If ANYONE makes the mistake of trying to punch Toney in that gay MMA way then it will be a repeat of what Mercer did to Sylvia. They will be KO'd instantly only this time it will be a counter punch that does it. I know Toney isn't the biggest puncher but he has ok power.

On the other hand if they charge at him for a takedown, Toney does not have good footspeed anymore and will not be able to avoid that IMO and once on the floor he will be in trouble IMO.

This for me is Dana trying to prove a point but he knows he's picking an out of shape old has been middleweight because some bums from boxing in the past have crossed to MMA and done quite well. You have Butterbean for example he got easily outclassed by a 50 odd year old ex champion and then went to MMA and has beaten some decent names, the guy only ever fought one fight in boxing outside of 4 rounders for fuck sake. I once heard a MMA commentator say "there is a lot of talk of Floyd Mayweather coming into MMA, but we already have one top boxer here in Butterbean" WTF??

Then there is Lytle and Davis who are both ex bums in boxing who realised they weren't good enough so went into MMA, I know they are not the best in the UFC but to get into the UFC you have to be half decent at MMA. And then of course Mercer at 48 KO'd 33 year old ex 3 time UFC HW champion in 8 seconds, I know that one hurts MMA fans the most, now i'm not saying Mercer or Sylvia for that matter are great but he showed what an old, fat, out of shape boxer is capable of in MMA!!
