Brock Lesnar hasn’t had a professional fight in nearly a year, having suffered through a severe case of diverticulitis.
For most fighters, that kind of illness and layoff would lead to questions about ring rust, and whether he’s returning at 100%.
In Lesnar’s case, that won’t be an issue.
In fact, he’ll probably be better than ever.

James Toney is set to make his Ocatagon debut as part of the co-main event of UFC 118 when he takes on Randy Couture and Toney has said that after taking out Couture he wants to knock out current WBA Heavyweight Champion David Haye. Haye, recently interviewed by Yahoo!Sports, had some interesting thoughts on Toney’s debut MMA match:
“Six months of training isn’t going to be enough. As a UFC fan, I know two or three years wouldn’t be enough. How many times has Toney sprawled in his life? 500? How many leg kicks has he taken in his life? 300? How many Kimura attempts has he defended? 140? Even if he’s done double that amount, he wouldn’t have nearly the experience needed to win a UFC fight….And I hit a lot harder and I’m so much faster than James, and I couldn’t land a punch on fighters when all they wanted to do was take me down to the ground. James is a much more static fighter than I am, and is going to get thrown on his back immediately by Randy. I admire Toney’s spirit and boxing skills. But he’s delusional here.”
Haye, who says he has trained in mixed martial arts, seems pretty on the mark with his comments. Most MMA enthusiasts agree that Toney has a punchers chance of winning, but that if Couture takes the fight to ground expect it to end early. We still have some time to wait before we find out.
James “Lights Out” Toney continues his verbal assault against UFC Hall of Famer Randy “The Natural” Couture as he hypes their upcoming bout at UFC 118 in Boston. Toney pretends to call 911 siting that Couture has been murdered, and of course, he’s the one that did it. All the talk on Toney’s […]
James “Lights Out” Toney continues his verbal assault against UFC Hall of Famer Randy “The Natural” Couture as he hypes their upcoming bout at UFC 118 in Boston. Toney pretends to call 911 siting that Couture has been murdered, and of course, he’s the one that did it. All the talk on Toney’s end should make for an interesting bout, and UFC 118 is certainly a stacked card with Edgar vs. Penn as the co-main event, and KenFlo taking on Gray Maynard. Also official for the card is the return of Nate Marquardt as he takes on jiu-jitsu ace Rousimar Palharas. Wow talk about a name card.
UFC President Dana White always seems to have something negative to say about his competition, in this case Strikeforce, and he’s continuing his criticism of Fedor Emelianenko’s management. Still a very good interview especially if your a fan of White and the UFC.

UFC middleweight Wanderlei Silva has injured his ribs and will not be competing at UFC 116 where he was originally scheduled to take on Yoshihiro Akiyama. Instead Chris Leben has stepped in on extremely short notice and will look to continue to write his comback story which started at The Ultimate Finale 11 where he took out Aaron Simpson. Sexyama, however, is a very good test for any fighter let alone one who will be fighting again so soon.
Akiyama hasn’t fought since UFC 100 where he gained the decision victory over Alan Belcher, increasing his current win streak to 11. While Leben has agreed to fight, the official signing has not yet taken place. The MMA News will update this story as news comes out.
UFC 116 features a main event bout between heavyweight champions Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin which will truly be the battle of the big men, and will also feature a rematch between Stephan Bonna and Krzysztof Soszynski.
