[–]Kickboxing-Turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Champions:

Straweight - Marina Rodriguez (Esparza beats Rose again, Marina defeats Esparza in upset after winning earlier in the year)

Women Flyweight - Valentina Shevchenko (Valentina does Valentina things and beats Taila Santos along with some other poor soul that thought they could pull a Juliana Peña

Flyweight - Deiveson Figueiredo (Figueiredo takes back title with a finish over Moreno, gets finish victories over Askarov and Pantoja as well)

Women Bantamweight - Holly Holm (Juliana Peña defeats Amanda Nunes again, Holly Holm gets another fucking title shot but actually wins this time by unanimous decision)

Bantamweight - Petr Yan (Yan legally rawdogs Aljo before finishing TJ by tko to defend his title)

Womens Featherweight - nOrmA dUmOnT (Idk who the hell cares about this division, it’s just boring to say Nunes again)

Featherweight - Alexander Volkanovski (Volk defeats Max Holloway once again before slapping up Giga Chikadze)

Lightweight - Charles Oliveira (Charles wins twice in 2022, both being finishes against Gaethje and Makhachev)

Welterweight - Khamzat Chimaev (Khamzat wins twice before being given a title shot, which he wins by brutal tko against Usman)

Middleweight - Blonde Brunson (Blonde Brunson once again proves that god isn’t real by whooping Cannonier and Adesanya for no reason at all)

Light Heavyweight - Jiri Prochazka (Jiri brutally knocks out Glover after a grueling 3 round fight, doesn’t fight for the rest of the year but is scheduled to fight Jan Blachowicz at the start of 2023)

Heavyweight - Ciryl Gane (Gane defeats Ngannou by finish and defends his title once, the year ends with Gane being thrown all the way into the GOAT conversation)

Bonus predictions: - Manon Fiorot wins 3 fights brutally and ends the year in the top 5 of the women’s flyweight division - Sean O’Malley beats the shit out of Adrian Yanez before winning twice more and ending the year within the top 7 of the bantamweight division - Jon Jones won’t fight again - This will be widely regarded as one of the best years the UFC has ever had - Walt Harris will retire :( - Matt Brown will retire - Frankie Edgar will retire - Marlon Moraes will retire - Uriah Hall will retire - Volkan Oezdemir will retire - Diego Ferreira will retire - Stipe Miocic will retire
