Here’s one of the latest videos from Fightmagazine.com where we get a peek inside James Toney’s MMA Training for his fight on August 28th against former UFC Light Heavyweight/Heavyweight Champion and Hall of Famer Randy Couture.
What I find amusing is that after such long career as a ‘pugilistic defensive counter-punching specialist’ that many James Toney videos uploaded to youtube require subtitles to understand what the hell it is he is saying!
Sorry, that has nothing to do with anything in particular but I had to get it off my chest.
I am a big fan of Couture and though I am not the biggest fan of Toney’s I have to give him props for his boxing ability, what he has accomplished in the sport, and his willingness to be the first popular, ‘legitimate’ boxing champion to try his hand (or both) at mma.
They say that James has been preparing for this fight for months, training in wrestling and jiu jitsu, and that he is in shape. To be honest, if that’s him in shape, then I shudder to think of him out of shape. Though looks can be decieving I suppose.
Sorry James, I hope Randy gives you a greco roman wrestling, ground and pound beating of legendary proportions
And if you do happen to stay on your feet long enough to land a ko punch…congrats to you.
