The Friday Fight Feature: "Once I was a Champion"

"Once I was a Champion" is an upcoming documentary that covers the life story and tragic death of former UFC Middleweight Champion Evan Tanner.  "Like" the film trailer on youtube, the top ten films are entered into an upcoming festival.  Looks like it's going to be an amazing documentary.
