UFC Champions by the end of 2011

[Dademo]

Just am interested to see who you guys think will be the champions in each division by the end of the year. Although it's still early, we can still predict.

HW: Alistair Overeem (Yeah I said it)
LHW: Jon Jones
MW: Anderson Silva
WW: Jon Fitch
LW: Anthony Pettis
FW: Jose Aldo
BW: Urijah Faber

HW: For my reasoning. I say Overeem wins the Strikeforce HW GP ending in the Summer. He makes his way to the UFC and immediately gets a title shot against who I think will be the current champ being Cain. Overeem wins. This will be in Nov/Dec

LHW: I think Jones beats Shogun, and defends against Rampage and possibly another contender like Machida again or maybe even Couture or Forrest Griffin

MW: I think Silva beats GSP, and then beats Okami to end the year.

WW: GSP will move up to MW and lose to Silva, but then wins a fight at MW. He then decides whether he fights Silva again or drops back down to WW. So while he's gone, Jon Fitch takes the strap.

LW: Anthony Pettis beats Guida and then beats Edgar/Maynard winner and fights Jim Miller in early 2012

FW: Aldo successfully defends against Hominick and Mendes and defends again in Spring 2012 against maybe KenFlo who has dropped down.

BW: Cruz fights Faber/Wineland winner who I think will be Faber. Faber wins and Cruz/Faber will be TUF 14. They fight in Dec and Faber takes the strap.

Obviously these are just predictions. What do you think?

HW: Sticking with Cain. I think he has the tools in his arsenal to beat JDS, should he face him, and obviously has the ability to beat Lesnar again.

LHW: I too think Jones beats Shogun. He would probably defend the strap in the summer and if he prevails, fight again early next year. As such, I've got to back Jones.

MW: I'm torn between GSP and Silva. I think a Silva KO victory is a huge possibility, as is GSP controlling Silva with his wrestling. I'm going to say Silva (I'm done doubting that dude).

WW: Jon freaking Fitch.

LW: Maynard. Can see him beating Edgar third time round and defending the strap.

FW: Aldo.

BW: Cruz.

HW: Seeing as Cain has one feasible fight this year, and the two opponents are either Brock or JDS, I still think Cain is going to keep the belt.

LHW: Rampage, why not? No one seems to be able to defend that title since he got cheated out of it.

MW: Going to go with GSP on this one. Anderson is the greatest UFC fighter of all time, but GSP is the great neutralizer.

WW: Fitch, will finally get his due.

LW: The Bully is going to run 155 for awhile.

FW: Aldo, don't see Hominick beating him, even though I would mark like a motherfucker if he did. Next year would be Frankie Edgar.

BW: Cruz, who else is there?
