Randy Couture vs. James Toney targeted for August's UFC 118 in Boston

wow James is a fool if he takes this

He is a counter puncher

you aint gonna counter punch Randy while he is mauling you on the cage James

wow if this is true just wow

we have our answer, they are going to make an example out of Toney and either

A. He doesnt know it

or

B. He doesnt care

I know how this is gonna go....i hope the fence does not break.

This could be the best or worst thing for MMA ever

Best: Randy takes Toney down immediately and GnPs his ass like a rape victim

Worst: Randy continues to think he's a striker and gets knocked out early by Toney, prompting the boxing is better than MMA bullshit.

If Dana does this i will lose a little more respect, in all honesty we should be saying James against Buentello

or kimbo

This is a horrible pointless match-up.

No fucking way.

Yeah but if Randy takes Toney down and pounds him then you'll get " MMA is better/Boxing is dying."

That's not good. James Toney is a washed up legend, who's become so irrelevant in boxing he thinks he can compete with Randy Couture.

We need the whole Boxing vs MMA crap to go away.

Toney by KO

Toney is going to KO Randy.

I'll agree we don't need that shit, but it be worse if Randy lost, as he's still competing in MMA, people know Toney isn't what he used to be more so than they do Randy.

You guys really think so ?

Is it going to be at a catch weight ?

B and Mantis you guys are making me worry now

I doubt it will be at a catch weight .. they probably think that Toney will need as much advantages as he can..

Like LA said. This would be way worse if Randy lost .. and to me.. this just looks like a disaster waiting to happen.

Dana is an idiot. Never set up shit that you have way more to lose than you do to gain.. dont put toney up against a name like Randy.. especially an aging one at that.

doesnt james weigh a bunch these days? or am i wrong.

James weighed inn at 217lb for his last outing as a boxer.

I'm in total agreement with you. This would be way worse for MMA if Randy lost and he has no chin anymore. Realistically any clean shot from Toney is at worst rocking Couture at this point. It's just a matter of if he can come out and get the takedown early and not let him back up

No chance in fucking hell Toney makes 205

no chance

this is a guy that would balloon up to 200 when he fought at 168

They won't fight at 205. Toney's already said he's not fighting at that weight

well they probably will both weigh 220 then.

I still wonder what a James Toney who didnt drop 30 pounds in 8 days using diaretics does to Roy Jones in the first fight
