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.


Here are my predictions.

1. Nick Diaz will be cut from the UFC in 2012.
2. Anderson Silva will not fight Chael Sonnen in 2012.
3. Demian Maia will cut to WW in order to reinvigorate his career.
4. Rashad Evans will cut to MW after losing to Jon Jones
5. Jose Aldo will not be FW champ at the end of 2012.

1 - Alistair Overeem will fight for the UFC title and it will be his first of a 3 fight lose streak.
2 - Michael Bisping will get a title shot
3 - Palharres will get cut from the UFC

5 - frank Mir will get another title shot and win

Wilks retired due to injury, Escudero due to loses, and Brookins is "retired" or on "sabbatical" according to Wikipedia.

Markes went undefeated, he also went on an 11 month hiatus

Rashad went the distance.

shame 3 out of 5 didn't even "place" me in the rankings.

2) Machida will become the MW champion by defeating Chael Sonnen.

3) Jon Jones will lose his first fight at HW.

4) Frank Mir will work his way to a title shot, but lose it to JDS.

#11 · (Edited)
1. Roy Nelson will fight for the HW title (actual or interim)
2. GSP will win and finish his next fight (shit, beaten by Alessia by 3 minutes). Four or more weight classes will get a new champion (same weight class having several title changes doesn't count, have to be different weight classes)
3. Diego Sanchez will get a title shot (announced and/or fought in 2012)
4. Someone will suffer serious ill effects from weight-cutting (hospital before a fight or severe exhaustion in the cage resulting in premature stoppage), resulting in an even wider demand for weigh-in rules to be changed (I hope UFC takes action before this comes true)
5. Someone will hold belts in two weight classes at the same time
 
#12 · (Edited)
1) Chael Sonnen will be suspended for PEDs again.
2) Nick Diaz will give somebody the finger.
3) Rashad Evans will beat Jon Jones for LHW title.
4) Junior Dos Santos will beat Alistair Overeem.
5) GSP will retire.

I used my predictions up but I am gonna suggest that somebody make on about a certain Brazilian WW who was recently disqualified.

In concern to the above post.
I am also gonna assume since there was no interem champ at the time of that prediction that only current champs are included.
