What about a tourney?

Maybe we should contact people on twitter or where ever with the idea of a HW World Tournament, co-promotion between Dream, ProElite, and M-1. Fedor, Arlovski, Sylvia, Rogers, Rizzo, Ricco, Monson, Kharitonov, Ivanov, Eddie Sanchez, Duffee, Alexander E. Magomed Malikov, James Thompson, Warpath, Geronimo Dos Santos would all be good options to throw in. Anyone else you guys could think of, feel free to add to the list.

I sent this link to ProElite, Rich Chou, and Evgeni Kogan. Hopefully they will check it out. I would love for this to happen. Either 8 man or 16 man tourney. Maybe even KSW could throw some guys in. It would be great to have a real world tourney.

I can definitely vouch for that.

I'm sending this to every fighter on that list I can find as well. I want this to happen.

Great idea Kinosis!

Everyone feel free to contact anyone in charge of these MMA promotions, let's try to really get some movement behind this. Maybe we could see it kick off in the summer! A big 16 man true WORLD tournament made up of orgs all over the world would be so awesome.

Looks almost like a PRIDE tourney lineup. Jim York, Valentijn Overeem, Gilbert Yvel and Konstantin Gluhov are other interesting fighters even if they have lost some fights lately.

with K-1 WGP style match making where the fighters pick a ball n then choose who they fight.

Pudz would win this tourney, hands down. just ask

Seth Petruzelli?

^Sure, whoever they could get.

A tournament/GP like that would be amazing. I am a huge fan of tournaments and I believe they showcase who the true warriors are, especially if it's done overnight.

Have you heard anything from them?

^Unfortunately no. I haven't had a response from anyone I messaged.

Still nothing

Kinosis, that's an awesome idea, I love the names you picked

I love tournaments as much as the next guy
but I don't see how a co-promotion between several different organizations can go off without any problems

That's a great idea Kinosis. A co-promoted tournament like this would be so bad ass.

Below are some suggestions:

Tyler East (KOTC Champion) vs. Damian Grabowski (Bellator)
Guram Gugenishvili (M-1 Global Champion) vs. Thiago Santos (Bellator)
Cole Konrad (Bellator Champion) vs. Magomed Malikov (M-1 Global)
Sergei Kharitonov (DREAM) vs. Mike Hayes (CWFC)

Eric Prindle (Bellator) vs. Alexander Volkov (M-1 Global)
Brett Rogers (DREAM) vs. Geronimo dos Santos
Levan Razmadze (DEEP Champion) vs. Tim Sylvia
Andrei Arlovski (ProElite) vs. Cristiano Kaminishi (HEAT Champion)

Winner fights Fedor Emelianenko to determine the best heavyweight in the world outside of Zuffa.

^Yeah I think it would be fantastic and tournaments seem to really get people excited. Perhaps some of you can message people on twitter or however you can and get something going. I didn't have much luck, but the more voices calling for it, the more likely it will come to fruition.

love it. Wish it would happen.

I will send messages about this. It is a great idea.

Great lineup. The winner should get an international mma title, something like WAMMA.

Absolutely. That is definitely what the sport needs, a global MMA champion (outside of Zuffa since they will refuse to participate).
