So who will TOney fight...

I kind of thought there would be an announcement by now.

My pick would be Kimbo. If Kimbo loses, throw him under the bus and say he's not a real mixed martial artist, then line him up with a grappler. Two big potential PPVs for the UFC.

If Kimbo wins, then his legend grows so it's not a total loss, and the UFC could probably get another big PPV out of Slice.

Kimbo would probably win that fight, I'm pretty confident Kimbo would/could get Toney down and GnP him, also remember he did sub Mercer.

Toney should fight Kongo though IMO

give him Duffee, send him home fast talking more shit to whoever will listen. Fuck James Toney, that is one annoying mother fucker.

Dos Santos, just so I can see a Boxer get knockout in MMA

UFC will match him up with someone they think will beat him like Cain.

They would never risk a top contender getting caught. Would never happen.

Yeah his opponents will all be low risk high reward fighters

Like Kimbo, he's not a real fighter, he isn't that good, and a huge draw, Kimbo wins, hilarious, Toney wins, Kimbo sucked anyways and Toney's a bigger draw now.

Duffee, he's just a kid fighter, Dufee blows Toney out of the water, again hilarious, Toney wins, it was against a nobody.

And so on

They risked a top contender on Lesnars debut.
I would like to see him against Duffe, Barry, Kongo or JDS but I think they will put him against a grappler first.

That was a completly different time in a very thin, weak divsion. They needed a contender to appear and no matter what happened they had a challenger with hype. Things are different now, there is no chance in hell the UFC will risk any top guy on Toney. I would bet my life on it.

Not to mention Lesnar wasn't a 40something year old retired boxer who talks major shit. Lesnar had the best base for MMA already, not to mention the size, strength, and athleticism to be successful in MMA, plus he was serious about competing in MMA as a career, Toney just wants to be seen and heard again.

Right on! This is it right here folks!

Dos Santos and Kongo are you crazy ? James Toney is a 5'10 blown up middleweight , he'd be at a huge size disadvantage against either guy.

Kimbo is suitable because he's more likely to stand with Toney.
