i didn't have to go any further than the first post! this is exactly what i predict but if vera doesn't get a shot until next year which is likely than i say AA.

His mental state seem like hes was sayn to himself."Man Matt Hughes has me I might as well tap" Its like he almost respects Matt to much that it is a dissadvantage to GSP . GSP has all the tools to beat him, but he needs to go in the ring and forget about everything and let his hands go. His partner had the same problem The Crow when fighting other opponents he has this confidence , but when he step into Franklin he wasnt fighting his style.

Shit i screwed up!! Forgot about the Hughes/GSP fight. Change mine...

HW-AA (Vera won't fight for the title this year)
LHW-Babalu (Will take Chuck into deep waters by staying busy, where he'll tire)
MW-Franklin (No one in the UFC right now can beat him)
WW-GSP (WILL beat Hughes in the rematch, was winning th 1st fight until he found out Hughes learned submissions....won't happen again)
LW-Sherk (Will own this division as Hughes owned WW)

lh-iceman(tho i hope babalu wins)
mw-franklin
ww-hughes
lw-sherk

HW-Arlovski

i agree with all but one, hughes will not have his belt. i don't know who will take it, but i know hughes won't be champ by the end of the year.

HW - Arlovski ( ufc has jus spent too much money for him not to )

LHW - Chuck ( yea yea babalu is gon take him down.....but for teh record chuck still does have a purple belt in jujitsu (correct me if im wrong ) so I think he will be able to handle himself....and well see if babali finds a knee or a shin when he goes for teh takedown. )

MW- Franklin ( anderson this and that...well see after leban, I remember when people were saying great things about assuerio silva too but we all have seen hows thats gone. the fact of the matter is Rich is a solid all around mma champ, and besides in the evan tanner fight.... and Machida he seems to never get phased, just always fights smart fights )

WW - GSP ( just constantly improving...and he cleary showed his strength in teh first fight, so i think hes gon get er done )

LW - BJ Penn - I think hes going to snag the belt with ease, and then try to get back the ww title again...at least thatrs my hopes, and it would really make things interesting.

Well I have to disagree with you. I think George has learned from his mistakes. BJ penn is a much better submission guy than Hughes and GSP was able to avoid submissions with him. We'll see in September
