What's the point of an open weight GP if 90% of the guy are over 230lbs.
I always thought it would work the other way round with 75% of the guys being under 205lbs so that there is actually a chance that the lighter guys get a chance to actyally progress. Can you imagine if gomi is matched against Mark Hunt or against James Thompson.
Why not call it the second heavyweight GP and be done with it, or a mixed heavyweight and light heavyweight GP. Then do the same with welterweights and lightweights. That way it is at least even.

Hunt,
Silva,
Cro Cop,
Werdrum,
Coleman,
Barnett,
Arona,
Overeem,
Henderson,
Thompson,
Yoshida,
Sakuraba,
TK,
Minowa.
Gomi and Minowa are going to get crushed despite their obvious talents. We all saw what happened to hendo when he fought big nog.
