darkthrone99 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Ok guys, so who's gonna be champs by July 2011 after watching things shaping up in all the divisions over the last year - my personal picks for each division along with other likely possible champs are as follows - HW - Lesnar - Carwin These are the only two guys in the division who can beat each other. JDS and Cain are two small to beat either of them. I don't see anyone else coming along either to challenge this two horse race (I'm a fedor fan but I'm being realistic in accepting that he probs won't end up in the UFC). The only other option is Overeem who has the size and skills to beat either of these guys but again, it is up in the air whether he ends up in Dana's clutches. LHW - Jon Jones No other options with this one. In 12 months and 3 to 4 fights time, Bones should be just about champ. The guy is a freak and is the next phenom of mma. Simple as. Unfortunately Rashface evans has found a very dull but effective way of winning fights so I see him being around as #1 contender. MW - Anderson Silva - Mark Munoz Forget Belfort, the guy is a constant overhyped disappointment and he will not get the better of A Silva if they ever fight. If Silva moves to LHW then I see Munoz becoming champ if the belt is vacated. If silva does not vacate the belt then he will not be beaten in the MW division. End of. WW - Gsp - Jake Shields Shields is the only person who stands a chance of out GSPing GSP in that he could grind out a very boring fight and win a majority wrestling based decision. He is obviously a tough son of a gun and can take a shot so will be tough to beat by anyone's standard. LW - BJ Penn He mis timed his cut in Abu Dhabi and gassed in the heat against a very well conditioned, scrappy guy who hardly needs to cut at all. This won't happen again and he will be champ again until he retires. What does everyone else think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyspasm Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Not bad, but why jones? Who's he fought? Personally i'm looking forward to the janitor wiping the floor with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bear413 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Not bad' date=' but why jones? Who's he fought? Personally i'm looking forward to the janitor wiping the floor with him.[/quote'] I don't think it's who he's fought. It's how he's fought. Good list, should be interesting to see what they do with Jones after he beats The Janitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does everyone else think?[/quote'] HW- Carwin Hes gonna get the rematch with brock and finish what he started LHW- Shogun Hell beat Rashad and win the rubber match with Machida even though he already one the first 2 MW- Nate Marquardt A. Silva will have beaten Sonnen and Belfort and hell retire......then Nate fights Sonnen in rematch for vacant championship WW- GSP After he destroys Koscheck i see him winning a unaminous over Shields. GSP FTW LW- BJ Penn After he destroys Edgar, hell destroy Maynard in his next fight. then hell dominate til he retires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuddles Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 HW - Lesnar As much I would love to say Carwin, I cant see him defeating Brock in a rematch. LHW - Shogun I would back Shogun against any LHW, the only fighter in his Division that can truly test him is Machida IMO. MW - Anderson Silva He will not move up in weight, will not retire for at least 2-3 years so I can see him being champion until then. WW - Jon Fitch Although I cant stand watching Fitch's fights I do believe he has what it takes to beat GSP if/when they fight again. LW - BJ Penn Agree with SinisterKimura. After he destroys Edgar, hell destroy Maynard in his next fight. then hell dominate til he retires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmicjewzombie Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Heavyweight-Cain velasquez or Shane carwin I see one of these two being champs because until Brock betters his stand-up game I font think he can beat these two Light Heavy- Rashad I really don't like him but I think he will beat shogun with his wrestleing.I think rashad will keep shogun down and get the UD alla GSP without causing any damage. Middle- sonnen I know ppl don't think so but I do. Welter-don't really care probobly GSP forever with his LNP light- bj Penn or gray Maynard I hope Maynard gets past Kenny wich I'm sure he will and then bullies bj to get the UD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghack Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Bones looks good, but so does everyone until they move up in competition. He still has about 3 fights before he would be a mjor contentder. If he wins convincingly this week, put him in against Franklin, that will tell us where he is for real.

spaceman04 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 HW Carwin LHW Franklyn MW Bisping ( i think silva will retire) WW GSP LW Maynard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForrestGriffinFan101 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 HW: JDS- I see him being the only one besides Carwint hat can beat Lesnar LHW: Bader- Rashad will beat Shogun and Jones won't fight him because they are buddies, so Bader will. MW: GSP- Super fight with A. Silva and wins WW: GSP- No ones beatin him LW: G-Sot- Wins his next fight and then gets a title shot, which he wins. He then defends his belt.

Urnam Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Lesnar Shogun Belfort* GSP Penn *Silva will retire, and Marquardt and Belfort will duke it for the MW belt. Belfort will KO Nate in the first. If Silva doesn't retire, well, Belfort will TKO silva in the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
