Randy Couture dicusses his fight with James Toney

[Kakutogi-Gumi]

Ray Mercer had no MMA training what so ever. He expected Kimbo to stand up with him and trade for the whole fight.

Bull****! Ricardo Liborio was in Mercer's corner yelling at him on how to get out of that choke. He was training at ATT when the bout was signed.

He's made more money in his last 3 fights then he had in his entire stay with pride. I want Fedor in the UFC too but I can also see why he's so loyal to them.

He'd be making that type of money even if he wasn't with M-1, IMO. Simply because he's Fedor.

Everybody wants to have him fighting under their banner.

[drh]

i still can't believe toney will go ahead with this.

he is the purest boxer i know of..i've never even seen him clinch.

mma is not for him.

[Kakutogi-Gumi]

This is the same thing as what they did to Lesnar.

It didn't hurt Amateur Wrestling, so relax.

war toney !!!!
knock this ***** out

[johnle43]

I must be insane because I think Toney has a shot.

nope, well, maybe, but then i guess we're both insane lol.

A typical MMA fight is mostly spent on the feet and striking anyways.

i can really picture toney Knocking this muthafooker out even FROM HIS BACK if cotoure is thinking of ground n pound.

and if they stand then yeah its lights out of course.

cotoure only hope is submission or leg kicks (and he isnt that great at subs FYI) thats it.

how great would it be if toney ended up as lhw champ. if a completely shot mercer put tim sylvia to sleep with one punch, i'd say it's possible. all he needs is a few big punches.

Couture isn't Sylvia.

Couture outboxed Sylvia.

[geribeetus]

Couture isn't Sylvia.

Couture outboxed Sylvia.

that's not the point. mma fans considered sylvia to have an iron chin before mercer's old ass put him down for a 30 count

if mercer can do it at heavy, toney can do it at light heavy

[deuce_drop]

unless toney has world class american wrestling in his tool box, he's going to lose, it's too easy for a wrestler to take a boxer down, and once that happens, it's a no go for toney............ couture will always be a beast on the ground, especially against someone who doesn't have anywhere near the experience has him.

if couture is nice, he will try and keep it up on his feet until he's not feeling that he's winning standing up, then it goes to the ground and he pounds out a win.


not a good fight for toney.
