Jon ‘Bones’ Jones Is Putting His Money on Randy Couture to Beat James Toney

Jon Jones thinks James Toney is just blowing smoke with all his talk about handling Randy Couture at UFC 118.

“Do you really think you’re going to uppercut a collegiate wrestler when he’s coming full force into a double leg dive?

I think he (James Toney) is just really naive to think that with hand combinations alone he’s going to be able to defend takedowns from the clinch and double leg dives.

So I think he’s just ignorant in a way and I don’t really have a hard time calling him ignorant because of some of the statements he’s made about our sport.”
