Trevor Sherman is the Bizarro James Toney.
Toney, the former world champion boxer making his mixed martial arts debut Saturday at UFC 118, is being trained in MMA by Sherman, and the two couldn’t come across any more differently in interviews. Where Toney is brash and cocky, Sherman is modest. Where Toney expresses nothing but contempt for his opponent, Randy Couture, Sherman shows nothing but respect, even reverence. Where Toney blabbers on at a mile-a-minute pace to the point where it’s hard to understand half of what he says, Sherman is articulate and measured in his comments.
In fact, Sherman and Toney seem to have only one thing in common: They both believe Toney will knock Couture out on Saturday night.
