Thoughts, anyone I left out? any seeds you would change? Results? What kind of chance would you give it to not end up 1 vs 2 at the end?

Gomi's not even top 16?

mwpuck08 · 06-06-2009, 06:21 PM

very good thought, totally overlooked him, where would you seed him?

mwpuck08 · 06-06-2009, 06:38 PM

what about adding like Faber or Brown or Fabiano to this Grand Prix

Billdoplata · 06-06-2009, 07:01 PM

i think tyson/diego should be higher
add gomi

mwpuck08 · 06-06-2009, 07:04 PM

add gomi where though?

DeanFilkins · 06-06-2009, 07:13 PM

Gomi is still top 12 for sure.

Hellboy takes this one

mwpuck08 · 06-06-2009, 07:16 PM

I think Hansen v Penn would be a great fight

No way its 1 vs 2 aoki would lsoe to sherk, florian, prolly thompson, an alvarez with a good gameplan, even griffin had a great shot at beating him, aoki is SOO overrated

Tyson Griffin at #15 is the Coppin State to Shinya Aoki's South Carolina at #2. (NCAA basketball reference from the 1997 upset) I think Griffin's power game could neutralize Aoki.. but it'd be a fun matchup.
