That’s right, James Toney, who is 47 years old, will be fighting once again. This time around he’ll be taking on Eric Martel Bahoeli on Nov. 27., at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario. Toney, who some MMA fans might remember as the guy who took on Randy Couture and got dominated, probably shouldn’t be fighting anymore, let’s just be honest.

Kimbo Slice’s return to mixed martial arts at “Bellator 138: Unfinished Business” against Ken Shamrock may not have been a world-class technical display of skill, but it did more than get the job done. The main-event drew over two million viewers to SPIKE so they could see a fight take place that was years in the making. Now that his rivalry with Shamrock is past him, Slice is prepared to make an impact in Bellator while being a ratings-monster. “I gotta a lot fans out there that love to see me fight,” Slice told MMA Fighting. “That’s one thing you can’t change, you can’t stop. I’m going to put a***s in seats. Those numbers are going to be there. I’m going to fight and they know when you’re coming to watch a Kimbo Slice fight – no matter who the f*** his opponent is – that’s gonna be a fight. Somebody’s getting knocked the f*** out. Something’s happening in that fight, in that match with Kimbo and whoever.”

The self-proclaimed “Baddest Man on the Planet” Joe Warren’s plans for a run at Bellator’s bantamweight championship were pushed to the side after he failed a drug test for marijuana. Now, Marcos Galvao is left opponent-less once again for his fight at Bellator 144. Eduardo Dantes was originally supposed to fight Galvao at Bellator 144, however he was forced out of the fight with an injury. Galvao was informed he would be facing Warren instead, but plans for the fight were scrapped shortly thereafter when the promotion found out about his failed drug test.

Alright MMA fanboys, try not to go to crazy, but Quinton “Rampage” Jackson says he’d like to fight on that NYE card in Japan.

The former UFC champ said, during a live Twitch stream, that the UFC have given him the OK to settle with Bellator, which means he could end up fighting for them again.

I’m pretty sure these rumors of a Floyd Mayweather return will never end. First, he was coming back to rematch Manny Pacquiao and now he could be in talks to fight Adrien Broner in 2016. Again, this is essentially a rumor, with not a ton of information to back it, just a writer claiming to have heard something from one of his sources. So here it is.

It looks like former Bellator bantamweight and featherweight champion Joe Warren tested positive for marijuana following his win over LC Davis at Bellator 143. That’s according to a report from themmareport.com. The report says that Warren failed his post fight drug test, barely going over the allowed marijuana metabolite limit. In fact his level was 53 ng/ml and the legal limit in the state of Texas, where the event took place, is 50 ng/ml. So he was only over by 3 ng/ml. It might be worth noting that WADA’s limit for marijuana is 150 ng/ml.

Invicta FC bantamweight champion Tonya Evinger entered a ring girl competition, but unfortunately she came up short and didn’t win. It might have something to do with the fact that she wore a hot dog costume and jeans.
