I think this is the best way honestly. It just proves overall who is more popular then who. Not just, who are your fav 5 fighters or so. IMO this will give us a better idea of who is liked overall.

It does? how do matchups prove that? one fighter could lose to one guy, but beat another guy. Listing your single favorite fighter, then tallying up the picks is the best indicator. I'll pass on this

The way he did the tourny IMO helps. He matches similar guys for the most part. I think overall it will give us some nice data on how people feel.

But shouldn't you include the most popular fighter of all-time?

Eh

I think the 1st round results will be interesting to see. I like how he did the tourny. The other question has been asked a million times. This makes it a little interesting IMO.

You would be the same way if your vagina was swollen from being ramrodded by God knows who for a dollar a man. LA is one of Cubes top hookers and he only gets 20% of his earnings. The guy has to get mad about something freak. Ease up on the Ninja's Place prostitute!

I still wish you would have included Cung!

Well when this tournament is over I'll ask for nominations for fighters that I didn't include and then we can do a poll. That way he could still get a shot at being the winner

01. Brock Lesnar vs Cain Velasquez-BROCK
02. Junior Dos Santos vs Alistair Overeem-REEM
03. Fedor Emelianenko vs Randy Couture-FEDOR
04. Urijah Faber vs Miguel Torres-TORRES
05. Mauricio Rua vs Lyoto Machida-TOSS UP
06. Rashad Evans vs Quinton Jackson-PAGE
07. Jon Jones vs Ryan Bader-JONES

01. Brock Lesnar vs Cain Velasquez - like both but i'll go with the lesser fighter

08. Forrest Griffin vs Rich Franklin - like both too much to pick against them

16. Frankie Edgar vs Jose Aldo - frankie is just an awesome lil guy and will always be an underdog

my bad, having mac issues. can someone delete my 2 posts above.

This is gonna turn out like the hottest chick nonsense. This format doesn't accurately depict popularity because the match ups selections are debatable. Best way to determine would be to use everybody's favorite fighter listed or just to list your top 3 favorites and add em up.

01. Brock Lesnar vs Cain Velasquez - Is there really anything to like about Brock in the real world?
02. Junior Dos Santos vs Alistair Overeem - tough call
03. Fedor Emelianenko vs Randy Couture - tough call again
04. Urijah Faber vs Miguel Torres - Torres is so much cooler than Faber.
05. Mauricio Rua vs Lyoto Machida - Machida?
06. Rashad Evans vs Quinton Jackson - What a mismatch
07. Jon Jones vs Ryan Bader -Close but Bones is starting to talk too much
08. Forrest Griffin vs Rich Franklin - zzzzzzz
09. Diego Sanchez vs Kenny Florian - This is why this format fails, neither of these guys belong here.
10. Vitor Belfort vs Dan Henderson - He is always the life of the BBQ
11. Wanderlei Silva vs Anderson Silva - What a twist!
12. GSP vs Thiago Alves - zzzzzz
13. Nick Diaz vs Carlos Condit - By default
14. Gilbert Melendez vs Eddie Alvarez - Have you heard Gil speak?
15. Matt Hughes vs BJ Penn - Hughes, no way!
16. Frankie Edgar vs Jose Aldo - why?

LA is 100% right. This might be a fun exercise but it makes no sense in determining actual popularity.

I like the tourney idea but I have to agree. We should do it the right way or just astablish that this is just for fun and doesn't actually determine the most popular fighter of the board.

Eh, well it's nice for a change. My favorite fighters are listed to the left everytime I post.

How will it not determine the most popular? The 1 guy that ends up winning it will do so because he was more liked in every matchup he was involved in.
