My list exactly but I'd swap GSP for Serra. I don't think GSP will have another shot before the year is out. Same for CC.

UFC:

HW: AA
LHW: Chuck (Q will be the toughest fight of his life)
maybe he retires with nothing more to prove to himself
MW: A. Silva (for the dreamers - Franklin will never defeat Silva)
WW: GSP (if he gets another shot) or Serra (after beats the "talented dick")
LW: BJ

Pride: if they take on all 5 divisions
what about SuperHW?
some may think its a freak show, but if they have talent let them fight.

HW: Fedor (dominates with elbows)
LHW: Shogun (beats hendo then takes out tito in 08)
MW: Hendo (he has to concentrate on one or he'll lose both)
WW:Sakurai
LW: Diaz (shows ufc why they should not have dumped him)

I think if Pride made a super HW division then Mark Hunt would be champ in there, his ground game isnt great, but the only other SHW with a good ground game is Ron Waterman, and as we all know, he cant take a punch to save his life, and Mark would pound him.

Mark's takedown defence aint so bad either, mainly because he is so massive!

UFC:

HW - Chuck
LHW - Rampage
MW - A.Silva
WW - GSP
LW - Serra (maybe not by the end of the year, but I think he'll try to move back down sooner or later)

Pride:

HW - Fedor
LHW - Shogun
MW - Filho
WW - Mach
LW - Aoki

UFC

HW-Nog
LHW-Chuck
MW-Franklin
WW-GSP
LW-Sherk

Pride

HW-Fedor
MW-Shogun
WW-Hendo
LW-Diaz

*UFC*
HW - Vera
LHW - Rampage...i see him beating Chuck,but i dont see him holding the belt for long...
MW - Kendall Grove...maybe not in exactly 1 year,but sometime 08 if he keeps winning in impressive fashion they must give him a shot
WW - GSP
LW - Penn

*Pride*

HW - Fedor
LHW - Shogun
MW - Hendo
WW - Sakuri...or Diaz if he moves back up
LW -Diaz

The UFC's heavyweight division is an interesting little mess now, isn't it? I think Cro Cop could have the belt a year from now, if he wants it. He just doesn't seem into it right now. Nogueira is probably a good prediction.

I give Rampage a shot to beat Liddell, but not a great one. I expect Liddell to still have the belt in a year.

GSP and Penn are my choices too.

Fedor, Shogun, Henderson are all my picks.

Sakurai, maybe, but I think Filho and Kang have a good chance to win the 170 belt.

I don't have a link handy, but I'm pretty sure Diaz said that he couldn't make 155. I expect he'll go back to 170, and Gomi will keep the 155 belt.
