Easy win for Miller IMO.

James Toney

"The person I wanted to fight right off the bat was Brock Lesnar," Toney said in a live chat with MMAFighting.com. "He's a champion, I'm a champion and I wanted to do it. But they said I couldn't do that. Then they said, 'How about Kimbo?' But I said, 'That's too easy. That's like kicking a little kid's butt.' But then Randy started saying he wanted to fight me, so I said, 'OK, you're the first one getting it.'"

^^^ Ha ha, yeah, okay.

I wouldn't have minded seeing him versus Kimbo. If Kimbo was smart and immediately worked the ground game then he could win, and that would be a lot more humiliating for Toney than losing to Couture.

Demian Maia vs. Mario Miranda on tap for UFC 118

http://bit.ly/cJlU13

guess this is where Maia is going

Re: UFC 118 Penn-Edgar 2 Toney-Couture

^^ boo. Maia has nothing to gain from that matchup. Miranda is a good grappler in his own right though, should be a good ground fight, which Maia will win.

Mario is a pretty good wrestler though, Maia will probably have to beat him standing as well or guard pull him.

What are Miranda's hands like?

I had 2.9u on Lauzon and I was kind of regretting it.

Re: UFC 118 Penn-Edgar 2 Toney-Couture

I had 3u, I was going to go to 5. Lauzon was going to take Etim down and whup on him.

Interesting on Sakara/Harris.

I hope Harris fucks this new clown up.
