    If these potential match ups were competing for your PPV cash, who would you shell out for

    A four man tournament LHW between

    A The old guard
    Randy
    Chuck
    Tito
    Hendo

    B The Next Generation
    Shogun
    Machida
    Evans
    Lil Nog

    C The new breed
    Jones
    Bader
    Davis
    Gufstafsson

    Which series of fights would be more entertaining? If you could only pick one set to watch which ones would it be?

    The old guard would be my choice, a potential match up b/t Hendo and Chuck would be epic.

    I agree, doubt they would ever fight though. Id go for B myself, just because Shogun v Machid 3 has the potential to be the mosty violent display of skillls

    Easily B, for Shogun-Lil Nog 2 alone.

    Well to be fair you could argue that the guys in class A are all 1 dimensional in their own ways, funnily enough you'd probably consider their fights more entertaining.

    Is it an attitude or a skills thing...

    For me it's B....

    A and C are to clear IMO....A Hendo now would prolly take the cake....and C Jones would prolly destroy anyone...


    So B for the best match up !

    I wouldnt wanna see much of the old guard because aside from Hendo we have seen those guys fight so often that being Tito, Chuck and Randy. I wouldnt care too much for the C divison because IMO Jones easily beats all 3. Now Shogun, Machida, Little Nog, Rashad id love to see it. Wouldnt mind a 3rd Shogun-Machida fight at all, ive always wanted a Lil Nog and Shogun rematch, Shogun and Rashad where supposed to fight a bunch of times and I think Lil Nog vs Rashad but especially Machida would be one hell of an interesting fight.

    These "generations" are all screwed up.

    It should be:
    Shogun
    Machida
    Jones
    Gustaffson

    (Davis and Bader aren't on the level of those 4) Evans is right below, but I believe loses to all 4.



    But I'll choose C from the choices given because it has the most appealing matchup Jones vs Gust

    A generation is based on when they debuted, not how good they are.

    Oh I was thinking, when they were the top fighters...not debuted. I was wrong.

    For all we know though, Bader may be gone in a year or two, like Vera is. But Shogun and Machida still top 5 fighters. How then, would Bader be a generation after them?

    It's gotta be B.

    Many great matchups there. I don't really care much about A, we've already seen those guys fight so many times, and all of them have deteriorated more or less.

    C would also be good, it's just that Jones would beat the living **** out of everyone, so we would simply look for the #2.
