James Tony to fight Randy Couture under MMA rules!

[The Promoter]

This is a more interesting fight than you guys think for several reasons; 1) Couture is getting up there in age 46 I believe. 2) Couture losses have been to strikers for the most part (or wrestlers who chose to strike) and Randy has been susceptible to the KO which works in Toney's favor.

Let's face it Toney would loss to a 3rd rate wrestler if taken to the ground so really any MMA fighter even a supposed "striker" knows more than Toney on the ground and NO "striker" will try to stand up with Toney. So with that logic, anyone he fights in MMA will try and take Toney to the ground and it only makes sense to put him up against an older wrestler that has been susceptible to the KO. I actually like this matchup for James Toney, just look how Chuck Lidell handled Randy Couture and I believe James Toney has a chance...

I also read that JT weighs over 250! If that's true forget the above....

White has given Tony a tough first fight in the UFC.

Tony would have a much better chance against a striker rather than a wrestler like couture.

Well Couture is quite literally the Bhop of MMA. His age was never a factor, as he is in better physical shape than 85% of the guys in MMA, and I doubt his age will be a factor in this.

Also, he was KO'd by Chuck Liddell (a guy with unbelievable takedown defense) because Randy had been working hard on his boxing and felt that he could outstrike Chuck as he did in their previous fight. I doubt he'll have any such illusions against Toney.

Bad matchup for Toney big time, Couture will go fight for the clinch, push him against the fence, and take him down. The only chance Toney has is to catch Couture with something while he's coming in for the clinch.

Doubt it, Toney weighed 217 for his last fight, apparently he has been under 210 recently as well.

Next tom brady will try and beat tiger at golf......and i won't care about that either. I love love james toney but damn you can't beat sam peter now you want to take on an mma fighter at his sport ??!! Toney will get his ass kicked, but why is that a surprise he's probabably not a good kick boxer either but because the sports are similar he should be

Toney will win this by submission.

Oh bring in the clowns.Ive gone rouge on this and am not sure why?? I hope Couture knocks him cold.And no one at all in the mma should think they are facing "the" James Toney who is relevant.Means nattas!

A wrestling powerhouse in top condition like Couture is perhaps one of the worst case possible for Toney. ONe punch can make all the difference but Couture has so much experience, I hardly see how James could pull that one.
