Tyler Toner is an American former professional mixed martial arts fighter. A professional from 2005 until 2014, he fought in the UFC, WEC, Strikeforce, and the RFA.
Born and raised in Colorado, Toner began training in Taekwondo at age five, and at age eight was the national point-sparring champion. In high school, Toner played football and trained in boxing and kickboxing. [1]
Toner was scheduled to make his World Extreme Cagefighting debut against Brandon Visher on December 19, 2009 at WEC 45. [2] However, Toner was denied a license from the Nevada State Athletic Commission, because his vision was too poor to fight. [3]
Toner instead faced Visher on April 24, 2010 at WEC 48. [4] He won the fight via TKO (elbows) in the first round.
Toner faced Diego Nunes on September 30, 2010 at WEC 51. [5] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.
In October 2010, World Extreme Cagefighting merged with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As part of the merger, all WEC fighters were transferred to the UFC. [6]
Toner was expected to face Leonard Garcia on December 4, 2010 at The Ultimate Finale 12, but after Garcia was rescheduled to fight Nam Phan, Ian Loveland stepped in to face Toner. [7] Toner lost the fight via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-26, 29-28).
After the loss, he was subsequently released from the promotion.
On June 1, 2009, Toner traveled to Japan on short notice to take on Shootboxing World Champion Kenichi Ogata. Widely considered a big underdog, Toner shocked the Japanese audience by knocking out Ogata with a head kick at 2:58 of the first round securing the upset win over the former champion. [8]
Toner and his wife were married six weeks after his fight at WEC 48. [9]
