    MMA Start, Sit or Cut

    I've been thinking about starting this thread for two weeks, but I didn't have the balls. Well. I'm drunk, full of turkey, and everybody bailed on me. So here it is. I will give you three UFC Fighters. It is up to you to start him, sit him, or cut him. Kind of like Fuck, marry, kill. The first one is..

    Royce Gracie
    Randy Coutre
    Georges St. Pierre

    My apologies if someone did this before.

    After you answer, come up with another one.

    Unfortunately, this one is kinda easy as Royce's game never evolved with the changing of the sport, GSPs did, Randy's did to some extent. In terms of how they would fair, in their athletic prime, in todays MMA world:
    Start: GSP
    Bench: Couture
    Cut: Gracie

    In terms of dominance at their prime compared to their contemporaries, so thats Gracie in UFC 1-5, Couture in '97-2003', and GSP over the last few years its much tougher and would either be between GSP and Gracie for start with Couture getting the axe.

    James Toney, Kimbo Slice, Bob Sapp

      Well trojan it's pretty much how you interpret it, even though I would go with your second summary over your first.

      Start Bob Sapp
      Sit Slice
      Cut Toney

      BJ Penn, Anderson Silva, Josh Koshcheck (I totally misspelled that)
