UFC Open Weight Tournament

[Koro_11]

Of course we know this will never happen, but hypothetically, if UFC was to host an open weight tournament, who would you have as the competitors? And who do you think wins it all?

Obviously there is no need to look at anyone below MW, but at the same time I dont think it's as simply as picking just 16 of the biggest guys because it's been proven time and time again that a guy coming up from a lower weight class often does very well. That said, there are obviously limits, and as good as someone like Khabib or Holloway may be, they would not be able to compete with a HW or LHW.

Anyway, this would be my 16 competitors, essentially the 16 toughest men on earth, in no particular order...

Stipe Miocic

Daniel Cormier

Fabricio Werdum

Yoel Romero

Curtis Blaydes

Junior Dos Santos

Jon Jones

Alexey Oleinik

Robert Whittaker

Aleksander Gustafson

Alistair Overeem

Jacare Souza

Alexander Volkov

Luke Rockhold

Derrick Lewis

Paulo Costa

I'd settle for weight class tournaments from the UFC at this point.

Jones wins the tournament..

Too bad Hendo didn't still fight, he would fight anyone you listed.

I hope they have surprise tournaments where they do the selection the night before or something. Just have 8 guys and they draw the lotto of who matches up with who. They are all training but don't know the opponent.

remove Whittaker and Rockhold and put in Cirkunov and Reyes. actually a 32man bracket would be epic

Model 3 from the bottom is sexy.


EDIT**
Meant 2 not 3.

Add Oezdemir and Tuivasa to that list, and i guess the winner is determined by the matchups and if Jones gets caught by USADA or not...
