If UFC held a Bellator-style "heavyweight" tournament who would win?

[BigMuffler]

Winner of fight 1 fights winner of fight 2 and so forth, which bearer of ancient wisdom would come out on top?

Fabricio Werdum vs Josh Barnett
Alistair Overeem vs Alexey Oleynik
Brock Lesnar vs Junior Dos Santos
Andrei Arlovski vs Mark Hunt
Anderson Silva vs Shogun Rua
Lyoto Machida vs Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
Michael Bisping vs Vitor Belfort (2)
Rashad Evans vs Hector Lombard

 

[20falarVerdades]

Assuming prime version of each fighter, JDS would win, and he would probably face Silva in the final

 

[Squall10]

Minakov.

Heavy weight tournament without stipe? The current UFC champion????

 

[qw3rty]

With those guys in 2018 and under USADA? I'd say Werdum

 

[Megatronlee]

Brock and I’m not even trolling

 

[Sterling]

No stipe or dc?

 

[Soul On Ice]

Weird group
UFC can do better

Reem wins that tournament without much trouble

Prime, one of these 3 Fabricio Werdum ,Josh Barnett or Alexey Oleynik.

 

[Legendary]

Post USADA: Reem or Werdum.

Pre USADA? Reem all day, not even close.

Its sad he has such a terrible chin

It's supposed to be an old guy tournament with LHWs and MWs ala Bellator's, with JDS being the solo "young"(er) guy like Bader.

 

[Squintz]

Ahh.. I see. Might have to go with werdum or maybe even brock

 

[Vanillagorilla91]

Brock wins that easily assuming no usada

 

[Bill Laimbeer]

Minakov.

Most overrated fighter in these boards. Have you even watch his last few stinkfests?

 

[TheBrownRanger]

Pretty sure a "Bellator-style" tournament is the exact same as any other tournament.

 

[kill_bot]

how about this? ufc could make a sick tournament

stipe vs lesnar ----------------------------- cain vs Barnett

Ngannou vs jds --------------------------- blaydes vs fabricio

DC should be in

He's old and the LHW champion (like Bader)

But I guess having everyone picking DC wouldn't be much fun

 

[MMAfanJabroniJew]

JDS if he was in his prime.

 

[Ares Black]

No Ngannou, Blaydes or Lewis?
