Earlier today we passed along a nice lil nugget from Roy Nelson, who in his typical fine and or controversial form, offered his less than glowing review of Shane Carwin and Brock Lesnar. Well, if you thought any of those statements were even remotely ‘shocking’, check out some of the latest comments from James Toney. Sure, Toney has talked some serious sh-t heading into his MMA debut against Randy Couture later this month, but now the accomplished boxer has targeted Dana White. Apparently Toney is…shall we say…’miffed’ about some things the UFC Pres has said recently (maybe Dana’s “freak show comments?). Here are just a couple of quotes from an interview Toney did with BJPenn.com.
“I’m the only real legend in this fight. Look what I’ve done; I’ve won 6 world titles in six different weight divisions. You know what I’m saying? I’ve been in this game 23 years. How you going to put (down) a man who’s been in the sport longer than you’ve been promoting. I know Dana White’s been running his mouth saying I’m making a mockery, or whatever, Dana White, after I get done knocking Couture out, you’re next. I promise you.”…..“I’m not Rashad Evans; I’m not Quinton Jackson. I’m not going to kiss your ass; I’m going to beat your ass. If you talk to me like a bitch I’m going to show you.”
Huh. Nothing stirs the old MMA pot like threatening the president of the world’s largest promotion…At least we’re pretty sure that’s what Toney said. Check out the video for yourself.
