Sherdog has it listed on this card.

Toney better hit him early, b/c once it goes to the mat, it's gonna be over.

Couture would have to be handicapped to not take this fight to the ground

I'm going underdog on this one. Toney KO round 1. Couture has slowed down a lot and his chin is very suspect at this point in his career. All Toney has to do is clip him one time when he's trying to get inside.

I don't think the ufc would put him in this spot on his first fight if the guy didnt have a chance.

I wonder what weight class they will be fighting at? I know Toney was a former middleweight who has fought anywhere and everywhere up to 237 lbs

I don't really know why couture wants this fight, it doesn't help him at all. If he loses it puts him waaaayyyy back almost to retirement. If he wins he just beat a one dimensional fighter with no mma experience at all.

That being said I want to see it

I think they put Toney up against Couture so they can cut him after he gets destroyed. I don't think Dana wants Toney to succeed in MMA alot like Kimbo.

I this has been the hold up. They can't agree on weight. Toney wants to fight at 215 and I'm not sure why that would be a problem for Couture.

I can't believe that Toney would fight that heavy being only 5'9". That's crazy.
