Not long after getting choked out by Rand Couture at UFC 118, James Toney has already been running his mouth again. Speaking to FightingHype.com Toney said he is interested in taking another shot at the Octagon, and he even has a date in Mind - UFC 123, which is scheduled to take place in a suburb of his hometown Detroit.

UFC 123 will be headlined by Machida and Evans, but Toney thinks the UFC will benefit from having him on the card in his hometown.

Despite Toney's ambitions, White has more or less closed the book on Toney saying he was one and done. Toney made a $500,000 purse for what turned out to be a three minute and nineteen seconds appearance as the co-main event.
