    I just think it was silly of Toney to go up against one of the strongest and most experienced wrestlers in UFC. Even experienced mma fighters dont enter the UFC and fight someone like Couture in their first fight. Why fight someone who is so good at neutralising punchers by squashing them against the cage? EVEN WITHIN BOXING FIGHTERS CHOOSE THEIR OPPONENTS WISELY!! If he had had an opponent who was more striking based then it might have been more entertaining. Maybe if Toney trained mma for 5 years then might have been different.

      If they really want to show boxing up they should send Couture over to boxing to fight Wladamir or Vitali Klitschko.

      If Couture wins I'll happily swtich over and watch UFC and never boxing again.

      The guy would get a beating which would retire him from both sports, permanently.

      The Toney fight only confirmed what we already knew, take someone who is good in one sport and put him in another and they'll be wank. Imagine Tiger Woods playing snooker, or Lionel Messi playing Rugby.

          That if they want to "show boxing up" as they seem so eager to do they need to send over their best to beat our best in our own sport?

              What's funny is in the promos leading up to the fight, there's a sound bite of Randy saying "I'm tired of boxer talking smack about our stand up." Yea, you really answered that criticism.

                GSP walks around at 190. PBF walks around 160

                  give mayweather enough money and he would fight his own mother.

                      On the contrary I think it was a huge embarassment to the UFC that they made such an ill advised matchup.
