For FW, I see Edgar or Aldo as champ.
Weidman will also win his title back.

I will translate:

"For FW I see <<Anyone who isn't called Conor McGregor>> as champ."

I see alot of people picking Khabib as LW champ. Two years ago after he beat RDA, I would have been all in. But man with his injuries I think that RDA and Ferguson have passed him by right now. I just hope he doesnt become the biggest "what if" case in mma history. Hopefully he is able to come back from these injuries but **** that has to be discouraging. Plus this layoff is crazy. Look at how Cain looked in his last fight. Yeah yeah altitude and all that but I believe the layoff is what ****** him the most. Werdum stayed healthy and fought all the top guys and beat them. 

I think the same can be said for RDA at this point. He put his head down and worked harder. I dont think Khabib touches him RIGHT NOW. That's not to say that he cant regain his old form. He is only 27 but he has alot of competion (especially grappling which is tough on the joints) under his belt. I hate seeing promising young fighters held back by injuries. It was the same with T.J. Grant (except his was one catastrophic incident). I don't even know if you could safely book Khabib for a title shot due to his injury history.

Hw- Arlovski

LHW- Jones

MW- Rockhold

WW- Woodley

LW- Khabib

FW- Edgar ( his constant pressure would overwhelm Mcgregor)

BW- Dillashaw

FW- MM ( only someone who has a chance is Cejudo but I just don't see his striking being up to par like MM is)

WBW- Holm

WSW- JOANNA

I've been a huge Tony Ferguson fan since his days on TUF but he cannot be the lightweight champion. Conor McGregor would ******* toast him, no offense to the dude.
