White will want Couture to beat Toney, he'll want to capture the casual fight fan and make them think that MMA is the better sport, an old boxer beating one of the UFC's most famous fighters would be embarrassing for White.
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.
