James Toney was hilarious. Yes. Yes, he most certainly was. What's even funnier is that people actually picked him to win. LOL.

BJ was great last night, but Frankie has undoubtedly taken over the number 1 spot. Sad to say, but i think BJ's best days are behind him. He doesn't seem like he wants it as much and to be honest, theres not much more he can do besides beat GSP. With that said, i can't wait to see Grey Maynard take the belt. James Toney was hilarious. I'm not crazy about Grey becoming the champ. I honestly hope that Frankie beats him. BJ's performance lately makes me sad. I just don't know what happned between the Sanchez fight and the Edgar fight. He truely seems like a different fighter. Diego is just as much of a grinder as as Frankie, but BJ beat the everloving balls off him. I know the obvious answer is that Frankie REALLY stepped his game up, an answer to which anyone would be a fool to contest. But there was definately something different about Penn with his last two fights. I think that so many are saying that he's "done" because of how long he's been around. I say he's got alot of career left in him. Matt Hughes has definately showed us that a veteran can come out of a major slump. But Liddell has definately showed us that a slump, may be fate's way of telling you to leave the game behind.

Aside for all the craptalking I'm getting, I stick by my pick, but as soon as I saw Randy in the trunks, I was ing scared, but deep down I knew that would happen. And BIG props to Edgar, I wouldn't say i'm a fan of his now but he impressed me so much. And as much as I hate the Diaz brothers, I have to say Nate look amazing in this fight, on top of his last few fights, he is where he belongs. Also congrats to Randy getting his Black Belt.

Gonzo I do not want to step on your toes but Gray didnt really own Nate that fight. It was boring as hell and he really just layed on him. Did not engage to much. Nate was getting pissed. I am in no way shape or form a fan of either guy BTW. I really am not trying to pick a fight with you either. You are free to see fights as you wish but I am just giving you some insight from some who was there that night. Also, A lot of people were booing that fight. I laughed at how Nate said he wanted to fight him again. I think the outcome would be the same. I hope they do fight and he this time he knocks that in lisp out of Nates mouth. Nate belongs in Strikeforce or some local card with the rest of the white trash because that's what he is. See now you're just being a bitter prick. Diaz is one talented SOB. Doesn't matter if you like him, but to say that he doesn't belong where he is, is a crock. He's really stepped his game up, and proven to be a very classy dude on top of that. Nate is far from a classy dude. His actions at Strikeforce proved that. The only time Nate entertained me is when he almost got into it with Karo on TUF.

But there is still no denying what he has and can do, same with the Diaz brothers, I can't stand him, but they're awesome fighters, quit letting there personalities affect you, you watch MMA for the fights not for there personalities.

I also watch fights for the sportsmanship of it as well. That is one of the reasons I can not stand Josh Koshcheck as well.

Dude and that's fine, but you still can't deny his skill, Nate deserves to be there.

I do think he acts like street trash though. That fight with Maynard was garbage tough. Nate still has a long way to go before he gets a shot at the belt. Which sucks because I would like to see him try and hopfully get his ass handed to him. How long until we can talk about Koshchecks lack of sportsmanship? ;D

Wow Mr Old School don't gloat on picking the 1/7 favorite or anything like that your not an MMA guru because you picked the most likely outcome to the fight.
I predicted that on the radio also, but i look at odds and i look at value. Toney was 6/1 to win by KO that's why i backed that.

Diaz brothers are definitely cocky, but always seem to back it up. I know we are in the UFC section here but, look at Floyd Mayweather Jr. Extremely cocky, but he trains his heart out and proves his point and has yet to lose (although I think at this point we all know he is dodging Manny). So I say being cocky is fine......as long as you can back it up

But I LOVE it when a fighter is uber cocky and showboats a lot.

I knew WEEKS ago that Toney had ZERO chance of winning that fight. The possibility of him winning, just wasn't there. I knew it, why didn't everyone else?? I apologize again, but to those who picked James Toney, man, what the were you thinking?? You do NOT send a rookie to MMA to take on an experienced old pro like Randy Couture. Look what happens. End of ing story.

End of ing story. Rookies have beaten MMA pros before though, so it's not like it was a 100% lock Toney would lose. Joe Warren was 1-0 when he beat the then 17-1 KID Yamamoto. Hell, even your beloved Brock was 1-1 before beating the very experienced Heath Herring. Some may debate that the key to those wins was that both rookies were experienced wrestlers, but then you had the 0-0 boxer Ray Mercer giving Tim Sylvia his first KO loss ever. Despite how confident you were in Randy, there was no reason to believe that Toney didn't have a chance going in. Considering that before the Toney fight you were ranting on about how "anything could happen in MMA", I find it funny that you're suddenly running around saying everyone is a f*cking idiot if they thought Toney had a chance.

^ Anything can happen in MMA, just not James Toney winning a fight. Those type of odds just don't exist. He got a harsh lesson last night. I hope he never comes back to MMA because he'll get WHOOPED again.

That's just asinine, Toney could of clipped him and Randy go out, not very likely but still, you say it all the time, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN MMA, deep down I knew he would lose, but I still stand by my pick for him to win.

All well, now we just need to get rid of Mitirone. EDIT: Are you the same Johnny Thunder on Youtube?

It was a good night. Feel bad for Florian, the guy just always seems to choke when it comes to big fights like these.
Edgar looked impressive. Great job by him. Not sure what's next for Penn. Don't really want to see him go to WW, so perhaps Florian/Penn II?
Toney/Couture was fun to watch. I had picked Toney, I mean, he obviously had the ability to knock Couture out, but I laughed at that weak looking takedown which brought Toney down. Great stuff.

Oh, and by the way, I am completely calm. I am perfectly at ease. I just love the fact that Randy completely owned and embarassed James Toney last night. Seriously, I think I would have put up more of a fight than Toney did. He didn't do -all, except get punched in the face a bunch of times and get his fat-ass choked out. His new nickname is "Tap-Out". James "Tap-Out" Toney. I think it has a MUCH better ring to it, don't you?? ;D
