After berating UFC president Dana White on several media outlets in recent months, 41-year-old boxing champion James Toney (72-6 Boxing, 0-0 MMA) has reportedly signed a multi-fight agreement with the Las Vegas-based promotion.
The report was issued Tuesday by FiveOuncesOfPain.com citing sources close to negotiations, and MMAFighting.com's Mike Chiappetta has since confirmed the deal after speaking to White.
Toney, the current NABO and IBA heavyweight champion, pitched himself to White before cameras following UFC 108 in January and afterward blasted the UFC president for what he considered a "laughable" offer to fight in the octagon.
Ever since, Toney has taken every opportunity to challenge White for a contract.
"Dana White is a straight up ho!" Toney told Fighthype.com this past week. "He makes me a five-fight offer for chump change and said I can't box anymore if I accept it. He must have lost his damn mind."
It appears talks have brightened considerably since then.
At least one UFC fighter will welcome Toney into the cage.
"I think a lot of people would pay to see that," UFC heavyweight contender and "The Ultimate Fighter 10" winner Roy Nelson recently told Steve Cofield of Yahoo! Sports.
This is all to be confirmed but the news comes from several reliable sources....lets see.

Could make alot more fans for the UFC, If Toney wins a fight, there will be alot of boxing fans really happy, and If he gets smashed, then Dana will turn around and have a poster boy to show that MMA is tougher than Boxing. Kinda a smart move by Dana IMO.
