I think Jake has a great idea.
I don't know if Dana is going to open up on tournaments or not.
He also makes a classy remark about the interim title proposal.

Title should be "Jake Shields supports only way in hell he will ever sniff a title shot again" or "Shields hasn't legitimately won a UFC fight"
Condit, Koscheck, Jake(already did) Mcdonald and Diaz would whoop up on him.
I wish he'd move to 185, Shields and Weidman would be great.

I honestly don't see how that fight was a robbery. I've rewatched it four or five times and have never scored a Kampmann win.

Same, even though it was a pretty close fight that doesn't mean it isn't a legitimate win.

Tournaments are great for the fans that need something to talk about and the UFC already has the TUF house which is just a tournament set up anyway, but tourneys can lead to some lousy matches. Joe Silva does a pretty good job picking the fights, why leave it up to chance?

No way was that a robbery. Kampmann could have/should have won but he decided to grapple with Jake Shields and it cost him. I'm not sure how you can argue he won that fight.

Why would we care what Shields thinks? He shouldnt be in the tourney anyway after losing 2 straight.
Fitch
Diaz
Condit
Ellenberger
Koscheck
Sanchez
MacDonald
Hendricks/Rumble/Kampmann/Alves(cant decide)
I wouldnt want to see Shields in it really. I mean, I guess he could be in it but I would rather see all these other guys and fresh faces without losing streaks
