Forgot Khabib.  Won't be surprised if he beats Dos Anjos.

i dont think derrick lewis can keep up with the big guys on the ground. LOVE the black beast though VERY profitable. fun to watch when he blows through a guys arms and knocks him out anyways. one of the best

Found this thread.  Year and a half ago.  Let's see how I did.


Flyweight: Not sure if anyone can touch Demetrious in division.  I'm a big fan of Louis Smolka, though.

-Was dead wrong on Smolka since he has lost 4 in a row and just looks horrible in the division now.  Demetrius still on top of the throne.


Bantamweight: Cody Garbrandt, Jimmie Rivera

-Cody wasn't champ yet, so I was right on this one, but now TJ has the title and Rivera is lurking, but don't think he will be champion.

Featherweight: Max Holloway, Yair Rodriguez

-Nailed Holloway and Yair is still up and coming.

Lightweight: Tony Ferguson, James Vick

-Nailed Tony and Vick on a nice streak.

Welterweight: Stephen Thompson, Tom Breese

-Thompson couldn't get it done and still not done with Breese.

Middleweight: Jacare Souza, Robert Whittaker

-Nailed Whittaker and pretty funny that he actually beat Jacare.

Light Heavyweight: Daniel Cormier

-DC still champ regardless of Jones controversy.

Heavweight: Francis Ngannou, Derrick Lewis

-Let's see if Francis can get the job done!

Women's Strawweight: Claudia Gadelha, Rose Namajunas

-Nailed Rose.  Gadelha can get back up there in no time.

Women's Bantamweight: Cat Zingano, Amanda Nunes

-Nailed Nunes.  Zingano, not so much.


Pretty nice predictions for a year and a half ago.  I am going to make another one of these either today or tomorrow for future champions.
