Randy Couture dicusses his fight with James Toney

[SLASHEh]

have any of you guys even watched couture in his last performances?

-brock excluded ( where for the record he tried to box against )

-he tried to box big nog and was rocked ,

-he was a bit more wrestly against vera, tho more just pushing him up to the cage and dirty boxing.

-and again he stood with coleman and boxed.


I dont think he will outright stand with Toney for the fight, but i doubt itll start and he'll just shoot in for a double leg takedown. He'll most likely stand and try land a jab or two, then try get toney up to the cage and try dirty box.

In summary, I think Randy's punch resistence has deminished in the last few years and if he gets caught at all, Toney is gonna finish him. But if he can nuetralise Toney's hands then he'll win.I'll be tuning in regardless.

1st mma fight is against coture doesnt make sense at all they are trying to make toney and boxing look less a sport a dont like toney but a do hope he shocks the world when they fight but the reality is he gets took down and pounded out same goes for mayorga

I see it like this...If Toney goes in there and competes, whether he wins or loses, it's a good look for boxing because he took that risk at going at one of the greatest UFC Fighters ever. Couture is probably Toney's safest fight for his intro but let's be real. You will never see the best or even a mid-level UFC Fighter go to boxing and fight someone like Roy Jones Jr, Antonio Tarver, Jermaine Taylor or even Jeff Lacy in their first ever boxing match. There's no way Dana White will let that happen to any of his fighters. If(that's a big IF) Toney can keep the fight on their feet he has a great chance, but this doesn't look bad for boxing at all. Just my thoughts.

This fight is complete garbage.
the UFC can produce some really interesting and exciting match ups, but it also has a tendency to recycle its fighters for as long as it can.
Did anyone see when Couture fought Coleman? Coleman is a ****en dinasour and Rogan had the audacity to say that he had never trained correct his entire career and finally did for this fight!!!!
Another example is when Hughes fought one of the Gracie brothers and Hughes carried him the entire fight.
This is just an excuse for White to have another PPV, the UFC seems to have one every other week.

Exactly. No shame in losing as long as you tried.

Thts UFC's MO. This time he trained well last time he didn't blah blah blah. There is a video of Chuck Lidells entrances and everytime they say "wow look at Chuck Liddell's stare hes back or some ****"
