*I don’t. Because he wasn’t doing it out of respect. He ONLY accepted it out of ARROGANCE.* He thought MMA was a joke, and didn’t respect Couture or the sport at all. He did NOT want to test himself. He was arrogant and cocky; he doesn’t deserve respect, but did deserve that ass whooping.

Always crazy to me how I see dudes 37-38 on the current fight cards and I’m like geez this guy is ancient, seeing randy fighting at 47 and beyond was insane
He did it for a paycheck once he was worthless in boxing. Pay Mayweather what he can make in the ring he might have done it. That money isn't possible under the UFC Umbrella
funniest shit is missing: in a pre-press conference he was aske about his groundgame, toney took the mic and replied: "yo first of all i am not gay" best answer ever
Lol Conor lasted almost the entire fight against boxings supposed greatest. Gayweather wouldn’t last one round against dudes who aren’t even in the ufc.
Sort of, However Randy Couture is extremely smart for going for that low single. Couture had enough respect for professional boxers that he went no where near the boxing game. If it would have been a UFC fighter that didn't respect professional boxing and wanted to stand and bang then it could have went very badly.
That was the easiest fight he ever had in the octagon by far also look who Randy has fought in the octagon it was usually for a belt or defending his belt but that would have been an easy fight for almost any heavy weight in the UFC at that time they knew all they had to do was just shoot a double leg or single leg and it's over with or like Randy and do a ankle pic.
It doesn't matter how serious he took it... Randy clearlyu didn't take it seriously. He was doing a movie lol. Randy would always do whatever he wanted to james whenever he wanted to do it.
Probably not. Whoever lands first probably wins. Naturally in a street fight there are too many variables to be dumb enough to leave your feet. Do NOT do this in a real fight, yall. There is probably a bunch of disabled/dead wrestlers/bjj guys because they got arrogant in a street brawl.
@@alexasdourian1417 A fat, out of shape Sylvia. But yes, he did, in 9 seconds. Essentially the only chance a boxer has to beat an MMA fighter in MMA. And Sylvia was a striker in MMA, so he has a higher chance of getting knocked out than a grappler like Randy who could just shoot and make it look as easy as the Toney fight.
@@HonkeyKong54 that’s not the point. There’s no reason to get a black belt for submitting a white belt. What does that prove? Randy is one of the greatest grapplers with his elite wrestling, beating Tony on the ground who is a white belt isn’t anything to write home about to get a black belt
Thank you sir for putting this out as a belated birthday present if you could please put out more Randy couture stuff and I miss that UFC Viking opening
Just a reminder of what jones will do to fury if they fight in the octagon. It'll be worse. Having said that nothing but respect to anyone whos got the balls to put in the work and step inside that octagon.
I respect James Toney, but he had no business being in the octagon that night w/ an MMA fighter. Did he really think Randy was gonna stand with him. He gave him a full MMA experience in this fight.
Wish Randy would've toyed wit him more. But he's smart, he knew one little clip on the head from Toney could go the other way. But he could've toyed with him more on the ground lolz
I knew what the outcome would be. I was a fan of both (esp Toney) and hated this. James is such a legendary talent in the boxing world. I feel as if he rubbed an entire generation of mma fans unfamiliar with him the wrong way. Wish it never happened for some reason.
That is so damn funny when Captain America sits there and says why didn't you tap out punk then start punching James Tony in the face a lot more than chokes him unconscious . Lmao
I respect James Tony. He had the balls to step in the octagon and fight in the realm of MMA. All these other loud mouth boxers ain't shit in MMA. They all want to box MMA fighters, but don't want to fight MMA. And MMA fighters will fight anybody.
This is the closest we are going to get to boxing vs wrestling. They are the two oldest fighting styles and HUGE in USA. But even here, Randy boxed in the army and has a black belt in BOLT ; and Toney actually trained in MMA leading up to this even though he didn't use it
This is one of the goofiest moments in MMA history because there was literally no reason for Toney to sign up for this without any martial arts training
@@unkownboi67is_unavailable62it was all he needed but Dana clearly screwed him over giving him a fight that tough. Who else on their mma debut gets put against an ex champion like cotour?

@@kylerasmussen8045 I never knew Darren Elkins was a wrestler let alone that successful. When people argue wrestlers are boring I always bring up Justin Gaethje and Tony Ferguson as exciting fighters with wrestling backgrounds. I would have used Darren Elkins in that argument had I known he was a wrestler that won state multiple times.
And? He still managed to beat him Just because you don’t wanna box with a boxer doesn’t mean you can’t fight. It just means you’re smart enough to fight a boxer in a way they can’t counter
I truly believe evryone in this comment section could’ve done a better job defending that takedown😂😂 he was literally waiting for it and was still super slow reacting to it
I wish they would have picked someone other than Randy to fight Tony. Couture was in for a W, that was it. Tim Silvia or the pitbull would have been more competitive. Dana was trying to prove a point.😅
Floyd was talking the same crap before this saying he'd beat any mma fighter. Toney was ignorant as was Floyd. This is why no other boxer dare fight in mma.
I actually respect James toney for actually stepping into the octagon and not trying to get couture to box him

I noticed that, alot of the uploads are on the anniversary date

He does it on purpose lol

because boxing is a big part of MMA but Grappling and Kicks arent in Boxing.
Because boxers and boxing fans are fragile. Especially gayweather and his padded point fighting record.
