Just days removed from Saturday’s UFC 118, James Toney continues to toss smack at Randy “The Natural” Couture, further increasing what could very well be, one of the largest helpings of humble pie the sport of MMA has ever seen (Chael Sonnen escaped that humiliation by dominating Anderson Silva for nearly five rounds). That is of course if the decorated boxer loses…no worries right? (Cue nervous laughter).
Really, even if Couture does smash Toney in under two minutes, it probably won’t silence the heavyweight too, too much, but seeing him get bowled over by “Captain America” would be damn satisfying for most MMA fans. So what’s the latest word from Mr. ‘Trust me I got this’ Toney? Speaking at today’s pre-fight UFC 118 presser, the boxing champ revealed:
“I seen fear,” Toney told MMAjunkie.com at Thursday’s media workout session. “I smelled it, too.”…”Everybody can sit there and say, ‘Oh, Randy was tough. He was cool.’ All the Randy Couture fans were [saying that]. Up close and personal, you could see it in his eyes. He ain’t never seen nobody like me in his life.”
Curious; what does fear smell like? Is there a feint (or strong) presence of urine? At any rate, Toney’s right, Couture has never faced anyone like him in his life, but that doesn’t change the fact that 9 out of 10 times The Natural should win that fight. To bet on that tilt, or any other at UFC 118, head here.
