I guess I will go first...
I am going to go with Strike Force. Their top 5 beats the UFC.
Fedor
Overeem
Werdum
Bigfoot
Barnett

and the young guys they have are not bad either
del rosario
rogers"yes he was overwhelmed by Overeem but he is still a young fighter and not a bad option at the number 6 or 7 position in the organization"
Duffee"where else will he sign"

The best thing about the Barnett signing is there is more to talk about than just the UFC now, and to me makes things more interesting.

Close, real close. Barnett, Fedor, Werdum, Big Foot, Overeem, Del Rosario, Cormier vs Lenar, Carwin, JDS, Mir, Cain, Big Nog. I just flipped a coin and it landed on its side. Hows that?

I think the edge goes to SF. lets match it up this way.

Overeem "SF champ" vs Brock "UFC champ"----- I say Overeem takes it due to his striking
Werdum vs Cain--- I say Werdum's BJJ is the difference and Werdum takes it
Fedor vs JDS-- This is a tough one to pick but I am going to take Fedor" how can you ever pick against him?"
Barnett vs Carwin--- Barnett weathers the storm and submits Carwin. Barnett in this one as well
Big Foot vs Mir--- I think Mir is done after his beatings he took from Brock. I see Big Foot dominating this fight and getting a TKO
Not going to match up Nog until I see him come back this latest injury.

I would take Alistair over Brock for the sheer fact that we seen what happens when he picks on someone his own size... and unlike Carwin, Alistair won't gas after the first round

Cain's speed would be the difference maker here... I seen him keeping it standing and grinding out a decision

Barnett Vs. Carwin would be a interesting one... A man caught using roids against someone who allegedly used roids... if Barnett can get out of round 1 he has it in the bag... sadly it won't make it out of round 1, Carwin by TKO

Fedor Vs. JDS... I'll take Fedor for the sheer fact that JDS won't put him in a triangle

And Mir would man handle big foot... As much as I hate to say it UFC 3-2

Yeah, but I can simply say Lesnar takes Overeem down and beats him til the ref stops it. I can say JDS has already KO'd Werdum and can do it again. I can tell you Cain's wrestling beats Barnett. I can say Carwin demolishes Big Foot. I could say anyone of the top3 guys in UFC can beat Fedor. IMO its just too close to call. I actually like the UFC's big 4 over SF's big 4.

Your not following the rules lol Cain is the #1 challenger so he gets Werdum who is SF's #1

I would take Brock because unlike Carwin I dont think he can stop a Lesnar TD.

Hopefully one day we will see because Overeem Vs. Brock is my new wet dream for interpromotion fights

You actually think any of the top 3 in the UFC can beat Fedor?????

and if you notice I tried to match the guys up the way they are ranked in their respected organizations. Werdum is the #2 guy and so is Cain. Fedor is 3 and so is JDS and so on.....

What makes you say/think Overeem can't stop a Brock takedown?

Stop with the D2 garbage. You and Brock make me sick.

There are dozens of world champions who have been D2 guys. There are many reasons why they go to a D2 school instead of a D1, and lack of skill isn't the most likely. Sometimes they don't have the money, sometimes they don't have the grades, sometimes the D2 school has the academics they want (like a good engineering program), ext.

You really don't have a clue what you are talking about.

Because I think Brock has world clas wrestling while Overeem is mediocre. What makes you think Brock wont take him down?

Because Overeem is alot better than the guys Brock has faced so far. And his striking is alot better than Carwins.
