Who do you see becoming World Champion in their divisions before they retire?
I without a doubt see Matt Hamill winning the Light Heavyweight title, and I could see him winning it pretty soon. One of the best fighters today. I also see Stefan Struve being a tough competitor and he could one day be champion. Then there is Jon Jones. Anyways, what about you?

Matt Hamill is an interesting choice. IMO he gets destroyed by any of the top tier LHW's who are good strikers..
my choices are...
Heavyweight- JDS
Light Heavyweight- Jon Jones
Middleweight- Nate Marquardt, Chris Leben
Welterweight- Josh Koscheck, Chris Lytle, Carlos Condit
Lightweight- Jose Aldo, Kenny Florian

No way Hamill is a future world champ. As said above, I see him getting dominated by any of the top contenders. I can't say alot for sure, but judging by what's happening now, I definately see JDS, John Jones, and Jose Aldo being world champs in the UFC.

So Matt Hamil could be a possible world champ some day. |

interesting observation but even if that is so...he will just get his ass kicked for 3 rounds..he holds his hands down to his waist...not very smart thing to do at all...I would love to see him do that against Shogun, Machida, Rampage, Evans, Thiago, etc..

Yeah that's true, but im sure he would be smart about putting his arms up when hes fighting Top guys like them. |

Hamill doesn't have a killer instinct. He won't be champion, but he is good.
I see Cain being UFC heavyweight champion for awhile, or until Alistair comes along.
Jon Jones will be LHW champion one day, just not in the near future, I think.
GSP probably won't be beaten until Diaz comes to the UFC. Other than him, I honestly think Shields has the best chance.
Anderson will retire MW champion. Eventually I see Gerald Harris winning the title if he keeps evolving like he does.
Aldo will hold the UFC Featherweight, Bantamweight and Lightweight titles all at the same time.

I also see Silva getting beat by Chael Sonnen. Silva will beat Belfort, but Sonnen IMO can beat Silva. If he will is another story, but I believe he can. |

I was going to say that Diaz wouldn't beat GSP too but I could not for the life of me, stop laughing. GSP would make Diaz look like a bitch and a whore, that's how awesome GSP is! |

That's sort of the same thing people said about Cain vs. Brock. Diaz is a lot more well-rounded than GSP and I honestly believe he can catch him in a submission. In order for this to happen though, Diaz has to train wrestling nonstop for a long period of time.

HW. No-one as I see Cain holding it for awhile.
LHW. Got to be Jon Jones, looks great so far & can see him being the next big thing
MW. Well it sure isn't going to be Belfort, his aggressive style plays right into Anderson's hands. I say marquardt who will have learned a lot from the Sonnen fight & use that as a blueprint to get the belt.
WW. I know he didn't look great against Kampmann but he'll get the weight cutting sorted & I se Shields being the guy to beat GSP.
LW. Gray Maynard, his size & bullying strength is going to see him run through Frankie for a decision win.

HW: Like I said, whoever won the belt at UFC 121 is just holding the belt for JDS.
LHW: I see Shogun holding for awhile but I think if Shogun isn't champion then Machida will be, Shogun just has his number.
MW: Anderson will retire champion.
WW: In the UFC I think Shields has the best shot at beating GSP, if Diaz where in the UFC I think he could win, him and Shields have world class BJJ(actual world class Joe Rogan).
LW: If Aldo moves up than Aldo, if not I think EVENTUALLY Penn will get it back.
FW: Aldo.
BW: Now that Faber is down there, probably him.

Dos Santos, Jon Jones, and Jose Aldo are all guarantees imo.

Technically speaking, Aldo is already the UFC Featherweight champion.

In order for this to happen though, Diaz has to train wrestling nonstop for a long period of time. I'm a big Diaz fan, but I don't think he beats GSP, man. GSP is on his own level. Diaz is, as well, but in a different way. Diaz couldn't get KJ to the ground in their last fight, and while Diaz has great cardio, GSP can go for days. Could Diaz beat GSP? Sure. But if I'm betting on it, I put the money on St. Pierre. |
