Kenny Florian- Gray Maynard now also on UFC 118 card

I hate how they're trying to setup Penn/Florian 2. I don't want to see it.

I do. I think Kenny will bring a different gameplan and at the very least we'll get an entertaining fight.

He's going to get his ass beat and choked out again.

Is that to say that you think Edgar would beat Kenny or are you making a styles-make-fights argument?

The latter. I think Kenny beats Edgar. Kenny/Edgar is a great fight though if Edgar beats Penn again.

I agree that Kenny/Edgar would be good. We'll probably see it eventually one way or another.

If Kenny does get another title shot then he'll have definitely gotten more shots that that belt that most guys get.

Randy Couture vs. James Toney now going to be at UFC 118

This event is going to be a good one

In a match likely to re-ignite the "boxing vs. MMA" debate, a bout between 10-time UFC champion Randy Couture (18-10 MMA, 15-7 UFC) and former boxing champion James Toney (0-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is targeted for the UFC's first trip to Boston.

Fighters Only was the first to report the possibility of the pairing, and MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today confirmed that while the matchup is far from official, it's in the works for a headlining spot at the event.

Although not officially announced, UFC 118 is expected to take place Aug. 28 at the TD Garden in Boston. Two high-profile lightweight fights are currently on tap for the Northeast event: newly minted champion Frankie Edgar fights the man he deposed for the belt, B.J. Penn, in an immediate rematch of their recent UFC 112 bout, and two-time contender Kenny Florian faces standout Gray Maynard.

The weight limit of Couture vs. Toney is currently undetermined. Couture is now two fights into a second stint as a light heavyweight, while Toney is primarily regarded as a heavyweight in the boxing world.

The position of Couture vs. Toney on UFC 118's card is also unknown at this time, though sources close to the event say it will likely take a headline or co-headline slot.

Toney, 41, won a UFC contract in early March after a protracted trash-talk campaign against UFC president Dana White and several mixed martial arts fighters. The former boxing champion sought the guidance of boxing and MMA coach Juanito Ibarra and at several points welcomed a fight with Couture (though he called out virtually every MMA star he could name).

Toney is currently training with Ibarra in Southern California as he prepares for his MMA debut

Sick.

I can't wait for WWE I mean UFC 118.

[poopoo333]

Easy money on Randy. Can't wait for this card.

[Mr. IWS]

Wow, bad matchup for Toney. If Handy gets a hold of him, that should be a wrap. Unless Toney uses the side check kick technique he is famous for.

[SPX]

Very interesting. Randy fucking Couture in your first MMA match? That's insane.

[Luke]

Wow, bad matchup for Toney. If Handy gets a hold of him, that should be a wrap. Unless Toney uses the side check kick technique he is famous for.

Well he better get a hold of Toney or he's going to lose because he isnt going to out box him

Stop giving it attention. It's a circus.

I mean, I'll watch it the same way I'll watch a trainwreck.

Pretty cut and dry though. The Randy Couture retirement tour rolls onward. Let's send him out on a high note. I'm inclined to believe this is the reason Toney was signed to begin with.

Who's gonna guest host the event? Mike Tyson? David Hasselhoff? Maybe they'll bring in Verne Troyer and he can drop from the rafters and have a midget tag team match with Sean Sherk.

Also, the odds will likely be astronomical.

[Mr. IWS]

I dont mind a freakshow every now and then.

It does make Dana look like a fucktard, saying he will never pull some shit like this, and then putting this together.
