MMA TRIVIA™
The first UFC fight was Gerald Gordeau vs. Telia Tuli. Within seconds, Gordeau landed a kick that knocked out a pair of Tuli's teeth. One tooth flew past sponsors of Gold's Gym seated at ringside. The other remained entrenched in Gordeau's foot, where it remained during his championship bout with eventual winner Royce Gracie.
