    The bigger question is, if Toney wins how much more does it make MMA look like a joke? If he loses, its because he is faatttttttt and its not his sport. But if he wins, then MMA sucks donkey ****. Oh, wait MMA already sucks donkey ****.

      The way I see it as is a win winfor MMA. If Couture wins then the media will say MMA are better than Boxing. If Toney wins then it will open a whole new market for MMA.

      I think Couture willl win by luck(as always recently) but at the same time it's a boxer(years past his best) stepping into a DIFFERENT sport, if he wins it won't help our sport put imo.

        Only among the uninformed...so the hardcore MMA fans, but nobody really cares what they think so I'm pretty sure boxing will be fine

            Mercer KTFO Sylvia, didnt change nothin...


            Even if Toney KTFO Couture, it wont change nothing...




            But, if he loses all it means is the war between MMA fans and Boxing fans continue lol More ppl will join boxing gyms if he wins

                  Naw. Everyone knows Toney is out of his element.

                  But, I think it depends more on HOW he loses, not if he loses.

                      Only among the insecure boxing and MMA fans and the uninformed.

                      Both guys are old and way past their prime, so either way I don't see why it'd matter. Now if Toney were to be fighting the #1 heavyweight or light heavyweight MMA fighter i nthe world and KTFO them it would look horrible...but Randy's been outta his prime for quite some time now, so even if Toney does win...what difference does it make? Not like he'd be taking out a top tier contender here.
