James “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.”
