How? He said in his latest Youtube video that he is gonna fight for a title unification in boxing. I couldnt understand who it was against because he mumbles like a son b----.
How did Dana allow this or is he bluffing? is this a 1 and done fight?

He signed Toney so he can lose and leave

Dana had no choice if he wanted to sign him. The guy does hold a HW title, he wasn't going to completely stop boxing to make less money in MMA.

Well, why isnt it talked about more about how Toney can do boxing(another promotion) and Fedor cant?

I'm assuming you are talking about Sambo and Dana White agreed to let Fedor compete in Sambo and fight for the UFC.

At least he doesn't have to fight a big scary Russian in either sport. He really would die.

I've got a feeling they'll pull a Kimbo on him. Sign him to get some extra Pay Per Views...he loses..then they drop him.

Id really like to know if the UFC would allow Overeem to keep competing in K1.

This actually makes me think the UFC could potentially sign Overeem if they let him continue to fight in K1. I believe that would be the one big stumbling block and if you let Toney box, then you should let Overeem kickbox right? Wow, interesting...

think toneys contract is only for one fight in the UFC so he wont be part of the UFC when he boxes.

naaaah they always knew Toney is a one fight deal, cause he'll probably lose. Overeem can actually beat any UFC HW...so it would be a risk to sign him for one fight...he kicks Lesnar's *** and then his gone...it will expose UFC's HWs Dana doesnt want that

You really dont think Overeem 2.0 can beat Brock, Carwin, JDS, Cain???
None of them has a striking nearly as good as Overeem. Reem has also the size and strength to hang with the big guys and unlike any of those top UFC HW, he actually has submissions. He is more skilled and complete in every area than any of top UFC HWs, He has way more experience than all of them put together..and he is much younger than Carwin and Brock.
you still dont see it?

I agree Overeem can definitely beat them, I was just saying that Overeem had only lost to one strikeforce HW and no UFC HWs just LHW, Liddell, Lil Nog x 2 and Shogunx2. More a statistical point than an opinion on the fights.
