The 8th fighter in the GP is....

[Zen]

Kiyoshi Tamura. At least that's what a guy who lives in Japan who posts on Sherdog is saying, so who knows, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is.

Here's how I see the brackets now.
Sak vs Tamura
Yoshida vs Overeem
Rampage vs Wanderlei
Liddell vs Arona

[Mr. Beelzebub]

I knew it. Tamura was leading the polls in Japan, he was even in front of Sakuraba.

I wanted to see Kondo or Ryan there, Tamura is going to be a stepping stone for whoever he faces.

I would like to see...

Saku Vs. Yoshida
Arona Vs. Tamura
Rampage Vs. Silva
Liddell Vs. Overeem

[Zen]

That's exactly how I'd like to see it too Kaps, or switch Rampage and Liddell. I would almost guarantee that all the Japanese will be on one side of the bracke so they have a good shot to get one into the finals.

I just hope Silva comes back in good shape after his lay off.

I'd want:

Sakuraba vs Tamura-sak should win, and they have a grudge.
Arona vs Yoshida-I only want one Arona fight, Yoshida might outgrapple him.
Liddell vs Overeem-good strikers, Overeem might give him lots of trouble though.
Rampage vs Silva-I want this to happen

Rampage or Liddell against Silva would be nice......

if rampage fights wanderlei in round 1, will the winner have enough left to win the gp?
