Yeah, he beat Terrell at UFC 51 for the vacant belt and lost his rematch with Franklin at 53. Poor Evan. He is one of my favorite fighters and he looked like he was going to make it interesting early in the second Franklin fight. Then Rich took over and turned Tanner's face into swollen putty. Evan is as tough as they come, though, took it like a man and kept going.
When he won the belt against Terrell, that was a thing of beauty. Pure beatdown. The expression on David's face after the fight was stopped was like he just got violated. That's what you get when Evan Tanner is samurai hair mode.

Injuries. The guy has been fighting the injury bug ever since his loss to Tanner. He did end up fighting last year at UFC 59, but after that he was plagued by injuries again. I know he was scheduled to fight Okami a few times this year, but was forced to back out.
