    he got fed to Frank Mir, a shot, washed up ex-champ. He wasn't supposed to lose that fight.

    Go to the scene of boxing to check it out. Just an announcement he has signed no opponents or dates named.

    Wow. I never thought I'd see the day. Toney is easily the most technical boxer that will ever step inside the octagon. I'm very curious as to how this might play out. However - it would not surprise me in the least if none of his fights ever happened.

    James has a style all wrong for MMA. What's he gonna do when he gets taken down? It's not like james is a mobile guy. Pathetic! Bad move.

    Toney will get whipped by any legitimate UFC fighter, bad move for James.

    i can't believe this. they're actually giving toney money after all the **** he's been talking. thats hilarious. it would be so funny if he just knocked out every guy he fought and walked right through to a championship fight.

    Toney will KO every guy in the heavy division UNLESS they get a hold of him. No way james lasts against even the C level MMA heavy if they get him on his back or anywhere on the ground. They put him in a leg lock, kamora, rear naked choke hold, or armbar and it's over.

    No - I say that because Toney has been so injury ridden over recent years. I wouldn't be surprised if he was injured in training along the way.

    Yup. But like Herschel Walker (former NFL star), they will match Toney up with tomato cans he can beat. Then maybe after a few fights, after building some appeal, he'll fight someone real and get his ass kicked royally.

    it would be great. the only issues are he's old, out of shape, and last time i watched him fight (against fres oquendo) he lost his balance and literally rolled out of the ring. :patsch

    If they dont get hold of him he could beat every heavyweight in UFC. But they will.
