Coloradan Tyler Toner Preps for Unbeaten Visher
March 16th, 2010Frank Curreri, WEC – Roughly 2,800 people attended UFC 1 at McNichols Sports Arena in Denver, Co. One of those intrigued spectators was a 10-year-old Tae Kwon Do student named Tyler Toner. The boy didn’t find the spectacle – which happened to be unregulated at the time — to be disturbing or violent. In fact, the only thing that shocked him, as would be the case for many who watched that night on Nov. 12, 1993, was witnessing a skinny Brazilian named Royce Gracie repeatedly conquer Goliaths to win the 8-man tournament.
