Five time UFC champion, Randy “The Natural” Couture has praised James “Light’s Out” Toney for being the first high profile boxer to step up and take on the best the world of MMA has to offer by joining the ranks of the UFC.

Speaking via Wisconsin Combat Sports, Couture said:

“Several boxers have stepped up and said that we are no good at striking and they would knock us out, and James Toney is no different. He’s the first one that is willing to step up and put his money where is mouth is though, and I’d love to welcome him into MMA. There is no reason boxers can’t be successful in MMA. However, they need to learn, just as I did as a wrestler, that there are a lot of different techniques to learn. Or else they will be a fish out of water if they ignore those skills.”
