Of all the number one contenders, who will win the belt?

[marksmen]

A lot of good title fights coming and to be made. Of all the title fights coming this year, which challenger(s) will dethrone the champ?

Stipe vs Ngannou
Bobby vs Rockhold
DC vs Volkan
Woodley vs RDA
Max vs Edgar
TJ vs Rivera/Moraes/Raphael/Cruz/Cody
DJ vs Cejudo 2
Conor vs Tony
Tony vs Khabib

I think Khabib beats Tony and Tony beats Conor. I'm picking the Champ in the rest, but it's tough. Thoughts?

[SeaLevelMizugaki]

RDA ww champ 2018

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Stipe
Rockhold
DC
Woodley
Edgar
TJ
Cejudo 2
Tony
Khabib

 

[calisoul]

RDA and Khabib are sure bets. HW can go either way. DC takes it. DJ will not loose. Edgar loses a a good fight decision. Not commenting on Conor because I dont anticipate him coming back soon. He is set for life.

 

[Michael Wetzel]

Ngannou has the best chance. Whittaker-Rockhold and Dillashaw-Cruz/Cody are 50:50. Conor won't fight. The other champs are fairly safe.

 

[Rdude92]

Ngannou for HW.
DC (don't see anyone beating him except Jones)
MW is all up for grabs. Imgonna be biased here: Rockhold.
WW: Till
LW: Khabib
FW: Ortega
BW: TJ will hold it
Lower than that: who carez

 

[Omega Man]

Stipe has the best chance to lose his belt.

 

[Duck Dodgers]

Rockhold, RDA, and Khabib. The least likely is Cejudo over DJ.

 

[BA0701]

If Francis connects clean with any living human being, especially with 4oz gloves, it's nap time, period. Stipe has come a long way, but he absolutely has got to get inside, and in doing so pass through the danger zone. If anyone in the division can, I believe it is Stipe, but it is a tall order for anyone. I believe Francis is the most dangerous opponent in the UFC. He is the real life "head clean off" fighter.
