The fact is is that I have 3 strong people in Coleman, Murphy, and Faber. If Murphy is out then all I have is two but if I had Coenen still I would have that 3rd category still.

Those aren't your only strong fighters man... YOu've got Velasquez, Carwin & Torres too. The only place I'm seeing that you might be a little weak is at middleweight TBH. If you're worried about your female weight class, you can always pick up another woman, but if I were you, I'd try and find another MW too. Okami is good, but with Lima & Sakurai relatively unproven it'd be good to have a back up. Even still, you wouldn't be looking horrible going in if the GP started to day...

HW: Coleman (Back-Up: Carwin)
MW: Okami (Back-Up: Sakurai)
LW: Faber (Back-Up: Torres)
FW: Watanabe (Back-Up: Howe)
OW: Velasquez (Back-Up: Lima)

If you shored up your MW & FW in some capacity, it'd look better on paper, but you never know what will happen in the GP either.

Murphy is to much of a beast for any of the other FFs here.

She's gotten really good, really fast, no doubt, but everyone is beatable dude; including Anderson, who's the best fighter in the league. Murphy's going to run into someone she has difficulty with eventually, all the top fighters here do. (ie. Anderson/Coleman, Cruz/Benson(usually), Benson/Sanchez, Cyborg/Carano, etc.) Murphy will find her kryptonite too, eventually. I mean, if you go strictly by numbers & overall, Rousey & D'Alelio should be mopping the floor with everyone in the women's division, and the fact is that they don't, and only have one title win between the two of them. So just count your blessings that Murphy's as good as she is right now, but I'd caution you not to expect her to win every fight because, when she does lose, the disappointment is going to be bigger than it probably should be... and I'm speaking from experience here.

Carwin and Torres are not good at all.

That's not true at all. They need some work, yes... but they're not horrible.

Carwin is. His win against Cro Cop was shocking to everybody here.

To a point yes, but Cro Cop has great difficulty with MANY ground fighters, especially when he doesn't kick. (See Brock Lesnar)

[Deleted]

Lesnar is better than Carwin.

Not the point.

[Deleted]

Apart of the point.

[xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club]

Not at all. But it appears you're just going to argue everything here instead of listen, so I'm exiting stage left... Have a nice day.

[Deleted]

You were supposed to exit stage right so now we're exiting the same way.
