Toney wants to fight at UFC123?

I know this shouldn't make news and I almost feel bad posting it... But when you pay a guy the kind of money he earned was handed to be embarrassed, of course he won't quit hanging around flapping his gums. Anyway, the reason I posted it was to ask why he's still talking as if he's in the UFC. I thought he was cut... Did I miss something or isn't he already out?

He is a complete embarrassment to both sports.. he even is an embarrassment to shit. Paul Daley would knock him out with him weighing @ 430 lbs or w/e he did against randy.

Yeah cause he didnt earn that 750k he barely earned $750.00

It was already proven he can't be a legit MMA fighter, but why not give him a stand up fighter just to sell tickets? It's another non-title fight card so why not?

Was that really proven?


Fact is, any fighter from a standup background, who has trained less then a year for MMA, will stand no chance vs an olympic wrestler and multiple time UFC champion, who has been in MMA for 15 or so years.


Too often MMA fandom writes these type of guys off as MMA fighters because they can't hang with high level MMA fighters who pose massive stylistic matchup problems.

I'd love to see Toney in a matchup like the one we will see Mercer in tomorrow night.

I would love to see Lights Out fight here in Michigan. he is from here and has alot of fans in this neck of the woods.

Toney vs. Yvel, Kongo, ect...lets see against an MMA striker

Maybe Yvel.

Kongo usually takes advatage of out of shape strikers with ground games much worse than his. Kongo would take him down and pretty much do what he did to Buentello.

I say let him cause I didn't get to see Randy kick his ass so give him another chance..... against another hall of famer please.

I thought he signed a 2 fight deal.

I think he signed a 3 fight deal. But they can cut you without pay if you lose. I say put him in against Carwin!

I would be in favor had Toney made an effort for the Couture fight, but he choose to enter as a fat tub of lard.

He could have came in at a lean 185lbs and the result would have been exactly the same. I just want to see him fight another striker. See how he responds to leg and head kicks.

I think the worst grappler in the LHW or HW division still tries and likely succeeds at taking Toney to the ground in the first seconds.
