Bad move Dana...
“Lights Out” is a former professional middleweight, super-middleweight, and cruiserweight boxing champion, while currently being listed as the active NABO and IBA heavyweight title holder.
Toney’s decorated professional boxing record currently stands at 72 victories and only 6 defeats, with 3 draws and 2 no-contests. James has stopped 44 of his 72 victims via knockout for an impressive 61% knockout ratio.
He is also the worst possible style of boxer to sign in the UFC. Heavy hands with little movement...he will get taken down quick and submitted (by someone like Mir) or he'll be ground and pounded (by Lesnar or Couture) or he'll get destroyed on his feet with Thai kicks (maybe Vera)...
This is just as stupid as the Kimbo thing. Worst of all, Toney hasn't even had to compete in one single MMA match and he just got a UFC contract. Bulls__t!
Maybe Dana is trying to either:
a) Snub the boxing world by signing one of their big boys and then having him destroyed in the Octagon
or
b) Trying to recruit the last few boxing fans who don't already like MMA to the sport
Who knows what goes on in DW's mind. It certainly isn't the purity and honor of the sport. I think his head is filled with these:
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$......
