BJ Penn Gives Toney Some Love

BJ PENN: "What's worse than having the WWF champ as our heavyweight champ? That ain't worse than having James Toney come on and win a fight."

ARIEL HELWANI: "So it's all not that bad for the sport, right? He's bringing a little hype. Can't be worse, right?"

BJ PENN: "It's great for the sport. James Toney is God's gift to MMA right now. He's promoting the sport. He's telling everybody to go out and buy tickets. You can't ask for a better person. What James Toney is doing is putting more money into everybody's pockets."

I stopped listening to BJ Penn a long time ago. He has 1 of the biggest egos in MMA.

agree freak but its better to read what he says rather than to hear it

I am not a BJ fan, but he is right. Toney is promoting the shit out of this fight. Randy does what Randy does every time. He sits back, smiles and takes no offense. The only time he says anything out of line is when Dana whispers in his ear to call people out, like he did with Tito.

BJ has a point and I feel the same way no matter the outcome MMA wins imo.
