Benson will lose his title to Gray Maynard but I think Frankie has a decent chance at dethroning Aldo.

I went for Cain but only because I forgot Aldo/Edgar was happening.

43 votes, man that's great. Successful thread! Thanks everyone for participating.
Mouse pulled away little bit but the votes are still pretty well spread out. A few of the Champions are facing some interesting challenges this year. SF imports seem to a big threat this year with Reem, Diaz, DC and Melendez.

I started the same thread nearly 3 years ago
http://www.mmaforum.com/ufc/72511-who-loses-first.html
Everyone thought the least likely champion to loose his belt at that time was BJ Penn.
I also think he was the first out of the list!

Sure, if he wins well i will consider him the champ. Thing about him and Rhonda is that i dont see either losing any time soon due to the weakness of there divisions.

I agree much more with Ronda then I do Mouse. Just like many others mentioned here I think the top of the Flys are all pretty equal. I would actually be very shocked if Mouse is able to hold this belt very long. I expect him to beat Dodson but after that I'll be increasingly impressed by each time he can defend his title.

GSP and Anderson have yet to lose their belts. Though it's funny how many people thought Penn was untouchable and how many people thought Anderson was going to get beat by Sonnen, came damn close.

There is still a good chunk of people that saw that 1st Frankie fight, myself included, that felt BJ Penn was robbed. He clearly lost the rematch but the 1st fight was extremely controversial.
