Each person gets 5 predictions, top 3 predictions that come true. (bizarre or unforeseen). Will earn the predictor 1000000 credits. Remember if two people make the exact same prediction who ever made it first wins, by making the prediction more specific though you can steal the win. Example if Person #1 predicts Anderson Silva will lose and person #2 predicts he will lose to Chael Sonnen then obviously if he were to lose to Sonnen #2 would get the points. Predictions will be accepted for one week starting now.


My Predictions for 2013.

1. After dropping 2 fights in 2013 Jose Aldo is no longer in P4P discussions.
2. GSP destroys Nick Diaz stopping him in under 3 rounds.
3. UFC buys Invicta
4. Dominick Cruz does not compete in single bout in 2013.
5. Sonnen/Jones will do over 1 million PPV buys

So who do you think won? I would go with Ultimate those seemed like better predictions, Kney got more right but those were more obvious

2. Anthony Johnson, Dennis Hallman, and Nate Marquardt all return to the UFC.
3. Demian Maia will either fight or be signed to fight for the WW title.

5. Several Gracie's return to the UFC and find success.
And uh

1. We got new champs at LW, WW, and MW
2. Hallman and Marquardt came back..sorta
3. Maia came sooo close, stupid Jake Shields
4. would have happened had Anderson not lost
5. One Gracie returned and he failed

I know I said I was going to predict something less crazy in the other thread but that's boring so...

1. Jose Aldo beats Frankie at FW, moves up and beats the LW champ.
2. Pettis will land a knockout with a kick we rarely see in MMA
3. Frankie Edgar becomes interim champ at 135
4. Ronda goes unbeaten in the UFC until she faces Cyborg

1. Frankie Edgar defeats Jose Aldo by split decision on February 2nd after a late surge where he gets dropped and nearly finished in the first two rounds to grind out two 10-9's in the third and fourth rounds before dropping Aldo in the fifth to take a split decision that gets FOTN and FOTY honors and splits the MMA world 50/50. Aldo and Edgar later rematch in the summer in Brazil.

2. Wanderlei Silva, Frank Mir, Rich Franklin, Nick Diaz, Rampage Jackson, Chael Sonnen, and Minotauro Nogueira retire.

3. Lyoto Machida defeats both Dan Henderson and Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua.

4. Benson Henderson will run the table in 2013
5. GSP v Anderson will have a lot of hype around, Dana will tell us all it's going to happen, but it won't.

Love this thread.

1.Douglas Lima wins Bellator Tourney again and wins the title this time.

2.Chael Sonnen won't fight Jon Jones. After TUF is done filming he will be replaced before they fight. I'm leaning Cormier but if Hendo beats Machida he could be the one to step in.

3.Jeff Rexroad will be signed by the UFC and go 2-0 with the UFC before the end of the year with both wins coming by submission. This man is a HUGE Welterweight. Like biggest WW that ever lived kind of huge.

4.Michael Chandler vs Rick Hawn will be better then Chandler vs Alvarez and Rick Hawn will become another highly regarded non Zuffa fighter.

5.GSP will lose the title in 2013. To either Diaz or Hendricks.

Alistair Overeem finishes Cain within 3 rounds to capture the gold.
Gegard Mousasi will make his UFC debut and sometime within a year, beats Shogun.
Jose Aldo loses belt to Edgar and moves up in weight after that.
GSP will finish someone.
Dana announces the 1st ever event in NYC.

1) The UFC release their own Training shoes (sneakers)
2) Big Nog retires
3) Nick Diaz loses on points against GSP and hits Zahabi in the octagon
4) Nate Marquadt draws his first fight and then loses his second on his comeback into the UFC and is released
5) Stefan Struve gets a title shot by Dec 2013
