Evan Tanner claims he learned the techniques from a video.
Oh, yeah, SO MANY fighters back in the day would "watch tape" in a different way, literally to learn WTF people were doing. Tanner and Miletich are probably the highest-profile guys who became champs who started learning by watching Gracie VHS tapes. This is partly why there were so many instructional VHS tapes and DVDs made back in the 90s-00s, with everyone from Bas Rutten and Mario Sperry to Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz making "How To" videos. All the way up, of course, to James "I've Watched a Lot of DVDs" Thompson
