This needs to be settled....come on!!!!!!! Put together a special show for the first round. You could have done it this month when there's nothing going on in MMA as far as PPVs go. Some of us actually like the smaller weight classes. Give us a champ!

Edwards-Ludwig-Uno-Penn-Sudo-Thomas maybe even throw in Javier Vasquez

A lw tournament would be awesome, they need a champ and this would be sweet. Unless of course the final fight was a draw.

Yves Edwards
Din Thomas
Caul Uno
BJ Penn
Genki Sudo
Vitor Ribeiro
Duane Ludwig - is scheduled to fight for UCC again soon
Hermes Franca


Would put Vazquez in there but he won't be ready to fight for a while.

Sudo OWNS ALL

Vasquez would beat'em with heart(and of course skill)but HEART. The man is simply awesome.

this would be the best but unfortunately you could only put either thomas or franca

in the off chance they would meet in the finals.

i think a tournie like this could rival the GP

and why is it that Tanner and myself are the only one's recognizing the ATT members?

A healthy Vazquez could beat all those guys.

07-01-2003, 12:16 PM
if that is so why has Vazquez been in KOTC for so long?

lightweight
07-01-2003, 12:42 PM
Because it seems the UFC couldn't give two ****s about the LW division sometimes. If Vazquez was a lhw or hw he probably would have fought there by now.

Curly Howard
07-01-2003, 06:42 PM
Vazquez has talent and heart. Anyone that will not quit after tearing an ACL in the cage has heart and desire. He also has skill. He can G&P the **** out of you or use BJJ to tap ya. Yeah I'm nut hugging but after his last fight the kid has all my respect.

HAHAHHAHAHA you guys dont know ****....Gomi would beat everyone hands down...i cant belive u didnt mention the best lw...jeez

GOMIIIIIIIIII *****ES #1..NO TEEEEEEEST!

lightweight
07-01-2003, 07:47 PM
He's number 1 in my books too, but the fighters mentioned were guys accessible to the UFC, they're either UFC or KOTC affiliated fighters. In a perfect world Gomi would be in it.

Tanner Rhoden
07-01-2003, 07:47 PM
Big-G is absolutely correct. I totally forgot about Gomi. How the **** does eveybody except one person on a thread forget about the #1 ranked fighter in the world in that weight class? I'man idiot. Yes, Gomi is the ****!

Ben, Javier was supposed to be Hermes Franca's original opponent for UFC Miami. He tore his ACL in a warm up KOTC fight. He'll be right back in the mix of things when he's healthy.

Ok then, for a straight out dream tournament:

Gomi vs Thomas
Mishima vs Ludwig
Vazquez vs Ribeiro
Franca vs Pulver

Penn vs Sudo alternate match.

Curly Howard
07-01-2003, 10:10 PM
I didn't put Gomi or Masato because getting them to actually fight in the UFC is going to be hard. I know Gomi has talked about fighting Penn but his schedule won't allow it now.

I mentioned him cause he beat both Ludwig and Sudo. I didn't get him mixed up with anyone. we were talking about the top LWs in the world.

I would have to call Bj Penn out as the tounament winner. I think he would be a great tounie fighter

Why have Penn and Sudo as an altenate match but leave Pulver, Mishima or Franca in? I don't understand? Explain your thoughts on this, lightweight.

lightweight
07-02-2003, 10:59 AM
I guess it's personal picks.

Pulver-I still regard him as a top guy, and would want to see if he can prove himself in the tournament.

Mishima-in his last 10 fight his only loss was to Gomi(#1), and he's a strong finisher.

Franca-undefeated and would want to see what he could do.

MIshima is good...look at his record. Not only at the w/l but at the the way he wins.

Yep, submission wins galore on his record.

Mishima isvery good...........I just don't think he can hang with the top guys in the world. Gomi defeated him pretty easily. Guess I just haven't seen enough of him.

I still can't believe I forgot about Gomi when I was making my fantasy tournament. The ****ing guy is ranked #1 in the world. That would be like making a fantasy heavyweight tournament and forgetting to have Fedor or Minotauro in it.
