    I see Toney getting absolutely demolished. He's not fit enough for the ground game, on top of his inexperience. But I'm not sure UFC is trying to make boxing look bad. I think it's just a way to get one more high-profile bout out of Couture, who otherwise wouldn't draw anymore. Seems to be UFC is struggling to put on top cards, or they're just putting on too many. What was with having Liddel fight again?

      Of course they did. Hopefully it back fires though... and if Toney lands something on Couture's weak ass chin, it will.

          If TONEY actually lands something Couture is going to sleep. Having said that Toney's gonna have to stop the take down or its a wrap son.
