PREDICTIONS FOR UFC CHAMPIONS AUG 2010

Post your predictions here for UFC Champions in August 2010

Heavyweight - Junior Dos Santos
Light Heavy Weight - Lyoto Machida
Middleweight - Nate Marquardt
Welterweight - GSP
Lightweight - Gray Maynard

I think Dos Santos will beat Carwin and get a shot at Brock. Don't know if its more hope than belief that Dos Santos will dethrone Lesnar!!
Can't see anyone beating Machida if he gets past Shogun
Once the Spider steps down I think Nate will put his stamp on the middleweight divison
Maybe a strange choice but as Maynard is such a big Lightweight I think he will use his wrestling skills to grind out UD against the rest of the top Lightweights. He'll be a boring champ but I think he'll get there. Not sure BJ will still be fighting in a year.

Nice topic.

HW: Junior Dos Santos- I feel like this kid has a lot of talent with awesome KO power, capable of KOing any HW and a good ground game. Hard to beat Lesner but one mistake and he will b seeing stars.

LHW: Rich Franklin-Because he is my second favourite fighter , Honestly I think its between Shogun and Machida right now, whoever wins should hold that belt for some time. Give him a little bit more time though and I think Ryan Bader will be a real force in the division, he has everything. He is like a LHW version of Lesner, huge, fast, athletic, top class wrestling and better striking and submission.

MW: Nate Martquardt-Again one of my favourite fighters but I feel like when Silva steps down, no one is better equipped to win the belt than this man right here. He has so many tools to his game, he is big, fast and an excellent training camp. Henderson will be in the mix as well and possibly Vitor Befort.

WW: GSP-My favourite fighter and because he is heads and shoulders above the rest of the WW division. I could see guys like Johnson challenging but not beating GSP. Maybe the UFC will sign Shields and Diaz by the but again I can't them beating GSP.

LW: Diego Sanchez- A very talented well-rounded fighter who has so many tools. I think his grappling skills will help him beat wrestlers like Maynard and Griffin by subbing them. Maynard has been subbed before by Nate Diaz on TUF 5 and Sanchez has better subs than Diaz. This is a hard one to pick because there are so many possibilities. Sanchez, Guida, Maynard, Griffin, Edgar, Sherk, Miller, Diaz, Kenflo, Stevenson or Lauzon. Then you have to think if the UFC will sign anyone else, maybe Alvarez, Aoki or Hellboy. So many possibilities. At the end of the day BJ could remain the champion for another year.

HW:Kimbo
LHW:Houston Alexander
MW:Bisping
WW:Matt Hughes
LW:Sean Sherk

no just messing with the first post

HW:Cain Velazquez
LHW:Machida
MW:Marquardt
WW:GSP
LW:Sanchez/Maynard

HW: I think it will be still Brock only other man i think could be Champ round then is Carwin if he beats Lesnar.

LHW: If Shogun is back to 05' form then i can not see why it wouldn't be him providing he beats Machida who i feel will be still champ can not really think who will trouble him.

MW: If Anderson isn't hiding behind his belt fighting mediocre strikers at LHW i'm going with Belfort on a run to the Title starting tonight in beating Franklin.

WW : GSP all the way unless someone pulls another Serra on him.

LW : Penn all day long no one is on his level at LW.
