Shinya Aoki
Tatsuya Kawajiri
Eddie Alvarez
Caol Uno

are all left, how would you set up the match-ups.

I think i would prefer

Alvarez vs. Aoki
&
Kawajiri vs. Uno

this way we get a grudge match between Tatsuya and Uno, and a super LW match-up between Alvarez and Aoki.

I would like to see both alvarez and Aoki face the toughest competition possible in this tournament and hopefully come out on top. It would establish a #1 outside the ufc which i think is very important.

However Dream sets it up will be fine by me. So far they have put together some rediculous match ups.

actually i think that is how they are doing it, not a 100% on aoki vs uno, but pretty sure about kawajiri vs Alvarez, cant remember where i heard that right now though.

I would like to see Alvarez vs Aoki in the final. Doesn't matter to me who they fight before as long as they win.

Probably Uno vs. Kawajiri

Then the winner of that vs. Alvarez.

Then the same night, the winner of that vs. Aoki.

And Aoki gets a 1 minute of offense head start.

WAR DREAM!

I think they will put:

Uno Vs. Aoki
Alvarez vs. Kawajiri

Aoki vs. Alvarez in the final and then............... Alvarez wins the whole thing

I'd like to see Alvarez / Kawajiri, just so I am guaranteed to see that fight... I think it'll be lights out...

Uno / Aoki is another great fight, but stylistically might be a little less exciting... Crusher and Eddie just seem to match up so well together...

If Aoki makes it ,

Aoki v Alvarez - just for being a whiney a$$ b!tch against JZ and Alvarez's being over rated for out striking a couple of strikers.
Kawajiri v Uno - b/c they are left.

I like:

Aoki vs Uno and
Kawijiri vs Alvarez

Basically because I think the final will be/should be Aoki vs Kawijiri and I think these would be the best match ups to get there.
