So if you work back, it works out this could be the final of a GP.
I know it's obviously not a real tournament, but from someone who loves tournaments i thought this was quite cool.
Well spotted. The final is a fight that couldn't be more exciting.

Feel like most high level tournaments or GP's back in the day were always missing at least 1 important/relevant fighter due to prior engagements or injury or whatever. At the very least he was incredibly experienced fighting a then 9-0 fighter.Mizugaki wasn't one of the top 8 bantamweights but close enough. Interesting find
Maybe if you replaced that fight with Cody-Almeida
*and that won their previous two fights.You can literally do this with any fight that with fighters that had no rematches in their previous 2 fights.
The whole point of a tournament is the ability to predict future matchups.

Its close, but your missing out the fact that Dominic Cruz beat TJ. So bascially TJ would have been knocked out of the tournie.
Where is he missing? Cruz vs. TJ happened before that hypothetical 8-man tourney started
UFC should hire people like you. an official tournament would be more fun for the fans

But yeah this is really nothing special. This retroactive bracketing can be done to any one of the titles that is not a WME shitshow.
You're right in fact - I suppose it shouldn't be a surprise that the category that I mentioned of "WME shitshow" turns out to include all but one of the divisions. I wonder whether you would have found more eligible titles a couple of years ago. Probably.It's a lot harder for these unofficial tournaments to happen than you think - as far as i'm aware this is the only one (maybe Flyweight too). I actually started to do one for a lightweight GP which Ferguson won involving Kevin Lee, Mike Chiesa, Rafael Dos Anjos, Francisco Trinaldo etc. But Dos Anjos Messed it up - he fought Ferguson (in what would have been the semi's) after getting KO'd by Alvarez.
Maybe there would be a Flyweight one if you work back with DJ, Borg, Reis, Formiga etc, but it wouldn't have the same name power as this BW one - this BW is stacked.
Even in your make believe tournament, how can a title fight be the opening round?
