After years of grinding out in the dark ages of UFC at 205, Tanner gets a great idea – he’ll faire better at 185, so he cuts the weight.

Goes through 2 (controversial) wars with Phil Baroni, then subs Lawler (remember -those guys use to be very very tough) to secure a title shot against BJJ phenom D Terell who had just ko’d Matt Lindland in 24 seconds.

His moment of validation at hand; Evan gets caught in a guillotine that’d kill an ape. It looks bad but Evan perseveres, escapes and unleashes vicious ground and pound and wins the MW belt.

Next thing you know, that prick Franklin -a f’n math teacher! follows suit and cuts down. Ace gets an immediate title shot and wins the belt due to a cut (yeah Rich was already winning decisively, but let a champ go down swinging at least) and gets fed cans till the Spider arrives.

You bust yer ass at work till yer pants are a big sack of sweat. Then one day you get a good idea and it works, then some good looking prick comes and does the same thing only better, gets all the accolade and raises the f’n bar all in one fell swoop.
