If UFC held a Bellator-style "heavyweight" tournament who would win?

[Fight Professor]

Heavy weight tournament without stipe? The current UFC champion????

In Bellator a tourney winner usually faces the champ.

All those HWs gonna be 50 years old at the end of the tournament.

They would then be Alien-level athletes!

 

[ToroSalvaje]

Why not a ''lightweight tournament'' with 155 and 145? Much better by far:
Khabib - Max
Ortega - Tony
Edgar - Conor
Aldo - Lee
Poirer - Alvarez
Zabit - Barboza
Cub - Gaethje

Fedor

 

[JPhenomenal]

Cormier.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Just hope it isn't a three year tournament like Strikeforce… But with heavyweights and injuries... go with an alternate.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Probably Werdum

 

[g*r*b]

Whoever is named the alternate 4 months down the line.

Hendricks vs Rashad for alternate lol

 

[Ruthless_swag]

Assuming prime version of each fighter, JDS would win, and he would probably face Silva in the final

primes? would be jds vs werdum.

Pretty sure a "Bellator-style" tournament is the exact same as any other tournament.

No. Its not. Bellators HW tournament is a loope hole tournament wher ww, lhw and hw gets to fight each other. Much more compelling than a normal style HW tournament where only hws fight each other imo.

And don't forget them all being around 40 years old except for Bader.
