We’re doing our highest to foretell the UFC title champions in every division to shut out 2023.
We’re contemporary into 2023 and we’re already trying to the tip of it. Rattling, isn’t that only a signal of the occasions? The MMA occasions, that’s, as a result of we’re tremendous geeked for this upcoming yr of MMA goodness. Now we have Bellator debuting on CBS, the (hopeful) showdown between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic, the farewell to Fedor Emelianenko, in addition to having eyes on Kayla Harrison to see how she rebounds from her first profession loss.
With all that happening, we’ve determined that the very first thing we wish to discuss this yr is the tip of it. Particularly, who’s going to be the highest canine of their divisions within the UFC? We already noticed Israel Adesanya get dethroned from his spectacular run as UFC middleweight champion to mainly shut out 2022, so what else can occur?
The sunshine heavyweight division is in kinds of upheaval for the time being, after seeing three males maintain the title since October of 2021, just for it now to at present sit with no champion to carry the title. The same scenario might be seen with the ladies’s strawweight division. Rose Namajunas began the yr as champion, rocking Zhang Weili twice in 2021 to win and retain the belt. Then she misplaced it in a snore fest to Carla Esparza. Then Esparza misplaced it again to Weili. Are we going to get Weili vs. Namajunas three in 2023?
Who is aware of. What we do know is that predicting this chaos isn’t simple, and most of it’s simply photographs in the dead of night, packed in by educated guesses and a number of fandoms. We don’t know if these following women and men will maintain the titles of their respective weight courses when the clock strikes midnight to begin 2024, however we now have hope that at the very least certainly one of them will likely be proper.
I imply, we now have to do higher than final yr, proper?
