Who would you send from USA, Canada, Brazil etc. for each weight class, some are obvious, some are a little harder to find. This is my US Olympic mma team.
FW- Urijah Faber
LW- BJ Penn
WW- Jon Fitch
MW- Dan Henderson
LHW- Rampage
HW- Frank Mir
Canada(only one I can really think of)
WW- GSP
Russia(obviously)
HW- Fedor
Feedback and thoughts anyone?

Wandy/Shogun would make for more exciting fights, but Lyoto would be most likely to win, IMO.

Randy was actually the first person that popped into my head, but Barnett may be better.

I think you would essentially have to send all BJJ guys since the Olympics would ruin MMA with 9841982984 rules.
That being said, I hope MMA is never an Olympics event.
