It has been a bumpy road since Chuck lost to Rampage, but look for him to bounce back an avenge a loss or two in 2009. One of the fights of 2009 will be won by Chuck when he beats Anderson Silva. Chuck sets up for a title shot in 2010. This is only going to happen if Chuck changes it up a little. I give this a 40% Chance.
4. Urijah Faber regains his WEC title and makes his UFC debut.
Does anyone doubt that Faber will win back his title? After he again beats Jens Pulver, he reclaims his belt. Now to the UFC part of this prediction. Dana won't add 145 in the UFC so Faber moves up to 155 and tries to avenge his only other loss in a rematch with Tyson Griffin. Incidentally this earns Tyson his fifth Fight of the Night Bonus. This one I give 55% Chance.
3.Anderson Silva fights at 205 twice, but only wins once.
185 has no real contenders outside of Bisping, Silva moves up and fights twice at 205. He wins against a contender, like Forrest or Wanderlei. But when the dream match with Chuck Liddell happens his unbeaten UFC record gets its first blemish. Don't worry Silva fans he bounces back and knocks out Bisping. I give this a 65% Chance.
2. Tito Ortiz gets more CAT Scans than wins.
One of the most overrated fighters in MMA gets knocked out twice by relative nobodies. I can see one of his losses coming from Seth Petruzelli. This proves that Ortiz is nearing the end of his career. Don't worry if your a fan of Tito he bounces back by doing what he does best and that is beating someone more over-rated than him, Kimbo or Ken Shamrock. CAT Scans win 2-1 and this one has a 90% Chance.
1. UFC further proves it superiority of MMA organizations and signs a deal with ESPN.
Every single organization that has threatened the UFC has fallen, and Affliction is soon to follow. Shows like the Ultimate Fighter and Fight Night stay on Spike, but ESPN throws money down and get the rights to two UFC fights. ESPN broadcast their first fight in the fall and it is a huge success. This one has potential i give it a 85% Chance.
2008 gave us a great year full of interesting fights and even better story lines. Hopefully 2009 trumps it and gives us all more to talk about.
