Cox: "[Tanner] always had a big smile."

I’m really saddened by the news… Evan first fought for me in 1998 and was one of the guys I always enjoyed seeing at the shows, whether he was competing or not.  He always had a big smile and a handshake waiting whenever we bumped into each other.  The MMA community and everybody who was touched by him  will miss him greatly.
