"It's already known that boxing is better than MMA but I'll prove that and that James Toney is the best fighter no matter if it's boxing or MMA...

MMA fighters don't like to get hit. They can't stand in the pocket and trade punches. MMA guys want to submit somebody or kick them like a little girl. I think Wanderlei Silva could maybe be a good boxer, and Anderson Silva would have a chance. Georges St. Pierre might too. But seriously: Can you name me one MMA fighter who can punch as well as me? ...

If Randy tries to grab me I'll hit him so hard his grandparents will feel it. I keep reminding everybody, the fight starts standing up. To shoot you have to get close and when you do, you're going to get hurt...

Everybody has this misconception I don't like MMA. I love MMA. I love Georges St. Pierre, I love Rich Franklin, I like BJ Penn, I like Anderson Silva, Rampage Jackson, Rashad Evans, I like a ton of these guys. I don't have a problem with those dudes. MMA is a great sport."

-James Toney talks the difference between boxers and MMA fighters, what he's going to do to Randy Couture at UFC 118 and the misconception about his take on MMA in a live chat at MMAFighting.com.

Penick's Analysis: If Randy Couture brings Toney to the ground and beats the hell out of him it's going to make a lot of fans happy on August 28. Despite some kind words toward the sport, he's done nothing but downplay every aspect of the sport, disrespecting many fighters and styles along the way. And his delusions are laughable, thinking that he can come into this fight or a fight with Brock Lesnar with four months of grappling training and be prepared for everything that will be thrown at him. If his fight with Randy Couture is even allowed sanctioning by the Massachusetts athletic commission it's only going to be a matter of time before he finds himself on his back with Couture dropping down punches on him.
