Your Time is Up Champ

Last year at this time we had different HW and LW champs...who's going to have the most trouble holding onto their belt this year? Here's my opinion (difficulty scale 1-10 with 10 being the most difficult) did not factor in super fights only belt defenses

HW CHAMP - Cain
Overeem (If victory over Bigfoot)
JDS (If victory over contender)
Difficulty - 9
Prediction - loses belt to Alistair Overeem

LHW CHAMP - Jon Jones
UFC 159 vs Chael Sonnen
Machida vs Henderson winner
Difficulty - 4
Prediction - holds onto belt

MW CHAMP - Anderson Silva
Bisping (If victory of Belfort)
Rockhold (unification bout) or Weidman
Difficulty - 6
Prediction - Holds onto belt

WW CHAMP - Georges St. Pierre
UFC 158 vs Nick Diaz
Johnny Hendricks (If victory over Ellenberger)
Nate Marquardt (unification bout)
Difficulty - 10
Prediction - Holds onto belt (very tough year for GSP)

LW CHAMP - Benson Henderson
Pettis vs Cerronne winner???
Gilbert Melendez (unification bout)
Difficulty - 7
Prediction - holds onto belt

FW CHAMP - Jose Aldo
UFC 156 - Frankie Edgar
Lamas vs Koch winner
Difficulty - 9
Prediction - holds onto belt

BW CHAMP - Dominick Cruz
Barao vs McDonald winner
Difficulty - 9
Prediction - loses belt to Renan Barao

FLW CHAMP - Demetrious Johnson
UFC on FOX 6 - John Dodson
Benavidez vs McCall winner???
Difficulty - 8
Prediction - holds onto belt

 

way off on a couple there

 

I love how you have Benson facing a fighter who is the last man to beat him as one of the easier matchups

 

Elaborate

 

you have GSP having a "10" difficulty level of keeping his belt...more like 6 or 7 tops...no way is Silva at 6...should be 4...

 

look at his sig. hes a nut hug

 

I think Johny is trouble along with Nate..no lower than 8

 

it says he's fans of both gsp and anderson.

 

I agree but he will Koscheck Johnny and handle Nate no probs

 

GSP is going to have an easy year.

Diaz has nothing for him, and Hendricks is going to get jabbed for 25 minutes.

Marquardt is a beast, but I think GSP beats him and don't think he'll get a shot unless Hendricks loses anyway.

Also, Pettis is taking Bendo's belt away again.

 

Why not make Silva -7, and GSP 0, this entire thread is subjective.

 

Yup i see gsp either jabbing hendricks to death or wall and stalling him until he no longer can throw that big left with the same heat.

 

Am I the only one who doesn't see Bar

 

Jose Aldo loses belt to Edgar

 

Thank you Ms. Sidle.

 

IMO, Cain spits out overeem like a turd that won't come out his ass.

 

there is no way overeem beats cain

 

I think Cain beats Overeem easy.

 

Idk..Werdum did get Reem down on his back during one of his many attempts in that fight. And we all now Cains wrestling is wayyyyyyyyy better than Werdums. IMO it's all about where the fight takes place. Overeem won't lose if be can stay on his feet, I know it's a somewhat big "if" though.

 

overrem will brake once he will have to deal with cains pace
