Rising UFC light heavyweight Jon Jones, who faces Vladimir Matyushenko this Sunday at UFC on Versus 2, recently had some choice words for UFC newcomer and future boxing Hall of Famer James Toney. “Do you really think you’re going to uppercut a collegiate wrestler when he’s coming full force into a double leg dive? I think he [James Toney] is just really naive to think that with hand combinations alone, he’s going to be able to defend takedowns from the clinch and double leg dives, so I think he’s just ignorant in a way and I don’t really have a hard time calling him ignorant because of some of the statements he’s made about our sport,” Jones commented, going out of is way to stress his opinion that Toney is an “ignorant” fighter. Naturally, it didn’t take long for word of his comments to reach Toney, who took time out of his training to contact FightHype.com and fire back at Jones.
“Jon ‘Homo’ Jones better do his research before he talks shit about me. He doesn’t know anything about me. He’s about to learn though because when I see Jon Jones, I’ma slap his ass. I don’t play those games. He better learn how to fight before he talks shit about me,” stated a heated James Toney, who will be making his Octagon debut against UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture, a challenge that he says Jones would have never had the nerve to do. “My debut fight in the UFC is against a Hall of Famer. Who the fuck did he fight in his first fight in the UFC? [Andre Gusmao] Isn’t he like 22? He better go find some tapes of me because I’m not the one to fuck with and he gonna see that when I bump into his ass. keep my name out your mouth boy,” he continued.
