How about we play who will have the strap in 2016

Fly : Johnson - Johnson
Bantam Dilishaw - Cruz
Feather – McGregor – McGregor (Holloway if they make him vacate )
Light- Dos Anjos - Nurmagomedov
Welter Lawler – MacDonald
Middle –Rockhold – Rockhold
Light Heavy – Cormier – Jones
Heavy Werdum – Overeem

Just call me MysticMeg ... I call these things

Good on him for trying it out though. But yeah, I cant see him doing that well.

There must be some inbuilt muscle memory from Wrestling to pull punches and stuff.

I did a bit training awhile ago then got a reasonably serious injury, when I was training occasionally I would have a nightmare that I was actually in a tournament and was just about to get ****ed up badly .. I am sure CM punk will be ****ting himself ... he has zero background in fighting ... hes trained under a Gracie in BJJ and knows some Kempo ... thats not going to get him very far ... Brock Lesner was an National Wrestling College Star ... wrestling is the number 1 base skill in MMA in my opinion ...as a complete newbie ... in your mid to late 30s going into a cage fight with a guy who most likely has been training all his life for this one moment does not sound like a clever move

Dana would love him to win, but unless they fix it I cant see him giving anybody much trouble ... everybody up and down the sport would be licking there chops at the prospect of fighting CM Punk

I don't think CM Punk will actually fight at this point. He's getting on a bit to make a debut now isn't he? Realistically has 18-36 months in the octagon.

Hes signed a multi fight contract ... there is too much money on the table for it not to happen ... the reality star angel sounds about right to me .. he's in a tough division ...he is most likely going to get totally ****ed

Rumours Conor vs RDA is being postponed because Conor wants more money.

[tanner]

Best of all time IMO.

Between him and Silva, but I used to love GSP.

[Nicey]

Tough one that, I thought Jones Cormier was nailed but it seems they're looking at doing it a bit earlier.

I think McGregor will definitely be there providing RDA doesn't spark him, win or lose. Probably too soon for Ronda who I think won't return until September time.

My shot in the dark

McGregor vs Edgar
Weidman vs Rockhold II
Rory McDonald vs Carlos Condit
Chad Mendes vs Max Holloway
Tony Ferguson vs Khabib

Bonus points round for CM Punk vs the kid off the Dana YouTube show.

Thats a great card

[Nicey]

So far I got ...

McGregor V Aldo 2
Holm V Rousey 2
CM Punk V Mickey Gall
Jon Jones V Cormier 2
Robbie Lawlor V Tron Woodley

[Gibbo]

Also, CroCop admitted to using HGH after being tested and his tests have come back negative! Poor bloke.

Greatest of all time

I'm assuming he means Fedor

oh

So UFC 200 ... I have a bet on with my buddy we are trying to name 5 fights ... or 10 figthers on the card ... I have to submit my card today and I have not given it any thought

Any thoughts ..

McGregor ..Holly Holm would be obvious choices but they could easily get injured in the 197
