Heavyweight - Stipe Miocic has broken the title defense record with 3, most dominant HW champ in UFC history and the most impressive resume of any UFC HW in history.
Light Heavyweight - Jones get busted for steriods, DC becomes paper champ (Jones already beat him once), JJ comes back and KOs Cormier, gets suspended for roids again, DC becomes the light heavyweight paper champ again after beating Volkov. Next fight is at HW for the HW belt.
Middleweight - Bisping KOs Rockhold in the rematch as a late replacement for Weidman, Bisping becomes Middleweight champ, Bisping gets injured so Whittaker fights Romero for the interim belt. Whittaker wins and then gets injured. GSP makes a comeback at MW vs Bisping for the MW title. GSP agrees to unify against Whittaker if he wins, and he submits Bisping. GSP resigns because of getting sick. Whittaker becomes undisputed champion. Rockhold and Romero fight for yet another interim belt. Romero misses weight and therefore cant win the interim. Rockhold gets KOd and Yoel wins the fight, but isnt crowned interim champ but still gets the rematch against Whittaker for the undisputed belt which is actually just an interim belt that he already beat Romero to get.
Welterweight - Tyron Woodley is out with a shoulder injury but should be back in the summer. Covington vs former lightweight RDA gets made for the interim title. This one isn't too bad, but was an interim belt really necessary?
Lightweight - Conor gets his shot at the LW belt after beating Diaz in the rematch at 170. McGregor KO's Alvarez and wins the belt. Conor takes about a year off then fights Mayweather which results in Ferguson fighting Kevin Lee for the LW interim belt. Tony wins and becomes interim champion and is scheduled to fight Khabib again, Ferguson gets injured one week out and the fight gets cancelled for the 4th time.
Now the FW champion Max Holloway steps up on one weeks notice to fight Khabib for the interim LW title which will most likely be for the real LW belt come saturday night once both guys are in the ring. If Max wins this means the the FW belt will be on hold for probably a year or more since I expect McGregor to come back and fight Max for the LW belt if he gets the upset. Thus, Ortega probabaly fights someone at FW in the meantime for the FW interim belt. The winner of the possible McGregor/Max fight would probably then move down and fight the winner of Ortega/X fighter. Hopefully Khabib wins so we can avoid this cluster fuck.
Featherweight - McGregor KOs Aldo wins the FW belt, moves up and KO's Alvarez and wins the LW belt. Becomes champ champ, says the UFC needs an army to take away his belts. Immediately gets stripped of his FW belt so that Aldo and Holloway (Conor already beat both) can fight for the LW belt to bring some legitimacy back to FW. Holloway KOs Aldo twice. Holloway becomes the champ and is now moving up to fight Khabib for the interim LW title
Bantamweight - Garbrandt whoops Cruz wins the belt and loses his first defence to TJ. Now there are rumors that Cody is getting an immediate rematch when Jimmie Rivera has won 20 fights in a row and cant even get a titleshot? WTF is going on. I still like the Cody/TJ rematch but damn.. come on.
Flyweight - DJ is a beast a FW and has been successfully defending his title against all FW contenders but this division is stale outside of DJ, Cejudo and Benavidez. DJ should have fought TJ but that obviously isnt going to fall through.
Womens BW - Ronda gets exposed by Holm. Holm gets tapped by Miesha, Miesha gets creamed by Nunes and then Nunes KO Ronda on the comeback and then Nunes beats Shevchenko by decision. Nothing crazy going on in this division. The title has changed hands a lot though as of late.
Womens SW - JJ is dominating and then gets tapped by strikes to Rose. JJ gets an immediate rematch? JJ should have fought someone else before getting a TS and rose should have defended once in the meantime and go from there.
Womens Flyweight - Nico Montano won TUF to win the inaugural Flyweight belt. Shevchenko moved down and is going to dominate this division for a long time. This flyweight division almost has no substance itll revolve around Shevchenko like Flyweight revolves around DJ.
Womens Featherweight - There are literally no rankings for this division because no one is in it besides Cyborg. Germaine de Randamie was the first FW champion in this division after beating Holly Holm for the inaugural belt. After, she refused to fight Cyborg so she got stripped and Cyborg fought some truck driver from the USA to win the vacant FW belt. Then Cyborg fought Holly Holm for Holms second crack at the belt. Holm lost again and Cyborg literally fought someones mom at UFC 222. It was a mauling.
What a circus the UFC has become lately. Don't get me wrong I dont think UFC is dieing but I can't remember a time when UFC has been so unstable. Injuries, missed weight, refusals to fight, and USADA are really taking a toll on the UFC.
