As UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar joked with White at the UFC 116 post-fight press conference about how he was brought into the promotion simply to be made an example of, White flipped the script.
“No, we’re going to make an example of James Toney,” he said with a laugh.
“James Toney’s been an accomplished fighter for many years, and he’s training in mixed martial arts now. James Toney’s a real fighter.”
“Listen, James and I go back and forth, and he’s mad at me right now, and he’s going to be even more pissed off after what I just said. The reality is, I am not so delusional that I don’t think anything can happen when two big guys get in there and start throwing punches. I’m sure many of you that have been in the fight business for a long time, have seen some crazy things happen.”
“He’s going to try to knock out Randy Couture that night. It’s become this whole UFC vs. boxing thing. I said it before, and I’ll say it again, always yapping about people who do ‘freak shows,’ I’m doing one.”
