Now heres a good laugh.

Boxing title-holder James Toney wants a shot at UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar after making his MMA debut against hall of famer Randy Couture at ???UFC 118: Edgar vs. Penn 2??? on August 28 in Boston.

???I couldn???t come in the UFC and fight a bum, or a tune up fight. I have to fight the best. I am the best. I wanted to fight Brock Lesnar, but unfortunately at the time he was sick,??? Toney recently told MMA Weekly. ???I will be boxing and UFC champion at the same time. I???m officially a two-sport athlete. After I knock out Randy Couture, I???m coming for Brock???s **** ass next.???

Are all boxers this stupid?

Yeah you can strike but what about the ground game? Do we really think Randy is just going to stand with him?

He will never fight Lesnar.

Give em Brock in a non title match.

If he beats Randy, let him defend his boxing title while Brock gets ready for the JDS-Nelson winner. Then if they are both succesful let them duke it out in a non-title fight.

In Pride they would do it with special rules(ala Wandy-Cro Cop 1) but Dana won't do that.

Isn't Brock fighting Cain next?

Yes, Clouis is going with the popular assumption that Cain lacks much of a chance.

I'm assuming that he wins that fight for the purposes of that statement.

I think it is a good match but Cain's only chance is to grind out a decision after surviving the first round.

Yep. Ariel Helwani interviewed him. You guys should subscribe to him. His interview with Bob Arum was classic. He went off on mma. Like a year ago.

July 16, 2010  03:12 PM ET

He was just playing up the fight. Have you ever heard a don king interview? Its great to be hear in the united states of America, blah blah plugs fight in crazy way.

Let's step away from the idiotic comment from Toney and ponder this for a second. What if Toney learned some mean takedown defense a'la the Iceman and Randy couldn't take him down. What if Toney stays away from Randy and boxes the old ****, using those skills. I realize this is a lot of "What ifs" and MMA doesn't revolve around "what ifs", but no one saw Serra beating GSP or any of the other fights that were supposedly "in the bag". I'm just saying...

you cant learn takedown defense in 1 training camp and apply it in your first mma fight

Come on guys, let's look at this realistically. Of course Toney would grandstand for a title shot if he knocks out Couture. Anyone could see that from a mile away.

And I think what's just as glaringly obvious is that Dana White would nut in his pants to make that match happen as fast as possible.
