it was between Rampage and Nog for me, and ultimately i had to go with Page...and simply because the division is so stacked with tough guys right now. but somehow, Rampage solves the problems and could easily defend that belt for a very very long time.

Felch and GSP is not going to cause a change in title. Fitch is as overrated as anyone in the UFC.
Anderson sold his soul to the devil.
BJ could lose to Huerta but I don't think he will.
I disagree with some others about Nog being such a dominate force in the HW division. A lot of the guys he has on the chopping block soon are top shelf BJJ as well so the fact is someone will get submitted and Nog is fallible. Werdum and Mir could go either way IMO. I actually think at least with Mir his best chance at the title is Nog since Nog will play chess with him. I do want to see them go at it. Nog definelty has the heart though.
Rampage is who I chose despite my thoughts about HW. His division has too many people who can knock each other out. I would probably answer the same no matter who was the belt holder at 205 because it really is a matter of who catched who in that division. The Chuck/Wand fight was an exception I think because tose two both refused to die after the years of build up but just about everyone who gets into the cage with Rampage can beat him and he them.
With all that said, I do think we have a great group of champions. I am not unhappy about any of them and I feel they are all deserving and represent the sport well. It really is a good time for the UFC in this regard. The planets and the champions have aligned.

I picked LW, not because I think Penn will lose the belt anytime soon. I think he may drop the belt to go fight at WW. He may not even defend it against Huerta or Florian. He even mentioned it in the press conference that after beating Sherk, he doesn't see the appeal of fighting Huerta or Florian. So I think he will drop the title before the year is through and bump up to fight GSP. I mean the only reason he stayed at LW was to fight Sherk, not to fight Stevenson. Now that that is all over, I can see him leaving the division.

i really hope you're wrong and he does defend against the winner of Huerta/Florian...then fights GSP. i hope the UFC talks him into it.

mm ill have to say eithor rampage or big nog.
anderson looks have to have the mw under wraps for the time being.
if gsp beats fitch then he pretty much cleared out the top guys of the division.
penn probably wont lose to anyone if he stays at lw.
rampage probably wont lose to forrest, but may lose to machida or someone else.
big nog probably wont lose to mir, but hes getting older and i think its just a matter of time. probably 2nd-3rd title defense i think he loses.

I'd say GSP. The new guy Kim Dong-hyun looked damn good. Didn't get to see much of his standup but he looked awesome in all other areas. I know it was only one fight but the guy looked really good. If UFC gives him a fight against one of the top guys, he should get the title shot very soon imo.
I would also say that Hendo will beat Silva in their rematch.
Rampage will beat Forrest (obviously) and I think he will get past Wandy as well with hios confidence skyrocketing.
Big Nog should stay champ for awhile in HW.
