Elsalvajeloco Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Once again, congrats to grizzlyedwin for winning this year's contest. However, his winning predictions have led to reform in the rules of the contest. RULES: You get five predictions. Your five predictions must be different from everyone else. In the case of someone posting duplicates, whoever posted it first will get it. Can't be super vague. (ex. a UFC belt will only be defended twice. However, the UFC middleweight title will switch hands twice is acceptable.) I am not going to try to figure out what you mean. Although this doesn't reflect my attitude on last year's predictions (trial-and-error), we're going to automatically disqualify predictions of events that are pretty much a foregone conclusion. Examples would be: - UFC will go to court - Jon Jones/Daniel Cormier will fight Alexander Gustafsson for the UFC light heavyweight title - A UFC show will be canceled/postponed/delayed/moved Basically, X will fight Y who we already know is lined up to fight for a title anyway. I will let you know if you posted something like that. Lets avoid that because it's boring TBH. Remember, I will generally side with the more specific ones. First one to three or the closest to three wins. The tiebreak, if needed, will be the UFC champions on December 20, 2015 (the day after the last UFC event of the calendar year). No two people can have the exact same champions at the end of the year. If the UFC moves an event to a later date, it will be the champions the day after that specific event. HW (265lbs):LHW (205lbs):MW (185lbs):WW (170lbs):LW (155lbs):FW (145lbs):BW (135lbs):FlyW (125lbs):Womens BW (135lbs): Womens StrawW (115lbs): I will close the thread and save the predictions to a Word file once the FS1 prelims for UFC 181: Jones vs. Cormier begin. So that's January 3 at 7:00 p.m. CST. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Mayweather vs. Pacquiao happens and Showtime & HBO have dual broadcasts much like Lewis vs. Tyson in 2002. Brock Lesnar has at least one MMA win in 2015 after his WWE contract ends in April. A top female fighter (ranked in the top 5 at 115, 135, or 145) will fail a drug test. Ben Askren will leave One FC and sign with the UFC at some point. Fox will get another title fight (undisputed or interim) above featherweight on one of its four shows. TIEBREAK (UFC champions on December 20, 2015) HW (265lbs): Cain Velasquez LHW (205lbs): Jon Jones MW (185lbs): Lyoto Machida WW (170lbs): Johny Hendricks LW (155lbs): Khabib Nurmagomedov FW (145lbs): Jose Aldo BW (135lbs): Renan Barao FlyW (125lbs): Demetrious Johnson Womens BW (135lbs): Ronda Rousey Womens StrawW (115lbs): Carla Esparza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epwar Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 1. Brock Lesnar won't come back to MMA. 2. Nate Diaz will have another extended layoff not due to injury. 3. Nick Diaz will lose his fight against Anderson Silva; he'll be rewarded with a title fight at Welterweight. 4. Khabib will beat Pettis for the belt by unanimous decision; Zuffa will book an immediate rematch. 5. Chael Sonnen will return to UFC Tonight.

Hail Sabin Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I heard your call! 1. A new Straw weight champion will be crowned this year (If that's not good enough then Joanne Calderwood will win the title). 2. A Ronda Rousey title fight will make it to the 4th round. 3. GSP will return in the UFC in 2015 4. Conor Mcgregor will win the featherweight title. 5. Phil Brooks will win his UFC debut this year HW (265lbs): Cain VelasquezLHW (205lbs): Jon JonesMW (185lbs): Chris WeidmanWW (170lbs): GSPLW (155lbs): Anthony PettisFW (145lbs): Conor McgregorBW (135lbs): Renan BaraoFlyW (125lbs): Demetrious JohnsonWomens BW (135lbs): Ronda Rousey Womens StrawW (115lbs): Joanne Calderwood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 WOOO! I won't get shutout this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Since Hail Sabin and I got two predictions right on the nose, we will go to tiebreakers. In the tiebreaker, Hail Sabin wins seeing as he got two champions correct. Congrats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
