5 James Toney MMA Fights Worth Making Happen
Posted on Sep 5, 2010
Toney VS. Mirko "CroCop" Filipovic:
If there’s one thing Mirko “Crocop” Filipovic isn’t going to do, it’s shoot the takedown immediately. Crocop is a well versed, seasoned striker himself and his pension for brutal knockouts all but ensures Crocop keeps this fight in Toney’s realm. The likely scenario is Filipovic chopping away at the legs of James Toney for a round or so before landing that highlight reel left high kick finish we all miss so much. But the beauty of this potential clash lies in the chances of Toney finding success, which are significantly stronger in this case than the Couture clash. It’s not likely, but it’s definitely conceivable that Toney backs Crocop against the cage and (yeah, I had to say it) puts the lights out. Toney VS. Paul "The Headhunter" Buentello: Paul “The Headhunter” Buentello has made some noise in this sport oveer the years. With victories under the King Of The Cage, Strikeforce, Affliction and UFC banners, he’s built himself a bit of name recognition and a solid résumé as well. One of the biggest problems Paul has faced over the course of his career is his inability to adjust his gameplan and take the fight to the mat when his hands are failing him. He’s succumbed to strikes on six separate occasions, and lacks fluidity in his movement, but he does carry respectable power. This is a fight that James Toney can definitely win, no question about it. If Buentello can’t successfully force Toney against the cage where he can wear him down, and eventually put him away, The Headhunter will become the Headhunted.

That's one way of looking at it; another is that he didn't know what the hell he was doing - or that he just wanted some money...listening to him speak, he doesn't seem to be the most 'on the ball', discerning person, does he?
