I love these ideas. Obviously things can go wrong, but even if the absolute best fighters in each weight class aren't in it, it will still be good. Imagine the fighters ranked 5-15 somewhere in the tournament. That's still very interesting to me.

It may have to start like that and if it is successful enough, then bigger fighters will be involved in the future. Maybe that is why Schaeffer is trying to get weight classes without any stars in it. Like cruiserweight. Which fighter there would turn down exposure and a big payday?
