James Toney: It’s all hand to hand combat
“I’m still a boxer. Boxing is my No. 1 goal. … This is something that’s going to keep me invigorated….
“I’m still a boxer. Boxing is my No. 1 goal. … This is something that’s going to keep me invigorated. Unlike most boxing people, I’m a fan of MMA. Why not give it a chance?”
“I’m going to go back and forth. I’m a two-sport guy. I’ll fight in the UFC, then boxing, then another UFC fight, and then boxing. I’ll do as much as I can, whatever fights I can get.”
“There are a lot of guys in the UFC who can take me down, but I’m learning how to defend the takedown. I’m not even worried about that. They’ve got to worry about that when they get in with me — how are they going to take me down? They’ve got to take risks when they take me down. They’re taking a risk that they’re going to get knocked out. … There ain’t no one in the UFC that can go blow-to-blow with me. You know that.”
“I’ve tried a little kickboxing and wrestling. It’s all hand-to-hand combat.”
“Randy Couture is a legend. He’s a great dude. If we fight I’d have to take my time and pick him apart. If that’s my first fight, it’ll be a huge fight.”
