BJPENN.COM was the first to learn that James Toney and Ken Shamrock have agreed to face off in an MMA match on Sept. 23 in El Paso, Texas. While details are still emerging about the venue and fight card, the former UFC fighters are going to face off in a heavyweight attraction in what will be James Toney’s second professional MMA bout.
BJPENN.COM confirmed this with both Toney’s manager and Mr. Toney himself this evening via telephone.
Ken Shamrock is 28-15-2 in 18 years of MMA competition, and 3-7 in his last 10 bouts. James Toney is 73-6-3 in boxing, with his last fight taking place this year on February 24th (retained IBA Heavyweight title in a Unanimous Decision against Damon Reed).

Gobbling for relevancy. Stick to Boxing, James. You've already been embarrassed once.
I wonder if his Dad is going to be training him again...lol
I honestly hope he is not getting paid 500k like his last "fight"
pointless fight in the end shamrock being a disgrace will out weigh his being a pioneer
Why, if you listen to Shamrock talk he's just fighting now because he enjoys it, he knows he's no where near the fighter he once was or has any chance of beating a contender so what's wrong with that? I like this matchup, Toney wants to fight in mma, these are the kind of guys he should be fighting, I'll definitely watch this illegally online after the fact lol.
and UFC claims theyre not putting on freak shows. what a joke. None of these fighters have anything to gain from this fight.. if shamrock wins, he was supposed to win.. if Toney wins, no one liked shamrock anyway, hes a washed up steroid monkey.
so they're not putting on the freak show.
i want toney to win bc shamrock's a goofball
well theyre both goofballs, toney moreso the ball but i still wanna see him win
Freak show of the year.
holy sh*t i thought shamrock retired years ago.... what a freak show!
This is part one of a two part article. Part 2 is "James Toney gets submitted by Ken Shamrock."
mark coleman is next in line for toney
I want it!!!
That ring is gonna smell like Bengay.
this is a bad idea.... what the ell is UFC thinking gambling with James Toney again? send him back to boxing... MMA community has already rejected Mr Toney Baloney
This is not a UFC event.
i doubt its ufc
LOL HOW CAN YOU THINK ITS A UFC EVENT... we all know its taking place in pride
if you have no idea of what you are talking about do yourself a favour don't post anything
Hell, I'd pay for that. Love a good freak show!
What kind of dumbass do you have to be to get humiliated like James Toney did at UFC 118 and then go back in there and do it again? Is he retarded? On second though, don't answer that.
Easy victory for Shamrock.
I thought Toney fought the first time for money but he won't be getting paid 6 figures if this is a small show. I wonder how much he gets.
One fight I won't be watchin
Yeah, way to stick it the man, bro.
Shamrock 1st round submission.
Oh god, what a dark day for combat sports
