[CPH]

Jorge agrees to a colby fight

Islam makes easy work of Dariush and the winner of Olives/Gaethje.

Some welterweights want to fight Islam

Chimaev loses to a top welterweight like Vicente or Burns

Gane beats Jones and Ngannou back to back

This look?

 

[MarleyLynx]

Conor Mcgregor puts on an Alvarez style performance against Gaethje.

 

[Azyy]

• Cejudo loses his return fight
• Colby gets finished (most likely submitted) by Burns or Luque
• Aljo beats Yan by a controversial 48-47, pressuring him again in rounds 1-3 - but smarter this time - and surviving rounds 4-5.

new champs in every division

 

[Oz.Pride]

HW - Gane - Beats NG and for some reason Miocic who's given a title shot because Dana said he could. Ducks Shooeyvasa's callouts after Aussie legend KO's Black Beast then shocks the world by removing the sweaty cup from the shorts of Beasts corpse, has a beer thrown in to him and introduces the world to the first ever "Cuppy" starting an even more disgusting yet irresistible craze.

LHW - Jones - Loses HW fight in brutal fashion. Is laughed out of the Octagon. Genuinely gives up drugs and alcohol, decides to focus on building a legacy then comes back to LHW to destroy whoever has the belt then defends twice more.

MW - Whittaker - Beats then shockingly retires Izzy who has taken an offer to compete in PFL and leaves for the money. Defends a couple of wars including possibly derailing Chimaev next December. Ends as Champion and widely accepted as the #2 GOAT MW only behind Anderson.

WW - Chimaev - ragdolls whoever is next then KTFO's Usman faster than Conor did Aldo, defends vs Colby and Edwards in equally devastating fashion then challenges Whittaker for the superfight of the year at MW eventually getting his first loss to Whittaker in fight of the decade. Moves back to WW where everyone refuses to fight him accept Conor, which Dana refuses to book.

LW - Oliveira - continues to shock the world with a couple of defences then takes a breather to close out the year

FW - Volkanovski - defends two or three times and can't be beaten. Cements his place as UFC FW GOAT - issues unanswered challenge to Oliveira who accepts but Dana refuses to book

BW - Yan - Crushes Sterling in nasty rematch, including a knee KO determined to be legal this time. Defends twice. Shatters dreams.

FLW - Kara-France - gets a chance as a late replacement and KTFO's the champ then does it again vs Askarov after that Degascrandi misses weight but KKF fights him and KO's him anyway

 

[Oz.Pride]

• Cejudo loses his return fight
• Colby gets finished (most likely submitted) by Burns or Luque
• Aljo beats Yan by a controversial 48-47, pressuring him again in rounds 1-3 - but smarter this time - and surviving rounds 4-5.

Jon Jones loses to the entire hw by forfeit via never fighting there… or he just loses any of his hw fight attempts if he does fight again

 

[Midget Boxer]

Thanks

Mods will just delete this thread when we bump it a year later to check whose predictions came true. Kind of makes this whole exercise pointless.

I bumped the 2021 thread and it was deleted very quickly.

@Zebra Cheeks whats up with that?

Look at what happened to Marx.. a man who can predict the future is a man with immense power.

 

[Joss]

This look?

Yup

 

[BoD 2.0]

Khabib comes back!

 

[Papa Doc]

GSP fights Conor.

 

[RageQuitLord]

Khamzat KO's Usman.

I just want to see someone take Usman down first lol

 

[StonedLemur]

No easy stuff, I want some real predictions that are not obvious, and your reasoning.

Me: Sean O'Malley becomes champ.

 

[mjfan23]

Khazmat will lose unfortunately.


He will lose his patience that is, with all these Ducks and attack Usman or Izzy in their Dojos

 

[StonedLemur]

Tony moves to WW and restores himself and slices Diaz to pieces, and then beats Edwards by decision, and then fights Usman in december 2022 for the belt

Now that would be fuckin awesome... you're a dreamer, I like that about you
