BOSTON--round one goes to James Toney.The world champion boxer turned mixed martial artist of who makes his MMA debut at Saturday's UFC 118, captured the lion's share of media attention during the first day of the week battle.
A pre fight at a press conference at the historic Faneuil Hall overshadowed Toney five times, complex UFC champion Randy Couture, who will be against him on Saturdday.
Is it something like a new role for Couture, who is used in every battle he became a part of which was for the last five years in the spotlight in the main event. This is the main event, and so he is not only in the second billed fight, he has also Toney's incessant promotion deal.
Of course, Couture never exactly a loudmouth from the outset been, and it seems just fine with ceding attention Toney which was to hold his tongue one, never exactly.
"I don't all do talk," said Couture. "Everything is happening in the Käfig.Das everything what counts."
It would be the second and last question, the couture during the 30-minutes question and answer session with the press, but it led to fielded a loud ovation of the fans in attendance.
This sport is still further and explode if I win or lose.
--Randy Couture Toney, meanwhile, was his usual bombastic, over-the-top, promised that he made the transition seriously when he the MMA realm eintritt.Sprichwort he has "seven or eight" great weeks of training, Toney called themselves "the best fighters in the world, period."
"People say I this not possible, and that MMA is different", he said."It is no different.""Once in the ropes in the cage, I'm another animal."
Couture and Toney hardly eye contact made when first went on the stage, but rigid Couture met two for thumbnail faceoff after the press conference with Toney long after removing the MMA legend betrachtet.Wenige moments later, but after photographer transition were to shoot BJ Penn and Frankie Edgar, Toney approached Couture and shook his hand.
Seconds after he went to a table and grabbed Edgars belt put it around his waist.
"Honey, come get it!" he cried to his wife which was the audience with his children.
Toney, many belt in his time, like Couture has collected a long way toward adding a MMA is one to his coat but a breathtaking would upset about Couture a reward of his own. While some have said, couture is to defend the sport against an invading enemy, it seems not him in the least phase.
"" I don't think pressure, it is just another battle, another opportunity, "Said Couture.""We are always in the cage, and I'm always nor komfortabel.Dieser sport will continue to go on and explode if I win or verlieren.Ich had a large warehouse nor I am ready to go."
