Heavyweight Predictions?

So here's what I think is gonna happen in the UFC Heavyweight division:

Werdum vs Alistair for #1 contendership, then winner of that faces Miocic

Winner of Lewis vs Hunt faces Francis Ngannou 

Then Ngannou have a fight against someone like Dos Santos or Werdum, then put him in a championship fight. I think the guy's legit.

Although I don't know if I see ANYBODY beating Miocic, dude keeps getting better and better.

I know Werdums plan is to beat Overeem, fight for the title and then retire.

Does it matter? Whomever the champ is, one way or the other, it's a placeholder. When Brock Lesnar's WWE deal is up at the end of the year he's going to come back and take whatever paper champ to SUPLEX CITY BITCH.

If Lewis beats Hunt he should get Stipe next

Lewis is just no where near ready for a title shot. He's very green yet and although he's quickly becoming one of my favorites, he's just not heavyweight champ material at this time.

Werdum/Overeem both were recently knocked out by the champ. I do't want to see either of them in there with Miocic, not so soon at least. That leaves Francis Ngannou. I wouldn't mind seeing him get his shot and when Cain returns, let him solidify the championship as legit by competing for it. Who ever is standing is unquestionably the best. Then throw Overeem and Werdum a bone each, before putting them out to pasture.

Ngannou beat Arlovski

 

Lewis beat Gonzaga, Nelson and Browne

yeah, definitely give ngannou the title shot. even though cain/miocic would be great, cain doesn't deserve it.

greentrousers - yeah, definitely give ngannou the title shot. even though cain/miocic would be great, cain doesn't deserve it.

This is true. Remember when we all complained about Cain getting gifted immediate rematches after bad losses, then tying up the division with his injuries? Now he's 1293871 dog years older, and I would dread even the prospect of a title shot without 3 or so quality wins in a row.
