Back in the beginning of the UFC, you had all of these big guys that had little MMA skill getting beat by little guys. Today, it is much different. The big guys have all of the skill that the little guys do. Because of this, an open weight tournament wouldn't be any good. The heavyweights/light heavys would win.......

Chuck, Rampage, A. Silva or Rashad. Cooter would do good too, but he can't beat Chuck.

I think BJ at 185 would be a handful for Arlovski at 230...

i think an open weight really says something about a fighter when a smaller guy is able to win over as bigger guy, that takes some mad skills  8)

Honestly, I think Bas Rutten at his peak would take them all.

That's my point.  Aside from a slew of booooring fights, Rashad hasn't done shit and he is considered one of the top five.  At least Andre managed to take the best from the redneck Sylivia...

He is young and learning. Can you imagine how good he will be in 40 years when he is Randys age?
