DAN GOOSSEN SPEAKS ON JAMES TONEY’S UFC DEBUT
Los Angeles, CA – On the 28th of this month, the now 41-year old James “Lights Out” Toney – a sure-fire Hall of Fame boxer who has spent the last 22 years pounding his opponents inside the ropes of professional boxing rings – will step inside the Octagon at the TD Garden in Boston, MA making his mixed martial arts debut against another legend of a different sport, 47-year old former UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture.
Many people have wondered why James Toney (72-6-3, 44 KOs) – a man who has captured multiple world titles in multiple weight classes in his sport – would make his MMA debut against someone of the caliber of Randy Couture.

ARREOLA-QUEZADA CONFERENCE CALL TRANSCRIPT
Dan Goossen: I want to welcome everybody on. I know it’s early out here on the West Coast, where this fight is going to be emanating from. You know, HBO’s loss is ESPN’s gain, because 10, 15 years ago, this would have been right up HBO’s and Showtime’s ally to have two hungry heavyweights trying to re-establish themselves into the – the world championship picture and – and to also make history.
I believe this is a history-making fight. And we’ve got the head of ESPN on, and I’m going to ask him to do a little research, if he already hasn’t, which I’m sure he has, but I’m sure in a lot of ways this could be a history-making fight on its own, because I don’t believe there’s ever been two heavyweights at this level or any level, quite frankly, of Mexican descent that have fought one another.
