“I Am The Ultimate Fighter,” James Toney

James ToneyJames “Lights Out” Toney (0-0) is out to prove that there is only one top combat sport and that’s boxing. In August he’ll back up his words against UFC legend Randy Couture when Toney makes his MMA debut to show the world that he is ‘the ultimate fighter.”

“I respect Randy Couture because he is a legend in his sport. The difference is I am the ultimate fighter. I’m not worried about nothing he can do; he better worry about what I can do. Everybody asking, ‘James, what you gonna do when he gets you on the ground? You better work on your ground game.’ Work on my ground game for what? I ain’t going to sleep…I respect the sport of MMA because they train hard. The training is hard as hell. Whatever I do, I’m going to get the best trainers out there. I got Juanito, Trevor, Tony, my conditioning coach, and King Mo helping me out. We coming in hard. Like I said, I didn’t want to fight no C-level fighter. You ran your mouth Dana White, now put your best man in there. I wanted Brock Lesnar, but he was sick with his stomach problems and I hope he’s better now, but hey, it’s time to put up or shut up and come August 28th, we going to war. I’m going to let everybody know that boxing still reigns supreme.”

Josh Koscheck Apologizes for Recent Remarks Directed at GSP

Earlier in the week we passed along comments Josh Koscheck reportedly made at the TUF 12 media day, when the welterweight contender said he was hoping for more stringent, Olympic standard, drug testing to be introduced into MMA. Koscheck was talking about such matters because “B.J. Penn and his camp” had apparently warned him that, […]

Earlier in the week we passed along comments Josh Koscheck reportedly made at the TUF 12 media day, when the welterweight contender said he was hoping for more stringent, Olympic standard, drug testing to be introduced into MMA. Koscheck was talking about such matters because “B.J. Penn and his camp” had apparently warned him that, yup, here we go again, Georges St. Pierre is “on steroids.” The MMA Junkie report also included a quote from ‘Kos’ stating that he hopes the welterweight “doesn’t grease up” and “gets off that juice” before the two fight again post-TUF 12 (comments that Koscheck made while also insisting he personally wasn’t accusing GSP of cheating, but rather, he was just passing along “hearsay”…)

Well, here just a few days later, it seems as though Koscheck has taken a minute to reconsider what he said last weekend, and the renowned fighter has issued an apology to GSP (there’s nothing like unsubstantiated rumors to really class up a fight). In a follow up report from MMA Fighting, Koscheck was quoted saying:

“Media stories on comments I made about rumors of GSP are in no way factual,” Koscheck said. “I’m known for polarizing comments, and I got caught up in hyping TUF and our fight. I was wrong, and apologize to GSP for trying to invalidate his hard work and talent.”

And there you have it folks…time to move on?
