MFX p4p Greatest of all time [Champion Crowned Inside!]

[Cory]

Much like what Fnord is doing to the success of the greatest wrestlers of 'x' era, I figured why don't we truly find who the greatest is, all time, according to the MFX universe.

So, to keep it simple we're going to use the current 8 weight classes in the UFC. BUT because the Flyweight division is so new, I will be splitting the Flyweight division with Females. 8 flyweight, 8 females. Each weight division will have a mini-tournament within, to crowd the top fighter from each class. Then once we have the single top fighter from each weight class, THEN well have the p4p greatest bracket. EVERYONE IS ASSUMED TO BE IN THEIR PRIME

Pairings will be made via. www.random.org, voting threads will be open 12-24hrs depending on my schedule.

Simple enough?

Now continuing to keep it simple, for the 16 fighters in each weight class I will use Fight Matrix.com to pool the names from. Im not going to use the top 16 in every order, because I do want to mix in fan favorites / legends from a different era. Also some fighters have fought in different weight classes so we will use their most dominate division. Here is the pool (fighters aren't necessarily pre-ranked in the pool):

[Duckman]

Me too!  Great idea Cory.  I'll do some hyping of this on the various MFX social media places when I get home from work tonight.

[Flins.]

This should be interesting. The guys in their prime now have the slight advantage of us not seeing their downfall, should be fun seeing how some of the oldies stack up.

The lack of Kazushi Sakuraba is saddening.

[J-Reb]

Royce Gracie #9?  He's got to be in the top-3, yes?

[Fnord]

Fuck Ronda Rousey.

[Tritch]

Royce Gracie #9?  He's got to be in the top-3, yes?

(fighters aren't necessarily pre-ranked in the pool)

[J-Reb]

Doh.  Thanks, Tritch.

[Duckman]

Problem with Sakuraba is finding a weight class for him.  He used to fight all over the scale!

[Cory]

Yeah, really tough to find a weight....you know what tho? According to his wiki he walked around at 190, so we'll toss him into the middleweight bracket, peace out Dave Menee

[Cory]

Rousey moves on, 9-1. About as one sided as their fights have been.

[Fnord]

That was quick! 12 hours only for voting?
