All right I know that this is all just fantasy and is never going to happen but what if the UFC took their deepest division and turned it into a 16 fighter tournament, either all in one night or done in successive nights or weeks or something like that, baring injuries who would win. This is my bracket:

1. Shogun vs 16. Tito
2. Rashad vs 15. Matt Hammill
3. Machida vs 14. Liddell
4. Rampage vs 13. Couture
5. Anderson Silva vs 12. Thiago Silva
6. Forrest vs. 11. Rich Franklin
7. Nogueria vs. 10 Bader
8. Belfort vs 9. Jon Jones

1. Shogun vs. 9. Jones
2. Evans vs. 10 Bader
3. Machida vs. Forrest
4. Rampage vs. 5. Silva

1. Shogun vs. 5. Silva
2 Evans vs. 3. Machida

1. Shogun vs. 3. Machida

1. Shogun

Feel free to change your brackets or rankings however you feel. Let the debate begin.
I guess I should have specified that its Lil Nog not Minotauro. I think that Silva and Belfort are both better than most of the other Light Heavyweights out there and thats why I put them in even though they technically fight at Middleweight.
 
shogun defeats tito...rashad defeats hammill...liddell defeats machida... couture wins over rampage...a.silva defeats t.silva... griffin defeats franklin... nogueira defeats bader... belfort defeats jones...
next round:
belfort defeats tito... nogueira defeats evans..liddell defeats forrest... anderson silva defeats (no, destroys) couture...
third:
silva defeats belfort... and nogueira defeats liddell...
final fight: nogueira defeats anderson silva (by unanimous decision^^)
winner of tournament: Antonio rodrigo nogueira
don´t forget that he is one of the greatest heavyweights ever
 
Belfort and Silva, interesting choices considering they will fight at middleweight lol.
i do think shogun could win this tournament, although i think his toughest test would be jon jones. here is my bracket
1.Shogun vs. 16. Tito (1st round knockout)
2.Rashad vs. 15. Liddell (2nd round knockout)
3.Machida vs. 14. Franklin (unanimous decision)
4.Rampage vs. 13. Hamill (2nd round knockout)
5.A. Silva vs. 12. Bader (3rd round submission)
6.Lil Nog vs. 11. Couture (unanimous decision)
7.Forest vs. 10. T. Silva (4th round knockout)
8. Jon Jones vs. Belfort (1st round knockout)
ROUND 2
1.Shogun vs. 8.Jon Jones (2nd round knockout)
2.Rashad vs. 7.Forest (split decision)
3.Machida vs. 11.Couture (unanimous decision)
4.Rampage vs. 5.A. Silva (2nd round knockout)
ROUND 3
8.Jon Jones vs 5.A. Silva (split decision)
7.Forest vs. 3.Machida (3rd round submission)
ROUND 4
8.Jon Jones vs. 3.Machida (1st round knockout)
WINNER
Jon Jones



side note, i think the winner of the shogun/jon jones fight would win, i just picked the underdog
