Toney confident ahead of fight with Couture

James Toney is confident ahead of his fight with Randy Couture at the UFC 118 event.

Toney believes no one in MMA have a chance against him while standing up.

“He’s got the balls to fight me but there’s no MMA fighter who has the balls to trade punches with me,” Toney said of Couture in a live chat with MMAFighting.com. “If they do it’s suicide.”

“If Randy tries to grab me I’ll hit him so hard his grandparents will feel it,” Toney said. “I keep reminding everybody, the fight starts standing up. To shoot you have to get close and when you do, you’re going to get hurt.”
