Brock Lesner Challenge - A Wager

Someone should start an online petition/request to have a old ufc style tourny. Bracket fights, no gloves, no weight classes. I bet TONS of ufc fans (if not all) would be more than happy to pay 40 bucks to watch it.

btw, ill put 2.50 up, is that good enough? :p


I'd pay the money for that . . we all would. There is just one BIG problem with the above idea.


The UFC wants to make money now. Making money means having fights in arenas all across the country, not just casino's & such. No boxing/athletic commision would sanction events they think are "barbaric" . . the UFC has had a tough enough time with that stigma already.
 
yup, must be sanctioned

in UFC III Emmanual Yarborough (sp?) recieved brain damage

although the old tourney's were pure they lacked marketability or the support of athletic commisions
 
ok ok, they can wear gloves. :) I think that wouldbe a HUGE money maker for UFC.. just gotta find the right place and have the commission go along with it...


If they every did do something like that, they should give Lesner a bye :p

alright here's your bracket

Lesner is in like you said (if you hate Lesner sub in Cro Cop or G Gonzalez

No rounds

No time limit

Fought under UFC rules with gloves

I have to admit I'd buy it, the possibilites are endless

Lesner V Tito
Lidell V Couture 4
Tito V Chuck 3
St Pierre Vs Anderson Silva

I'd pay for anyo of those by themsevles

tito vs ortiz 3?!?! my money is on tito :p

Need to add Cro Cop, Franklin, Diego, and anyone else you see fit.

I bet people there have talked about it, because im sure they have a group of people who generate ideas for matches and such (marketing dept). The no rounds idea is great, ufc rules you gotta have so someone doesnt die, and no weight classes is key.

btw, lesner sucks!! :D
 
my bad I ment Lidell

I thought about more small guys but Gracie was the smallest guy to win those older tourney's and I think he was at 180ish then, so the small guys I included seemed the right amount.

But why add Diego when you can have Koscheck, why add Franklin when you could have Silva, and why add Cro Cop when you could have G Gonzales?

we could go back and forth all day with who to add. Still, the bracket as drawn would be very watchable

Dont forget.

When Gracie fought, nobody (including the announcers) had any idea what he was doing . . except that it worked.

Nowadays, Fighters are well rounded and weight classes are much more important.
 
oh yeah watching the announcers describe Gracie in UFC one was like getting Nun's to give running commentary on a porn movie
