Now with the UFC getting all of this talent the LHW Devision is gonna be very competitive

We might even see 2 team members fight eachother

I am gonna simulate how I think things will go down

1. Dan Henderson beats Rampage

2. Shogun beats Forrest and gets a title shot

3. Chuck beats Keith

4. Jason Lambert beats Wilson Goviea

5. Nakamura beats Lyoto

6. Rashad beats Tito

FUTURE FIGHTS I SEE HAPPENING

1. Hendo VS Shogun ( For Title )

Shogun Beats Hendo

2. Chuck VS Wandy ( For # 1 Contender )

Chuck beats Wandy

3. Jason Lambert VS Rashad Evans ( For # 2 Contender )

Rashad beats Jason

4. Kazuhiro Nakamura VS Rampage

That is Just how I see things Goin Down

Page beats hendo, shogun beats page, wand beats chuck, chuck still gets a title shot because wand more then likly won't fight shogun, and shogun retires chuck. I think Shogun's the futre, at 25 he's got alot of time.

Yeah that s probably why the UFC want s them 2 fight again because it is a sure win for Rashad and he could possibly be a Poster Boy

Excuse me? How is that a sure win for Rashad if he fights Jason Lambert again?

There is no such thing as a sure win in the UFC.
Jason Lambert is as tough as they come.

I see Henderson uppercutting Rampage to victory

Forrest Griffin pulling the upset of Shogun Rua

Forrest Griffin vs. Dan Henderson For The Light Heavyweight Champion

Chuck defeats Jardine by Brutal KO.

Tito Ortiz defeats Rashad Evans

Wanderlei defeats Chuck by Knee to Face tactics.

Shogun Rua defeats Tito Ortiz

Wandelei fights Shogun Rua to get the rights to fight the winner of Griffin/Henderson.

hendo beats page for title
shogun beats forrest {tho i want forrest ta win}
chuck smashes keith
tito whoops rashad

hendo or shogun keep/earn title
chuck whoops wanderlei
tito beats rampage

then chuck vs. hendo/shogun for the title an whoever wins fights tito
an i think rashad doesnt fight lambert at all i don think he's a top contender but i think he fights jardine or griffin an hopefully gets dogged

this is pretty much most of wat i think will happen an some wat i would want to happen....

american fighter ace, forrest over shogun? are you kidding me? shogun will have the belt soon enough regardless of who wins between rampage/hendo. and lidell will not hold the belt again

Hendo or Page is just holding that belt for Shogun

No matter what the scenario, Shogun will be champ within the next year and will have a Liddell/Hughes/Wandy style reign for a long time.

First off whoever thinks Rashad is going to beat Tito is a ******* dumbass.,but anyway i think shogun will beat griffin,tito over evans,liddell over jardine, and rampage over hendo.Then Shogun and Rampae for the title and wandi and chuck for number 1 contender.Then Tito vs hendo to get back in the picture.

I don't think Tito beats Rashad based on that last round

I think Rashad will Get the Split Decision

im actually leaning more towards rashad in the 2nd fight with tito, i dont think he'll be as tentative this time around now that he knows he can hang with tito(the 3rd round should be a confidence booster).

as far as the thread title goes, the future of the LHW division can be summed up in one word:SHOGUN

I know I may get killed for this but if Soko comes to the UFC I see some great battles between him and Shogun like a Chuck Randy 123 set up.

It all depends on whether or not soko has a chin. Been tested once and he was KO'd, but still thats not a true test because it was a great shot and anyone can be put out once. So we'll see soko and shogun are great fighters and very young.

Hey, I am pretty much positive I said, that Liddell would get knocked out by Wanderlei, not securing a title shot for him, I dont think Liddell will be a champion again either.

Look at all of the Pride Fighters who have made their way into The Octagon and had Octagon Rust or Fright.

Heath Herring lost his first match.
Rampage looked sloppy in his first match against Marvin Eastman.
Mirko Cro Cop looked OK against Eddie Sanchez.
Big Nog almost lost against Heath Herring in the Octagon.

What I am saying is all of these guys really did not fight a BIG NAME in the UFC and they all had less than great performances.
Shogun Rua is fighting a devistating striker and Octagon Veteran and Title Shot Hopefull FORREST GRIFFIN.

Rua could go in there and choke or come un-prepared or overlooking Forrest Griffin, there is no such thing as a gaurenteed win, look at the upsets of Jens Pulver/Joe Lauzon, Jens Pulver was a 7 to 1 favorite, and thats pretty good.

Might I mention, before the Matt Serra/Georges St. Pierre fight, I said that Matt Serra would catch Georges off gaurd and attack him and push the pace while standing, I did not think he was going to knock him out, but I did believe he was going to win.

Upsets happen, seeing Forrest defeat Shogun would not be that big of a surprise for me because Forrest has alot to prove and Shogun could easily get caught.

have you seen any of shogun's fights? he has been hit by way better strikers then forrest, and he hits harder then anyone forrest has faced. I like forrest, but i'm also a realist, and forrest stands little hopes of beating shogun imo. also to your response joe l was a 7-1 dog because he was unknown, shogun is not unknown and has been ranked #1 for a while. also the only reason forrest is in line for a title shot is because he is fighting shogun. Do you honestly beleive after getting ko'd by kj, and then a lackluster fight with hector DW is sitting in his office saying" man forrest really deserves a title shot" no more like"man shogun really deserves a title shot so we will throw him a ufc fan favorite like forrest so he can get good exposure in the ufc. forrest's striking is only average he keeps his hands apart and low. there is always a chance he could upset shogun, but there is always a chance a snowball might not melt in hell too!

I honestly think that Henderson will keep the belt for at least to denfenses, though they may be against big names like shotgun and even Liddell. Henderson is just such an amazing athlete and not to mention, held two title in Pride in different weight divisions. If he doesnt dominate the LHW division then it will be the middleweight which will be way easier, though Silva vs Henderson will be a great matchup.
