P4P Grand Prix Tournament -Heavyweights

**-Z-** · 10-11-2009, 04:58 AM

I think it's time the UFC made this happen. Sure, they would have to hold the events outside the US, due to the regulations on weight classes.

My thoughts are, there are too many excellent fighters, it's time we find out who's the best. I remember back in the day when Pride had Grand Prix, they were some of my all time favorite events and the fights were some of the best match ups ever.

I think 2 tournaments would be better. A heavy class (205 and up) and a light class (185 and under).

Here's my thoughts for 2-16 man grand prix line ups.
*Yes, this is pure fantasy.*

Heavies
-Fedor Emelianenko
-Brock Lesnar
-Lyota Machida
-Anderson Silva
-Dan Henderson
-Josh Barnett
-Rashad Evans
-Quinton "Rampage" Jackson
-Randy Couture
-Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira "Nog"
-Shane Carwin
-Brett Rogers
-Junior dos Santos
-Nate Marquardt
-Frank Mir
-Alistair Overeem

*This is the list for the Heavyweight Grand Prix, if you think there should be some changes let me know.*

Lights
-BJ Penn
-Diego Sanchez
-George St. Pierre
-Jon Fitch
-Thiago Silva
-Jake Shields
-Josh Koscheck
-Mike Swick
-Martin Kampmann
-Eddie Alvarez
-Kenny Florian
-Shinya Aoki
-Sean Sherk
-Uriah Faber
-Mike Thomas Brown
-Miguel Torres

*This is the list for the Lightweight Grand Prix, if you think there should be some changes let me know.*

If I get a little interest in this thread I will probably do a online tournament, similar to the MegaOlympia. I will match eveyone up and put them into brackets. We'll have a thread and a poll for each match up and let you decide the winners.

Uriah Faber should be in the lightweight tournament.

Yeh Obliviously its tough I just think He deserves to be in there, he had a killer run in the WEC

I agree, just not sure who to take out yet.

Mr.X brought up doing a All-Time Great Grand Prix, great idea. As long as we have some interest in this one I will be more than happy to set up a All Time Great Tournament.
