    I doubt that. In case of 8 fighters and a knock-out format I cannot see any of the big guns willing to commit. In the event of a loss in the first fight theyd be sidelined for the next two-three years with no chance of redemption. No way.

    not really, because lets say the top 8 LHW have a tournament, straight away 4 of them are out and they can fight each other, the next round they are down to only 2 and then the final, it would actually be quicker as its only 3 fights. you could do it in a calendar year

    I like the fact that you have the 6 best fighters competing against the others, the problem is that it ties the 6 best fighters in the division up, which means that rising stars can't get the big fights, i think that has been the case with Bute..
    but
    1)everyone should have equal amounts of home and away fights (away means fighting in the other guy's country!)
    2) all judges/refs should be from neutral countries
    3) You can only drop out if you have a legit medical report, that shows that you're not able to compete
    4) The highest seeds gets homefield advantage in the semis, the final should be in Vegas

    Ok. You are right. I suppose it's possible.
