JAMES TONEY SIGNS WITH THE UFC, DESPITE BEING OFFERED "CHUMP CHANGE"
Desperate times call for desperate measures and if you're a 41-year-old future Hall-of-Fame boxer hoping to land a meaningful fight in the wasteland known as the heavyweight division, times are indeed desperate. According to reports, James "Lights Out" Toney has decided to temporarily hang up his boxing gloves in order to move forward with a career in mixed martial arts. UFC President Dana White has confirmed that the boxing legend has signed a multi-fight deal with the UFC. read more http://www.fighthype.com/pages/content7069.html (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dntknw.gif) |

'Cause I'm thinking, unless he gets matched up right, Toney is going to get humbled by RNC his first fight out. And I do NOT want to see that happen. I'm a huge fight fan, first and foremost, and Toney is onle of my all-time faves. It won't be a good look for him. |

What the hell is James Toney going to do in there?
White is using Toney to mock boxing while making a few bucks...and it's going to work. |

It's on now...no matter what happens, James should get mad props for putting his ass where his mouth is. Good for him for even trying something like this at 41...

I'm happy for him that he's getting the opportunity to challenge himself at this point in his career. At 41, most athletes are just wasting time in between doctor appointments...James on the other hand, is attempting to compete at a different sport. Good for him, I hope he does well. |
