I was right. So **** all of you dumb morons who called me a dick on this and other threads for saying this. An MMA fighter would never be able to stroll into a high-profile fight with a world-class professional boxer, because boxing authorities would not sanction it, irrespective of whether the MMA fighter "called out" the boxer or the sport, or any other playground meaningless garbage like that. It demeans and degrades the sport of MMA when the authorities allow a novice to fight a highly decorated world-class professional, this would not happen in serious sports. I hope everyone has learned a lesson tonight.
Popkins, you thought Toney would get brutalized etc This forum should've been locked for week or so after the fight, so everyone could calm down :nod
Erm, yes I did, and that's exactly what happened. Couture finished by submission rather than by GnP, but he did exactly what I said he would, he took Toney down immediately, rained punches down on him from the top position, then finished without taking ANY damage whatsoever himself. What part of this is giving you trouble? :huh
how can MMA be disgraced further than this? This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfDIgboeSSc[/ame]
I couldn't watch that anymore..my God..first thing I thought of, was my dog in the back yard running after me..but for the fighter...if he clocks the guy with no arms..then he is a bully..but if he get beat..then YIKES!:bbb
i seen this guy wrestling before on you tube, ****ing great wrestler for someone with no limbs as for the mma that was ****ing sick to watch but hey im sure thats what that kyle guy wants to do ...........i say let him compete
and probably all of MMA for not condemning it. This content is protected they basically make it a feel good piece, an unfortunate man overcoming the odds. This content is protected more feel good bull****. -Espn same uplifting story of a unlucky man pursuing a dream. To be fair kyle maynard had to go to alabama to fight because they dont have a fight commission there - no state athletic commission would sanction it. I remember it well It was only 1 year ago (april 2009) and that feel good story was the mood of the day no concern that maynard couldn't defend himself or had no chance of victory while risking his healthan perhaps. The mma community did not come out against this, not in significant numbers. want to know why because mma rating are good for the sport. this bull**** match between toney and couture gets good ratings. thats what matters and you know it. even though pitting their "captian America" against tony basically shows their fear of boxers coming into MMA and winning. so the ufc marketing machine created an illusion of a respectable fight that was stacked in the favor of the MMA legend(randy couture). It is clear to see. I did want to see toney be victorious simply to witness the epic villainy of the infuriating smack-talking negro:twisted: be created. next hope..... floyd mayweather jr:happy:happy:happy Just kiddin, chicken floyd to scared!! but damn imagine the hype on that one.
Floyd ain't fighting the top guy in his sport let alone MMA. Hell, he went to WWE and didn't fight the best
