GSP continues to dominate the WW division without going to MW.

BJ Penn comes out of retirement.

Fedor comes into the UFC and is fed to either Jon Jones (As a debut HW fight) or Cain Velasquez. (Dana will lowball Fedor)

Jose Aldo will move above GSP in most P4P rankings.

UFC PPV numbers will decline on average.

Awesome predictions.

I can definately see an in-form Nick Diaz beating a rusty, injury-depleted GSP.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if Anderson KOed Chael in spectacular fashion, ATG that he is. And if he did that, there's no reason for him to fight on. No-one left to fight except Bones, and I don't see Anderson being dumb enough to take that fight and go out with a vicious beating laid on him.

Don't know about Mir and the Strikeforce champ, but obviously he'll be headed for the UFC and a Mir-level first-up opponent certainly makes sense.

And I was impressed by Gustaffson's performance. If he can come up with one or two more victories I reckon he'd be a logical contender for Jones.

[Jojoba]

Condit becomes WW champ.
King Mo becomes LHW champ.
Silva annihilates Sonnen.
GSP retires after getting smashed by Ellenberger.
Jones loses 3 on the bounce and leaves to pursue the High-jump.
