Which one is better? Am in a dilemma in deciding which lens to purchase for sports, wildlife photography.

I WOULD MOST CERTAINLY GO FOR THE 50-500 SIGMA AS IT HAS A BETTER TELE RANGE THAN THE TOKINA,I AM ALSO THE PROUD OWNER OF ONE OF THESE LENSES, AND HAVE HAD EXCELLANT RESULTS WITH IT (I DO A LOT OF WILD LIFE PIC,S)

I've got the Sigma, but don't recomend it at all. Firstly the weight and secondly the general softness. Maybe I just bought the Monday version. PS don't bother with a 2x converter as it just results into 2x the above problems.
