Is there any actual rule prohibiting a tourney in the US

[VictorCharlie]

Could we a see a Pride style LHW or Welter Weight Tourney in the US and would the UFC do it. I mean these two divisions are stacked and a 16 man tourney would be awesome.
LHW WW
Wanderlei BJ
Shogun Hughes
Rampage GSP
Chuck Koschek
Arona Diego
Lil Nogs Nick Diaz
Sokoudju(sp?) Gomi
Tito Karo
Henderson Aoki
Rashad Fitch
Bisping Kenny Florian
Lambert Hermes Franca
Griffin Mike Swick
Bonnar sakurai
Jardine Serra
Babalu lawler

why did the ufc drop the touranment structure?

[VictorCharlie]

They stopped the tourneys when they got the sport sanctioned by NSAC and the other commissions..Why specifically I dont know

[SalTheButcher]

i think they dropped it to play it safe, i dont THINK the sanctioning lead to the tournaments being illegal but i think it was just such a touchy situation at that time they dropped them to play it safe

The first UFC's all they did were tournaments and the odd superfight so don't see why not.

I'd love to see it too.

im pretty sure its illegal for a fighter to fight twice in one day.
