2015 MMAFO MMA Predictions

The Champions
Fabricio Werdum becomes the undisputed UFC Heavyweight Champion.

Jon "Bones" Jones remains UFC Light Heavyweight Champion through the year.

Luke Rockhold becomes UFC Middleweight Champion.

Johny Hendricks defeats Robbie Lawler in the trilogy fight but loses to Rory MacDonald who ends the year at UFC Welterweight Champion.

Jake Shields defeats Rousimar Palhares to become the WSOF Welterweight Champion.

Anthony Pettis retains his UFC Lightweight title but defends it only twice in the calendar year.

Jose Aldo defeats all comers to retain his UFC Featherweight title for the entire year.

Renan "Barao" Pegado defeats TJ Dillashaw for the UFC Bantamweight title in the rematch setting up the trilogy fight.

Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson rolls through the UFC Flyweight division as the untouched king and the populace doesn't care. :(

We don't get a fight between WSOF Strawweight Champion Jessica Aguilar and UFC Strawweight Champion Carla Esparza and that's a shame.
