LOL!! at GSP being MW champ. 3 years is to hard to predict, it is kinda a stretch.

HW: Cain Velasquez -- striking should be sick by this time and will always have the wrestling fall-back. Junior will only be 28. Frank Mir will be 33.

LHW: Jon Jones -- the kid is just ridiculous. Shogun will be 31, but his style may leave him punch drunk by this point. Phil Davis won't be 30 at this point.

MW: GSP -- wrestling and striking would be the best at this level still. Maybe Alan Belcher, Thales Leites or Yushin Okami.

WW: Thiago Alves -- he will be 29, he should be really sick by then. Just beats out a mid-30 BJ. Maybe Anthony Johnson improves, he'll be under 30 still.

LW: Jose Aldo -- would only be 26 at this point. Frankie Edgar will be a few years older, and Gray Maynard will be mid-30s, plus his style shouldn't be too affected by age. Tyson Griffin will be 28.

Maybe not, but 3 years is a longass time. Brock would be nearly 36, so he may not even still be in the game. If he is, he has ~9 title defenses in order to still be the champion in 3 years.

My picks are the same as Farmer's, but I have BJ at WW.

I think no one on this thread is nearly as accurate as Ali. He hit it right on the nose! Barring his rightness, my picks are:

HW - Brock
LHW - J. jones
MW - GSP
WW - T. Alves
LW - Aoki?

HW- Mir
LHW- Jones
MW- Mousasi
WW- BJ Penn
LW- Deigo

WEC
LW- Cowboy
FW- Aldo
BW- Cruz

lw-aldo/florian
ww-penn/alves/fitch
mw-gsp/sonnen if he is still learning
lhw-silva/mousassi
hw-cain/jds

LightHeavyweight-

3 years ago= Chuck Liddell
Current= Lyoto Machida

3 years ago= GSP
Current= GSP
In 3 years time= BJ, not tough to imagine that.

Lightweight-

3 years ago= Sean Sherk
