MMA meets boxing in the Octagon on August 28th when boxer James Toney climbs into the Octagon to take on 
former UFC champion Randy Couture.
Sports Climax’ MMA expert Scott Medeiros feels Toney’s chance is limited, saying “Couture, doesn’t plan on trying to outbox his opponent and will likely look for a take down at the first available opportunity and introduce Toney to the world of MMA.”
Medeiros goes on to say, “Toney has a punchers chance, that’s about it. Couture on the other hand has been in the octagon with the who’s who of Mixed Martial Arts and his experience should overwhelm the one-dimensional boxing champ.”
Here is an interview with James Toney leading up to this highly-anticipated brawl:
