Randy Couture on ESPN SportsCenter: I'm Going to Put James Toney "on His Back"

by Nick Thomas on Aug 25, 2010 2:01 PM EDT in MMA News

"Historically, I've done real well against strikers. .. I have a wrestling background. I'm going to go out and try to close the distance and put him on his back; take him out of that boxing realm."

"How much has (James Toney) learned about mixed martial arts? How long will he be able to survive in that position?"

I hope Couture wins by armbar

So he can end Toney’s MMA career and force him to retire from boxing.

That would truly be a hilarious/sad/beautiful thing to watch. Very rare to get that triple threat in one move.

Why do you want to see a man’s career ruined? I’m just curious, not condemning you for your opinion.

But Toney shouldn’t be fighting anymore plain and simple. He is losing to B-level fighters and struggling to hang with C-levels. Sadly he won’t hang him up so I think he needs something to tell him he has to retire.

I... Just... Can't get excited for this match.

Sorry (shrug)…

… It’s just not an interesting one “on paper” to me. Perhaps, when I see it I’ll think differently.

I'm looking forward to it

It will be a very pleasing 45 seconds.

That's what she said.

I know it’s tired but it needed to be said.
