James Toney

They don't call me 'Lights Out' for nothing.

I ain't trying to be no wrestler, I ain't no jiu-jitsu guy, I don't kick, I ain't no girl.

I'm not scared to get hit.

I never turn down a challenge. I never turn down a fight. I don't even turn down my collar.

I love fighting. It's in my blood.

I got respect for Randy Couture, but MMA fighters are scared to come to my sport - so I'm going to theirs.

I'm no sideshow. I fight for real.

I'm great at what I do.

MMA has made me so much better as a fighter. It heightened my skill set even more.

I ain't scared of nothing.

I've always been the underdog.

Everybody out there who thinks I'm going to lose isn't going to believe what I do to him. Randy Couture can't offer me anything I haven't seen inside a ring, and when I hit him, it's going to set a gold standard.

Every man I've fought, I've hurt real bad.

I love danger.

I like being inside. If you're inside I'm going to hit you.

I want to let everybody know what a real fighter does, a real fighter who really knows what he's doing with his hands.

I just love violence.

Boxing is No. 1, period.

McGregor's a UFC fighter. He doesn't know how to punch.

That's the only way I know how to do it. I do it big in boxing, I do it big in MMA.

Look, I'm the best fighter Randy Couture has ever fought in his life.

I'm not a hater of MMA. I love watching it, but I want everyone to know boxing's still on top.

I want to prove boxing's the best sport. Period.

I saw the UFC, Dana White was putting on great fights every month. So I said let's see what they've got.

Yes, I want to hold the UFC championship belt, but I also want to unify boxing's heavyweight division. I have always been this way.

I hate lawyers.

I'm not scared to get hit. I'm no pretty boy.

Challenges motivate me.

I love beating up on heavyweights.

I had trouble my whole career maintaining an unnatural weight. When I was middleweight champ of the world, I would go the last week before a fight on just water and lettuce.

I know how to fight. Look at my record.

When you catch me after the fight, if you ask anybody, they'll tell you, 'James is a funny person.' I like people. I make people laugh.

Before, I guess, I was not training too hard because when I went home, I would not be sleepy.

I do not see anybody in the world train like Billy Blanks. The man is in great shape.

If you ain't got no heart, you can't be a fighter.

I love fighting big guys. They're easier for me. They hit hard, so do I.

I look at it like this, just because you're big doesn't mean you're bad or anything like that. It's all in the heart.

That David Haye is a bum; that other British heavyweight Audley Harrison is a bum. Then you have the Klitschko sisters. They are phoneys, bums.

I can adjust to any style.

Once I was given an honest shot at the title, I knew it would be mine.

I'll fight anybody at any time.

If people have to train outside, in the woods, they're not disciplined.

I like to fight. If you don't like to fight, you shouldn't be in the game.

I don't like people because you don't know who to trust.

I am personally going to destroy John Ruiz for the fans. He's boring, so he's gotta go.

I ain't no pretty boy, so I'm not worried about being ugly.

I'm proud to be the best.

If Randy Couture gets me to the ground, I will knock him out.

My goal is to let everybody know I'm the greatest fighter to ever put on gloves.

The person I wanted to fight right off the bat was Brock Lesnar.
