Today, some boxers are now joining the MMA bandwagon and one of them is Former Heavyweight Boxing Champion James “Lights Out” Toney with a pro boxing record of 72-6-44-3 (Win-Loss-Ko’s-No Contest) and will be facing UFC Hall of Famer Randy “The Natural” Couture 18 – 10 – 0 (Win – Loss – Draw) in August 28, 2010 at . UFC President has been very vocal about the former Heavyweight Champion on his jump on the world of Mixed Martial Arts and doesn’t think that the boxer will beat the Legend in the UFC, .

“James has a puncher’s chance of course. If he clip Randy and knock him out? Of course he is capable of doing that, but all signs point to Couture should he win the fight.” White said.

This bout will define as “Boxing vs. MMA” since this will be the first bout that includes a famous and a legendary boxer to fight another legend in MMA. But White has something to say and he feels that it won’t make any difference, “This isn’t boxing. It’s Mixed Martial Arts.”
