James (had his) "Lights Out" Toney sings a different tune following his submission loss to Randy Couture at UFC 118 last Saturday night (Aug. 28) in Boston. The portly pugilist was taken down and choked out by "The Natural" in a lopsided affair designed to draw casual fans to a "Boxing vs. UFC" contest that proved just how different both sports are despite Toney's pre-fight trash talk. Can the fading legend convince Couture to get his butt whooped inside the boxing ring? Or is there nothing left to prove after his "Beantown" beatdown?

After NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal made his his first public appearance as a newly signed Boston Celtic at this past weekend's UFC Fan Expo Boston 2010 at the Hynes Convention Center in "Shaqachussetts," could the "Big Shamrock" soon become the "Big Octagon?"

If it's up to O'Neal, fantasy could become reality.

Wanderlei Silva's surgically repaired right knee is still healing, but it didn't stop the MMA legend from attending this past weekend's UFC 118, nor has it stopped him from dreaming big about the future.

Silva, who still has significant rehabilitation ahead of him, said that if all goes well, he hopes to be back competing in the octagon in February or March.

Twice now WEC bantamweight contender Joseph Benavidez (12-2 MMA, 4-2 WEC) has taken current champion Dominick Cruz to the final bell in the cage, and twice he's come up short.

Benavidez says the first result was a learning opportunity – a chance to regroup, retool and refocus.
