The Argument for James Toney
Well, the UFC has signed James Toney (0-0 MMA, 72-6-3-2 Boxing) and the contention over whether or not he’s a legit force in MMA is going to start. The opposition to Toney has already spoken. I have to say, I was skeptical of the UFC signing him at first, but I’m going to change my tune a little bit (for a minute). Part of that is to play Devil’s Advocate (which is always fun) and part of that is because I think Toney is good for the UFC, and the UFC could do a lot worse. Toney is a top… (Full Story)
The UFC signs James Toney…really?
Not long after Dana White blasted an extremely athletic Herschel Walker for fighting in Strikeforce by stating that Walker would “would be the first death in the UFC”, he signed stalkerish, overweight, and washed-up boxer James Toney to a multi-fight deal in the UFC. Which is better? An active ex-football standout who still looks to be in better shape than most UFC heavyweight fighters (and already won his MMA debut) or an aging boxer-turner-stalker who wouldn’t leave White alone at… (Full Story)

UFC and Fathead to create MMA posters
The largest MMA promotion has signed a deal with Fathead to create large wall posters of UFC fighters. Now we all know that you’re wondering just how you could fit a huge Tito Ortiz head on your bedroom wall, but I’m sure they’ll figure it out – keep it life-size maybe? MMA Junkie broke the news with a quote from Dana White to make it official. “Fathead makes the best wall graphics in the business,” UFC president Dana White said. “This is another cool way for our fans to show support for… (Full Story)
The UFC is looking to head to Japan
News has come out about a proposed UFC card to be held in the land of the rising sun, the country that was home to the now defunct Pride organization, Japan. Fighter’s Only has a story detailing a plan which would include UFC middleweight Yohihiro Akiyama taking on the winner of the Michael Bisping-Wanderlei Silva bout, which will take place in less than two weeks in Australia. Akiyama was a big star in Japan and is of Japenese-Korean descent. “Sexiyama” starred in the K-1 organization,… (Full Story)
Black Wednesday Hits the UFC: Mark Coleman One of Four Fighters Let Go
Fighting for the UFC is a dream for most mixed martial artists. They work hard to get noticed by the company, and receiving the call to compete for them is a reward for all they put into their careers. Most times keeping your job with the organization is a lot harder than getting the opportunity. Fighters know that losing is never tolerated and that there is always someone else waiting to take their spot. Four men found out just how easily their dreams can be crushed yesterday as the… (Full Story)

UFC Sues Bar Owner
As they said they would, the UFC brass are going to court over an illegal video stream of UFC 104 at a bar in Allston, Massachusetts. The promotion’s leadership is accusing Derek Brady, a bar owner, of evading the cost of “illegally pay-per-view signal without purchasing it through exclusive closed circuit providers.” The UFC is suing Brady for $640,000 plus the cost of legal fees. The report has been verified by an eyewitness and the UFC seems to be taking the piracy crackdown seriously…. (Full Story)
The Audacity of James Toney
There have been some profoundly stupid statements made by professional boxers who think that they can cross over to compete in MMA. Well, we can add 41-year-old James Toney to the list of boxers not qualified to fight on MMA’s biggest stage. Apart from the fact that Toney seems to have no respect for MMA fighters, what’s worse is that he has no idea what he’s getting into. Toney met with Dana White at UFC 108, which seems weird given that Dana ripped Strikeforce for signing Herschel Walker… (Full Story)
