UFC 118: Edgar vs. Penn 2/Toney vs. Couture August 28th, Fight Thread

Dana never should have made the fight. Seriously Kimbo would have done better against Randy. He's at least in shape with a few years MMA training. Toney is like 10 years past his prime and 40 pds fat.. His reaction time to the Randy shoot was friggin laughable..

It was a freak-show start to finish..

What's really irritating is that Toney probably made more for this one time freak fight than many of the guys make in their entire UFC careers. Rumor has it (unproven rumor, mind you) that Zuffa gave that lazy bas 750k for his first-round loss last night.

Toney did a great job promoting the fight. I had no problem with it.

Off-topic, but I noticed that Captain America was wearing a wedding ring at the post-fight presser. Remarried already. Just as his book indicated - Randy never gets a divorce without already having a replacement wife in mind.

son is he marrying Gina Carano?

LOL

He wishes..

Having trained with him for years, she probably knows enough to stay the away. I like Randy overall, but he has issues with women that no amount of marriage can cure.

He makes mistakes


Any biggie?

what's the precise issues?

By his own admission, Randy cheats. A lot. He cheated on his first wife with the woman who became his second wife, then cheated on her with the woman who eventually became his third wife (Kim Couture). If he followed his old pattern, he cheated on Kim with the woman who is now his fourth wife, causing their divorce.

[polandprzem]

cheated - you mean he had sex with other women?

That's what i consider no biggie

I though there was something more into it. I knew he 'cheated'.

If you're married, it is a biggie. The whole point of being married is to NOT f*ck other people

You're right about this being a new Frankie. He really took it to BJ in this fight and it was impressive. He really believed he was the better fighter this time around.

Maynard is way stronger and way bigger wrestler.

what Frankie can do on defense to overcome this Maynards advantages?

Leg kicks are difficult because Maynard can catch them, but I think Frankie's camp can figure out a way to make Mayard more cautious about shooting in. BJ's counters are some of the best, and Frankie peppered him all night so I don't see Maynard as comfortable with being chased as he was with Kenny. I also think Frankie won't mind working off his back, since all Gray has done is lay and pray.

Also, I know I've talked crap about Frankie but I really hope he defends his le as impressively as this last fight.

He does have that "someone just beat up my wife" look right there
