This probably wont happen, but if it did. What fighters would be the best judges??
My choices:
Randy------ for obvious reasons
GSP -- idk i guess hes too easy too trust (matt hughes was another choice but gsp seems to be the easier pick)
Fedor -- he is very humble like randy and i think would be a great choice
experience matters
I was thinking of putting a great striker, bjj specialist and a great wrestler as judges but decided that trustworthy fighters would do best
the best fighters in the world are always good choices and i tried going for simple honest veterans
This has been on my mind for a while, but was waiting for the judges to screw up another fight, but havent lately at least
i havent heard about it.
forgot to ask.. .
What mma fighters would fit best as judges???

You'll never get the big stars to do it, the athletic commission pay for a judge is a joke to them (probably what, a grand or two at most), it would not be worth their time. Some of the lower- and mid-level guys may go for it, and in fact that's happening already. I think I heard Ricardo Almeida's name announced as a judge before a fight recently, but I don't remember the venue.

I didn't think there was ever a chance of it happening, but its an awesome way to fix the judging problem, i just wanted to know who would be voted from the fans

i don't think judges should be fighters at all............i think it would create too much bias.
