Chris27 - 16 man tournament

JDS
Reem
Cain
DC
Werdum
Shogun
Machida
Big Foot
Anderson
Bones
Hendo
Carwin
Weidman
Sonnen
Hendo
Gustafsson

You also have Forrest, Sonnen, Glover, Page, Browne, Nelson

That tournament would be insane.

Have to figure JDS, Cain, Reem, DC, Silva or Bones would win it all.

Throw motivated BJ into this tournament and he pulls atleast 1 win out!... Probably not but we can hope Phone Post

Anderson has a shot but based on size I'd say JJ or JDS. My opinion may change after the JDS reem fight. Phone Post

MolsonMuscles - Who in MMA beats a 210 pound Anderson Silva?

Velasquez with wrestling, cardio, and the accurate strong ground and pound

That was my thought

Then that other dude sat me down Phone Post

You know what they need? UFC 1/Pride tourney. I can see MW-HW. 

 

Anderson

Jon Jones

Cain Velasquez 

JDS

Reem

Shogun 

Machida 

Belfort

 

Actually if they were to pick people for such an event I would do 

 

Maia -Representing BJJ

Machida- Representing Boxing

Sonnen-Representing Wrestling

Rampage-Representing Boxing 

Shogun- Representing Muay Thai

Belcher-Representing Kickboxing 

DC-Representing Free Style

Fedor- Representing Sambo

 

Would be sick to have Fedor debut into something like this

They should ALSO do a 35 to 55

Cruz

Barao

Aldo

Edgar

Zombie

Lauzon

Diaz

Benson Phone Post

If I were to guess, I'd say:

JDS
Overeem
Cain
Werdum
Carwin
Bigfoot
Mir
Jones

all to beat him.

Another 10+ guys at even odds.

The only person that beats JDS in this tournament is if Overeem can live up to the hype.

Weightclasses exist for a reason folks. All the fighters I listed know this. Strange that so many fans do not.

Should add GSP to the list as well, he is a huge star and would weigh in around 190 plus on fight night so he could be in as well.

Ah shit, I wrote Henderson there, then went down and wrote Rampage for boxing, then decided Machida for karate and took Henderson out and forgot the important part. My bad, will edit

kawz1 - Tough to say, but I think the final four will be:

JDS
JJones
Anderson
Cain/Reem/DC (not sure who)

I miss the open-weight tourneys. Now that the UFC has 95% of the top fighters in the world, an open-weight tourn would really go a long way in determining the "baddest man on the planet". They should put up a $5M tourney bonus or something. It would attract a lot of eyes to MMA and the UFC.

Agree. Phone Post

Id say one of the heavyweights, probably Jds. They would be too big and strong. Look at the finishing rates of the heavyweights its really high Phone Post
