Just two weeks away from his UFC debut, James Toney continues to send mixed signals about his mixed martial arts training and respect for the sport as he prepares to fight MMA legend Randy Couture.
Toney, who took part in a Thursday conference call to hype the UFC 118 co-main event, used some of his Q&A time to discount Couture’s chances and skills, dismiss various parts of the MMA game and simply recite his boxing resume to explain why he’d win.
The multi-time, multi-divisional boxing champion offered little in the way of specifics in regards to the work he’s been putting in for his first foray into his new sport, instead offering on multiple occasions that he was “born to win” and that “James don’t lose.”
