Curious. What would you rather see in tournaments.

1) Guys who won their last fight or two that have poor records, or
2) Ranked, better fighters that are on losing streaks

For an upcoming LW tournament, it could either consist of these guys:

Kenny Florian (7-11) - 2 fight win streak
Frankie Edgar (26-28) - 1 fight win streak
Edson Barboza (5-6) - 1 fight win streak
Roger Huerta (21-17) - 1 fight win streak

all would probably get shredded by the champ (unless upgraded, which is possible and encouraged)

or, something like this:

Jose Aldo (38-28) - lost last fight

Spencer Fisher (34-9) - lost last fight

Dominick Cruz (43-24) - lost last 3 fights

Melvin Guillard (42-26) - lost last fight

(where the winner could conceivably win the belt from the champion.)

What would you rather see?

	SF = x2 (Rua, Liddel(current)) HW = x5 (Machida, Couture x2, Liddel, Rua) MW = x1 (St. Pierre) LW = x0 (None) BW = x1 (Nakai) FW = x2 (Jedrzejczyk x2(current)) Grand Prix = x2 (Season 13 & 16) Team of the Year = x4 (Season 13, 16, 17 & 18)

There probably will be occasions where I have little choice but to do one or the other, yes. RIght now, I mostly mean if given the choice between the two, what would you prefer, if you care. For example, right now I am making this decision. The batch of guys that will be in the tournament will go into a tournament, and the guys who do not will be given different fights before the next tournament type thing.

Probably not helpful, but I'm pretty much just in the boat of "I like fights so any fight is cool by me"
