Joachim Hansen Josh Koscheck (I'm gonna go with him this time) Mark Coleman Bobby Lashley (It's his time) Gina Carano (1st round KO) Zoila Gurgel Megumi Fuji Miesha Tate Kazushi Sakabura Stephan Bonnar Demetrious Johnson Urijah Faber Rory MacDonald Frank Shamrock Kyra Gracie Naho Sugiyama Brett Solberg - 8/10. I'm much more excited for this one. There's some even fights in the title and MW finals matchups that could go either way, it has a Bobby Lashley fight which will see if Lash is legit or if he needs more work, and the Women's tournament has Bec Hyatt, which is always a plus. Bret Hart - Using the "Hitman" Rating System, 4/10  |

xx - The Underdog Regime, xx - Camp Cannon and everyone else... would anyone care or object if I swapped Hyatt and Tate around? I think that would make the card more interesting. It does violate our "random tournament matchups" structure though, so it's everyone's call. Also, you guys did not rate the card. RATE THE CARD out of 10 again, please.

It does violate our "random tournament matchups" structure though, so it's everyone's call. Also, you guys did not rate the card. RATE THE CARD out of 10 again, please. I do object due to the reason in BOLD above. We've all had to endure these "wolf toss" fights or everyone's favorite "your fighter vs. your fighter" fights because of this tournament format. This was the reason we switched in the first place, so that lower tier fighters would have an opportunity at title shots more often. I do, however, agree that they'd be more interesting fights, but there have been many times we've all gotten bad draws in any tournament, and we have to deal with it cuz that's the structure we put into place. So, I think that unless we're going to start doing this sort of thing for all N1C tournaments from now on, we're all just subject to the randomizer, regardless of the match up cuz no one else got special treatment when they were rookies, I don't think it's fair to the folks that have had to go through this before to start doing it now. But if the rest of you want to start doing thing this for the rest of the tournaments from here on out, that's kool. I just don't wanna see it be a one-off. That's just my opinion. |

I'm fine with how it is, but I don't care if you decide to change it either. The cards always say "subject to change" so it's not like we never had a heads up.

Yeah, we won't be doing it all the time. This is to pit a 1-0 vs. another 1-0. If THAT situation comes up again, and both are against my upgraded fighters, I will gladly consider a swap again. But we won't be changing it every single time a lower ranked fighter doesn't get a good draw, type deal. |

Then why bother asking me to post my opinion on something, yet again, if you're just going to go ahead and do whatever you want anyways? Solves nothing. |
