What do you mean UFC fucked this up? They paid respect to him. UFC didn't kill him. He got stuck in the desert. What the hell does Dana White have to do with this??? dumbass

What the fuck does this have to do with the UFC? This was a freak accident. Shit happens when people fuck with the desert alone.. Period. Just what does him dying in the desert have to do with the UFC or Dana White? Nobody should ever, under any circumstances, venture into the desert alone. Not even for just a little while. I don't give a shit who you are, I don't care if you're a fucking marine, it's a foolish, life threatening decision, and Evan unfortunately made that mistake.
