Around SBN: Dana White Announces Koscheck vs. Hendricks for UFC on FOX

UFC 118: James Toney doesn't care about David 'Gay' or Bernard Hopkins and his busted teeth

James_toney_loves_america_medium

Props: ESPN.co.uk

Quoteworthy:

"I don't like neither one of them anyway so it don't matter. I don't care about the boxing community. I care about James Toney. It's about James Toney and Randy Couture. It's not about James Toney and boxing and James Toney and MMA. This is James Toney and Randy Couture so for Bernard he can go somewhere and get his damn teeth fixed. And David Haye, he's gay. I don't care about none of that. So they can just listen to all their bull****."

James Toney is unfazed by criticism directed towards his decision to enter the Octagon against five time UFC champion Randy Couture at UFC 118 on Aug. 28 in Boston. Bernard Hopkins is convinced it will be "Lights Out" for the aging pugilist and David Haye called Toney "delusional" for trying to make it as an MMA fighter. Anyone think the boxing community will be eating crow the morning after?

It’s up to two men into the ring and only one is going to get out there as a winner.

well those boxer do care about the boxing community

Bacause of james toney (overwashed boxer who is known for his defense and not offense) this fight has turned into boxing vs mma.

And hopkins and haye are very realistic about the chances a boxer has in mma.
It takes at least a year to learn the aspect of a ground game

I'm glad Hopkins is calling it as it is....

The fact is that Toney was a very good boxer…but it’s not a boxing match and there is no way in hell he can even get to an semi-pro level of ground game….If Randy can slam the likes of Tito, Gonzaga and the big statue of Sylvia… he’ll for sure slam Toney to the mat… and from there Lights Out for Lights Out!

Key word being "was"

Toney hasn’t been a threat in years. He didn’t crossover because he wanted to,he crossed over because boxing was done with him.

Haha!
And David Haye, he’s gay. I don’t care about none of that.

Love the comeback?

there's no way you ca come back from it

it’s like the nuclear bomb of slagging someone off. once you’ve been told you’re gay then you’re done, shut your mouth, pack up bags, go home, the end…you’ve just been done

He actually said this 2 weeks ago but it took this long to translate it to English

Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.

So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.

straight aids

falls under the classification of good aids and is labbelled as such, like blood transfusion aids. bad aids are junky aids and gay aids. everyone knows this, they teach it in school

that was a pussy jab if i have ever seen one.

im curious as to what he will sound like

after randy takes him down and punches/elbows toney in the face repeatedly.

never have any regrets, because at the time, thats all you wanted to do

by child on Aug 13, 2010 8:24 PM EDT up reply actions  

he will say he aint a real man and did that homo wrestling stuff

the invite him to a bout “in his world.”

Shogun will have the longest championship reign in the UFC

"aging pugilist" has to be the catch phrase of any james toney post...

even though he’s 5 years younger than randy… may I suggest “Prehistoric” 5 time UFC Champion?

Hopkins, say waht?

   …So according to Hopkins, MMA is gay, but Toney is gonna get his ass kicked? Was that his version of a withdrawn statement? I guess he thinks MMA fighters are legitimate, after all…

by Erbros on Aug 13, 2010 6:09 PM EDT reply actions  

hplins recanted those statements a few weeks ago

He said he has alot of respect for mma fighters and he knows that a good mma fighter would beat any good pro boxer in mma.

i do recall that myself. maybe hopkins trained and sparred with a mma fighter and was dropped like a sack of bricks.

Boxer's chance!!

there’s always a chance that the perfect uppercut will land on that perfect spot creating that beautiful chin music! lol. but seriously there’s gotta be a reason why they call him James “lights out” Toney. Has anyone seen the money line on this fight!!! whoa

by Kenny Welch on Aug 13, 2010 6:27 PM EDT reply actions  

suprised or not?

Randy couture is 1/8 to win and toney is 5/1!!

Im a little suprised i was expecting 1/3 or 1/4 maybe but 1/8 thats crazy, no money to be had there on couture!!

by the real mo on Aug 13, 2010 7:09 PM EDT reply actions  

I agree with him,

why should he be concerned what other boxers, or people think? All that matters is his training and the fight itself.

by theworldismine on Aug 13, 2010 7:25 PM EDT reply actions  

Toney ur making a fat fool of urself.

Atleast David Haye shows respect to MMA and knows how hard it is. Even if he is an awesome boxer. He doesnt talk nonsense or talks a not understandable language ( <- Toney XD.)

Toney is just bashing now on MMA. and he will be tought a lesson by Couture.

Hayes is not an awesome boxer, let's be real here

Toney hasn’t been an awesome boxer since he left middleweight. If he got in shape I might take him seriously, but he is a joke and has been for some time. He is famous for taking a beating from bigger fighters.

lol riiight

didnt u see the bout with Nikolai Valuev. ? he made him do the chicken dance.

Not me. I'm glad that piece of garbage retired. USA USA USA!!

But then we went from a World Champion from the UK to World Champions(plural) from Mother Russia.

UGH. No wonder no one cares about the Heavyweight division anymore…

to be fair Lewis was not born here in the UK

he was originally from Canada he fought in the Olimpics for Canada then as a pro for UK but it doesn’t matter where he’s from he was the best heavyweight boxer of all time appart from Henry Cooper (this is just my opinion) anyway boxing is gay MMA all the way
