If UFC had an open weight tourney......

Chuck Liddell
Rich Franklin
Tim Sylvia
Andrei Arlovski
Matt Hughes
Forrest Grifin
Georges St. Pierre
Tito Ortiz

Maybe sub GSP for Brandon Vera

MAt Huches has a great shot of winnit it all. But I'll go with Chuck. The height different of Hughes and Silva wouldbe crazy, but Mat would still take him down and pummel him.

It'd be some great fights, too bad it'll never happen.

i dont know if you realize that GSP and Hughes fight at welterweight even though they both walk around at about 190 they wouldnt enter an OWGP against heavyweights lol

Replace Griffin and Hughes with Monson, Babalu, or Vera.

hughes wouldnt have to enter at 170....and he has said that he could have competed against bigger guys back when they were hyping his fight with gracie...

one of the bigger guys like sylvia, arlovski or somone like that would win i think..

I would rather a WW tourney... think of the kickass talent there: Hughes, GSP, BJ, Karo, Diego (ugh, I just said that?), Fitch, Riggs, Neer, Alves, Fisher, Diaz, and throw in some dark horses like Koscheck, Fickett, and Thompson.

But for open weight:

Silvia, Arlovski
Liddell, Ortiz
Franklin, A. Silva
GSP, Hughes

Two bad you pretty much tie up all your belt holders.
