Abu Dhabi announces 8 man Open Weight GP

The talent pool probably won't be too thick (Kharitonov already committed apparenly), but who doesn't love a GP? $270K on the line.

Mousasi needs to enter after he fights Mo and Hendo.

It's May 14th... If and a big IF he doesn't suffer damage against Mo he could do it and be healed up in time to fight Hendo later this summer. I have a feeling Kharitonov might be the biggest name on the roster...

What other big names could be on it?

Barnett? Monson? Sylvia? Mighty Mo?

why not Coleman? Lucio Linhares? Guys cut by the UFC still looking to fight.

With Monson and Barnett doing that grapplers tourney in so-cal for chump change, I could definitely see them hitting something like this. Coleman and Linhares could be possibilities as well. Would Overeem or Rizzo go near it? Minowa, Arona... Any others?...

Arona is a good choice.

Maybe Manhoef if he is healthy.

Filho, Hunt, Sakuraba, Santiago, and Buentello are names to consider.
