Former boxing champion and one time UFC fighter James “Lights Out” Toney responded to comments from former UFC light-heavyweight champ Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, who called him out on a recent episode of HDNEt’s Inside MMA.
Toney spoke to FightHype.com to pass the word on that he’ll take the fight with the “Fake Mr. T” if he’s willing to sign the contract.
“The only thing that the Fake Mr. T has to do is sign the contract.Rampage is a decent club fighter and if he thinks his club fighting style can match my skills, then he is crazy as hell…What? Is he mad because I called him an Uncle Tom or because I said Detroit wouldn’t accept him? My boy said Rampage stayed in his room and they were in Auburn Hills. They knew better than to go to the D where I’m from. Rampage is still an Uncle Tom and I will go on record and say he is not dumb enough to stand and trade with me.”
If this is another way for James Toney to get another fight in the UFC he’s probably going about it the wrong way. A fight between the two will never happen as UFC fighters are restricted from participating in combat sports outside of the octagon.
Toney is definitely an entertaining individual and we look forward to hearing “Rampage’s” response.
