<CENTER><B>JAMES TONEY SHOWS NO RESPECT FOR MMA AND RANDY COUTURE THIS FRIDAY NIGHT ON HDNET'S "INSIDE MMA"</B><BR><BR>

A stacked panel of guests will unleash wild remarks on HDNet on Friday, August 20 at 9:00 p.m. ET</CENTER><BR><BR>

WHAT: In an exclusive interview with Kenny Rice on this Friday's "Inside MMA," James Toney doesn't hold back about his MMA debut with Randy "The Natural" Couture. In a no-holds-barred rant, Toney said, "All you have to do is knockout a couple of bums, all of a sudden you're a (UFC) hall of famer."<BR><BR>

Toney, the IBA Heavyweight boxing champ, will battle Randy Couture at UFC 118 later this month.<BR><BR>

Joining Kenny Rice and Bas Rutten on this week's panel is former UFC Champ Forrest Griffin, who tells the group that the best way for him to get a belt would be for "me to go to somebody's house and steal it."<BR><BR>

Also on the program, Mark Pavelich encourages Antonio McKee to "bring the action this time." McKee says that if he isn't exciting this time, "I'm going to retire." Pavelich went on to say that if, "[a] person pays $600 dollars to sit ring side, [they] want to see fighting."<BR><BR>

Ron Kruck also previews his new series "Inside America's Gyms," providing viewers an exclusive look into MMA training centers across the country.<BR><BR>
