He must be, he cant seem to get a top fighter in boxing to fight him, so maybe he has had enough and want's to fight in the Ufc. There gonna have to match him carefully if they want to build him up, I would have my money on any half decent mma fighter to destroy Toney.
Or maybe Dana White is just getting scared as Toney has been stalking him for the best part of a year. :p

Put him in against Kimbo.
Re: James Toney signs multi fight deal with the UFC
Why does everyone just assume a good boxer gets destroyed in MMA? Now I know Toney doesn't have the exact same skillset but they start the fights standing up and not on the ground. Standing up, he instantly has to have some of the best stand up in MMA right?

I no what your saying Amat, but how is he going to deal with a big heavyweight taking him to the ground?? I can't see a fat unskilled mma fighter like Toney having any sort of take down defence.

Dear Dana White,
We wish to inform you that one Mr. James Toney in his most recent bouts was outboxed by Sam Peter and Fres Oquendo, please notate that when trying to sell him as a still relevant boxer.
Best Regards,
The Boxing Community.

As Kimbo is mainly a stand up fighter too it would have to give 'Lights Out' a better chance. As long as he is matched up against all stand up guys he'd be ok.
Re: James Toney signs multi fight deal with the UFC
This is really, really sad news.
I suppose I really no longer have even the slightest interest in James Toney then. He was one of my favourite fighters, but UFC? Sorry, I just can't stoop that low. He's officially done.
Re: James Toney signs multi fight deal with the UFC
Does anyone know if this is even true?

He's going to show up fat, cocky, and talking a ton of shit. He'll also get stopped within a round by anyone half decent, which is going to suck because some MMA fans are going to use it to deride boxing (as would some boxing fans if the situation was reversed).
