Fouls last LW pick above ^

My picks this time are close to current UF, should be interesting having prime Yoel, Jacare, and Sonnen in the mix w izzy and Vettori

Drink went old school with several picks here with Franklin and Hendo, but still have Gegard who is a modern contender. Should be a fun one to watch

Foul has a mix of eras too, Whitaker vs Akiyama sounds fire though. Guys like Cung Lee and Tim Kennedy could be sleepers to get the belt.

Matty has a ton of good striker matchups, and top feels a bit open between guys like Bisping, cannonnier, Till

Uli is heavy in the Anderson silva era, we can see if he can finally beat Weidman in WMMA. Okami v silva was classic anderson domination.


OVerall strength: I like my picks here, got some top guys from last couple eras. At their peaks though all these are strong lists.
