    Shogun to beat Machida by Decision and win the title

    Belfort to beat Anderson Silva bt KO and win the title

    Nate Marquardt to get a shot at the title after looking unstoppable

    Gonzaga to work his way back into the top heavys, Maby up to a fight with Cain or JDS

    Matt Hughes into the HOF

    Penn to continue to look as Dominant starting with Edgar and talk of a GSP rematch will begin

    Liddell to retire

    Melendez to fight Aoki get tapped! Very Happy

    Seth P. to rematch Kimbo in a closer fight this time!!!

    GSP becomes UFC's new P4p best fighter (ie the guy they say is better than Fedor) after going undefeated in 2010

    Jacare will get his title shot

    Hendo will Smash Shields

    Mousasi will only defend his title once, and take up boxign as rumoured

    Fedor to fight and put a beating on both Werdum and Overeem in 2010

    Barnett to return to MMA action

    Arlovski to get back on track with a couple of wins.

    Zaromskis vs Diaz to be fight of the year! Very Happy

    On and I dont think it will happen in 2010 but if it does GSP will batter Anderson Silva and look good doing it! But I dont think it will go ahead in 2010, I do think GSP will finally be recognised as best UFC fighrer.

    Some very interesting predictions from you all there, please keep them coming.

    I'm intrigued to see others here, predicting UFC to strenghten their LW division, i think they have to, even if BJ moves up to WW full time. Alvarez and Gomi are obvious choices. I'm not sure on Aoki fighting BJ or even joining UFC this year, i think him and Strikeforce is a done deal.

    Also with regards to retirements, i think Chuck will retire this year regardless of his result with Tito. Tito i think will still be in UFC in 2011. Randy still has 5 fights in his contract and he is still very competitive. (Vera is a tough LHW and he beat him). I think Coleman will retire.


    As far as other signings, im hopefull on Mousasi joining UFC when his contract expires. Bret Rogers probably will join UFC in the future if he gets 1 or 2 more wins under his belt.


    And i would like to add Bader and Duffee cracking the top 10 in their divisions respectively.

    I might have a crack at this....

    Rua will beat Machida in another contentious decision, leading to Shogun-Machida 3, which ends up being the best fight of the year, with a clear winner.

    BJ Penn to remain dominant and put the UFC under pressure to find him some competition at 155lb or he will leave or fuck around fighting at higher weight classes.

    Brock Lesnar will not be UFC Heavyweight champ by the end of the year.

    Fedor vs Overeem will not happen.

    GSP to remain UFC champ but won't fight Anderson Silva.

    Anderson Silva to lose a fight this year, if not to Vitor, then to Nate Marquandt in the next defence.

    A consortium of Arab businessmen, after seeing the financial success of the UFC and being keen fight fans, set up their own promotion in Abu Dhabi, luring all the big names in with very lucrative contracts. All the major names and the top 10 fighters in all weight divisions sign up, except Fedor Rolling Eyes . M-1 again insist on co-promotion which leads the Arabs to tell them to fuck off.

    Strikeforce will continue to grow as an organisation and becomes a true rival to the UFC in terms of the quality of the fighters and the fights they put on.

    My 4 year old daughter will submit my 11 year old son by strikes after hammer fisting the bridge of his nose after transitioning to mount.....

    Happy New Year everyone!!

    If you are a betting man go with the opposite i say Very Happy

    Fedor beats Werdum and Alistair "Natural" Overeem in Strikeforce.

    BJ reigns supreme at LW

    Lesnar vs Mir III happens and sets a PPV record.

    Gomi gets humbled by a mid tier LW Sad

    Strikeforce Miami will go down as the greatest MMA Card of the year thanks to two awesome wars between Diaz vs Whitemare & Manhoef vs Lawler.

    Sengoku go under.

    Mousasi ends up in the UFC (Fuck M-1 !)

    Minowaman taps out Lesnar.

    Belfort KO's Silva in the 1st and shatters Dana's heart and man crush on his imaginary P4P No 1 then GSP dry humps Silva in style to a Decision.

    Liddell stops Tito and doesn't retire.

    Dream continue to produce awesome cards and sadly no UK channel will pick them up (come on Eurosport you used to show Hero's it's the same fucking promotion and stop showing fucking table football !)

    Jake Sheilds gets Bisping'd on the net after Hendo sends him to sleep.

    They will be 2 new LHW champions in the UFC.

    Jose Aldo kills every Feather weight then moves up to 155.

    And Robots will take over the world but shortly dethroned by the Meercats Cool
