Comments Thread For: Dana White: James Toney is Capable, Couture Should Win

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The talking is almost done. This Saturday night, two legends will collide in the octagon for bragging rights. The Ultimate Fighting Championship debuts in the state of Massachusetts at the TD Garden in Boston. One of the most talked about fights on this particular pay-per-view card, UFC 118, will showcase a boxing vs. mixed martial arts encounter when James "Lights Out" Toney makes his MMA debut against Randy "The Natural" Couture.

Toney, with a record of 72-6-3, 44KOs as a boxer, and a former middleweight, super middleweight and cruiserweight champion, will put his money where his mouth is, when he challenges Couture, who sports a record of 18-10, 10 by TKO/Submission. Couture is a former UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion. Toney's record has key wins over Evander Holyfield, Vassily Jirov, Mike McCallum, Tim Littles, Iran Barkley and Michael Nunn. Couture's record is equally impressive, with key wins over Tim Sylvia, Victor Ortiz, Chuck Liddell, Vitor Belfort, Mark Coleman, Pedro Rizzo and Maurice Smith

revamped.......

Beating a 41-year-old past his prime boxer won't prove anything.

Why didn't they accept the challenge when Kermit Cintron wanted to fight MMA? Too scared of his wrestling background.

And Roy Jones was willing to fight Anderson Silva but Dana White was terrified that Silva would try and stand with Jones.

[Heeb]

Well, of course Dana will say that. He wants you to buy the fight, thinking it'll be competitive.

[Malius]

Kermit accepted but then he realised he couldn't fall out of the ring.

That get swept under the rug a lot. Kermit publicly challenged the whole UFC, and Dana White blew him off as a nobody.

That's bull****. Cintron never seriously wanted to enter the UFC. Toney was the first guy to actually fly down to Vegas and sign a contract. When Cintron cried wolf and said he was going to retire over the Williams loss, a few places asked him if he was going to consider a career in MMA. He said "I'm not interested in any of that."
