James Toney signs multi fight deal with the UFC

[ElTerribleMorales]

Put him in against Kimbo.

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.

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.

Does anyone know if this is even true?

[amat]

ok it is

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).

Actually Kimbo has grown into an MMA fighter and vastly improved his game...He is not the same fighter from the TUF series or even the one that faced Alexander....He really has developed nicely...Not the best but not the worst either....

As for the pressers Kimbo is really not a big shit talker...In truth he is a humble guy who is great to talk to and very respectful...Believe it or not he is an intelligent guy as well...I met him at ATT in Coconut Creek last year top caliber fellow

oh i don't doubt it, but Toney will go off on the guy lol

Walker is in his 40's and has had multiple martial arts black belts, but Dana says that that guy is a joke. Then signs this 40-something former pro to make an MMA debut?

and furthermore......

Personally I’m more intrigued to see Ricardo Mayorga in Shine against Din Thomas.

Mayorga is closer to his prime, and he is stepping in against a legit badass in his first fight. Toney is sure to get a hand picked tomato can similar to Herschel Walker’s.

Mayorga against Thomas is great, I'm wondering who Toney will fight.
I think Couture said he wanted Toney.

I'll tell you exactly how this will go. Toney will be submitted extremely quickly and then in the post fight interview go off on his opponent for being a p#ssy for not standing and fighting.
