I would just make it an 8 man tournament since Rampage, Forrest, Liddell, Anderson, Wanderlei, Jardine, and Shogun would be the only guys who could win it

ill take machida over bonnar
rampage vs vera is tough because rampage likes to stand but it vulnerable to tai fighters which vera tends to favor a lot. i pick vera in a close rd.3 tko
liddell over tiago simply due to liddells experience
anderson over soko ( if machida can make him look bad, imagine anderson...)
griffin over franklin simply because hes the champ and rich never was able to make it as a lheavy back in the day
shogun will tool hamill although i do like how hamills improving with each fight
hendo vs jardine is interesting but i think jardine would take this. he does very well against ANYONE who doesnt push the pace and is the aggressor..
wanderlei's aggressive kill or be killed style easily destroys shad as much as i hate to say it being a shad fan, i actually like rashad against chuck but not wandi...

I don't think Anderson and Franklin should be in this. Neither are 205'ers, they both just took a 205 match recently.

Also, I dount Shogun and Wand would be in the same bracket.
