"I never heard anything about me fighting James Toney, but you know, like I said, again, I'll fight anybody, man. C'mon, everybody knows that about me from my street-fighting days. Put anybody in front of me, train me to be the best, I'll fight the best. That's one thing about Kimbo Slice that everybody knows."
“I wanna be a real fighter. That’s what a real fighter does, right? Fights.”
That’s what former UFC lightweight champion B.J. Penn told MMAWeekly.com prior to his loss to Frankie Edgar at UFC 118 in Boston. The loss was his second straight defeat to the current champion.
Following that loss, many questioned where Penn goes from here. Does he pack his bags and go home? Does he pick up the pieces and start anew?
Two former UFC light heavyweight champions, Quinton Jackson and Lyoto Machida, have reportedly found a location to host their main event match-up to determine which fighter gets back into the 205-pound title hunt.
The Detroit Free Press brings word that The Palace of Auburn Hills will present the UFC 123: "Rampage vs Machida" pay-per-view (PPV) on November 20 in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
UFC president Dana White made things simple for fans and members of the MMA media who were questioning what happens next with James "Lights Out" Toney and the UFC in the future: nothing happens next.
White confirmed the end of their working relationship in his post-UFC 118 interview with Ariel Helwani on Saturday night in Boston.
The interview, which was shot shortly after the UFC 118 post-fight press conference, featured White point-blank stating that we won't be seeing Toney involved in any future MMA fights. Well, at least any MMA fights that are promoted by Dana White and the UFC.
