The Million Dollar MMA Experiment Featuring James Lights Out Toney


It takes a lot of cash money to live up to the style boxer James Toney is accustomed to, and according to published reports, UFC President Dana White is going to provide a nice pile of that legal tender for Toney tonight when he meets Randy Couture at UFC 118.

The first time he donned a pair of the UFC-approved, four-ounce MMA gloves, Toney was shocked.

“I said, ‘Serious? Are you kidding me? I have to check my bank account to make sure I have the money for bail because I’m going in for murder.’ ”

This week Toney was flashing a pair of diamond bracelets on his right arm which he said set him backabout $10,000 each.”

He was also sporting, at least according to his accounting, a $5,000 diamond ring, a 255-karat diamond watch clocking in at $185,000 and $200,000 necklace. He would have been even more resplendent with stones if not for an ‘accident’ which resulted in the loss of a huge diamond earring.

“I lost the big one,” he said. “I was being James Toney, fighting in a parking lot back home in Detroit. … It fell off.”

Diamonds aren’t the only stones Toney has, taking on Randy Couture at his own game indicates that “Lights Out” also has balls made from a slightly less valuable commodity – brass.

Toney’s friends and handlers think he’s nuts for trying it, but in the fight game, money talks.

“MMA is the king of the s*** right now,” Toney said. “I can’t get no fights.”
