Evan TMZ has learned that former Middleweight UFC champion, Evan Tanner, was found dead in a desert. Evan is the mountainman getting kicked in the face in the image above.
Law enforcement tells us the 37-year-old went out into the desert near San Diego last Friday. That same day, Tanner sent a text message to a friend that he was out of water and needed help. There was a massive search that ended abruptly yesterday.
Tanner blogged last month he was going to the desert because of his friends talking about "treasure hunting and lost gold, and my own insatiable appetite for adventure and exploration." Tanner continued, "I plan on going so deep into the desert, that any failure of my equipment could cost me my life."

Here's an idea. If you're in the process of dying and you have a cell phone with a signal, CALL SOMEONE. The world's obsession with texting has obviously gone too far when a dying man forgets his phone is capable of real-time, audio conversation.
This is one of those cases where you want to feel sorry for the person since he's dead, but he made it real hard to do so. Didn't he see Into the Wild? These adventures never end with you coming back home with a bag of gold and a sense of satisfaction. That would be nice, but you usually just die. So RIP.
