"David Haye is a fag, so I don't worry about him. As far as Dana White goes, the only freak show I got is the one between my legs. I'll let him see it and slap him with it if he wants. My thing is, Dana White doing all of that talkin', after I knock his boy out, he can get in the cage. He do all that talkin' like he's a fighter, you know what I'm sayin'? Alls he gotta do is take his nice slippers off and come up in the cage and I will whoop his ass too. All of that shit will be over," stated future Hall of Famer James "Lights Out" Toney as he responded to recent comments made by UFC President Dana White and WBA heavyweight champion David Haye regarding his upcoming August 28 showdown with UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture at UFC 118. As usual, Toney had a lot to get off of his chest and you don't want to miss what else he had to say about Dana White, David Haye, UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar and much more.
PC: You have been dealing with David Haye calling you delusional, MMA fans saying you're going to be taken down and pounded out, and now Dana White calling your fight a freak show. If you were any other fighter, I would be nervous that it would be getting to you right about now, but you are one of the calmest and seasoned fighters out there. How are you dealing with everything?
JT: David Haye is a fag, so I don't worry about him. He can keep on doing what he doing and fight Fraudley Harrison and other no-names. As far as Dana White goes, the only freak show I got is the one between my legs. I'll let him see it and slap him with it if he wants. My thing is, Dana White doing all of that talkin', after I knock his boy out, he can get in the cage. He do all that talkin' like he's a fighter, you know what I'm sayin'? Alls he gotta do is take his nice slippers off and come up in the cage and I will whoop his ass too. All of that shit will be over.
PC: Haye did have a lot to say about you. He gave you somewhat of a compliment and then went on to say that you can't pick MMA up in 6 months, that he hits harder than you and that you're delusional. He also said he's not fighting Audley Harrison...
JT: (Cutting in) I heard it [the fight with Audley Harrison] was signed! David Haye needs to stop all of that cryin'. He wants to say he is the man and all of that, but he ain't no man; he's a girl! He's a bitch! He's a bitch in sheep's clothing and that motherfucker can't spell fight. He a little pretty boy that doesn't have a chin. He thinks he's fast and he claims he hits harder than me, but if he hits harder than me and I'm old, come get rid of me. Come do me in. Like I said, after August 28th, I'm not lookin' past my man Randy Couture, after that though, I have an open date for his [David Haye's] punk ass. And if he really thinks he's bad, tell him to take this shit to Vegas. Let's bring boxing back to the town where it should be; the big show.
PC: He also did some MMA training and...
JT: (Cutting in) But he ain't me. I'm not weak like him. He is a retarded individual. He fights like he's one of Jerry's Kids. I'm not even worried about what he sayin'. "MMA is tough and..." He's weak! He ain't built like me. He ain't cut from the same cloth. We entirely two different individuals and he's soft. I'm not even worried about him, trash-sharin' motherfucker.
PC: I'm hearing a lot of good things coming from your camp. How is the training going for the Couture fight in August?
JT: Man, I ain't doing nothin' but tryin' to kill everybody now. It's just like boxing. It took me a little while to adapt, but once I adapted to it, it's like new money. Everything is coming easier and it's going smoother.
PC: Dave told me you were getting a lot of love at UFC 116. What was the fanfare like for you out there?
JT: The fans were tremendous, man, they showed me a lot of love out there. I was really impressed with your boy King Mo Lawal. That motherfucker...he off the chain. Him and his boys, they treated me well, dog, I love 'em. I ain't got nothin' but love for that boy, and respect, man. He showed that he's really the truth. You told me. You told me about him and I said, "Okay, I gotta scope him out for myself." But King Mo is the real deal.
PC: I know you watch a lot of boxing when you're not preparing for a fight, but you still don't watch too much MMA. What was it like being at UFC 116 and what did you think of the card?
JT: I was impressed with Chris Leben and I was impressed with Stephan Bonnar. They come to fight. That's what the fans want. That's what we need in boxing. We don't need no mismatches, like Chavez and Duddy. Those two guys were garbage; extra garbage. The only reason they give him the props that he got is because of his daddy. His daddy wasn't shit anyway. His daddy lost to Pernell Whitaker and then after that, he fought taxi cab drivers. And they had the nerve to put it on pay-per-view? Oh my goodness. That's why, even though Dana White is a toes-eatin' motherfucker, he puts on good shows every month, you know what I'm saying? In boxing, it's all about the main event, but at MMA events, the people are in their seats at the prelims, dog. When is the last time you seen that from us?
PC: It's been a long time, man.
JT: So like I say, after August 28th, I'm going to win in the UFC, then I'm coming back to boxing and defending my title. Hopefully, I can have a unification bout with that bitch David Haye and then I'm going back to the UFC and hopefully, I can fight ol' stiff-ass, coward-ass Brock Lesnar. That motherfucker ain't shit. Then, did he have the nerve to say he's still a bad motherfucker after the fight?
PC: He said he's still the toughest S.O.B. on the block.
JT: Well that motherfucker had a pink skirt on that night. You don't turn your back and run from punches. They ain't never seen me, but come August 28th, I'm going to be ready; all guns blazing. They have no idea.
PC: My man Daniel Cormier told me he met you at the weigh-ins for 116, and at the fights, and told me to tell you that you a real dude.
JT: I have to be real because you know what? If I wasn't being real, it wouldn't be me and then you would have to go around calling me a Good Ol' Boy, like Rampage Jackson. I'm just me, man. I'm doing me, James T, a nigga from the D. I'm from Grand Rapids, by way of Ann Arbor, and I love all of my homies. I represent Michigan, period.
PC: We have a reader, named Deric Thompson, who said he's gonna bring the crew out there in Boston to support you.
JT: I want all of my Goons from the Bean to come out and holla at me. Don't be scared to walk up to me. Holla at ya boy because I'm touchable, you know what I'm saying? I ain't no stuck-up motherfucker. I love my people. I love black, white people; it don't matter. If you a Goon, you a Goon and you down with me.
PC: Glad I can catch up with you my man. We'll have you on more leading up to the fight. Give me something in closing JT.
JT: Percy "No Mercy", him and his site is the best thing online. He got the best thing online in his time. I can't wait to do what I'm gonna do on August 28th. Percy, God bless you, man; love you man. You are a helluva dude, man, and tell King Mo I said, "What's happening!"
