Realistic:

FW - McGregor
BW - Cruz
FLW - Mighty Mouse

WW - Lawler
LW - Pettis (Gil has a good shot IMO)
FW - McGregor
BW - Cruz
FLW - Horiguchi
WBW - Rousey (If Cat doesn't beat her she will shatter records)
WSW - Tecia Torres
Tough choice in the WSW division.
10.28.2014 | 8:39 AM ET
LHW - Cormier

Women's SW - Esparza

WW | Rory MacDonald
LW | Nate Diaz
FW | Frankie Edgar
BW | Dominick Cruz
FLW | Ian McCall
WBW | Holly Holm
WSW | Tecia Torres
... Im Surprised That So Many People Picked McGregor, He's Good But We Haven't Seen Him In There With An Truly Elite Fighter Like Mendes, Swanson, Or Edgar. Dustin Poirier And Dennis Siver Are Probably The Only 2 Guys He Can Beat In The Top Ten.
10.28.2014 | 10:07 AM ET
HW- JDS (Cain gets injured again and he ko's Werdum for the title)
LHW- Cormier
MW- Machida (I actually like him in a rematch with Weidman)
WW- Lawler
LW- Nurmagomedov
FW- Mendes (McGregor beats Aldo then Mendes beats McGregor)
BW- Cruz
FLW- DJ

10.28.2014 | 11:16 AM ET
HW: Cain Velasquez- Good chin, great cardio. Don't think Werdum/Hunt/JDS/Miocic can beat him
LHW: Alexander Gustafsson- Think he can beat Cormier and/or Jones
MW: Chris Weidman
WW: Johny Hendricks (can also see Lawler)
LW: Gilbert Melendez
FW: Aldo- Too far ahead of the curve
BW: Cruz regains the title
FlyW: No one's beating DJ anytime soon
WBW: Ronda
WSW: Penne- picking the dark horse here
10.28.2014 | 11:39 AM ET
Light Heavyweight - DC (I can see him go all the way with this, he throws bombs and can wrestle**** anyone)
Middleweight - The Dragon (As much as I want belfort I can't really go for it after him missing the entire 2014 year)
Welterweight - Ruthless Robbie Lawler (him being so active during 2014 makes me think he takes it and keeps it)
Lightweight - Gilbert Melendez (all though, I really want to see Cerrone vs Aldo fight for the contenders spot)
Featherweight - Conor McGregor (nothing stops this train, nothing)
Bantamweight - Dom Cruz (He has the fire again, I want to see him back it up against the "Alpha Fails")
Flyweight - Mighty Mouse (MM keeps on MM)
WBW - Rousey unless she keeps her plan on retiring on her 4th year, then she retires with the belt

Great topic.
HW - Cain or JDS (I think they are head and shoulders above the rest of the division, yes even Werdum)
LHW - Bones (Maybe DC can take him out, but I don't think anyone else in the division will)
MW - Weidman (Machida was his biggest threat, and Chris handled him.)
WW - Lombard (He's 36 now, if he's going to make a run it's got to be soon)
LW - Nurmagomedov (If he can stay healthy, he could be atop this division for quite a while.)
FW - Aldo (Unless he decides to move up to 155, I don't see Conor beating him)
BW - Cruz (goddamn I forgot how beastly he is)
FLW - MM (Maybe if Horiguchi keeps improving, but Johnson is sooooo good.)
WBW - Honda Housey (Unless she decides to "retire" and pursue acting)
SW - Esparza (As much as I'd love JoJo or my girl Justine Kish to be the champ, I think Esparza's wrestling will put her atop the division)
