My Bold UFC Predictions Coming Into 2025

[@rodrigo5664]

There is one more scenario in Tony Ferguson's career, he fights again, wins the fight, fights again, wins again and gets a 6-fight winning streak which gives him the opportunity to fight for the title, he fights for the title and wins in the first round and after Dana White places the belt on him, he decides to retire as the best lightweight of all time.

[@vanyr237]

My man’s overdosed on fentanyl

[@rayless]

And then he goes up to heavyweight and beats jones

[@bdhd2142]

And then he makes khabib go out of retirement and beats him and becomes the greatest lightweight ever

[@eIcucuy]

And then he fights Mario Bautista and smashes his face into the canvas with elbows and ankle picks

[@connorfleniken3447]

And then he resurrects Kimbo Slice just to roundhouse him back to Heaven

[@rocketsrequiem]

The english really say bold predictions instead of hot takes

[@bigmo8588]

I mean the former sounds much classier and better in general

😂😂

[@eIcucuy]

1. Tony Ferguson knocks out Makhachev, Belal, Du Plessis, and Pereira to become the first quadruple champ ever, then khabib comes out of retirement and Tony knocks him out too 2. After Tony beats Khabib he retires, and Dustin Poirier becomes the lightweight, welterweight, middleweight, and light heavyweight champions, then retires 3. Jon jones is the pound for pound greatest fighter ever 4. Tony Ferguson comes back out of retirement and knocks out McNuggets 5. Dustin Poirier comes out of retirement and knocks out illy toptoro 6. Max holloway gets his revenge and knocks out toptoro after pointing to the ground and knocking him out cold 7. Chael p Sonnen comes back for one more fight and solidifies himself as the undisputed undefeated greatest fighter of all time by getting all of the belts 8. Volkanovski gets revenge and knocks out toptoro 9. Belal gets cut from the ufc because nobody can remember the name 10. Aspinall, Pereira, Ngannou, and Jones all gang up on Mario Bautista and take turns knocking him out cold

[@IoanCenturion]

You say that like Chael isn't already an eight division champ

[@eIcucuy]

@ he is but he’s going to get them all again and then the women’s belts

[@IoanCenturion]

@eIcucuy I mean if he's feeling bored he may as well

[@Brooks.was.here9024]

I'm down. The only thing I would hope changes is that when khabib comes out of retirement to take out Tony, the fight gets scheduled and cancelled 3 times before khabib gets too fat during the fourth attempt to make it even as a catchweight or open weight. Like, the commission allows him to weigh _any_ amount but the UFC can't design an octagon that is capable of supporting his weight

[@eIcucuy]

@ can’t design a big enough octagon so the fight happens in the desert, then Tony ankle picks khabib who falls down a sand dune and gets eaten by lions, then tony wins the belt

[@nottsoinnocent]

I don't see Topuria taking an L in 2025. But let's see who's right

[@jacobantony9033]

Dustin Poirer has said he wants to retire in Louisiana, and it sounds like Dana's gonna make it happen, but late 2025. He said he might fight early 2025 to stay active until his retirement fight.

[@allpraisewebb1142]

[@IoanCenturion]

Honestly I could see a Dustin v Justin war that ends with both retiring

[@noaheke2666]

​@@IoanCenturion that would be sick and super climactic for both of them

[@DanAddison]

@@IoanCenturion Possibly and I want them both to retire this year but I actually don’t want them to fight each other again. I’m a huge fan of both and I’d be way more hyped if they both added new names to their resumes.

[@cesaralvarez9436]

Topuria's BJJ and wrestling are top notch, people see him striking and think that boxing is his background but is not. You can watch his first professional fights and you would see how good he is on the ground.

[@kenkashikovacs]

still not good enough spanish boy,he got controlled and take down by mitchell on the ground

[@-Ice_Cold-]

Yeah, ppl who saying he has no ground game and etc, might never seen him fighting and no idea of him having wrestling background

[@cesaralvarez9436]

@ lol you must be kidding, the same Mitchell that got submitted on round 2? 😂

[@Ivan2Jura]

​@@kenkashikovacslike your boy did by Volk, who my boy took out in less than 2 rounds, not 7. Ilia is the next step in fighter evolution and better than Islam everywhere except fence wrestling and the sauna. But he ain't stupid enough to get into either of those with a Dagestani... Ilia has some of the best octagon control in the UFC. If he doesn't miraculously lose it, it's gonna be a lot of Islam looking at the clock scared once again

[@whatamidoingwithmylife8675]

I don't think anyone loves champions moving up a weight class more than this guy.

[@chuancey0389]

Heavy handed boxer with grappling is a nightmare matchup for Charles I think topuria sleeps him tbh and that’s nou mention how good topuria is hunting down a hurt fighter

[@sethsolopow3226]

I think they are both very hard matchups for each other. I think Charles is the exact type of striker to trouble Ilia. Power, knees, Leg kicks, high guard. Can kick at him and pick at him with those tools or hurt him if he overextends. He has the bjj to Submit anyone or at least keep the back for the rest of The Round. I think if Ilia drops him, he won't go in Charles' guard. I think Charles is bigger and has been improving his Wrestling and may take him down like he did Chandler. It's very winnable for Charles imo

[@davidkosiba624]

Comparing Ilia to Chandler is crazy , also Charles gets dropped every fight , the reason why he doesn't lose much is because a lot of those opponents are strikers only and they are scared to go after a knock down, Ilia would not be ​@@sethsolopow3226

[@InvertedFreeSolo]

Anthony Smith should not be allowed in the Octagon again. That Reyes fight was beyond disturbing. He needs to get some help

[@codiekdjohnson]

I think whenever Tony is done in the UFC, he's either BKFC or GFL bound. It's only gonna get worse I think.

[@timwalker6239]

My hot take, “mah-hah-chev”. My bold prediction? Sonnen’s return.

[@jaylimbachia1673]

You think Chael Sonnen will return?

[@Brooks.was.here9024]

Sonnen vs Ariel 2 Unfinished business

[@giorgi326]

16:54 dagestani and chechnya is two diffrent regions but why not georgians? we have 2 champs and 2 ranked guys already is it not logical to bring more georgians to ufc??? specially we are all from same region and it is way easier to bring georgians in ufc because we have independence country and there is no problem with passport unlike russian passports

[@jerrymack95]

jon is like one of the only fighters that will post paragraphs on twitter to convince people he should fight someone he shouldnt

[@mitchsmix269]

Ive been calling for Wonderboy to retire for awhile just bc I dont wanna see him keep taking damage, but I could be on board to see him thoroughly outclass Bryan Battle and then hang it up

Kinda surprised Gaethje wasn’t mentioned in the retirement section. I feel like he’s 1-2 fights away from retiring, he even said after getting KO’d by max that if he gets KO’d again he’s retiring

[@gurpalsingh5105]

Mark my words - Leon Edwards will get his title back..

[@gooberthorpos8195]

How can you be so sure topuria stands no chance against Makhachev, who was taken to the 4th round by Poirier? Same with Charles, who is extremely hittable going up against potentially one of the best knockout artists we’ve ever seen?

[@dima12130]

My hot take: Joaquin Buckley will be the champion by the end of 2025

Least bold predictions ever

[@FaisalQuadri22]

I thought Usman would retire after the rematch to Leon. If he lost I figured he’d say it’s over. Everyone knows about his knees. Dudes had a legendary career, why tarnish it even more. Then he fought khamzat on weeks notice. Kamaru is an animal and a legend and as sad as it would be to see him go, I think it’s time. But who knows, bros about to drop to 155 and beat Islam or some crazy 😂😂

[@RiversEdge-e9y]

day 1 of asking hopero to make a video about UFC Fight Night: Moraes vs. Sandhagen - the most historically significant fight night ever - topuria and DDP debuted, aspinall's second ever UFC fight, buckley got that famous knockout, sandhagen's first main event, etc.

[@edwardkelly3280]

My two most interesting fighters of 2025 Men's:Illa Topuria My Bold predictions each class Biggest Men's MMA Prediction:Conor McGregor and Jon Jones won't fight in the UFC in 2025.Conor relationship with UFC sours even more and Jones wont get enough money to fight Biggest Women's MMA Prediction:All three women belt holders will lose their belt but Valentina or Zhang will move up a weight class Men's125:Alexandre Pantoja will vacate which is more likely.If he fights 2 times at Flyweight next year I feel an upset will happen.You have to have some concern about Alexandre Pantoja's age.He's going be 35 next year Women's 125:Manion Firiot will upset Valentina Shevcehnko.Also keep an eye on Natalia Silva and Macey Barber.I wouldn't be surprised if Alexa Grasso lose her next fight or not fight in 2025.She recently broke her leg. Men's 135:Both Merab and Sean O'Malley will lose their next fight.Umar isn't afraid of Merab wrestling and he knows he got the striking tool to sap Merab's biggest weapon(stamina). Women's 135:Julianna and Raquel will begin to fade away in Women's Bantamweight title contention picture. Kayla Harrison and Macey Chiasson will continue to rise.I'm a little curious about Amanda Nunes but imo I feel she won't come back. 145:Max Holloway retire from fighting Featherweight full time and move up Lightweight.I feel Topuria will move up. 155:Justin Gaethje will retire alongside with Dustin Poirier they will go a Justin vs Dustin 3 in Louisiana at Smoothie King Arena(New Orleans).Charles Olivera gets knocked out. 170:I'm actually think Belal has a decent chance of losing his belt due to age. Then again I think style wise his wrestling offense should be better than Shavkat and JDM. 185:Dricus Du Plessis will keep the belt and defeats Sean Strickland and Khazmat Chimaev.Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker downfall will continue. 205:Alex Periera will lose his belt I like the guy but his grappling hasn't been truly tested. 265:Tom Aspinal become undisputed Heavyweight belt holder

[@DanAddison]

I can’t believe people are now expecting to see Jones vs Aspinall. I think no way will Jones ever fight him.

[@gjbsarmeri3957]

No way we get 3 champ vs champ fights. I would be surprised if we get even one. Topuria vs Islam at the end of the year I don't see, a lot would have to happen for that to set up. Pantoja vs Merab is most likely but I'm not sure. If Aspinall beats Jones he will fight Gane next.
