Will these fighters ever become UFC Champions?

Heavyweight- JDS
Light-Heavyweight- Ryan Bader
Middleweight- Alan Belcher
Welterweight- John Hathaway
Lightweight- Kenny Florian

Heavyweight- JDS - maybe, 60% chance.
Light-Heavyweight- Ryan Bader - absolutely in Strikeforce, still 65% chance in the UFC.
Middleweight- Alan Belcher - 0% chance. He's blind in one eye and going to retire.
Welterweight- John Hathaway - 30% chance because I have not seen anything beyond the Diego Sanchez fight.
Lightweight- Kenny Florian - 35% chance but only because the UFC are going to give him title shots forever.

Light-Heavyweight- Ryan Bader NO
Middleweight- Alan Belcher NO
Welterweight- John Hathaway NO

I don't think so. Hathaway and Bader have the best shot and I question the Sanchez fight against Hathaway. That was for the Brits! Bader still hasn't showed me enough yet. Guys like Mo and Rashad would own him imo. Other UFC guys like Shogun, Machida, Bones, and Page would too. Lil Nog, Forrest, and Franklin would have a good shot at beating him too.

John Hathaway is only 22 and shows a lot of promise.

I think Gray is gonna beat Kenny anyways.

I agree with you there, but Diego was coached in that fight imo. That was one o those Kimbo/Seth fights. No way a wrestler like Diego doesn't pursue a TD after two shoots. Something was wrong in that fight. Hathaway needs to prove me wrong.

Maybe Florian if BJ moves up.

I always forget about that opportunity. I'd take Florian then. Same with Hathaway if GSP moved up. My problem with Hathaway is that I don't think he can beat GSP, and GSP is young enough to be champ for a long while. By the time he's done, I think there'll be some tough guys coming up (Ben Askren) that'll be better than Hathaway.

JDS - 50% chance. He is coming into a very tough time to be HW Champion
Ryan Bader - 10% He is in arguably the toughest division with JJ.
Alan Belcher - 30% Flashes of brilliance and toughness, but this too would be a hard climb
John Hathaway - 0% chance eye or no eye
Kenny Florian - 30% chance even though he is my favorite, he like Bader is in a very tough division, but he is a higher rated fighter than Bader too.

Bader has time on his side. In five years he will still be relevant when most of the current division is sliding downward.

People are getting way too carried away on Hathaway, the kid has potential but it's not like he dominated Fitch, he beat a Lightweight.

Diego won TUF at 85. Just sayin.

Hey, it's a great win for Hathaway to have but it hardly means he's going to become the future Welterweight champion.

Bump.

JDS yes! yes! yes!

Should be an exciting fight vs Carwin.

JDS is in a prime position to capture some gold. Florian has arguably made it tougher by moving into Aldo's domain.

damn the hype train for hathaway after beating a non top 10 welter was out of control

Florian's got a better chance at 45 cause it was never going to happen at 55

Yeah, I got carried away with his win also.

Is Ali Ed Soares?
