"He's a mamma's boy, He's gay"
Ariel: "Okay"
classic
haha
Haha
"And hes not a good friend"
James Toney was not given enough credit for stepping in to the octagon.
Lpool FC - Thats because he ran his fuckin mouth, talking all kinds of shit and disrespecting the sport of MMA, and then he got WHOOPED in under 2 minutes, and never fought in MMA again.
And he STILL runs his mouth after losing. He says "Randy Couture was scared to death" blah blah blah, mur mur mur.
He doesnt deserve respect. You gotta give respect to get it.
Hes more of bitch than Deontay Wilder. And maybe even less intelligent. MAYBE. Wilder is pretty fuckin dumb.
James Toney made good money for playing mma
@@shanestewart9197 You would never keep that energy with them in person, keep typing.
@@TSupraLano Is he wrong though?
@@Rembrandtswagster James lost to Randy. Everything else is rubbish 🗑
Favourite fighter of all time. Supreme confidence even if he was deluded.
Throwback all the way we won’t see anything like James ever again
Boxer not fighter
@@heveyweightheveyweight5399 Fighter.
@@heveyweightheveyweight5399 what you got against boxing
@@heveyweightheveyweight5399 boxing is fighting, don't believe me, step in there with a seasoned professional and see how " not fighting" it is
" a legend with 12 losses, aint that a bitch?" LOL. Toney is hilarious.
Bro you said this 12 years ago are u still alive
@@noicemate9111 no
Damn this was a funny ass interview. Wish he fought chuck liddell instead who is more of a stand up warrior.
Yeah it was a terrible match-up for Toney. Pretty sure Dana made sure he was set up to look as bad as possible.
Most likely Chuck Liddell would have body kicked him a few times and KOd him. Would have looked even worse.
@@RoonVonBismarck would not have looked worse lmfao stop
He would fight Liddell for the brain damage trophy.
To go toe to toe with James would have been the worst mistake of liddells career
This is ariel's best interview of all time
If this Was in 2019 Would Be Viral 😂😂
@opugilist No one here is bringing up politics except you. Whining like our President does (victim complex).
Truth
I feel sorry for Toney. Putting this guy in the octagon with Randy is like dropping a rat in a cage with a python. Ground and pound TKO in the first round.
He wouldn't take lower fighters, he just said that.
@@thememaster7so they couldn’t find him one striker? Even if he got kod right away it would be better than getting taken down like that
@@noicemate9111it’s called mma not “boxing with 4 oz gloves”
@@mandoso7222 don’t care it was already a gimmick they should’ve just made it entertaining with kicks and elbows
"The only freak show I got is between my legs." -- James Toney
"Only freak show is between my legs." 😂😂😂
Elite line
Been looking for this for so long
🫣
"Simba, I mean Kimbo" :D
Simba Slice 🤣
🤣
I wish James Toney had atleast 1 more ufc fight
And got fucked up
Didn't to much in his first one except get taken down and choked out
Should've fought Quentina "Asshole" Jackson.
@@Redman092000 exactly we want to see him get humiliated
James toney got paid good money 💵 in the UFC good job James
"What u wanna take it home with u"? James Toney is too funny
" Give us your thought process."
"Well I'm fricking broke and I have 2 brain cells left, so I thought I'd trade one in for a short payday "
Speech problem, don’t mean he got 2 brain cells. He’s always been pretty quick. Maybe u got 2 brain cells
toney vs liddell would be a much better fight. boxer against kickboxer!!!!!
would have been*
Chuck gets koed easy
Liddell was a wrestler first. Wouldn't be pretty.
@@Cg-ru3eh lmao, you dumbass, if both in prime..chuck would murder him in a mma cage.
@@blobber51 in standup, James would fuck Liddel up. Fucking stupid mma fans
James Toney is THE FUNNIEST GUY EVER!!!
Ah man I'm watching this in stitches. The slur that's almost another language. The comedy timing. The outrageous actions.
When he stood up to the interviewer and said "what you gonna do about it?"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😭💯
What language does Toney speak?
Nash Doran He speaks brain damage...
CTE
His routine was 12 rounds of sparring everyday
English it varies by location.
🤣😂
English subtitles in the future, please.
I just found out.
"i dunno jiu jitsu i dunno wrestling, i just know how to fight!"
well apparently not...u kinda need to know either of those to go with an MMA fighter...
lost to the Legend. "The Natural"
Talkin shit n gets choked out in 15 seconds by a guy he says is not a legend and shouldn't be a hall of Famer. Randy was 12 years past his prime and still made it look easy. Brock would've destroyed James lmao. Dana should have put him against Cain Velasquez, a boxer getting knocked out in the ufc would've been great!
james tony would have beat couture in stand up
@@wcam9847 this is mma, he ran his mouth and disrespected a legend and pioneer of the sport the got beat easily. Randy is a grappler not a boxer, he wouldn't beat Cain Velasquez in stand or many others in the UFC. He is 1 dimensional and knew he had no chance which is why he opted out of the rest of his contract
@@Patriot2332 If he got KO'd standing by Cain or anyone else it would have to be by kicks or knees. He wasnt well rounded enough for MMA but he had one of the best boxing skillsets ever and one of the best chins ever. The guy fought as low as 160lbs and all the way up to HW as a boxer, imagine Khabib fighting Ngannou.
3:22 "I wanna fight the best" *points at Brock Lesnar*
oh my god this is gold
“David haye, he gay” 💀🤣
3:27 Did Toney seriously point at Lesnar's poster lamenting not being able to fight him because Brock was ill? Holy Shizzballs. Then he immediately followed up and said he wanted to fight Chuck Liddell "who was sitting there all scared and nervous"?
As if.
I wish so much that he could have fought Lesnar. That would have been extremely entertaining... For about 9 seconds
Ahahaha when he called david hayes gay! 😂😂😂😂😂
3:41 tbh, I think Kimbo would have been a much closer matchup
Oddly, its the most coherent interview with Tony i've heard.
Uve not heard many
What a legend!
"Tune in Aug 28th and you'll see how much I know about MMA" Spoiler Alert: Not much
lol vintage helwani... this back in the daaaaaaaaaay
"i work out wit my dad"
James toney lasted longer than Aldo did with McGregor 🥴
"I don't care about getting signed by anybody, I'm James Tony," Well said James.
only freakshow i got is between my legs... classic toney
Helwani looked scared
How can you not love James Toney? Pure entertainment!
James lights out Toney is a legend
Damn never knew James trained with a solid team for this fight , props to James the only boxer with big enough balls to step in the cage
Respect
Lol Couture basically put Toney to sleep
He was scared as fuck to even exchange 1ce.. Shot right for the takedown.. James woulda knocked that nigga the fuck out
+Max Ruthless Instead he was choked silly.
cowards take it to the ground, go to any hood the fight is just fists and what usually happens is the bitch that is losing loses his composure grabs kicks tackles and so on.. common knowledge... real street fights aint shit.
youre a coward, scared to fight like a man on your feet, gotta go to the ground like a little girl, scared to get hit. fuckn lame.
Tum Bronson So your argument against going to the ground is to invoke what happens when people who don't really know how to fight, fight. k
I don't think this is brain damage. A lot of black people talk like this. They think it's cool or something.
don't start. he's punch drunk, you're just trying to start shit.
ya i can literally link 10 non boxers in under a minute im certain
thats the voice of a man who has had his jaw busted one too many times. has nothing to do with brain damage, has nothing to do with race.
I think its both, indeed some black people do seem to think its cool to speak as if you have mild learning difficulties, but this seems even worse than the average wannabe.
AndIm JustFerocious ur dumb he been talking like that he has a stutter idiot
Why isn’t this interview not talked about more??? This is 1 million + views material here lol !!
"I'm coming to the UFC to prove that boxing alone doesn't cut it in MMA." -- James Toney 😆
Did he say that? Time stamp?
And mma fighters getting beat by RUclipsrs what a strange world
@@albertoarechiga8123Retired MMA fighters**
Put those RUclipsrs in the octagon against MMA rookies or unranked fighters, and that fight will still end in less than a minute.
The subtitles for when Toney talks are halarious XD respect to James Toney though, an all time great
Lmao thanks for this had to turn them on.
At least Toney stood up for what he believed in.
Some MMA fans keep saying how superior UFC is and bla bla bla. keep in mind that UFC exists thanks to japanese judo and jiu-jiutsu, ancient wrestling, boxing, Muai thai and many other arts that were created centuries ago. nothing was created in MMA. choking and grappling is very old people. I know there is a new concept, but people discuss ground fighting and other old techniques, as if these were discovered by the gracie family or danna white. get real people.
My point is that many MMA fans (especially younger) think a neck choke or a low kicks are only well performed by MMA fighters. Saying that old martial arts are useless compared to UFC, when everything came from those ancient arts. I practice judo and did amateur boxing for a few years and I keep respect for both sports. Go to a muai Thai or kick boxing videos, and there are always people saying "those guys will be murdered in UFC".... I hope these morons know where low kicks and punch combinations came from. I like the MMA concept, but I rather watch a boxing fight any day. Just my personal opinion.
I know they boxer or muai Thai guy are more likely to get a ground beating in UFC, but I'm just saying that thanks to jiujitsu, judo and wresting, MMA fighters can take down the boxer or the kick boxer. A pure judoka or wrestler can take a boxer o karate practitioner down anytime. Nothing new.
I understand your point, but you did not understand mine. By the way, in judo you can pin, choke or break anybody's arm. MMA is great, because incorporates all kind of techniques, but that's not what im talking about. My comment is more about the MMA fans rather than the fighting art itself.
only thing mma created is a majority percentage of ignorant fans and jobs. I salute you sir for your intelligence.
I'm rewatching interviews, countdown and weigh-ins to get the whole experience of James Toney getting his ego broken 💀
Dana White said that if a boxer caming into MMA, they would get their ass kicked, but it goes both ways. Don't expect a mma fighter to stand with a boxer.
legendary mma interview... period ! loool
He sounds very punch drunk. :(
Tune in August 28th and you will see how much I know about MMA ,
and it's a 1st round knock out ,
the winner , Randy " The Natural " Couture
Hey don't feel so bad there James Toney you came in 2nd place
And they both got paid good $$ ;) mma fans financed James Toney New car and vacation
last 30 seconds are epic :D all day!
take the peanut butter out of your mouth
say what u will about him but he did an awesome job of helping to promote mma even though he probably didnt mean too
What is Toney even saying?
+Michael Phillips is he even saying english?LOL
+Qilu Xie I have to listen hard, just to barely hear him. Lmao.
+Michael Phillips These boxers take so much brain damage its sad. You see then like this
***** well u know, they took too much punches on the head and countless concussions
Turning on the subtitles doesn't exactly work either haha
Nice try James... nice try!
I mean that too... kudos for having the guts to try the top of the MMA!!
James' head probably hurts from all the questions. hahahaha.
Now I know how I sound when I talk with a mouthful of sawdust....
@6:44 "only freak show I got is between my legs"
James Phoney goes off on Randy Couture ,
James Phoney wins the Bullshit contest
MMA match Randy Couture wins with a first round KNOCK OUT
The fucking smirk on Ariel's face, he was so confident (much like all of us) about Toney getting killed.
Electronic91 i think he's laughing at toneys english skills
In UFC they grab you by your ankle and never let go.
The fuck? he actually wanted to fight Brock Lesnar or Chuck Liddell both of them would have murdered him
"These guys aren't even retired and they already in the hall of fame, yall got the shit backwards, but I tell ya what... I'ma clean it up!" lol, James was worthless come fight night but priceless leading up to it!
I'm still baffled by the fact a commission approved this fight. He couldn't get a boxing license. He was out of shape and most importantly brain damaged.
He shouldn't get any praises for stepping inside the cage as well. It was just a greedy move to make a quick buck.
Its not like he was going against a prime killer heavyweight. He was against a 47 yr old hof who was 5 yrs older than toney
LOL... and he wanted to fight the Lesnar..
Lesnar woulda have EATEN him xD
Already punch drunk from boxing. MMA is probably the last thing he should do.
Toney can hardly talk - you know the guy's IQ is super low. Randy Couture just completely destroyed him in minutes. The guy was totally delusional about MMA.
he looks and talks like latarian milton
@OidrunkIrirshninja "missionary position" is not something people jump into in MMA for points. It's called open guard, and when someone puts you on your back, you get into it because it's the safest position to be in, because you can control your opponents head and avoid strikes and submissions more easily. It also allows you to prevent your opponent from advancing to dominant positions such as mount or side control, where your head becomes a pinata.
it was insanely unrealistic to think that he would have a chance in a MMA fight. I believe that a UFC fighter a lot worse than Randy would have still won against this guy
Classic interview. James was so irritated with Ariel💯🤣🔥
The Bitchko’s lmao and fraudlay Harrison James I pure gold
I can’t talk, so I gotta fight lol
5:12 would be a viral meme if this interview happened today
James finessed Dana white for a cheque lol James knows how to get a bag.
Ariel has beem smacked by Rampage Jackson, James Toney got in his face, and hes pissed off Tio Ortiz. This is a reporter with some BALLS
Kimbo slice probably would have been more competitive
LOL he wanted Lesnar.... You would've gotten eaten Toney...
@jerodt9 No, even though he proved boxing alone even with 9 months of grappling training won't cut it. I respect him for stepping up and trying.
4:09 - 4:12 watch it seriously watch toney's reactions, and facial reactions.
” Bitchko Sisters” 😂
I understand about half of what Toney says. If that.
I honestly enjoy both sports, but boxing is MUCH MORE a "fight" to me...sure, there are boring boxing matches, but a good toe to toe battle between two heavy hitters (Hagler Hearns anyone!?) is much more entertaining, and more of a fight than seeing someone try to put someone else in some hold. A lasso expert could bring a guy down and hog tie him too, doesn't make him tougher, he just knows how to negate the others power..stand and fight like men!
That being said, Couture did a perfect job.
Dana should've set up a Kimbo vs. James Toney fight instead of having an MMA vs. Boxing showcase which was short and boring. A kimbo/Toney fight would've been a slug fest, a street fighter vs. professional boxer, it would've been exciting.
Iowa lot was Botha...famous quote by Tony. Lol
His shit talking was more entertaining than his his match
Only freakshow i got is betwenn my legs hahahah
James Toney’s responses are classic. He never gets upset with interviewer in a violent manner! 😂 I would have!
come on over here! come on over here! come on over here, I am doing an interview from here! lol epic!
He was already slurring here and way out of his prime, fair play to randy he did what he had to
Is that slurring thing a problem with a brain? I thought it was just a very heavy accent at first but after reading more comments it seems to be attributed to cte brain damage
@@JohnSmith-dd6xk also refered to as punch drunk, too much shots to the head, yup CTE
Awwwww he looks pretty in his little pair of earrings.
Wait wtf didn't he fought Brock...
Poor guy Randy Couture destroyed him in the first round, like a piece of cake, Randy did not make any special effort, it was so easy! Toney was humiliated and had to eat all his silly trash, I have to say he had a serious real fight in the UFC for the first time in his life and got his ass beaten, confronting a real fighter, now Toney is Miss Tonina, giving Toney a piece of his medicine, now he is the gay person he accused Randy ! that shuts up all the bullies in Boxing !
When Toney talks is the only time when youtube's close captioning function is actually spot on.
I can't help but think boxing gives you more brain damage than MMA, especially after comparing Couture's interview with Toney's at the end of their fight. Granted, Toney was fighting professionally roughly a decade before Couture made his debut in MMA, but he's still been in the sport for a long time and speaks perfectly intelligible English.
He does not represent boxing at all ..... Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, especially Ali with 16 oz gloves punches faster and harder than UFC fighters wearing 4 oz gloves James vs Randy was a joke but Randy is no joke he's a real champion
Why this interviewer keep tryna mess with tony, he annoying af
He's like that with everyone, a known annoying interviewer lol
Chuck would’ve put him in a coma lol
He may be a juiced up boxer, but I absolutely love his cocky attitude. This is the mindset of a winner. Why were they so sceptical surrounding this match, when it only took one punch from mercer, to knockout Sylvia?
Clearly Boxers hit way harder than MMA guys. Sylvia had never been knocked down in his entire carrier... That should tell you something
Man damn James Toney, should have never entered that octagon; one of boxing's great fighters should be in the HOF when his time is due. I due think he was set up though....i mean his first fight was against Randy freaking Couture. To the idiots who say MMA is Superior are stupid. Both are extremely difficult and when facing a veteran master of either sport for your 1st bout your likely to get your ass kicked.
gucci mane?
