Yeah. Volk should fight ilia, and evloev should fight Lopes. The winner of each fight should fight each other. Also, Mosvar has more quality wins than Lopes, so he should be next in line to fight Ilia or Volk if Ilia and Volk dont fight each other. Thus, at the VERY LEAST, Movsar should have been mentioned.

You forgot about Buckley in the welterweight division. He’s excited, fans love him, and he’s on a tear right now. I wouldn’t be surprised if he skipped some of these fighters with 1 or 2 more wins. Plus he’s very active & the UFC loves that
Pantoja is the #1 P4P in the UFC. He has already shown it; no one else matches his achievements in the P4P figths, he cleaned the division 3 times, how can he not be the best P4P? Crazy.
And he has a crazy high chance of beating Topuria by decision. Topuria gave up rounds against Alex and Max just waiting for his KO shot, but if he doesn’t find it? If he gets taken down and held down? Bryce took him down pretty easily..
Diego might have a good chance depending on the size difference with Topuria. He looked huge against Ortega. His back was enormous, his shoulders were wide, and he looked like he could easily be a good size lightweight.
@ yeah I almost wrong he looked a couple weight classes above Ortega, but it’s a big jump from 155-170. He wouldn’t look very good standing across from Usman, Garry or Shavkat 😂
If Tom loses to Jon that will be one of the biggest bag fumbles low key cause he has all the advantages except experience lol. He can really become a superstar here. He still can if he loses but def not on the level he could have been.
I don't think so. If he loses to Jon, he's in the same spot as everyone else; he lost to one of the best fighters in UFC history (asterisk for PED's). Tom is a physically imposing, but a lot of what he does is unknown. He's knocked out a lot of people FAST, but he hasn't fought anyone on the level of Jones.
6:47 wrong! I’ve seen the future, Arman beats Islam by KO and Charles fights Arman for the belt since their fight was debatable and Charles gets his belt back. The champ has a name and is 🦁🇧🇷
Obviously there’s no reason why this fight would happen with the current state of their divisions but Pereira vs Gane is so much more intriguing than Pereira vs Jones or Aspinall.
I don't think he fights for the belt yet. The belt usually gets fought for once or twice a year. First will be Belal vs Shavkat then Islam moves or Leon's fight winner gets the title shot.
Champ what’s your background? You are one of the most talented/knowledgeable creators but I don’t know much about you. Have you trained coached before?
I had a crazy ass dream last night. I dreamt that Jones vs Aspinall happened and Aspinall was just too fast for Jones. He was lighting him up with ease. He dropped Jones with a straight right and Jones was hurt badly. Aspinall tries to finish on the ground, Jones somehow recovers and gets his back and submitted him via rear naked choke. Jones celebrated then retired during the post fight interview 💀
It's weird to me that weasle glazes Illia so much. Yeah, he beat Volk and Max, but Volk got KO'd by Islam not too long ago and the fight with Max was highly competitive til the ko. He didn't utterly outclass Max like Volk did in the trilogy, he was getting hit a lot.
Ah yes but you forgot about DJ training Death Sentence. I agree it not likely he'll have time to enter UFC and beat ALL the champions in 25, but he should be 100% at least in half the weightclasses.
did you know guys that this THeweasle channel has the 9th longest losing streak of all the predictions channels around the world in 2024?......this gentlemen should really consider another carrer...dont waste you money following this...happy new year....
It'd not based on who has the best chance to beat the champion, it's based on who will most likely be the champ. Ian Garry is good but I don't think he fights for the belt yet.
Jones has the upper hand against Aspinall, Perreria, Ankalayav And Gann. fights between the challengers would be great to see, as it would stack them up as ranked contenders to fight Jones but Jon would most likely retire before fighting anyone except Aspinall.
Tatsuro Taira becomes japans first ufc champ, Umar Nurmagomedov, Illia Topuria stays champ, Islam stays champ, in welterweight either JDM or Shavkat, Middleweight Khamzat, Ankalaev, and Aspinall becomes undisputed heavyweight champion
@@NoSc0pe78yearsago Belal had his shine but reality is that he’s getting old. He might be the welterweight version of Volkonavski as he peaked later in his career and was eventually dethroned by a younger challenger
I would of put Prataz in there at welterweight. I think he beats anyone of those 7 but I get why you didnt, he probably needs 2 fights before he gets a shot and might not get that shot until 2026
I'd like to see JDM at 180- later in his career, before he leaves his prime, his boxing has the potential to cause some problems, how do you personally think JDM would do against the top strikers in the division? i.e Whittaker-Adesanya-Strickland-DDP
I wonder if Ciryl Gane could make 205 if he changed up his diet and cut weight. Obviously right now it’s moot because Gane is going to get a title shot (interim, what a joke) vs Aspinall unless something miraculous happens and Dana can set Jones vs Aspinall. At 205 Gane would not only be a contender but there would be a lot of fun matchups for him in the division. Alex, Jamahal Hill, Jiri, Rakic and more.
Imagine JDM wins against usman & brady wins against leon lol we literally had a #1 contender match on international fight week of 2022 they were matched up lmfao
What do you think the chances that Umar Usman Khabibs cousin and if Belal losses and Islam moves up that 3 from there are champs and were do you think Usman from Belator PFL would be if all that happened it would be ruff but could be the path?
HW, LHW champion -- GOATAN MW -- Khamzat WW -- Islam LW & FW -- Illia (but will abandon it by the end of the year) BW -- Merab FlW-- Pantoja Women -- Kayla, Zhang Wei Li to hold 2 belts.
