me to come out to train. They want to get me ready to take on Anderson Silva.

I have fallen into embarassing physical condition. I'm soft, flabby, and weak. I'm smaller than I've been since highschool. I've been drinking from morning until night for eight months straight. No, it's not cool, but it is the truth. My stomach hurts so much I can noly eat soup. I've been on the road for almost a year staying with friends, offending most of them. My bank account is negative. I'm behind on my house payment. My phone has been shut off. I'm two years behind on my taxes. I'm worried the government is going to take everything from me. I haven't been training. I've avoided the media, and I've spoken with very few friends.

But my mind, and heart are strong. I will rise again.

Best wishes to all,

Evan
