Just under two weeks left of 2016, fam. Get your predictions in. Given who we've seen rise and fall in the UFC this year, who are poised to become or remain the strap-bearers of their class in 2017? Shertemplate: FyW- BW- FW- LW- WW- MW- LHW- HW- Here...We...Go!
HW - stipe LHW- Jones MW - romero WW- GSP LW - Khabib FW- aldo BW- cruz FyW- DJ Wmma: 145- Cyborg 135- nunes 115- JJ
If Cain beats Werdum, I think his wrestling will be key vs Stipe Jones vs DC, grappling will play a huge role in that fight Jacare is coming for the MW strap with his BJJ Maia is coming for the WW strap with his BJJ Khabib is coming for the LW strap with his wrestling. I think it will be the year of grapplers. HW: Cain LHW: Jones MW: Jacare WW: Maia LW: Khabib FW: Holloway BW: Cruz FLW: DJ WFW: Cyborg WBW: Ronda WSW: Andrade
HW: Cain LHW: Rumble MW: Weidman WW: Wonderboy LW: Conor FW: Aldo BW: Cruz FlyW: DJ wmma: Cyborg, Shevchenko, JJ
Likes to all dawgs who replied already. Lots of different predictions here...too hard to reconcile all of them. Only one can be right.
50/50 I think. Both Aldo and Holloway prefer to strike, Joanna is a Muay Thai machine and Stipe mostly strikes, although he's kind of a "jack of all trades". Those will keep their belts as long as they are not doing any dumb choices. Others either are grapplers or will be replaced by grapplers.
@fightfan84 and @Sonny Qc just casually throwing Georges out there for WW, hmm...blind optimism or insider tip?
probably but Aldo is due to get injured again. Max will defend the interim and end the year with a belt.
HW - Stipe LHW- Cormier MW - Bisping WW- Woodley LW - Khabib FW- Hollaway BW- TJ FyW- DJ WFW- Holm WBW-Ronda WSW-JJ
Also take a look at those predictions: http://forums.sherdog.com/threads/predict-2016-ufc-champions.2941663/ http://forums.sherdog.com/threads/w...their-titles-by-the-end-of-2016-poll.3149149/ There were some good choices, many predicted Werdum, Rockhold and McGregor winning titles.
