    James Toney

    is 'apparently' fightong Randy Couture "of all people" in his first MMA Fight..
    I see a bad beating coming his way.

    What do you think?

    Toney by KO. The UFC fighters are a bunch overrated street fighters, no skills compared to Toney.

    i think this honestly belongs in the MMA section.
    But while we're on the topic, I don't think Randy would stand and trade.His best asset is his ground game.He has high Greco-Roman talent and it would serve him much better to put James on his back like a turtle and smash his ****ing face in.

    This will be moved to the MMA section very soon by the mods. I like Toney's chances in this fight because Couture likes to set up his takedowns with his boxing - which often leaves him open for a right hand. If anyone can land a nice right hand on Couture and follow it up - it is James Toney. However - if Toney misses he will get thrown to the ground and punished.

    Only shot for the couture is the ground butToney has long learnt a way to clinch on the ground.Back in the air, Toney knock him out easily.

    Toney is going to be destroyed. Boxer's have no place in MMA, different ball park altogether.

    The only KO will be if James wins! If James looses it will be due to a choke or submission. GO JAMES!!! I hope he wins by KO!

    Captain America doesn't have the best stand up skills but if Toney's stance is too set for boxing and not so much MMA,he'll capitalize on it. The benefit of it being an MMA fight is Randy will have a more varied set of skills.James brings just his boxing with him and he's liable to get choked out.

    I doubt Toney will have any reasonable ground skills.he lied about training with Andrei Arlovski who is a decent grappler.Randy is very good at wrestling his way out. have there been updates on his training?

    Randy can only beat him if he takes it to the ground and use his wrestling, but if he stands with Tony it's Lights Out for randy

    Randy will win via ground and pound. Toney has a chance but its doubtful he can learn years worth of grappling and ground fighting in the time he has to train for this fight. Randy Couture has been doing this for years.

    Toney needs to keep his ass out of **** like that. Couture is going to immediately take it to the ground and ground and pound or submit him easily.

    Nobody in their right mind would stand and box with Toney. It's going to the ground. If Toney surprises the world with his grappling and ground game he will win, otherwise he will lose via submission.

    Boxers don't have a place in MMA and MMA fighters don't have a place in boxing. They're two completely different sports.

    Couture wins.

    Toney is going to get taken down, and beaten into unconsciousness.....

    Honestly, with all the **** Toney has talked, he has had this beating coming to him a long time... Hopefully he gets humbled
