Saturday night after James Toney was choked out by Randy Couture, he told Joe Rogan that he would be back in the Octagon. But Dana White says that isn’t going to happen.

About the matchup White said, “Listen, I didn’t try to sell this thing as, ‘Tune in on Saturday night, and you’re going to see the most spectacular battle and a war…I basically said what I was hoping would happen. Anything can happen in a fight. James Toney picked this fight. We’re not after boxing. We’re not trying to attack boxing. I love boxing, and I thought this question was answered back in 1993, but I’ve got to be honest, as we got closer to the fight, my stomach hurt, and I was a little dizzy and I was nervous.”

“A mixed martial artist stepped in there against a boxer, but at the end of the day, it’s a fight and anything can happen in a fight. Couture came out and won and Toney lasted longer than I thought he would, actually. It’s unfair to bring a guy in with one discipline, no matter if he’s trained for eight or nine months. I wasn’t the guy going out and trying to badmouth boxing and take boxing down and hurt the sport of boxing. James Toney picked a fight, and he got one.”

He got one but it didn’t last long. Still, Toney got a lot of cash to be choked out by Couture and I’m sure he has the last laugh.
