Who do you think the UFC champs in 5 years will be alot of guys are aging and the talent is only getting deeper so who will it be?
I say
LW- Dont see Penn holding on that long so its a toss up but possibly Diego, Diaz, or Cerrone comes over from WEC
WW- GSP most likely wont make it that long and like LW its a toss up Fitch or Alves maybe Gunnar Nelson gets some more fights and cleans up by then.
MW- Anderson will be off boxing RJJ well before 5 years so I gotta say Nate Marq. maybe Vitor but hes got miles on him too.
LHW- Bader
HW- Duffee
Tyson Griffin
Ryase - 5 years? People we've yet to hear about.
This^, and I like Cerrone but he better work on his takedown defense if he ever wants to be champ in the UFC.
Five years is a loooong time in a evolving sport like MMA. None of the top fighters of today will be champs in five years imo.
Brock Lesnar.
Bader is definitely a good prediction. The guy has so much more than just wrestling, and he's still new to the sport.
Ryase - 5 years? People we've yet to hear about.
Bader is a solid choice
Ryase, you just proved Irule correct.
"looking back, many of the champs back then are top fighters or champs today"
Out of the 7 guys you named.....5 are still relavent today.
1 fighter unfortunately passed away (tanner), 2 fighters have title shots coming up (vitor,bj), 1 fighter has an upcoming main event fight (couture), and 2 fighters have upcoming co-main event fights (hughes,mir)
