those guys are hyped up street thugs. they got no stand up game or chin. toney will catch that guy with a counter right bang on the chin and put him out in the first 10 seconds.
the vast majority of MMA fighters are disciplined black belts or college wrestling standouts and graduates. They fight with 4 oz gloves which are pretty much meant to let you punch without breaking your hand at minimum. The only hyped up street thug to ever get noticed was Kimbo Slice and he's actually learning how to properly apply his strengths and learn how to fight beyond his glorified bum fighting youtube **** videos. Toney ran his mouth and stalked Dana White for a contract and he's going to get a rude awakening for all the **** he's talked when he's dragged down and gets his face busted.
Guess there's no training footage of Toney on the net yet? I wanna see that... I got Couture winning this one, unless he get's beat standing up very early. I see him trying his hand in the beginning but eventually taking Toney down. It's during this 'feeling-out' process I think Toney may have a chance at catching him and finishing him off..
Toney is fat. If he gets taken down he's done imo. If he lands a good right on Randy it's lights out.
I don't care WHO James Toney is fighting. He loses to any decent MMA fighter. Dude is way too flat footed to be fighting in MMA, and he doesn't have one-punch KO power. Everything that made Toney special in boxing is of little or no use in MMA because it would leave him wide open for a takedown. Maybe his jab will help some, but that's about it.
Bad move from Dana. If Couture wins so what. Terrible style matchup and Toney is a has been. If Couture loses then MMA loses even more credibility. It will be right down to WWF status.
seems dana white is throwing james to the wolves right off the bat. I thought they signed toney to a contract that involved several fights but it seems he wont make it past his first outting. Dana is trying to make toney look the fool.
oh no he's got more than one fight.The UFC signs people for multiple fights because in the UFC the matchmaking is so that you can't duck anyone so it's harder to pad your record.They've signed plenty of people that were absolute beasts in Japan and then they'll lose 2-3 in a row,win again,and then stay on contract. if he does absolutely **** poor in the sense of it doesn't even look like he was trying that hard or he showed no heart or effort,yea they'll cut you like a tumor.
