World MMA Classic

[A.E]

So what if there was such thing as a World MMA Classic? All major countries, compiling a roster of their best talent, bracket...the whole nine. What country would reign supreme? What country would pull off the big upset? Who would underachieve?

Of course it's easy to say that Brazil and the United States have the most loaded roster but the same can be said about the United States and Dominican Republic in baseball. Also keep in mind that this tournament would have to maintain weight class integrity.

So I was thinking that a bracket is formed with 10 countries (US, Canada, England, Brazil, Japan, Australia, France, Russia, Netherlands, Korea). Through a random draw, 2 countries are given 1st round byes and the rest are bracketed 3-10, lowest plays highest. First 2 rounds are best-of-5 fights while the semi-finals and finals are best of 7. Lower seed in each match-up has 'homefield' and gets to choose the first 2 bouts & the last of the series.

What you guys think???

The Netherlands would be the dark horse in this. Ubereem at HW and Mousasi at LHW could get them wins. Overeem is just so powerful that he has a chance to beat everyone at heavy and Mousasi could probably hold his own against the beast at 205. Then Manhoef at MW who's always a threat to knock someone the f/ck out.

No way in hell does Overeem get around the mandatory Olympic-style drug testing.

We would have GSP. Sounds fine by me.
