Future Hall of Famer James "Lights Out" Toney not only has that fire back in his eyes, but he's also been extremely impressive in his MMA training regimen. "He's losing weight very well and he has that fire back in his eyes. I'd be the first to tell you if he was slipping, but even with the ground stuff today, I was impressed man," a source informed us after witnessing firsthand one of Toney's training sessions. According to reports, Toney is putting in the work and has been threatening some of the partners that he's been rolling with. "He told the cats that he was rolling with that if they went easy on him, they would have to spar him afterwards and he would tear their ass up, so he's taking this serious man," the source added.
This is good news for any Toney fans. If there was ever any doubt that Toney would not take the MMA side of his training seriously, rest asssured that he's definitely working on all aspects of the sport. Although it has yet to be confirmed, all signs point to Toney making his Octagon debut when the UFC makes it's debut in Boston this August. As of now, his opponent is expected to be UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture. Much more to come as FightHype expects to get regular updates from the Toney camp.
