James Toney Is Legendary, Ya Heard?, Vows to Submit Randy Couture

With Chael Sonnen slowly becoming the face of “shit talkers anonymous”, newly employed James Toney just had to get back into the limelight with this gem.  According to sources in on the back story, Toney was confronted by Chuck Liddell on the day he demanded a contract from Dana White.  After Liddell decided not to bash his brains in, Randy Couture started to call him out, which led to this upcoming (and not yet signed on the dotted line) fight.

Now, James Toney has always been a man of many words.  Some of which we still don’t understand, both in dictionary terms or sensical terms, but he definately likes to tell you what’s on his mind.  In an interview with Uppercut Magazine, he spoke about his entrance to the UFC and what he plans to do to Randy Couture.

Here is the written transcript of what he says about Randy Couture….

“[Randy] is legendary in their sport – kickboxing, karate, whatever. I’m a legend period. I’m an ICON. He’s not on my level. I told Dana White that the only way I’d do this if I fight your best. I wanted Brock Lesnar first*, but I wasn’t aware that he was hurt. I hope he gets well. Then, I was talking about Randy Couture to Dana White [at UFC 108], and Chuck Liddell was sitting next to him. Chuck Liddell looked uneasy and unhappy. I told Chuck, ‘I ain’t gonna fight you here; I’m gonna get paid for it. I wanna fight you in the ring.’ The next thing you know I’m hearing everybody say that Couture called me out. He’s a big man and I respect him. So now he’s gonna step up and he’s gonna get done. Don’t get me wrong, Randy Couture is a great fighter for this sport. But he comes in and he gonna do this to James Toney? Come on, man. I’ve been in the ring with the best fighters in the world, period. I’m the best fighter you’ve ever seen in your life. I’m telling you right now. Randy, look into my eyes. You know there is no fear here. You come in with that wrestling, dirty boxing, I promise you, I’m gonna choke your ass out.” **

* Did he really call out Brock Lesnar first?  He truly is as smart as he looks…

** English motherfucker, Do you speak it?  Geez.
