Former UFC Champ most likely to become Champ again

Belfort is a good one even though he won the title on fluke circumstances

If Carwin can make the list, Belfort shouldn't be a problem.

No he was actually the legitimate champ, I'm just saying he would've gotten his ass beat by Randy again if not for that fluke cut

Nog should be on the list too.

I give only a few a realistic shot of holding the gold again.

HW: Shane Carwin
LHW: Machida then Evans
MW: None
WW: None
LW: BJ

He is most likely to be a champ(former LHW) again at MW since there are no other former MW champs even in that division anymore, but I think Anderson will stop him. I don't give him a very good chance has it stands.

Title says "most likely". So Belfort would fit that.

Carwin held an interim Title, hate if you want, but it was a Title

Vitor I wasn't thinking, but it wasn't a concrete list anways and I don't think he beats Anderson anyways.

WEC guys never held a UFC Title

You know, I can already foresee a lot of annoying conversations where Torres and Faber and Bowles and Brown and everyone else who was a world champion under the Zuffa banner is dismissed because the initials on the gloves said something else.

Dismissed? They were WEC Champions, simple as that

Same thing. They were the world champions of their respective weight classes in a promotion owned and promoted by the UFC as of equal talent. I don't like this at all.

But the question was former UFC Champs?

arbitrary splitting of hairs why?

Because they are WEC Champs, should this include Pride aswell?

The question says "most likely". Can you name a former UFC Champion that has a better chance of winning the MW title?

But the FW and BW divisions under Zuffa were only differentiated by the initials and no other reason. Pride had different owners, rules, ring not a cage etc. They're going to just convert the titles, they're not making Aldo and Grispi fight for a vacant UFC FW title, Aldo will be defending his "UFC title", a title he won from Mike Brown. Thus they should count.

Dude they were never UFC Champions, funny enough when I made the thread I thought Wolfy will probably say what about WECs guys

Exactly what I said there, list was never concrete, add who you want, not gonna make a big deal over it though don't see it happening.

This is a HUGE deal! You better acknowledge Vitor!
