What about Nate Diaz? He could easily choke out half that list!

Dear Dana White:
I am a fan. I want to see a tournament. I will buy the PPV and go to the event.
I’d love to see something like the pride GP. Its exciting and cool. It can be a different belt if you don’t want to crown your weight classes that way.
Thanks,
garth

i meant he needs to train with a Gi!!!! sorry i messed up…hhaah but even though a gi wont make you much better…but still im just saying…Clay Guida beat Aurelio but thats it he lost to thomas…and i dont think we will be seeing him for a while unless its between a thick ass piece of Glass….

Theres one person you forgot to mention….and that i feel should have been metioned over Guida….and thats Melvin Guillard…he lost to stevenson..but thats cause his grappling is garbage…he trains with the gi…he will be the shit..and i also feel he could be champion for sheer strength even though ….Sherk..beats everyone…hes just wayyy to strong..

This is exactly what the fans want. I’ve been crying this for months now. Even if they couldn’t do it all in one event they could split it into two. Semi’s then the finals.

Nice article, but you forget one salient point when you declare that only positives can come out of this – possibly a fighter going through and winning because of injuries to actual bout winners. I think that could do more harm than good – in a championship bout, if someone is injured then it’s just postponed, they don’t forfeit their right for a shot for the most part. Having said that, I would love to see a UFC tournament at any weight and the LW division is prime for one (even more so than LWH).

Good luck with a lightweight tournament, its a great idea but Dana has said in the past that he hates tournaments!

why have a tourny when you know who are the 2 best at LW division, not counting Sherk of course?
Let BJ beat Stevenson and get the title. Then when Sherk comes back, BJ can manhandle him and be the “only” LW champ.

I can’t agree with ya more Sam, I’ve been saying this for a long while now. Better start a petition and hand it over to Dana!
