James Toney signs multi fight deal with the UFC

[ElTerribleMorales]

i'd pay just to see the press conferences lol it'd be hilarious

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.

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.

I'm actually quite intrigued to see how Toney performs in this. I listened to a really interesting interview with, I think his Step Father of about 15 - 16 years. He was a mixed martial arts expert for years fighting in all kinds off rough places. The link is below. I think James Toney might be a little better equipped for UFC than people are giving him credit for......

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!!
