On the flipside, with a division that is thin and wins/losses apparently doesn't matter that much, a HW Tourney might be fun (..or is there still a negative public perception from the Strikeforce one?)
I'd seed it this way:
HW
JDS vs
Miocic (Only bc they are supposed to fight)
Overeem (if he beats Rothwell) vs
Barnett (Can you believe they've never fought each other)
Bigfoot/Arlovski winner vs
Werdum (or loser of him/Cain)
Browne vs
Hunt/Nelson winner (Browne hasn't fought either)

There's negative connotations about tournies, but I don't think this thread is concerned with that.
Also, only problem I have with yours... is the semis glaringly obvious?

You can almost artificially create tournaments sometimes with bouts that have occurred and will occur in the future. Right now for an 8 man WW tourney you have:
Stun Gun v. Tyron Woodley
Rory v. Tarec
Gunnar def Zac Cummings
Lombard def Shields

I would do it at pointless thread weight.
Fighters like "Mike Believe" and "Ithawt Bellator" could face off with heavy hitters like "Would'nt it be cool if" , "Redundant Jackson" and O.M.G.

I'd love a fresh faces bantamweight tournament for some new contenders. Guys who haven't really been near the top, but could be with three wins.
Chris Holdsworth vsSergio Pettis
Rob Font vs Cody Gibson
Aljamain Sterling vs Russell Doane
Chris Beal vs Johnny Eduardo
Fun guys to watch, would help them get some exposure.
EDIT: Put into match up form. All the cool kids were doing it.

Bantamweight:
Flyweight Champion, Demetrious Johnson VS Dominick Cruz
5-Round Main Event Rematch
Urijah Faber VS Frankie Edgar
Let me point out that I am not fond of the idea of Frankie Edgar dropping down to 135. I am simply thinking that if the UFC offered Frankie a title opportunity at 135, and the man he has to get past for that title shot is as big a name as Urijah Faber, Frankie would probably take it.
Raphael Assuncao VS Renan Barao
Takeya Mizugaki VS Michael McDonald

Agreed! The top 6 you got there are all killers. Really like Font think he has a bright future!

Yeah, Beal was kind of the out of option pick and Eduardo is a bit on the old side. Was hard to come up with 8.
And yeah, I had Font beating Roop as soon as the match was announced. He was a big name on the local circuit around me.

As much as I would love a tournament, this is like the 1000th thread related to hypothetical tournament/GP'S. Dana hates them, and the Flyweight 4 man tournament is probably the closest we'll ever get to one.
