    Wow i really dont have much 2 say on this one but i'd love to see him Kimbo's sorry ass.... I feel like how can he possibly make it? Didn't he get knocked down by a Jab when he fought Sam Peters and rolled like a butter ball? I cant he even imagine how he would react to a good leg kick lol... Am i the only one thinking that?

    The UFC will want Toney to win a couple of fights at least to get as many boxing fans paying attention to MMA so they're going to start him off with tomato cans. They'll bring him along gradually, they're making an investment there and they're not going to blow it in his first fight.

    The rumour has it that Toney will be fighting Kimbo Slice in his first fight, then the winner to fight the winner of Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz. Kimbo's next fight against Mitrone has been pulled so this rumour looks to have some weight behind it. Still a joke though.

    Dana fed Brock to a shark in his first fight, giving him Frank Mir, I dont see him doing the same with Toney, hence the Slice fight.

    A garden brawler against one of the most skilled boxing technicians of the lasy 20 years doesnt seem like a fair fight at all. But if Kimbo can take Toney down like he did Houston Alexander, then the waters may become very deep for Toney.

    Either way, I hate Toneys aquisition to the UFC.
    Some people say boxing is a matter of life or death, it's not, it's far more important than that.

    Yep to your proper fight fan this is a joke, but like someone said previously it's all about the ratings.....

    It seems man to man combat hasn't moved very far from the big top after all....

    Just read that Randy Couture has 'tweeted' via his blog that he wants to the be first to fight Toney. Ouch !! That is throwing Toney to the sharks, he'd get eaten alive.

    Do you really think Toney will ever see 205?? I can't see it Jimmy heard it all to many times before.

    I'm not sure where he is at now to be honest pal, but it would be a huge struggle. Randy would take the fight at HW anyway, so thats not an issue. But Toney would need to get to 205 to fight Chuck or Tito forsure.

    JFAT is probably the only Heavyweight I can think of that encounters weigh-in's in the same way most other fighters do outside of the heavyweight division do... In the sense that he strips down in weight to as much as he see fit, looks pretty good at the weigh in, then BANG he blows up to JFAT proportions again.

    I think that what ever he does, he'll always wind up a fat git come fight night
