According to this article about Gegard Mousasi leaving M-1 Global DREAM is considering doing a Light-Heavyweight Grand Prix in which Mousasi will be a part of. A Light-Heavyweight Grand Prix would be amaxing in the UFC since they have the lions share of the best Light-Heavyweights in the world, but that's never going to happen.

So who do you guys think, or would like to see DREAM get for the Light-Heavyweight Grad Prix. Here's who I'd pick:

Gegard Mousasi
Dan Henderson
Renato Sobral
Ricardo Arona
Melvin Manhoef
Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou
Muhammed Lawal
Bobby Southworth

I'm not sure Babalu has woken up yet so he couldn't be involved

They've also got a Heavyweight Grand Prix happening this year apparently.

My guess for the LHW tournament would be:

Gegard Mousasi
Mark Coleman
Muhammad Lawal
Zelg Galesic
Minowa
RTS
Kiyoshi Tamura
Jeff Monson

Though Zelg and Kiyoshi could easily switch with Hendo and/or Babalu...

Also I don't know if Minowa would be able to make 205...hmm

And now that I think about it Kiyoshi is probably to small...change that to Murilo Rua.

I just pretty much picked the 8 best Light-Heavyweights that aren't in the UFC.

Would Manhoef be able to make 205? I thought he was a natural middleweight.

He probably could, but I think Middleweight is really where he's best.

Well, it is Dream, so there's nothing to keep him from roiding out.

There is that, though since he's also signed with Strikeforce I doubt he'd chance it.
