Keith Jardine accepts James Toney's fight challenge
by Natalia Baage on January 23, 2010

What happens when James "Light's Out" Toney lays down a challenge? Keith Jardine accepts - and even throws some money on it.

As James Toney has been interested in joining the UFC - and has even met with Dana White - he posted the following statement to the ProFightNetwork.com forum earlier this week:

"Listening to your radio show would leave me to believe its the only one that hasn't been bought out, I will tell you this, I think I beat every UFC guy out there, but Fedor, not too sure, that is a crazy Russian."

Two days ago, "The Dean" wrote back:

"I will take the Fight" and "my purse if you win, yours if I win."

At the beginning of the month, White held a behind-closed-doors meeting with Toney to discuss the possibility of him fighting in the UFC. Toney had bombarded White over the UFC 108 weekend so that the two could talk. It is unclear if White was serious during their talk, but it seems unlikely that White would sign Toney, who is currently 41 and has never fought in a professional mixed martial arts fight.

If this fight were to happen, it would see Jardine return to the heavyweight division, where he started his UFC career. He is currently set to fight Ryan Bader at UFC 110 on Feb. 21.
