The Ultimate UFC Tourney

[Guest tank_abbott]

Ok Let's say March 1st 2001 UFC put on a PPV Featuring every single star of the Past and Present in a massive Tourney... Who Would Win?

 

Tank Abbott

Dan Severn

Ken Shamrock

Mark Coleman

Kimo

Gary Goodridge

Don Frye

Frank Shamrock

Royce Gracie

Oleg Tartarnov

Tito Orzwitz

Mark Kerr

Pat Smith

Paul Varleans

2 others you feel deserve these spots(???)

 

16 men 4 matches / 15 min rounds Who would win?

[Guest TheLostGracie]

I would personally love to see the semifinals be Royce Gracie vs Ken Shamrock & Tito Ortiz vs. Dan Severn, with Ortiz & Gracie locking up in the finals.  For this to work though, all men would have to be the fighters they are (were) in their prime

[Guest tank_abbott]

The idea is that they are all at their current ages...

[Guest Hardwire]

Coleman or Royce. Tito will get eaten alive by the gigantic wrestlers like Kerr, Severn, and Coleman. Miletich will get squashed. Tank will get the crap kicked out of him. Valerans would get murdered by any of these guys, and goodrdge will probably get G&P.

[Guest razazteca]

could I add some Pride FC:

 

Renzp Gracie

Kazushi Sakuraba

Igor Vovchanchyn vs Tank Abbot

Vanderiel Silvia

Guy Mezger

 

a cross promotion Super Grand Prix would make a great PPV in USA!!!!!!!!!!!

Coleman or Royce. Tito will get eaten alive by the gigantic wrestlers like Kerr, Severn, and Coleman. Miletich will get squashed. Tank will get the crap kicked out of him. Valerans would get murdered by any of these guys, and goodrdge will probably get G&P.

Tito is just about the same size as Kerr and Coleman, so he wouldn't get "eaten alive" like you said.

 

BTW, Tito would be my pick to win the whole tournament.

[Guest Tomato Can]

Coleman and Kerr would both have 30-40 pounds on Tito.  Tito's whole game is his wrestling ability and power.  To his credit, he uses them both with great effect, and is rightfully the #1 LHW in the world, but Coleman and Kerr are way too big and would eat him alive.  I'd give the tournament to Coleman.  Royce is my sentimental pick but I think the guys in this field are past the point talent-wise where Royce could overcome the weight advantage as easily as he did in the early UFCs.

[Guest Hit Squad]

Frank Shamrock, most of the guys there wouldn't last because of age.

[Guest Army Eye]

Coleman would be my pick to win too.  But, a lot of it would depend on the pairings.  If a certain fighter is exhausted by a long match, his chances to win will be greatly diminished (Sakuraba in the Pride Grand Prix is a great example).

 

I LOVE tourneys though and I want to see more of them.  I am really excited for the Grand Prix this year.

[Guest NineSpiral]

my pick? Fred Ettish, hands down.

[Guest Army Eye]

heh.. a tourney of all the famous losers in UFC would be cool too.  Just so one of them could finally win something.  

 

I'd put in Ettish, Matua, Joe Son, Herrera (my all time favorite loss, this is the guy who got crucifixed instantly and took about 10+ sickening elbows to the head), who else lost spectacularly?
