Toney is like Kimbo Slice in a lot of ways…have to deal with him carefully to keep him winning, but Couture is a very big problem.Ĭouture has held the light heavyweight title in the UFC twice and is known for his ground and pound…not a good thing for Toney. The thinking going into this fight is to set up an older guy with a name for Toney to beat and then move on. Randy Couture is no spring chicken at 46 years of age. He has stopped fighters 190 and up from accumulation. He’s a good hitter, but he doesn’t have the big KO punch to send a heavyweight to the floor with one shot. James Toney does not have a powerful punch.

Frans Botha lost far more than he won, and Butterbean, when he’s not sumo wrestling Bob Sapp, is usually losing in the cage, unless he’s facing a former pro wrestler. Former WBO Champion, Ray Mercer failed miserably, losing badly to backyard brawler, Kimbo Slice. Briggs was smart enough to get in and get out, winning his fight and coming back to the sport that he knows best. Shannon Briggs, Ray Mercer, Frans Botha, and Butterbean, have all made their ways into MMA with mixed results. When boxers are near the tail end of their careers, they often move over to the MMA for the money and a new start.
When you consider that he has been fighting as a pro since 1989 and that he has 81 professional fights under his belt, it’s hard to believe that he is still fighting, let alone changing arts. He has signed a contract with the UFC and take on the world’s best MMA fighters, but there are many problems facing him and this is not going to end well. Now, at 41, he is going for a different sort of title, a championship in the world of Mixed Martial Arts. Toney, desperately behind on the cards, did what he had to do to secure victory and soon began his journey through boxing, leading to titles in the middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight, cruiserweight, and eventually heavyweight divisions. On May 10, 1991, James “Lights Out” Toney, an undefeated 157 pound boxer, captured the IBF Middleweight Title in stunning knockout fashion, stopping Michael Nunn, the undefeated champion in the eleventh round.
