UFC Grand Prix 2017 @ 150lbs

[Jake the Muss]

If there was ever a time to do a UFC tournament, it would be now!

UFC Grand Prix 2017 @ 150lbs:
Alvarez
Conor
Aldo
Frankie
Cerrone
Khabib
RDA
Holloway

4 fights in the quarter finals, 2 in the semi finals, 1 championship finals. That would definitely shake both the FW and LW divisions up.

Here is a list of replacement fighters if one of the above gets injured:
Pettis
Ferguson
Barboza
Lamas
Swanson
Diaz
Stephens
Poirier

I know this a bit of fan boy fantasy matchmaking, but Pride made it happen, so why not???

 

[Death By Samson]

A few of those guys are not making 150 lbs.

 

[Get_that_yayo]

Post USADA, 80% of those guys are hurt at some point leading up to the tournament.

 

[Thisisme2]

Im down for every tournament pride style. Those were the pinnacle of mma.

 

[Kingofthestreets]

So basically all the top guys,
Rory is right in this ufc is boring.
They could so like 1 round fights in the brackets; round of 8 1x5 minutes round of 4 1x5 minutes and the finals 3x5

 

[touchedbyjab]

UFC would never do something this awesome.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

They need to do it at 170. Shit is just too crazy right now.

 

[welcometohavoc]

I just want one open weight tournament. Just one. I want to see Cruz fight Bisping and MM fight Conor. I want to see Woodley fight DC.

 

[Ravens19]

Agreed. 155 and 170 is like death row at the moment

 

[chunglii]

UFC would never do something this awesome.

something this awesome would get wrecked by injuries and alternates.

if rumble made 170 even once, then khabib can make 150.

yeah, somehow 2 days before the final miesha tate and Amanda nunes would become the grand prix finalists.

I imagine the quarter finals to be one main card (3 x 5 minute rounds), and the semis as co main events on the second card (3 x 5 minute rounds), and have the finals as the main event on a third card (5 x 5 minute rounds).

 

[AC1D1K]

tuf is basically a grand prix

 

[Death By Samson]

Khabib struggles hard with the cut to 155. He is not making 150.

khabib going to 150 would not be the craziest cut that's happen by a long shot

 

[Death By Samson]

khabib going to 150 would not be the craziest cut that's happen by a long shot

Khabib walks at 190+ and he is not overly muscled. He is not making 150. He barely makes 155.

Well replace him with Ferguson or Pettis.

Not quite, but I see what you are saying.

 

[Hi-Tech]

Khabib and Tony Ferguson are not making that weight in a healthy way no matter what. They walk around as LHWs. Nate Diaz and Cerrone just fought at WW.

I would not want to see the weigh ins for that tournament, it would look like a parade of concentration camp survivors.
