1 Thing To Remember And Consider About Toney/Couture

Idk man i feel like White picked an opponent for Toney that the Public wouldnt be outraged by, but at the same time an opponent that would kick the **** out of Toney in as little time as possible.

If he gave Toney a title shot the fans would have put up an enormous fuss.

Also this is a pretty big opportunity for the UFC to take steps forward in terms of acceptance as a sport.

Can he choose NOT to do that? Cause i doubt he'd give one if unless he HAD to to get paid

Haha, that would be so embarassing for Toney. I hope he doesn't give one.

Toney is just being used to maximize the curiousity for UFC. He has made a career in boxing, and I doubt it if he can convert himself overnight into a non-boxer. We will see him act like a boxer, and a boxer has too many limitations in mix martial arts.

Dana White wants Randy to win. To prove that a has been who's almost 50 years old can destroy a top boxer. Toney is not a top boxer anymore but that's how he is being hyped up to be at the moment.

Dana could've put him in there with a striker, but no he picked an outstanding grappler. You must be smoking some real good **** if you think Dana White wants Toney to win.

James Toney is worth a lot more to the UFC, Dana White, etc.... as the WINNER and not the loser.

This is why he is matched "softly" with a 47 year old man. If Dana wanted to abuse boxing and make a mockery out of boxing he would have matched Toney against a current UFC heavyweight.

But he did not. he matched him with a old, battle worn has been who may have zero left in his tank.

I am going on record saying Dana White wants and intends for James Toney to WIN this fight tonight.

The big pay day comes in Toney's 2nd UFC fight after the MMA fans believe Toney is "credible". At that point Toney will be matched with one of the top heavyweights in the UFC in a PPV Main Event extravaganza. At that point James's lights will go out.

Dana White would never and has NEVER matched a first timer against a champ. What are you talking about? Even Brock Lesnar didn't in his first few fights. I hate MMA and hate White even more but I have to back him up on this one point.
