Pride MW Tourney: The Ideal Lineup

Underground
1

The best would be Pride versus UFC with "seedings" like basketball where 1 versus 8 and so forth. Here's some reasonable seedings and the remarkable first round that would follow:

UFC:

  1. Randy
  2. Chuck
  3. Tito
  4. Belfort
  5. Babalu
  6. Horn (great at 205 and already beat Liddell)
  7. Shamrock (healthy)
  8. Freeman

PRIDE:

  1. Silva
  2. Rampage
  3. Arona
  4. Rogerio
  5. Sak (beaten only by Silva other than injury)Rogerio
  6. Machida (KO'd Franklin)
  7. Hendo (can fight at 205 with the best)
  8. Kondo

First round:

Silva vs. Freeman

Rampage vs. Shamrock

Arona vs. Horn

Rogerio vs. Babalu

Sak vs. Belfort

Machida vs. Tito

Hendo vs. Chuck

Kondo vs. Couture

WOW!!!!!!

2

Lyoto Machida doesnt fight for Pride,and it would probably be pretty hard to get him to considering he is with Inoki,who is on his own agenda.

3

"Lyoto Machida doesnt fight for Pride"

I know, I threw him in because I feel he's close to top 10 and it was entitled "ideal". Overeem would be the likely replacement in the real world.

4

Lyoto is actually a heavyweight - 225 lbs.

5

good matchups.

6

Does Lyoto even fight, period? He fought Greco after Franklin and that was the last I heard of him.

7

I had an idea like 4 UFC guys vs. 4 pride guys

My fantasy tourney would be

From Pride

1. Wanderlei Silva

2. Rampage

3. Arona
4. Sak

From UFC
1. Randy
2. Chuck
3. Belfort
4. Tito

first round would look like
Silva vs Tito
Rampage vs Belfort
Arona vs Chuck
Sak vs Randy

8

replace saku w/ kondo and it would be good.
