    Rogan: Kennys leg kicks and Jiu Jitsu black belt could be key in this fight.

    Kenny........

    Mike: Joe Kenny looks confident in there.

    I'd only want to see the best of the best so at present I'm talking...

    ...Penn, GSP, Silva, Machida and Lesnar. I would also include the top 2 contenders of each weight class. Throw in Nog, Mir, Rua, Evans, Belfort, Marquadt, Alves, Koscheck, Edgar and Maynard.

    That would be fun.

    1 15minute round! :)

    So you would get to see Vitor Belfort/Anderson Silva/Marquart or hell even Carwin, Cain or Lesnar vs Florian/Edgar/BJ.

    I couldnt watch it it would be like blood sport, just a brutal domination.

    Ok Kenny remember, if he takes you down just control his posture and use your superior ground game on him.

    This could never happen, there are athletic commissions regulating MMA now and even if there weren't freak show fights suck.

    A good point!! Brock Lesnar/Shane Carwin versus someone like Frankie Edgar?? Did Pride actually have an "Open weight" tournament? I thought theirs was under 200lbs and over 200lbs! I remember their Heavyweight/middleweight Grand Prix's, they were very enjoyable. I suppose a case could be made for separate tournaments at the different weights were it not for the fact that the 155/170/185 divisions are ruled by such dominant champions! Given the current situation at heavyweight I would be in favour of a heavyweight tournament, that could prove very successful! And a 205 tournament would undoubtedly prove very competitive.

    Quick endings and they can move on to the next stage. I'm blood thirsty. This is why I love all combat sports and think football and formula 1 is for girls.
