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.
Toney was last seen in MMA action at UFC 118 when he made his first and only appearance in the UFC in what was a losing effort to Randy Couture. Toney recently fought and won a boxing match in February to retain his IBF heavyweight title.
Shamrock is an MMA legend that has seen better days. He was last seen in action at a King of the Cage event last November where he posted his tenth loss in his last fourteen fights. Still, the crafty cage veteran will be a good benchmark for the aspiring Toney and a much more realistic opponent for the newcomer than the likes of Randy Couture.
We will update you as more information becomes available.
