Once I Was a Champion

[flexwheeIR]

"if you can count on one hand, five good friends,i think you're a pretty lucky man"

that doesnt even make any sense. all he had to say was: "if you can count five good friend, i think you're a pretty lucky man".the only way to count 5 people is on ONE hand.

[zangarbrandon]

This gave me huge chills. Beautiful.

[zombienationnews]

I fucking HATE the negative aspects of this trailer, and I hope that it is taken out of context... as a friend and a fan that knew him during that period in his life... what he accomplished was AMAZING! Still to this day I think of him more as a poet than a fighter. You will be missed my friend and the world is a better place because of you!

[sTalnaker13]

@zombienationnews "I think of him more as a poet than a fighter" beautiful words to describe Evan...One of those guys I liked and always respected, but never one of my favorites. But some of the things he would do and say outside the cage, influence me and many others that our all time favorites couldnt do.

[zombienationnews]

@sTalnaker13 I am really happy there are going to be more people who know a bit more about who he was as a man now that this is being released. He wasn't a saint, he was just real, and kind... almost to a fault... that was probably his biggest demon that I know of, if he didn't live up to his own standards he would beat himself up so, so bad... it was hard to watch.

[piercerdan]

Evan tanner is one of the very few famous people i care about. He is one of the most loveable people that has lived that i know about. I hope he found whatever he was looking for and i really hope my miniscule amount of effort helps get this documentary out there for the public. if more people were like evan the world would be a much better place.

[VacantPerception]

Evan Tanner is an inspiration. GREAT job on this film

[mrsjmurray]

Sonnen is a..hole why play the part !!!!

[ArmTriangleChoke]

Who's Evan Tanner?

[jayfiver]

I just liked him as a fighter. I didn't know he was this great! Can't wait to see the whole thing! Miss you man.

[uppercut187]

He was a great man

[EaglesWind1]

Liked. DVD/Bluray sometime soon, please?

[mmabuff101]

I can't believe im saying this, but I actually like josh koscheck over chael sonnen. What a douchebag

[whatzef5]

@mmabuff101

Sonnen is not saying any bad thing about his friend. In complete scene he was talking about how Tanner was acting few days before he died. Don't judge him too quickly

[thewikwakdj]

he was/is one of my all time favorite mma fighters. he is missed

[craig2307]

Thank god mma junkie put me here ti like this.

[mrsjmurray]

Someone needs to break chael jaw

[scirone]

Everyone please like this video

[crombie22480]

Why would anybody click dislike to this video? Have some class people

[Fritoburrito01]

This looks so awesome and I don't even like UFC! =D

[shoenice22]

WOW..WOW..GREAT STORY

[Machinelf]

The fuck was Chael trying to say?

[paulcfc10]

@Machinelf He's probably trying to say that Evan was losing it towards the end. But he should have said it in a nicer way.

[bmxpunker2005]

He was a pretty awesome guy thats for sure

[Stoogemeister420]

Rest in peace Evan Tanner. I'll strive to be half the man you were

[ike134]

What did Evan die from?

[JustaDirtBag]

@ike134 . He died from dehydration while on a motorcycle camping trip in the desert of southern California.

[fd46kristian]

whats the song at the very end? Anybody KNow?

[AZPlayboy28]

So sad, It seemed for yearsin his letters and blogs he was crying out to people for help.

[VacantPerception]

Such an incredible man, instantly brings a tear to your eye. You guys did a phenomenal job putting this together

[connbren]

Haven't cried in 10 years and yet a 3 minute video on youtube can do the trick. This man was and will forever be my hero.

Rest in Peace Evan, rest in peace.

[liamshawmma]

when is this out

[andyjay203]

ur vids are always fucking awesome, a million thumbs up to you my good sir

[devilrojo55]

Let's hope that was not all Chael had to say... I am going to ask him about this when i see him next month, hopefully he wasn't bashing Evan or I will punch him in the weiner.

[thiagosilva0907]

@devilrojo55 No you wont punch Chael Sonnen.

[Tanikaze2]

WHY did they try to make Sonnen out like the biggest dick?

[Fredoruns2much]

@Tanikaze2 Try??? Maybe because he IS a dick. Have you not heard the stuff that spews out of that mans mouth??

[wamphyr000]

@Tanikaze2 I get the impression that it is taken out of context. I'm sure he's referring to some decision in Tanner's life that made absolutely no sense.

[Tanikaze2]

@wamphyr000 exactly. =(

[rejectedx23]

one of my all-time favorites. cannot wait to see this.

[hatemonkey]

Liked. Will this ever be shown in Europe or will I have to buy it online?

[GfpWrestling]

RIP Evan Tanner

[tron3434]

Well done!

[suhperman]

Great job on the documentary Gerard.

[bangermccrusher]

he will be a champion forever

[bartodell]

Still waiting for this to be shown here in Amarillo... please make this happen.

[swainegreg]

There hasn't been a single time I've seen this trailer without getting tears in my eyes. There are few people in this world that change how I will view things. Evan Tanner was one of them, my parents are the others.

RIP Evan.

[connbren]

... Brought tears to my eyes... Don't think I'd be able to watch the full thing, may one of the greatest and nicest human beings this world has ever met RIP.

You will truly be missed.

[sinistercharlie]

why would some1 dislike this, heartless piece of shit. RIP EVAN TANNER

[SamanthaHamade]

I saw it at the LA Film Fest a few months ago. Loved this documentary!

[MMASucka]

One of the best trailers to a documentary I have seen

[chillmike]

“One of the ultimate things a human can learn is kindness for their fellow humans.”
