Try to keep it semi reasonable if you can. But for each weight class what guys do want holding the titles at the end of this year?
Fly- Creepy. He will probably have to beat Joe convincingly to get a chance at a shot this year.
BW- Mayday. Nothing against Barao but I prefer Mayday. F*ck Cruz.
FW-Aldo- I'd like to see things play out a bit more at LW before he makes the jump. I'm cool with Zombie here as well.
LW- Out of the most likely guys to hold it Bendo,Gil, Pettis, maybe EA or Maynard. I'll take Pettis.
WW- Nick Diaz. But Hendricks would be fine as well.
MW- Weidman. I'd also be cool with Vitor. But hell no to Spider or Evans.
LHW- Hendo. Would be sweet to see him get that belt. I'd settle for Mousasi or Glover.
HW- JDS. Still think he is the best. If not then I prefer Cain just keep it. But if I really stretch it then Mark Hunt would be my #2. DC would be cool too. Just no Reem, Barnett or Mir.
Flyweight: I'm fine with Mighty Mouse staying as champion. Really good athlete who puts on solid fights.
Bantamweight: Don't have any preference here. No particular favourite in this division. I like Alex Caceres but he ain't anywhere near a title shot.
Featherweight: Erm...I say Edgar. I really really like Edgar and he puts on exciting fights the majority of the time. Excellent athlete as well. Thing is I would have to see him beat Aldo for the belt.
Lightweight: Aldo. Hopefully Aldo moves up after the Edgar fight no matter the outcome and claims the lightweight title. I like Bendo as a fighter and for the most part his attitude. Don't really like how he mentions his religion in near ever single interview though. Prefer Aldo as champ. Otherwise, Pettis. Excellent striker and a would be a great exciting champion.
Welterweight: I like Fitch but GSP is just a much better fighter. GSP is a great ambassador for the sport as well so I'm happy he is champ.
Middleweight: I don't really know. I want Andy to drop the title and just go for superfights. We all know he is the best middleweight already. I just want him to put a definitive statement that he is the absolute greatest of all time. If he does drop the title, then Weidman please. I don't see anybody else in the division beating Weidman sans Lombard, who could give him a very good challenge).
Light heavyweight: Hopefully Jones continues his run towards being the greatest light heavyweight of all time. I don't see anybody else in the division being a threat to him. If Jones moves up to heavyweight end-2013 then MACHIDA please take back the title. Glover is a good candidate as well. Like that guy.
Heavyweight: JDS. Just because I want to see that JDS-Overeem fight...
LOL well most of those qualify as "semi-reasonable". Who is your favorite BW and LW that could have a crack at the title this year? Nate lost handily so that is stretching a bit too far IMO. Stretching it would be Alvarez or Maynard IMO but Nate is just going a bit too far IMO. But I would be very happy if Nate was Champion.
HW- Barnett I would love the look on DW's face as he puts the belt on the War Master.
LHW- Hendo cement his legacy or Glover prove he is elite.
MW- Anderson
WW-Nick Diaz or Hendricks
LW- Gil, Pettis, Alvarez in a wild turn of events Chandler- anyone better than Bendo
FW-Aldo
BW-Mayday
FlW-Useless- Useless? Not a huge fan of point fighter champs
WBW- Anyone but Rousey..Tate or Coenen
HW: Overeem
LHW: Machida
MW: Anderson Silva
WW: GSP
LW: Diaz
FW: Frankie
BW: Cruz
FW: Uncle Creepy
Womens: I guess Ronda. Not sure what will happen to the division if she loses.
I want Wanderlei to be MW champion but unfortunately the OP said to keep it reasonable Wandy is my fav though. I have a signed photo on my wall next to me.
HW: Mark Hunt. He's on a run so it can happen
LWH: Chael Sonnen.
MW: Anderson Silva
WW: GSP
LW: Bendo. I want more praise Jesus speeches, just because.
FW: Korean Zombie. Every fight is a guaranteed FOTN.
BW and Fly: Don't give a shit. Maybe I'll like someone in those divisions enough to care in a year or 2.
HW: Mark Hunt. He's on a run so it can happen
LWH: Chael Sonnen.
MW: Anderson Silva
WW: GSP
LW: Bendo. I want more praise Jesus speeches, just because.
FW: Korean Zombie. Every fight is a guaranteed FOTN. BW and Fly: Don't give a shit. Maybe I'll like someone in those divisions enough to care in a year or 2.
What?!? You are not a fan.....ahhhh I'm just kidding. You really have no preference at the moment though? Barao, Cruz, Mayday, Wineland, Faber? Like them all equally?
Womens: Rhonda Rousey
Fly: John Dodson
BW: Michael McDonald
FW: Frankie Edgar
LW: Anthony Pettis
WW: Rory MacDonald
MW: Anderson Silva
LHW: Jon Jones
HW: Pat Barry
HW: Cain
- Second favorite after Rich
LHW: Glover
- Love this guy, hopefully he'll get a shot sooner or later
MW: Weidman
- I'm getting sick of seeing Anderson with that belt.
WW: Maia
- I'm fine with GSP as the champion but Maia is my favorite WW.
LW: Miller
- Not going to happen. He'll always be a 6-10 guy but a girl can dream.
FW: Edgar
- I don't think he'll get past Aldo but still. I just want to see Aldo lose.
BW: Faber
- Outside of Diaz and Anderson, Cruz is probably my least favorite fighter. Not a fan of Barao either. I really want to see Faber hold a belt.
FLW: McCall
- I'm fine with DJ or JB as champ. But I pick McCall due to the stashe.
WBW: Coenen
- No explanation needed.
Wishes:
Women's Bantamnweight: Anybody but Rousey
Flyweight: Uncle Creepy, all day
Bantamweight: Barao
Featherweight: Aldo
Lightweight: Bendo
Welterweight: Kampmann
Middleweight: Anderson
Light Heavyweight: Jones
Heavyweight: Cain or Cormier, cool with either
Predictions:
Women's Bantamnweight: Rousey
Flyweight: Johnson
Bantamweight: McDonald
Featherweight: Aldo
Lightweight: Bendo
Welterweight: GSP
Middleweight: Anderson
Light Heavyweight: Jones
Heavyweight: Overeem
Actually I don't think Guida is that much of a stretch. IF Aldo beats Edgar and then moves to LW, Guida would have a legitimate chance unless they matched him up with Edgar after the loss. (But I think it will be Edgar as well)
Fly W: Dodson
BW: Barão
FW: Aldo
LW: Bendo
WW: Hendricks
MW: Silva
LHW: Bones Jones
HW: I'm fine with either the Cain or the Reem
What I think will happen...
Fly W: Demetrius Johnson
BW: Barão
FW: Aldo
LW: Bendo
WW: Hendricks (I think he's gonna pull it off, call me crazy)
MW: Silva, although I think Hector Lombard, and Chris Weidman both have a VERY good chance.
LHW: Bones Jones
HW: It's a toss up for me, I think maybe The Reem will gas and Cain will dec him. Although, Reeem has shown some good tdd and KO power.
WBW: Ronda Rousey
Flyweight: Ian McCall
Bantamweight: Michael McDonald
Featherweight: Frankie Edgar
Lightweight: Anthony Pettis
Welterweight: Nick Diaz
Middleweight: Michael Bisping
Light Heavyweight: Chael Sonnen
Heavyweight: Alistair Overeem
That would be my dream set of UFC Champions. Imagine a group press conference with this lot LOL
