I have faith in Evan Tanner! He might be down now but he has what it takes to get himself back in fighting shape. He will come back when HE is ready to come back. I dont think there is a fighter out there right now in the middle weight div that can take him when he is 100%. EVERYBODY IN VEGAS LOVES YOU EVAN!!!!

Cant wait to see Tanner back in the cage. He should fight a bigger name then Lister. plus Tanner would smash Lister, and forget about Lister submitting him. If anyone got tied up it would be Lister. Tanners no joke, and he is traing at chute/box. he’s comin back better. I hear Bisbing is droppin to 185, how bout that match? But for now give him someone like Patrick Cote or even Kendall, not a submission specialist who’s coming off surgery. I want to see a war. and Tanner always brings it! win or lose!

Love him or hate him, MTUFC always had something relevant to say & a load of links to post for hard to find fights.

[quote comment=”141893″][quote comment=”141637″]TANNER IS BACK! I heard he wants to fight middlewheight champ Anderson Silva or perhaps Rich Franklin. Dean Lister is tough but he’s too technical which could make the fight boring, i never seen Lister won with a knockout or spectacular fight. I hope Tanner will beat his ass up![/quote]
Franklin beat the snot out of him twice already. A third match-up should never happen.[/quote]

Agreed.

I would have to disagree. If Rich Franklin, who everyone thought was unbeatable in the MW division got destroyed by Silva, (and the same thing will happen again in October), then I do not give Evan Tanner a chance in hell against Silva. That would be the worst fight possible for Tanner. His life would be at risk. Unless he can win about 2 - 3 fights (not all against TUF alumni), then put him in a #1 contender match

agree 100%……… I dont even wanna c him catch a beatdown from Silva…. His life would b at risk . He is a perfect benchmark too weed out the pretenders from the contenders

[quote comment=”141993″][quote post=”3228″]Im a tanner fan also, and I will be disapointed if they make him fihgt the boogyman. Tanner is a braweler, and I dont wanna c him fight against a grappler wit no stand up. Throw Tanner in the cage wit a young up and comming brawler. Tanner will put you through the fire (as he did to tarrell). Tanner migh not win, but his opponent will get tested in the cage. Throw him out there wit Kendall Grove, or Mcdonald[/quote]

John, you said that you woule like to see Tanner in there with a stiker, but then you list 2 possible opponents, one of which is Jason MacDonald. J-Mac is primarily a BJJ fighter as well. Not so much as Lister, but he does specialize in BJJ.[/quote]

I mean against someone that could at least punch his way out of a wet paper bag. Lister is a phenomenal grappler but his stand up is non exsitent. J - mac is an up an comming fighter, primarily a grappler but he can stand n fight when he has to. Listers stand up is a joke….thats all Im trying to say. Whats wrong wit Tanner vs. Grove? Grove strikes but comming off a loss but I dont think Dana would risk is investment by throwing him out there to possibly loose 2 in a row against Tanner

Why are we being subjected to another Dean Lister fight? Does Dana hate us? Wait, don’t answer that.
