Earlier today, future Hall-of-Famer James “Lights Out” Toney touched down in Memphis, Tennessee on a mission to find UFC President Dana White, who is in town for UFC 107 this Saturday at the Fedex Forum. In a recent interview with FightHype.com, Toney revealed that he was more than willing to step inside of the Octagon. Eager to prove how serious he is, Toney hopes to have a face-to-face meeting with White.
When last we heard from Toney, he was on his way to the Blue City Cafe in hopes of running into White, who invited fans to meet him there via his official Twitter page. No word yet on whether or not Toney was successful in his search or if he plans on attending UFC 107.
PC: Dana White recently said he was dying to put a boxer in the Octagon because they wouldn’t stand a chance. Is that something you would seriously do?
JT: Aw shit, tell Dana White he can suck my dick. That’s why he calls out them bum ass fighters. He called out Roy Jones and Floyd Mayweather, but they ain’t calling James Toney out because they don’t want to see me. They have the same excuse that I am old, fat and short. Well, come and see me then because it should be easy for them.
PC: Are you talking boxing rules or MMA rules as well? Ring or the cage?
JT: It don’t matter man. Everybody thinks that I couldn’t fight in a cage. I got one of the baddest motherfuckers in the world in my corner, man. “Pops” is one of the original cage fighting masters when he was fighting over there in Indonesia and won. I know all of the shit that they think I don’t know. Dana White is a frustrated fighter because he used to be a boxer back in Boston and was getting knocked out every week, so he had to quit.
PC: So you are calling out anyone from cruiserweight to heavyweight in boxing and from light heavyweight to heavyweight in MMA?
JT: MMA or boxing, whatever they want to do, come see me. When I see MMA fighters at every fight, they come up to me telling me I’m great and all that and that’s cool; keep it that way. But if you want to get on the other side, you can get on the other side too. It don’t matter. We can do whatever they want to do too, just pay me and don’t delay me. I guarantee you this, they pay me a lot of money and I’m going to knock your motherfucking head off.
PC: That’s what’s up JT. As always, I appreciate the interview man. Is there anything you want to close with?
JT: Tell them rats out there I got some cheese for them. Come and get it!
PC: We will put this out there for you my man.
JT: Alright baby! Have mercy Percy!
