Former boxer James “Lights Out” Toney will make his much anticipated MMA debut against UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture at UFC 118 on August 28, in Boston. Most fans and critics agree Toney has little chance of beating Couture, but not only does Toney believe he’ll win, he believes he’ll do so by choking out the former multiple-time champion.
Toney also says he originally wanted to fight Brock Lesnar, but he was unaware of Lesnar’s absence due to an intestinal illness. He also says he came to MMA since everyone in MMA is too afraid to come to boxing.
I must advise everyone to listen closely to Toney because, honestly, it’s hard to understand the majority of what he’s saying. In fact, it’s hard to believe that any athletic commission would actually allow him to fight. Take a listen and judge for yourself.
