[Shamrock771]

[CENTER][B][COLOR="Red"][SIZE="6"]OLYMPICS 2008[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B][/CENTER] What if Mixed Martial Arts became an Olympic sport? Who would be the world’s greatest fighters? Here is an idea using TOS5. There is only one promotion with 16 Fighters in 6 weight classes. There is a maximum of 3 fighters by country. Here is the rosters: [CENTER] [B][U]Bantamweight [/U][/B] Miguel Torres (USA) 34-1 Urijah Faber (USA) 20-1 Norifumi Yamamoto (Japan) 17-1 Jens Pulver (USA) 22-8-1 Wagnney Fabiano (Brazil) 10-1 Antonio Carvalho (Canada) 10-3 Hatsu Hioki (Japan) 15-3-1 Brad Pickett (England) 12-4 Fredson Paixao (Brazil) 8-2 Jean Silva (Brazil) 15-8-3 Akitoshi Tamura (Japan) 11-6-2 Mark Hominik (Canada) 15-8 Daniel Lima (Australia) 8-2-2 Danny Batten (England) 11-6-3 Jong Man Kim (Korea) 3-5-2 Michal Hamrsmid (Czech) 9-7 [B][U]Lightweight [/U][/B] BJ Penn (USA) 12-4-1 Takanori Gomi (Japan) 28-3 Per Eklund (Sweden) 12-3-1 Shinya Aoki (Japan) 15-2 Gesias Calvancante (Brazil) 14-2-1 Gilbert Melendez (USA) 14-1 Jeff Curran (USA) 29-9-1 Thiago Tavares (Brazil) 13-1 Joachim Hansen (Norway) 17-6-1 Marcus Aurelio (Brazil) 16-5 Mitsuhiro Ishida (Japan) 16-3-1 Chris Horodecki (Canada) 12-1 Sam Stout (Canada) 13-4-1 Jorge Masvidal (Cuba) 13-2 Denis Siver (Germany (11-5) Deividas Taurosevicius (Lithuania) 9-2 [B][U]Welterweight[/U][/B] Georges St-Pierre (Canada) 18-2 Jon Fitch (USA) 16-2 Carlos Condit (USA) 22-4 Thiago Alves (Brazil) 14-3 Diego Sanchez (USA) 18-2 Hayato Sakurai (Japan) 32-7-2 Jonathan Goulet (Canada) 22-9 Akihiro Gono (Japan) 27-12-7 Ryo Chonan (Japan) 14-8 Roan Carneiro (Brazil) 12-6 Dan Hardy (England) 18-6 David Baron (France) 13-2 Paul Daley (England) 17-6-2 Tony DeSouza (Peru) 10-4 Alex Serdyukov (Russia) 7-4 Paul Kelly (England) 7-0 [B][U]Middleweight [/U][/B] Anderson Silva (Brazil) 21-4 Nathan Marquardt (USA) 26-7-2 Paulo Filho (Brazil) 16-0 Rich Franklin (USA) 23-3 Michael Bisbing (England) 15-2 Patrick Coté (Canada) 12-4 Robbie Lawler (USA) 16-4 Yushin Okami (Japan) 21-4 Denis Kang (Canada) 29-10-1 Amar Suloev (Armenia) 24-7 Kazushi Sakuraba (Japan) 24-10-1 Andrei Semenov (Russia) 27-9-2 Arman Gambaryan (Russia) 15-4 David Loiseau (Canada) 16-8 Royce Gracie (Brazil) 14-3-3 Kazuo Misaki (Japan) 19-8-2 [B][U]Light Heavyweight [/U][/B] Quinton Jackson (USA) 29-6 Chuck Liddell (USA) 21-5 Bas Rutten (Holland) 28-4-1 Forrest Griffin (USA) 15-4 Lyoto Machida (Brazil) 12-0 Vladimir Matyushenko (Belarus) 21-3 Thiago Silva (Brazil) 12-0 Wanderlei Silva (Brazil) 31-8-1 Tomasz Drwal (Poland) 14-2 Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou (Cameroun) 4-2 Goran Reljic (Croatia) 7-0 Travis Galbraith (Canada) 14-5 Krzysztof Soszynski (Canada) 15-8-1 James Zikic (England) 15-5-2 Kazuhiro Nakamura (Japan) 11-7 Mark Epstein (England) 14-10 [B][U]Heavyweight [/U][/B] Fedor Emelianenko (Russia) 27-1 Randy Couture (USA) 16-8 [B]Retired and replaced by Tim Sylvia (USA)[/B] Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (Brazil) 31-4-1 Andrei Arlovski (Belarus) 12-5 Frank Mir (USA) 11-3 Mirko Filipovic (Croatia) 23-6-2 Antonio Silva (Brazil) 10-1 Fabricio Werdum (Brazil) 10-3-1 Ben Rothwell (USA) 27-5 Aleksander Emelianenko (Russia) 13-3 Sergei Kharitonov (Russia) 15-3 Alistair Overeem (Netherlands) 26-11 Brandon Vera (Philippines) 8-1 Cheick Kongo (France) 11-4-1 Gary Goodridge (Canada) 23-16-1 Sao Palelei (Australia) 8-2[/CENTER]

Just curious as to how people like Faber and Pulver are going to make Bantamweight (135) without removing a limb.

[Shamrock771]

[CENTER]Bantamweight: 130-145lbs** Lightweight: 146-155lbs Welterweigt: 156-170lbs Middleweight: 171-185lbs Light Heavyweight: 186-205lbs Heavyweight: 206-500lbs **I decided to put a larger Bantamweight class to have more competition in this particular class...[/CENTER]

He isn't a very big 145. I like the concept. I'll be reading.

Sorry to point this out... supposed to be three per country in a division, you have four USA in the Lightweight group (BJ, Huerta, Gilbert, and Curran). quick edit: Don't think I'm picking on you or anything, I'm interested in this concept!

is this still going?

damn, id like to see this as a download, as i am far to lazy to make it myself. sounds fun.

It seems cool, but a few too many Americans in each. I know the rules are 3 each, but that gives them a huge advantage because they're the only ones that have three fighters in each weight class. I think the tournament could do without fighters such as Pulver, Curran, and Mir etc.
