On August 15, 2010, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira had to pull out of his bout with Frank Mir due to an injury that will require surgery. It later was reported to be a recurring hip injury. Mirko Filipović has been lined up to replace Nogueira in the main event.

Mirko has stated he does not expect to be 100% because of joining the card on late notice, but he did not want to let down his fans or UFC management.

Well Randy Couture did what all (or most) mma fans were expecting and waiting to see…

Randy took Toney down with an easy single leg a few seconds into the first round. Randy immediately got into full mount and started to rain punches. Toney tried to escape but was no match for Couture’s ground control and ended up in an arm triangle which soon caused him to tap.

It looked as if Toney had not done any type of grappling training judging from his lack of defense on the ground, but as Joe Rogan asked the question while calling the fight, “How much can you pick up in nine months?”

In the post fight interview When Joe Asked Toney if he had worked enough on his ground game, Toney replied with “My ground game is fine, its just that I fought an excellent fighter”.

Toney finally giving Randy the respect he deserves.

Frankie Edgar wins a dominant unanimous decision win in his title fight rematch with BJ Penn. In his pre fight interview Penn stated that Edgar will just try to do what he did last time, but just polish it up a bit. And thats exactly what Frankie did. BJ had no answer for Edgar’s footwork, hand speed and unpredictabilty.

Except for a couple of takedowns in the later rounds, which Edgar soon reversed, BJ looked two steps behind the whole fight.

Here are the rest of the results…

James Toney’s MMA Training Camp for UFC 118

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.
