i know the word epic gets tossed around a lot, but that's pretty epic

Here's a thought: Who would win in an open-weight tournament among your fighters.

Round One (3 rounds)...
GSP vs Benson Henderson = GSP UD
Silva vs Carmont = Silva rd2 ko
Condit vs Cerrone = Condit Ud
Mir vs Nelson = Mir Ud
jung vs Njokuani = Jung rd3 sub

Elimination Round (3 rounds)...
Jung vs Condit Condit UD

Semifinals (4 rounds)...
GSP vs Silva = too chicken to say
Mir vs Condit = Mir rd2 sub

Finals (5 rounds)...
GSP/Silva vs Mir = Mir rd 3 sub (GSP), Mir rd 2 sub after being rocked (Silva)

Winner: Frank Mir

I would set my top 8 seeds this way:

Anderson
GSP
Hendo
Shogun
Big Nog
BJ
Rich
Arlovski

1 Anderson vs 8 Arlovski
2 GSP vs 7 Rich Franklin
3 Hendo vs 6 BJ
4 Shogun vs 5 Big Nog

WOW! Don't hate on how i pick these matchups, as it's an utter guess

Anderson R2 KO
GSP SD
Hendo UD
Big Nog SD

1 Anderson vs 5 Big Nog
2 GSP vs 3 Hendo

Anderson R3 KO
Hendo SD

1 Anderson vs 3 Hendo

Anderson R2 SUB

Anderson wins....no shocker here!

love the twist Shaman!!!!

Main Event:
Forrest Griffin vs Thiago Silva = Silva 1st KO

Co-Main Event:
Jake Shields vs Nick Ring = Shields SD

Main Card:
James Head vs Andrew Craig = Craig SD
Steven Siler vs Diego Nunes = Nunes UD
Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Rob Sinclair = Khabib 2nd RNC
