I SERIOUSLY hope this is just a bad rumor:

Man, this is horrible. Hope it's not true.

[Souder]

If it is true this is a very sad day in MMA.

RIP Evan

A guy who always needed the confirmation that he was actually alive, in this zombie world. Ironically, he did get the final confirmation, by actually dying in the desert. The desert. How fitting. Somehow, this doesn't sound like such a tragic story, though the world will surely miss this "screwed-up" and yet/thus very, very interesting man.

RIP

what a fucking bummer....

RIP Evan

That sucks. He was a nice guy and a tough motherfucker...I remember his first UFC fight against Darrel Gholar...the guy that went on to train wrestling for BTT.

Evan seemed an odd guy in a sense of finding himself and god and stuff a few years back but definitely seemed like a good man and kept himself in great shape.

RIP
