You may not understand the genius that is James Toney. In fact, some of thought you would never see 'James Toney' and 'Genius' in the same sentence. It's alright. Your approval is not a requisite for James Toney to make an extraordinary amount of money in his MMA debut. According to Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports, Toney made an estimated $750,000 to $1,000,000 at UFC 118. Too bad the IRS was literally waiting for him backstage to confiscate his entire fight purse. It's actually news that we broke in our Sunday Morning Rumor Mill months before it hit the rest of the MMA world, but hey -- The Sunday Morning Rumor Mill is so ahead of its time that on most Sundays, it's actually late. Just think about that.

James Toney gave an interview to BJPenn.com and among the expected Rampage Jackson call-outs, Toney briefly touched on the IRS yanking all of his money at the TD Garden.

"I learned to keep my emotions in check. I lost my attention span in that fight. I was dealing with all that b******* before with the IRS and that’s what happened. When I heard the IRS was after my check right before that fight. It was like 35 minutes before that fight I found out they wanted to come take my money so my mind wasn’t on the fight, it was on that situation."

"Just because I lost the fight with Couture doesn’t mean I’m done with MMA. I’m still going to go back in there. I have just been handling big business right now. I’m looking forward to getting back in there hopefully against Rampage Jackson."

Win or lose, James Toney still wins. It's like some twisted game of Candyland where every move will put a year's salary in your pocket. Maybe BJ Penn is right, James Toney is 'God's gift to MMA'. [Source]

What a racist ignorant bum. Boxing is irrelevant and so are you. Rampage would gas you out and then youd get KTFO. You big belly looks like one of those whopper candies. Your so dumb you dont know how to pay taxes. Your credit score probably looks like a donut so have a glass of milk with it. Your so brain dead you make Mohammed Ali look like a Harvard professor.

That Couture fight was the easiest payday for Toney. He had no intention of fighting and now he's trying to goad Rampage into a fight with is ignorant smack talk.

As if Rampage wouldn't do that exact same thing Couture did to him.

I still want to watch Rampage smash his mouth in. In fact I want to watch as many MMA fighters smash his mouth in as it takes to keep it permanently shut. It's not like anyone can understand him anyway.

Toney is goddamn fool. He belongs in the octagon as much as my seven year old daughter does...and she'd probably wipe the mat with stupid, gum-bumpin ass.

If only Dan Henderson was still around in the UFC. He could give Toney one of those "Bisping elbows" just to "shut him the hell up".
