James Toney In The UFC: A Win-Win For Dana White
By Paul Magno of The Boxing Tribune.
It's official: James "Lights Out" Toney, one of boxing's modern day greats, is now a member of the UFC.
Of course, the UFC isn't getting the James Toney that outclassed most of the best middleweights and super middleweights of his generation.

my best guess is toney will fight at light heavyweight in the ufc.

I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. I was building a house, I don't deserve this, deserves have nothing to do with it. Bang. "Unforgiven" I drink your milkshake. I drink it up! "There Will BE Blood"

Nah, that fat shite can't cut it to 205.
They’ll give him someone to stand and bang at HW.

Stand up is for real men
I say give Toney anyone just as long as his opponent is willing to stand up. Toney is a master at both striking and defending he will put any of these MMA fighter’s lights out just as long as they are willing to fight like real men.
I just can’t stand that ground hugging and kissing game.
