BOLDEST 2025 UFC Prediction(s)?!

[Black9]

With 2024 ending, What's your BOLDEST UFC prediction(s) for 2025?
So it can be written in stone here.

Mines:
Pantoja becomes 135 champ.
UFC finally goes to Africa for DDP vs Khamzat fight

 

[Brigfa2]

DDP will defend his title 2-3 times
O'Malley will be the champ again by beating Umar

 

[VinceArch]

Islam will break the record for most defenses at 155 and Sherdog will still REEE over it, but it will be begrudgingly so.

 

[HoiceNJuicy]

Jake Paul will make his UFC debut against Julianna Peña!

 

[sonhow]

Michael the menace Johnson knocks out Islam Makhachev.
Khabib will react with stunned but oddly content look on his face.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Cowboy Cerrone gets one last win in his return and is then brutally finished by Caio.

 

[Gabe]

Khamzat gets a key to the city of Fayetteville NC

 

[Aurelian]

Jon Jones finishes Tom Aspinall in one round.

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

Don't know if this is bold or a hot take but I think Islam will knock out arman, arman's striking is overrated and I don't see what threat he really brings. He's not gonna outwrestle Islam for 5 rounds, he has power but he's not a good boxer so I don't see him landing a clean shot that will hurt Islam and his defense is unreliable, he got rocked by Joaquim Silva.

Belal beats shavkat or buckley if he fights them, I think they're both overrated

 

[tritestill]

Alex Pereira fights 2-3 times in non emergency situations

 

[Madmartigains]

Ramazan Temirov becomes flyweight champ.

 

[wufabufa]

-Payton Talbott will be the new Sugar and enter the top 10 after more insane KO wins
-Jones/Aspinall wont' be made
-Pulling guard become the new meta as several new guard players will roll through their divisions
-Rogan quits the commentary booth
-Jim Miller doesn't retire
-Conor/Logan Paul have an MMA exhibition without Uncle Dana's permission
-PPV price jumps to $110 while Russian Link remains totally free
-CJI gets a big cash infusion by UFC and puts on an even better event in 2025
-Aspen Ladd gets lost during a hike with her dogs
-Pena, Belal, and Jones will lose their belts to foreigners meaning there will be no American born UFC champs for the first time in company history(someone please fact check me on that)

 

[Ozze]

Sherdoggers stop crying about Jones and making 10 threads a day regardless of what he's next career move is.

 

[Elvis.]

Jones will feel trapped by the pressure of fighting Tom and do something stupid, suspension type stupid

 

[Adamant]

Khamzat finally gets his long awaited title shot.
Shavkat becomes WW champion.
Jon Jones defeats Tom Aspinal.
Conor McGregor fights.

Aspen Ladd and her mom are a weird bunch, that would be nice if they got lost from social media and the fighting world..

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Going for a Hail-Mary

Khamzat beats Pereira... setting up a Champ vs Champ , Jon Jones at MSG next fall...

Ha.

I love seeing fighters do subs from guard.

 

[John makfresshi]

Jon Jones finishes Tom Aspinall in one round.

Not that bold, honestly likely

 

[JoeRowe]

Arman beats Islam twice in January & July, then beats the winner of Max/Charles II in December, wins Fighter-OTY for every major media outlet by going 3-0 in 2025.
