Message: [QUOTE="Mortis, post: 1466898, member: 30356"] I think it's funny how Dana White says he wants to steer away from the whole "freak show" aspect of MMA.. but if this fight would get signed.. that's exactly what it would be. Now, I like Kimbo. I actually watched his fights on YouTube before he joined EliteXC, and I said it would be interesting to see him fight in actual MMA, and I was even calling for it. The problem I had with Kimbo at the beginning wasn't with Kimbo himself... it was with the way EliteXC handled Kimbo, turning him into a sideshow and building him up to be a god, when he needed to pay his MMA dues first. Seeing his interviews while he was in EliteXC made me respect him. He was a humble guy who just wanted to fight. Him taking up Dana White's offer to fight in The Ultimate Fighter and seeing him on that show gave me even more respect for him.. and I like the way the UFC is handling him.. the same way they are handling all the other TUF fighters that come along.. they don't hype them up as the next big thing, but give them the smaller fights to begin with, then build them up. With that being said.. I don't want to see James Toney in there against Kimbo.. not that I think Toney would beat Kimbo (I think Kimbo would TKO Toney).. but because I really don't like Toney, who thinks he can just walk in and take on all MMA fighters. Dude is 45 years old.. and his name is not Randy Couture.. he's going to get pounded in the UFC. I hope that the UFC just gives Toney a one and done fight. If he really wants to fight against someone with a name.. give him Randy Couture.. watch Couture tear Toney a new one.. and send him one his way. That's just my opinion, anyways. [/QUOTE]
