UFC Hall of Famer, Randy Couture is talking about his upcoming fight with James Toney at UFC 118 on August 28 in Boston, Massachusetts.
Speaking via MMAMania.com, Couture said:
“There’s no risk. I don’t understand why people keep saying that. How is it a risk? This is a fight that garners a whole bunch of eyes from the boxing world as well as other areas and can bring new fans over to MMA.”
“James Toney poses all kinds of problems. There’s a lot of unknowns coming into this fight, not just for him, but for me as well. Look at what he’s accomplished in the sport of boxing, some of the names he’s beaten. He’s a dangerous opponent and I think an interesting opponent. The bottom line is there’s a lot more going on in this sport than whether I win or lose.”
This will be Couture's first fight in the Heavyweight division since moving down to Light Heavyweight last year. Randy is on a two fight winning streak in the Light Heavyweight division with victories over Brandon Vera and Mark Coleman.
