Alright so i numberd the contestants 1-6 and had co-workers pick a number between 1-6 to determine the draft order. That way it was fair for everyone. And the results are.. I hate my co-workers!!

You can make your pick anytime after the 24 hours but if others pick ahead of you too bad. Please PM the next person picking so they are aware you choice has been made. Thanks, have fun.
Oh noes, I'm not going to hear the end of this! Anyways, my pick, clearly, is Ken "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Shamrock. And by that I mean my pick is Anderson Silva. He's won seven fights in a row, including five title fights (four defenses), with no signs of slowing down.
Picking third...with GSP and Silva gone who woulda thunk it? Im going to go with Coach Rampage. How can you go wrong with him?
Dangit Frame.. I was hoping Rampage up! ah well, I'll have to settle for the man who's fought at LW, WW, MW and LHW The Prodigy!! BJ Penn! BJ Gives me a super talent who is now motivated to cement his status as one of the legend of the sport and he's a cocky guy who speaks him mind. He can hype up any fight I throw at him and the fans will want to see it. He's recently dismantled Jens Pulver and Joe Stevenson. I can see BJ holding titles at 3 weight classes in my new fight league, The SFC The Scottish Fighting Championship! Bagpipes and haggish for every fighter!! A bottle of real Scotch to the winners as a bonus too *Have PM'd ZAE to let him know he's up. Please make sure to do this so we can keep this rolling.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Big Frame @ May 1 2008, 02:22 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Silva's so great he can be on 2 peoples teams YAAA Me!</div> fixed mr. smarty pants that thing was a pain in the butt to get set up, had to get speeds to assist with the finishing touches.
I'll take Chuck Liddell and Forest Griffin. These pics are 100% about hype. Forrest and Chuck sell fights; they are recognized and adored world wide. They are two of the most exciting fighters at any weight class. These two fighters have played a key roll in the success of the UFC and MMA in this decade, and provide a solid foundation for any organization.
I'll take Mauricio "Shogun" Rua Bad loss to Griffin aside, he's won the Pride LHW grand prix beating a who's who of the top LHW's around and crushed Rampage Jackson in the process. He's still young and is a dynamic fighter and the laides like him so I can draw in the casual fan with his appeal. *Have PM'd big frame.
The Beer Brawl League, Where the winners fight for a case of Natty Light we like big bruisers who are HYPED. and there is no one more hyped then Youtube legend Kevin Ferguson AKA Kimbo Slice.
I'm going to take.. "The Fireball Kid" Takanori Gomi has been one of the bets p4p fighters in the world for years and had an epic battle with BJ Penn 5 years ago and now I can set up a rematch to see who is the #1 155'er. I forsee several bottles of scotch courtesy of the Scottish Fighting Championship going to The Fireball Kid. Has to be Fireball Whiskey I would assume
