UFC Champions 2 years from now

Okay, bump this again two years from now.

Cain
Jones is going up by 2015, Mousasi or Gustafsson will be champ
Jacare
GSP
Aldo
Mendes
Barao
Benavidez
McMann

At the end of 2015-

HW: Jon Jones

LHW: Alexander Gustafsson

MW: Chris Weidman

WW: GSP

LW: Jose Aldo

FW: Frankie Edgar

BW: Renan Barao

FLW: John Dodson

Women's Bantamweight: Ronda Rousey - superb athlete and is constantly going around training with great fighters

Flyweight: Demetrious Johnson - this division isn't fleshed out enough yet but I saw no reason to believe Joe B or McCall will beat him, Dodson is at least capable but they need to add more fighters

Bantamweight: Michael McDonald - have a feeling Barao moves up when Aldo does which I don't think will be too much longer, he cuts a pretty good amount of weight; Cruz injury still a ? and Faber can beat most of these guys but he isn't getting any younger in another 2.5 years

Featherweight: Chad Mendes - Aldo moves up eventually, his wrestling is good enough to neutralize Barao (see above) and Edgar's days of wearing the strap are over IMO

Lightweight: Anthony Pettis - always been a great striker but its at a different level now...fight with Aldo is still the best in the sport but he has the answers...will take a great wrestler to try and hold him down for 25

Welterweight: GSP - really hope he retires by then, his fights aren't exciting at all anymore and while I acknowledge his place in history I don't have an interest in watching him fight at this point...I can see him fighting only 3-4 times over this period but will be interesting to see what Rory does if he continues to progress and takes out top contenders

Middleweight: Chris Weidman - they say he gets better every day...the grappling is already dominant and the striking is coming along. He'll hold the throne on this division for a while as he's a bad matchup with every current top guy in it IMO

Light Heavyweight: Alexander Gustaffson - Man this division sucks. I have a feeling Jones stays longer than expected but he'd be approaching 30 by then so I'm going to assume he moves up. Gus is the only youthful skilled guy there right now, Glover and Lyoto are already mid-30s...all the old timers will be wrapping things up

Heavyweight: Jon Jones - I like to think Cain will beat him if they fight but I think he might just be too long and athletic. Cain is only going to get so much better, Jones still has tools he can pick up. Interested in seeing him face big dudes though

The scary thing is Jon Jones just turned 26.

There is still time for most of my predictions to come true.

Not gonna happen. No chance Jones goes up. GSP isn't coming back this year, and if he does I don't know that it's for a title immediately. Mighty Mouse is just too good. Your list was solid, though.

Dodson will beat Mighty Mouse in their rematch. GSP wont come back. If Jones beat AJ and Werdum upsets Cain I can see Jones going up. He'll beat Werdum.

Two years from now?
