Exclusive: James Toney signs multi-fight deal with UFC | Five Ounces of Pain


Joke if you ask me imagine Toney against Lesnar It would be over in under 30 seconds.

[generalbulldog]

Why? Is he broke?

Why? Is he broke?

He must be, he cant seem to get a top fighter in boxing to fight him, so maybe he has had enough and want's to fight in the Ufc. There gonna have to match him carefully if they want to build him up, I would have my money on any half decent mma fighter to destroy Toney.

Or maybe Dana White is just getting scared as Toney has been stalking him for the best part of a year.

Put him in against Kimbo.

Why does everyone just assume a good boxer gets destroyed in MMA? Now I know Toney doesn't have the exact same skillset but they start the fights standing up and not on the ground. Standing up, he instantly has to have some of the best stand up in MMA right?

I no what your saying Amat, but how is he going to deal with a big heavyweight taking him to the ground?? I can't see a fat unskilled mma fighter like Toney having any sort of take down defence.

Put him in against Kimbo.

Now that would be a huge sell!!

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

[terrorsid]

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.

[Jimmy G-Force]

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.

[Hornfinger]

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....

[Jimmy G-Force]

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.
