"Exclusive: James Toney signs multi-fight deal with UFC Posted by Cory Brady on Wednesday, March 3, 2010 at 3:58 pm· 7 Comments After months of speculation following James Toney making his intentions to fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship public, one of the greatest boxers of our time is now set to embark on his career in mixed martial arts. FiveOuncesofPain.com has been informed through sources close to the situation that James Toney has recently been signed to a multi-fight contract with the UFC. Toney was seen during UFC 108 while attempting to track down UFC President Dana White in hopes of negotiating terms for the boxer to enter the UFC, although more recent comments from Toney made it appear as though the deal, if any, was dead in the water before today. "

Ill just say we will see how this goes, im sure they are gonna have him fight a no-name striking based fighter that doesnt kick much first, what im interested in are his next two fights after that one

who gives a fuck

UFC is lame

3/4/2010 4:59:11 PM

you're better than that

and I have a tough time believing Toney is going to be competitive with the current group of faster heavyweights at the top

it's probably just a ploy to bring boxing fans in who wouldn't normally otherwise watch

""If they think I'm going to go in there and get choked out or lay down and get my armbarred and all that, they got another thing coming to 'em, you know what I'm saying? Like I said, yeah, you're right, MMA is not like boxing because boxing is tougher, you know what I'm saying? I look at it like this, if a guy get in there and try to take me to the ground, he might see his head go into orbit. The head is going into orbit, for real. These guys in MMA, they good wrestlers and good grapplers and good kickers, like girls, but, you know, when it comes to throwing them blows, they ain't got a chance in hell, you know what I'm saying? Then they say I don't got a chance if I go to the floor. Hey, the only way you gonna know is if you tune in and watch. And that's what I want you to do. Pay your $54.95, come see James Toney. If you hate me, come see me try to get beat, if you love me, you enjoy the ride, have a good time and eat your popcorn." "Hey, they gonna see a whole arsenal. They gonna see kicks, they gonna see experience and everything. And my forte right now is slamming." "

WAR! Toney

this is seriously gonna be the most entertaining build up to a fight weve seen in MMA, im all for it

BHS you think he's got a shot against Couture?

Certainly staying on his feet would give him a better chance

8/23/2010 8:21:49 PM

Toney is going to get stomped.

8/24/2010 1:03:13 PM

Couture would have a better chance against him in a boxing match than he will against Couture in MMA. He's gonna get fucking punished.

8/24/2010 1:04:39 PM

did he go to state or something?

8/24/2010 1:43:27 PM

Without looking into it, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he never finished high school

8/24/2010 1:52:02 PM

what?

8/24/2010 1:52:03 PM

Randy can bang and bang hard lol
will be an interesting fight

8/24/2010 4:12:40 PM

He's the Manny Pacquiao of the higher weight classes. Hard to believe he has fought as light as 156 and as heavy as 257. I don't think this will end well, but he's had some great interviews over the years and I'm interested to hear what he says after the fight.
