Toney's gonna get destroyed in MMA. Unless he fights a kickboxer or something.
Both of you guys are idiots. A kickboxer has more of chance of beating Toney. Quite easily actually..He may have a puncher's chance, but he has never been leg kicked or knee'd in the clinch before. The moment he gets hit with that, he will crumble. And if you think getting on top of him and elbowing or punchin his face or takin a limb is gay, then you dont know shit about fighting. Toney is going to get embarrassed.
Toney has a chance to KO anyone. But, against any type of grappler he will be submitted. Against any top Muay Thai guy or kickboxer, he will get worked over from the outside. A wrestler will take him down.
Toney doesn't know what he is getting himself into, other than a world of hurt.
That said, Toney still has a punchers chance, he needs to start working the sprawl.
Toney's entrance into MMA should be interesting that is for sure. If Toney can learn to defend the takedown, he could notch some big wins. I agree that he has the ability to KO anyone in the MMA world.
I think he will fight at HW, although there is a chance he fights at 205. Obviously, he didn't look in his best shape for his last fight.
Ray Mercer KO'd Tim Sylvia, who is to say Toney can't make a small dent in the competition. On the same token, Kimbo was able to submit Mercer in an unsanctioned fight.
*I appreciate comments. However, trolling comments will be deleted.
why didnt you delete first comment then, mr bias mma blaster?
The first comment is fine, he thinks Toney will get destroyed in MMA. That is a valid opinion. If you want to say that Toney will KO everyone he faces that is OK.
*Your comment was deleted because it contained a gay slur. That isn't tolerated.
I hope Toney KO's Kimbo or whoever he faces. Homeboy gots power in his hands.
what does it tell about MMAs credibility that fighter without no experience will get to fight highest level. that wouldnt happen in any other sport.
AND he will knock all those fools out.
There is a curiosity factor because Toney has really good KO power and can take a punch.
Problem is I don't think Toney has started training in kickboxing or wrestling yet, not a good sign. When Dana White asked him about checking kicks he talked about side-check kicks...
James Toney wants to fight Brock Lesnar? Out his god damned mind...Toney gonna get crushed.
