Champions 2017 edition

[Valhoven]

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.

Nice pull, mate.

The greatest variation I'm seeing are Sherdictions on who the Featherweight and Middleweight champions will be.

Current standings:

FW King: Aldo

Hungry warriors crown-wanting:

1 Max Holloway (Interim Champion)

2 Frankie Edgar

3 Ricardo Lamas

4 Cub Swanson

5 Jeremy Stephens

(Some might want McGregor thrown in amongst these)

- - -

MW King: Bisping

Spoiler

Hungry warriors crown-wanting:

1 Yoel Romero

2 Luke Rockhold

3 Jacare Souza

4 Chris Weidman

5 Gegard Mousasi

(Some might want Gastelum and/or Whittaker thrown in amongst these)

Any dawgs see these two classes as definitively the most competitive right now? 2017 MW seems akin to death row, TBH.

 

[MTL]

MW: Weidman

 

[Bucleaphus]

I don't make predictions, but if I have to guess Yoel Romero beats Bisping for the belt.

I'll be honest with you; it already has. Cinderella story, really. Got to appreciate that.

Any fan of Dom is a friend of mine. I like the HW revision given recent events - good looking out.

JDS, Stipe holding and up-and-comer Ngannou seem pretty popular choices with Cain out of the picture.
