Maybe we do not want to copy Bloody Elbow but I figured its interesting so if there readers can vote why can't our junkies do one so I came up with a 16 man field much like Elbows but with some names omitted and some added in and we are going to do it tourney style however instead of 64 we are going to narrow this list to 16..after I post the 16 if theres any real strong objections to any of the 16 individuals let me know and we will substitute and no 2 or 3 people do not count.
Maybe we can start this later this afternoon.
The 1st 15 I have is in no particular order is
BJ Penn
Nick Diaz
Big Nog
Fedor
Fabricio Werdum
Frank Mir
Kaz Sakuraba
Royce Gracie
Shinya Aoki
Jake Shields
Demian Maia
Jacare Souza
Rhonda Rousey
Joe Lauzon
Uriah Faber
So please respond to this post and whoever gets the most votes by having their name said will be #16, are we down?

Lol at Jake Shields being on that list.
Bit biased but: Fedor, Penn and Sakuraba for me.

Shinya Aoki, any other answers are invalid.

Without question, once Aoki gets a hold of you it's only a matter of time. It's like slowly tightening vice.

No offense to Royce at all, but Rickson was better, even Royce admitted it himself.

Palhares should be on the list, as should Dean Lister and Jeremy Horn. IMO

And, as much as I hate him, Matt Hughes should have consideration.
