I don't have to be knowledgeable for you to be beneath me. I just have to have the tiniest sliver of knowledge to accomplish that. 1 brain cell will do. I have atleast 3.

but you're from Oklahoma!

Nice Bigfoot love, I also had him at #3. I will be picking him over Reem in that fight. What about you?

Same here. I think Bigfoot is underrated. Ive always been a fan of his. The guy moves exceptionally well for someone his size. In a matchup with Overeem, I think Bigfoot can stand with him, but also, I think Bigfoot's wrestling has improved over the years and is definitely good enough to put Overeem on the ground if he needs to do that. Personally, I picked Bigfoot from the start of the tournament to win the whole thing.

After he beat Fedor, I certainly thought he had as good a chance as any to win it all. I agree that Bigfoot can both stand with Reem and that he has the improved wrestling to take him down if he needs to. Underrated fighter, I think he will be a tough fight for anyone these days.

I'm gonna post the comparisonator here in case anyone wants to compare.

Ranking looks fair to me.

It has it's share of outliers I noticed. Like people have picked Aron Rosa to beat the likes of Fedor and Brock; Monson to beat Cormier; and my favorite Strueve picked to beat Cain, twice.

In spite of that the results have each guy listed at or within a few spots of where I'd currently have them save a couple.
