Imagine if UFC and strikeforce got together to create a big push of MMA onto the world media/ fans. They agreed to do a cross competition tournament. I dont want any well it would not happen because UFC would not allow it. All I want from you guys is to make a prediction of how the tournament would go based on CURRENT rankings of fighters in each org, taking into account their current form and how it could progress over an 18 month period. Also if you could provide a summary of what you think it would do for the sport, fighters etc if this were to happen.

Here are the following top 8 in each org.
1. Cain Velasquez UFC
2. Junior Dos Santos UFC
3. Brock Lesnar UFC
4. Shane Carwin UFC
5. Frank Mir UFC
6. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira UFC
7. Mirko Cro Cop UFC
8. Roy Nelson UFC

1. Fabricio Werdum Strikeforce
2. Fedor Emelianenko Srikeforce
3. Alistair Overeem Strikeforce
4. Josh Barnett Strikeforce
5. Antonio Silva Strikeforce
6. Brett Rogers Strikeforce
7. Andrei Arlovski Strikeforce
8. S. Kharitonov strikeforce

Now I did the matchups via a random selection process picking numbers out of a hat. The only stipulation would be that each fighter could not face a fighter of his own organisation in the first round matchups. Also the 1st round sets up the format for the rest of tournament.

Fight No/Each fighters rank/Actual Matchup
1. 2 7 J. Dos Santos vs A. Arlovski
2. 1 5 C. Velasquez vs A. Silva
3. 7 3 Mirko Cro Cop Vs A. Overeem
4. 8 4 R. Nelson vs J. Barnett
5. 6 2 A. R. Nogueria vs F. Emelianenko
6. 3 8 B. Lesnar vs S. Kharitonov
7. 5 1 F. Mir vs F. Werdum
8. 4 6 S. Carwin vs B. Rogers

Quarter Finals-
1. Match 1 vs Match 3
2. Match 2 vs match 4
3. Match 5 vs Match 7
4. Match 6 vs Match 8

Semin Finals
Match 1 vs Match 3
