Did they UFC release James Toney from his MMA contract?

[Degen Gambler]

I know he signed a multi-fight deal back before he fought Couture but I don't recall ever hearing if they released him. He obviously went back to boxing but was he boxing while still technically under contract with the UFC?

Asking for a friend

Technically no, after that fight he came to Dana and quit, but no one understood him so hes been signed ever since

If they can't make Mayweather/McGregor
Expect to see
Toney/Holohan.

I wish they gave Toney a striker instead of a pure wreslter like Coture. Would have made for an interesting evening

Toney vs Roy Nelson

At least Toney aint fast enough to "run" the whole fight

 

[Psychojoe86]

Toney quit or retired after the loss.

I always loved the fact that they photoshopped his UFC pic so he didn't look as fat

I would love to see how he would fair against a pure striker willing to stand with him and not take him down.

 

[Hello There Friend]

I thought he only signed a one fight contract?

I understood him when he challenged the sitting heavyweight champ.....He said, "I want Burn Lesser!"

The arena cleaning crew found his contract crumpled up under Dana's chair after the fight.
