Most likely to win UFC title in 2013

Between the SF guys coming over like Gil and Cormier to the newest list of contenders in the UFC like Hendricks and Weidman. You can select multiple options. I wanted to make the list of options longer, but you are only allowed so many.

Wanted to have guys like Rockhold, Marquardt, Werdum, McCall, Glover and others but I was limited to how many I could put.

I voted Melendez and Overeem as most likely out of those listed. But Michael McDonald.

Which McDonald? I know one is MacDonald but still. Rory or Michael? I think both have a shot in 2013. Personally I think Michael will beat Barao in the interim fight if it takes place. But I'm not very confident in that pick at all.

The problem I have voting for Melendez is I think Nate wins against Bendo. But then again I could see Nate losing the title before the end of the year and Gil taking it from whoever that is.

The problem for me picking any MW right now too is I'm not sure if Anderson will defend his MW title in 2013. Since the talks of GSP vs Andy is for around May and Anderson might want to take some time off again after that fight.

So IMO if I had to lay down money on most likely I would both Pettis and Overeem since I'm pretty confident both will win their next fight and be granted title shots in 2013. Also looks like Hendricks will get a shot at some point in 2013. So after considering all that, I came up with Pettis and Hendricks since I think they are most likely to win the title fight once they get there.

The McDonald I listed. 7 Seconds, KO.

Ooopss, I missed that last part. My bad.

There should be options for Featherweight, Bantamweight and Flyweight.

I picked Gil because I believe Lightweight is the title more likely to change hands next year.

I went with Hendricks (GSP goes to MW), Weidman (knocks off Andy if the GSP fight doesn't happen), and Showtime (the best LW).

If I could, I would have many more options. But I was limited so this is what I came up with. Probably should have put Frankie on there over Bisping.

JDS murders Cain. Reem murders Bigfoot. JDS murders Reem.
Cormier murders Staring. Nog get hurts. Cormier murders Werdum. Cormier then gives JDS the biggest challenge of his UFC career. Only to lose by TKO deep into the fight.

Jesus told me so. Anyone that can make a tamale like that knows something.
