MMA fighter DESTROYS Boxer...

Yesterday was the UFC vs Boxing fight. James tony (a world class boxer with a record of 72 wins and 6 losses and current IBA heavyweight champ) challenged the UFC and said he will knock everyone out. The UFC put Tony against the 47 year old Hall of Famer...Captain America, Randy "The Natural" Couture to once and for all prove that MMA fighters, even the weakest and oldest can destroy boxers in a real fight.



Randy Couture man handled James Tony like taking candy form a baby. took james tony down in seconds not letting tony to even get to throw a punch, straight into the mount and choked him out in 3:18 in the very first round. it looked like a kid trying to wrestle with his dad lmao. made James tony eat his words. this was tony's last fight in the ufc and will go back to boxing.





i hope this fight proved how superior MMA is compared to other disciplines and that you should all put your kids into MMA cl@sses for some real self defense.

What are your thoughts on this situation and how did you think the fight would have ended?

Can't say I'm surprised a mixed martial artist who practices and knows multiple fighting styles beat a boxer :P. I wish I could have seen that fight though. Erm, I mean, massacre.

Not surprised tbh. Look at James compared to Randy. It's MMA . Mixed Martial Arts. Boxing is boxing. It's a standup game and the second Randy took him down it was over. Another thing is look at the last picture. James looks out of shape where as Randy looks ripped.

Uh... Why wouldn't an MMA fighter beat a boxer in an MMA match?

Expected, though it doesn't change my feelings about MMA (wrote a thread about it yesterday).

No boxer will beat an MMA fighter in an MMA fight. Just like boxers would beat MMA fighters in a Boxing match.

Nice lol wish i could watch it.

Greetings boxing is a mma

Well, self-defense is a different situation in this case. Trying to grapple your way out of a confrontation with multiple opponents is suicide. For one-on-one matches, MMA is effective for an ultimate, no-rules win, but for defending yourself, staying on your feet is necessary. aaaaarrrrggggg

Give Toney a break he's not that good in grappling and mix martial arts stuffs.

I think the real subject of last nights ppv was the main event. I love Edgar for proving it wasn't a fluke.

Sort of expected that. But how about Frank Edgar? Holy crap he looked good. He didn't even look tired. wstfld

I was not surprised.

what if its a one on one fight and that person takes you down with the intentions of killing you? with no BJJ skills you will not know how to defend form it. and with no wrestling skills you will be taken down. so no i would rather be a all rounded fighter.

Why doesn't Randy Couture challenge him to a boxing match? Obviously the boxer lost, he isn't trained in kicking, grappling, etc.

lets be real here toney did not give a **** about this fight and he talked mad **** to hype the fight up. he cant get big fights in boxing anymore so he tried to come to ufc so he can get a quick paycheck.

Personally the fight was rigged and dana knows it and it was cheap how you gonna put someone NEW to MMA against a former ex heavyweight champ and Hall of famer lol. But then again the way the boxer was talking he deserved to get thrashed but I wonder how things would be if he fought a lesser name in the UFC would things of changed? I think he would of did alot better but in this match experience clearly wins.

[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="GrabTheYayo"]why should he? tony is the one who started a fight with the ufc and said that he can knock all of them out. the ufc gave him what he wanted and told randy to welcome him into MMA. and randy gave it to him. randy knows tony would beat him in a boxing match. but thats all it is...a boxing match, a limited fighting sport. not a real fight.

I didn't watch it but I'm guessing it looked about the same as when two men "destroy" each other in a prison cell late at night while the guards aren't paying attention.

[QUOTE="rawsavon"] Exactly. Dana likes and respects boxing (even though he wants some things changed) Tony talked **** and then got tapped the **** out...don't talk **** unless you can back it uprawsavon

Yeah he was talking **** before he got the fight so he was more likely to get a fight. If he follows Dana White around and keeps talking **** of course he was gonna end up getting a fight.

James Toney with an aluminum baseball bat > Couture's wrestling.

Seriously, there are no rules and sanctions in a real fight. Of course a mixed martial artist will destroy a boxer in an MMA fight, just like a boxer would destroy an MMA fighter in a boxing match.

They're different sports and disciplines and this doesn't prove that MMA is superior to boxing. Both are great and I don't know why some people feel like they have to side with one or the other.

This actually didn't prove anything. 47 year old Randy Couture is still in great shape. "Lights Out" was fat, out of shape, and well beyond his prime. When was the last time he was in the ring?bigdcstile

entropyecho

exactly my thoughts.

[QUOTE="bigdcstile"]I am not saying Tony is great...just that that is not an excuserawsavon

His excuse is that he competed outside of his sport against a legend. He's delusional if he actually believed what he'd been saying leading up to the fight.

This, You couldn't be more right.

A Boxer against a MMA Fighter in a Boxing Match? The Boxer Wins. Boxer vs. MMA in a MMA Match? MMA Wins. They are both great in their own respects, neither is superior.

Give Toney a break he's not that good in grappling and mix martial arts stuffs.

LIONHEART-_-

Give him a break? He ran his mouth about what he could do, and he got owned. He challenged the UFC, not the other way around.
