Can I get a smile?
Stop mean mugging all the time, it’s not necessary. You’re death fighter, we know you’re tough.
Smile for your damn pictures like your mom taught you.
Tony looks like he has a little bit of a belly there.

Ground?
I only saw one picture of him punching on the ground.
Is he training and Jui-Jitsu, Wrestling, Judo etc?
And lets pretend the King Mo guillotine choke never happened…….
I'm from Canada, and they think I'm slow eh!
Video or GTFO
Basically video or GTFO with that statement by King Mo…..I can’t even recall if it was posted on his official twitter account or a fake one.
The point was, he doesn’t appear to be training much on the ground….and I thought that was odd.
I'm from Canada, and they think I'm slow eh!
I went to the actual website and looked at the entire series (30 or so).
And from that…yes.

Is he training Jiu Jitsu!?!
Dude, he was trained by one of the ORIGINAL death fighters!

Don't take my artistic opinions too seriously
I suck at painting and drawing so lots of these posters looks good to me…well…..except UFC 78 and 72.

Damn, good timing for my Edgar/Penn fanpost. I actually like this poster quite a bit. I steal a poster from Hooters each time I go, I’ll be snatching this one.

lol at James Toney’s hands in the first picture.. they look low.. :)
uuuh yeah I write for the Cincinnati Enquirer. Thanks?
i was going to make a comment on that
somebody’s gonna get kicked in the head really bad. if randy doesn’t rip his head off first, that is.
Go big red!
You make me smile! A blogger on a fan site critiquing James Toneys hand positioning!! He may just know how to defend himself from strikes a wee bit better than you.
yeah, probably a thousand times better than me
but i’m not the one he’ll be fighting. :)
Go big red!
Dana must've wanted Toney more than Fedor, he decided to co-promote
Yoplait....Fruit on the bottom,hope on top.
Why the fuck don’t they just hire Anton to do the posters and call it good. Their posters always manage to suck out loud.

mm, I’ve been waiting to see what kind of crap he would pull as the fight gets closer.

No love on the poster for PRIDE Lightweight Champion, KenFlo? Bummer.

Man it just looks weird seeing Penn without the belt
and Edgar holding it.

It’s only gonna be for one poster. No worries.

I like & respect Edgar
but BJ is my favorite fighter and I’m expecting BJ vs Ken Flo 2. I’m hoping to get tix to this.

Man did I miss something?
What’s the deal with Toney and M-1? Seems like a big thing to miss..
Be like water..

Am i the only one reaaaalllly looking forward to Davis/ Diaz
Diaz looked like his brother against Markham, an absolute beast. This is the true test of his unorthodox boxing skills against someone with great technique and KO power… I wouldn’t be surprised if Nate took the fight to the ground
Even when I'm laying on my back I'm never backing down
