Enough with Toney already MMA fans, it was embarrassing for him to fight MMA in the UFC and you UFC was dumb for doing it.

Yeah, i freak fights are fine, when they're in Japan and you're used to them. No big deal, lot's are fun to watch. But the one thing UFC ppv's had recently not done was piss away televised spots to these type of guys.
An aged Royce and a 265 pound Lesnar had there high qualities, but once Kimbo got on with Mitrione and i had to watch Couture/Toney... it's simply not worth my money.
I expect 5 good fights on a card. Not 4, and a throw away... if the UFC wants to be in line with the big sports, they would save these type of fights for TUF finales.

All I gatta say about James Toney is,
WTF did everyone expect, a boxer againts bjj blackbelt, might as well have ufc 1 all over again. Its mma James Toney, get real, you dont stand a chance. Whats ganna happen next fight? They'll take him down and submit him, is it really a surprise, or even a question as to whats ganna happen on his next fight? Might as well not let him fight, it proves nothing but the fact that he needs to learn bjj. Idk if someone said this already, I hope someone has, I didn't read any of the comments.

Boooo. Anyone that gets taken down with a low single and the gets mounted all in one move doesn't deserve to step in a cage ever again. It was hillarious yes, but worth a co-main event and a little less than a million bucks, no way. I think that Toney is trying tol play everyone for a fool. He knows boxing is fading and he's good at building up fights so why not try to milk the mma vs boxing crowd. Its pretty similar to what Mike Tyson did before he retired. He didn't care about winning or even boxing he just used his name to make alolt of money. He didn't want to win, he just knew the old fans would want tlo see him come back and alolt of people watched that boxing match. He sold a lot of tickets, made a lot of money but lost his fights.
It honestly wouldn't surprise me if what we saw on the countdown was the extent of his training. King Mo said that Toney was stuffing some of Mo's shots and even grab a guillotine on him. This all sounds like a load of bulls--- to me. If he was truly training he would have know the basics such as having a low stance to prevent takedowns, keepin light feet and not be opn your heels, learning how to tap correctly... and so on. He is an embarassment and a waste of everyones time.

If it aint Pac or Money, I don't really care about "boxing vs mma" at this point. Toney was a good sideshow for one night and I'd think it would be better if that's what the UFC kept it at.

It made me sick to my stomach to see Toney get paid half a mil for that fight when the young fighters on the undercard were fighting their guts out for 6k. F*ck James Toney!

I don't want him wasting a PPV slot. Offer him a spot on Spike or on the undercard and pay him barely above scale. He will never do this of course because he thinks he's worth millions, but he ain't worth s--- a an MMA event.

I thought this freak show was over. James Toney can't even talk and he has no business fighting MMA. I hope Dana comes to his senses and realizes this. It's a black eye to the sport when they do this crap. :x

Ok so I was thinking about Toney's next fight and who it should be, I'm thinking Mabye Roy Nelson or the winner of the Mir vs Cro Cop, what do ya'll think?

I think you should stop thinking about it. His next fight should be against a boxer in a boxing ring. Preferably a boxer who will knock his dumbass out. It was pretty clear he didn't train MMA
at all
for his fight. Hiring some combat instructor from the FBI? He should have been at AKA or ATT. They should have had his *** in a gi doing nothing but rolling/practicing escapes for a month. Screw him. He doesn't take MMA seriously and he got his *** whooped because of it. Goodbye.
