WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross previews UFC 118, offers his pick for Randy Couture vs. James Toney
Aug 28, 2010 - 11:27 AM |
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross posted a new blog in which he previewed the UFC 118 pay-per-view, which takes place on Saturday night in Boston. "James Toney weighed in Friday at 237 which means he will likely weigh in a croissant or two shy of 245, or more, come fight time," Ross wrote. "That could be a big problem. Or perhaps not.
"By that I mean that this fight shouldn't go past the first, 5 minute round. Randy Couture, unless he's caught by some out of body, frenzied flurry by Toney's trained fists, should be able to take Toney down quickly and with the little MMA training Toney has had one can expect Randy to submit the former boxing champ.
"Couture weighed in at 220, looked great, and one knows Randy is taking this fight seriously as a loss to JMMA newcomer James Toney by 'The Natural' would not be easy to live down for the proud, MMA legend." To read the full blog, visit JRsBarBQ.com.
Powell's POV: Ross is so confident that Couture will win that he said he would ship some BBQ products to Toney if he proved him wrong. I can't disagree with Ross. Hell, I'll even throw in a free Dot Net membership for Toney if he pulls off the upset. Ross had much more to say about the UFC 118 pay-per-view, and he also noted that he'll be Tweeting throughout the show tonight at Twitter.com/JRsBBQ.
