    Overeem would have a very good chance vs Lesnar. But I wouldnt like to put any money on the prediction.

    Edit: Jake Sheilds would get so badly ****ed up vs Anderson it wouldnt be funny.

    Good point but i would still like to see a ufc open weight tournament maybe from 155 to 205. BJ has fought machida before and didn't get badly beat.

    I hate the idea of open weight in MMA , for me it goes back to the dark old days of Bobb Sapp and co , it stinks , its desperate , its something Strikeforce and the likes may look at as it appeals to the casual fan and shows a different angle from the UFC which must be seen as the goal (thats not a dig at SF BTW) , but for me if you have enough competetive fighters in each weight class , which in the UFC is most certainly the case thats the way it should stay !!!!!!
